D -) Appeal:
The defendant’s attorney appealed the decision.
E -) Rationale:
20/II of Labor Law No. 4857.c.Clearly in Article 1, proof that termination is based on valid reasons
the burden was given to the defendant’s employer.
In fulfilling the burden of proof, the employer will first prove that it complies with the formal conditions of termination.
Accordingly, the termination of the written notice, in certain cases, the defense of the worker is requested
documentation of the reasons for termination based on the content of the written termination as concrete and clear
he must have shown it. Once it is understood that the employer has fulfilled the formal conditions, the content
the stage of proving that the reasons for termination are valid (or justified) will be passed.
18 Of The Labor Law No. 4857. article refers to the employer, the worker’s behaviour and competence
it has given the authority to terminate the employment contract for reasons arising. From worker’s behaviour
the purpose followed in the termination resulting from the conduct of the worker contrary to the employment contract he had previously committed
not to punish or sanction; to continue to breach its contractual obligations,
it is to avoid the possibility of a repeat. Termination of employment contract due to worker’s behavior
in order for the employee to act contrary to the labor contract, a violation of the contract must exist. Labour’s flawed
he contravened the contract with his conduct and as a result his business relationship was in a negative way
if affected, there is a valid termination resulting from the worker’s conduct. By contrast, Labour’s
a liability to the worker for his conduct contrary to the contract, which is not based on defect or negligence
the reason for valid termination resulting from the worker’s conduct as it cannot be installed
it can’t be mentioned.
The reasons for the worker’s behaviour and competence are stated in Article 25 of the same act. in the article
besides the stated reasons, although not of this nature, it is important to see work in the workplaces
causes that affect the extent negatively. Caused by the worker’s behavior or incapacity
for reasons, it is important and reasonable for the employer to maintain the working relationship
where it cannot be expected, it will be necessary to accept that the termination is based on valid reasons.
The employer with the burden of proof is responsible for the plaintiff’s conduct or inadequacy in the valid and justified cause.
it must also prove that it leads to negativity in the workplace and that the working relationship becomes unbearable.
On the other hand, the reasons of the Labor Law which are valid termination due to the inadequacy of the worker
one of the examples that he would bestow upon the right is getting sick frequently and receiving reports.
In case of receiving frequent reports, the employer will not be able to benefit from the employee’s employment, albeit intermittently. Often
the absence of the worker, who is frequently ill and receiving reports, will therefore lead to negative effects in the workplace.
it is an obvious phenomenon. The reason for being sick frequently in the rationale of the Labour Code is the reason for competence
to be considered as an example is to accept that it leads to negativity in the workplace.
18/3 Of The Employment Law No. 4857 Of Employers. in accordance with article f 25/I. of the same lawunder Article b
in addition, the employee may not terminate the employment contract within the six-week waiting period. But the worker’s
frequent reports, including intermittent, do not fall within this coverage. Total in case of frequent reports
even if the time it is reported remains within the waiting period, frequent reporting can lead to downsides in the workplace.
if it is opened, the employee’s employment contract may be terminated with notice or for a period of time. In this case the termination is valid
it’s based on reason.
According to the file contents, the plaintiff was 9 times in 2015, 5 times in 2014, 3 times in 2013 and 2 times in 2012
he received 39 days of reports in total, which he repeated frequently in 2015, although other years were not taken into account,
in fact, it is understood that this situation is also accepted by the court. Plaintiff’s frequent
there are reports that he was late for meetings or did not attend by stating that he was going to the doctor.
there were also reports that he did not attend and did not report. Claimant’s most recently received
in his defense, he reported having problems with his supervisor, his psychology deteriorated and his discomfort was caused by

According to these concrete material and legal facts, the claimant attended the meetings late whether he received a report or not.
or not attending, having problems with their supervisor at work, receiving frequent reports and meetings
it is understood that his failure to attend has led to downsides in the workplace. Behavior and yield with cause
termination from a worker’s perspective, which leads to workplace negativity and makes the continuation of the work relationship unbearable
there can be no mention of the principle of last resort. Because the termination is based on valid reasons, the case
acceptance by written justification instead of rejection is wrong.
