In the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, various administrative sanctions are regulated. One of them is “partial or complete suspension of the work in the workplace”. As a matter of fact, the purpose of this study is to examine the conditions of partial or complete suspension of the work, the implementation of the decision to suspension the work, its effect on employment relations and the abolition of the decision to suspension the work in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331. For this purpose, in our article, judicial decisions and controversial issues in the doctrine are also included. The mentioned sanction is regulated on Article 25 of the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, besides in the Regulation on Suspension of The Work at Workplaces (which was put into effect based on this Law). Multiple reasons were envisaged for suspension of the work. However, the implementation of this sanction depends on the decision of a committee consisting of labour inspectors. This committee consists of three inspectors and decides the suspension upon the report prepared by the labour inspector who has authority to inspect in terms of occupational health and safety. The employer may appeal against this decision at the authorized labour court within six working days. Court’s decision on this dispute is final and incontestable. According to the Law No. 6331, the employer has to pay employees’ wages at the period of suspension of the work or provide them another job that will not cause any change in their status.
