Abstract:

The coronavirus emerged as a force majeure and the necessity for different measures in order not to harm the employees has been appeared. One of the most important measures is for “short-term working pracite”. In addition, even if the working does not stop at Covid-19 course, if they want, employees can terminate the employment contract within the just termination. On the other hand, the employer's right of termination of the contract is also prohibited for the certain duration. As another measure, the worker is given the right to abstain from working if conditions arise. The outbreak should also be thought in the contexts of work accident and occupational disease; the pandemic can not be the cause for occupational diseases, but under the available conditions, it can cause the work accidents. Again, it is possible to ban the worker who had the disease by the cause of working; In this case, the employment contract will be suspended. Due to the epidemic, annual paid leave may be applied to workers for precautionary purposes. In order not to exceed the “three-month period”, the application of unpaid leave can be choosed, entirely or completely, by the employers. Working from home is also perceived as a precaution.
