Termination Due to Downsizing During and After the Pandemic Process

Abstract

The new type of coronavirus (COVID-19) virus, which has spread throughout the world since the beginning of 2020, has become the cause of an important socio-economic crisis, which is not only a health crisis, but also deeply affects social and economic life. In particular, the economic recession experienced during this period triggered contraction and market loss in some sectors. Accordingly, the tendency of employers to hire workers has increased due to reasons such as the reduction and closure of enterprises. In this study, the situation of the termination of the employment contract due to the downsizing of the employer against the provisions of the Labor Law code 4857 regarding the termination of the employment contract has been examined in terms of the provisions and consequences of both the Covid-19 pandemic process and the post-pandemic period. Termination of the employment contract of a worker who is covered by the “job security” in accordance with article 18 of the Labor Code must be based on a valid reason in the event that there is no justified reason. Otherwise, there will be an “invalid termination”, which will have different consequences in terms of results and provisions. At the same time, the reduction of the workplace is a valid reason for termination, which is usually considered as an in-business reason and is considered among the reasons “arising from the requirements of the enterprise, workplace or business” in accordance with the aforementioned dec. However, in a process where there are “termination bans” in the pandemic process, going down the path of termination on the grounds of downsizing (as a valid reason) is a non-operational reason and brings controversy to the doctrine. Because, during the period when the prohibition of termination is in force, it is important what legal sanctions the employer will terminate for a reason other than “violation of the rules of morality and goodwill” will be subject to. As a result, when the provisions of the relevant article are examined and the general purpose of the prohibition of termination provision is taken into account (subject to worker job security or not), it is concluded that the termination made during the prohibition period should be considered invalid due to violation of the mandatory provisions of the law. For this reason, it should only be satisfied with the determination of the invalidity without the need to file a return to work lawsuit.
