Turkish labor court rulings on employment termination

Overview

Recent Turkish court rulings have addressed various employment termination disputes involving allegations of workplace misconduct.

In one instance, the Regional Court of Appeal ordered the reinstatement of a waiter who had been dismissed after a manager claimed he placed a tea glass on a table too forcefully. The court determined that the incident and subsequent verbal disputes did not constitute valid grounds for dismissal, noting that the employer had failed to issue written warnings.

Conversely, the Court of Cassation upheld the dismissal of a sales employee in Izmir. The employee had alleged they were subjected to mobbing and insults, but the court confirmed lower court rulings that the employee’s verbal altercations with a manager constituted “harassment” (sataşma) and violated ethical values under Labor Law No. 4857.
