- Introduction
The Regulation on Short time Work and Short time Work Allowance
(in Turkish "Kısa Çalışma ve
Kısa Çalışma Ödeneği Hakkında
Yönetmelik" hereinafter referred to as
"Regulation") has been published in the Official Gazette
dated April 30, 2011 and numbered 27920.
In Turkish Law, according to the Regulation, public authorities
are able to influence the adjustment of the labor input between
changes in employment levels and changes in the average hours
worked.1
Recently, some countries like Turkey have started to see the
economic impact of the Covid-19 in terms of importing raw materials
and goods from other countries where the spread of virus was
initially strong. In this context many workplaces all over the
world cannot work at full capacity or cannot work at all because of
the pandemic. Therefore, the employer who has started to struggle
economically has started to look for new solutions.2
