Whistleblowing - A New Concept In Labor Law

The concept of whistleblowing, which we have heard many times recently, has become the subject of legal regulations and in this sense has also become the subject of internal policy and practices of companies. European Union referred to the concept of whistleblowing in the Directive dated 8 June 2016 and practices regarding whistleblowing are being implemented differently in the Member States. In Turkey, although whistleblowing is not solely regulated by law, the concept of whistleblowing has become very relevant for companies which have connection with abroad. We have begun to take care of this issue in the context of the general provisions of Turkish law. We will try to give information about whistleblowing regulation and practices and to determine the situation in Turkish law with this article.
