Recent Development
Within the scope of the measures taken due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the Presidential Decisions No. 2706 and No. 2810 extended
the short-time working allowance twice.
The short-time working allowance has been extended again, this
time for two months, with the Presidential Decision No. 2915, which
was published in the Official Gazette dated August 31, 2020, and
No. 31230.
What Does the Presidential Decision Say?
The Presidential Decision No. 2706 extended the short-time
working allowance period for one month for workplaces that applied
for the allowance by June 30, 2020 (inclusive) due to compelling
reasons arising from COVID-19, without requiring a new application
and compliance review for the same employees who were benefiting
from the short-term working allowance and based on the same
terms.
