IN ACCORDANCE WITH LABOUR LAW NO. 4857 PART TIME EMPLOYMENT PERMIT DUE TO CHILDBIRTH AND ADOPTION

With the amendments made in the legislation on labor law in recent years, a number of arrangements for working mothers have been brought to work life. One of these new regulations, the second paragraph of Article 74 of the Labor Law No. 4857 is added by Law No. 6663. Women workers who give birth have been given the right of free leave for half of the weekly working time with the arrangement. This right is legally granted to male or female workers who adopted a three-year-old child. This provision aims to create an environment that let workers keep their job and also take care their children. In practice, it is expressed as part time employment permit. In the event of legal conditions, the employee who uses half work permit, regardless of the employer's acceptance, will also affect the working order of the employer in the workplace, except for a certain period. The provisions in the legislation are not sufficient to eliminate any hesitations in the application of the right to leave. Therefore, the provisions on the part time employment permit must be clearly revised
