There are many significant amendments to the 4857 numbered Labor Law, through the 6663 numbered omnibus law dated 10.02.2016: Two new institutions are established for the protection of the woman during maternity; and for her to spend more time on child care and child rearing. One of these amendments is to allow leave without pay for half the weekly employment time of the female worker, and to provide a setting for the other half, where it would be possible for her to earn money, as long as her employment continued. Following a maternity leave, for a female worker, there will be temporary leave without pay, as well as a part time pay from the unemployment insurance funds when certain conditions are met. The second one is that the right to change over from full time work to part time work, after the termination of a leave without pay. In this situation where the employment agreement would change, based on a decision made by the spouse, a woman worker, or her spouse may choose to work part time. If her husband changes over to part time work, then the female worker may continue to work full time. One of the characteristics of the new rights is that the spouses of the male or female workers who adopt a child who is younger than 3 years old, would be able to benefit under these rights. On this paper, the rights mentioned above are examined in detail, and the conditions under which a worker would benefit from the rights of leave without pay, and part time work, duration periods, are identified; and the circumstances under which these rights would terminate, and related legal sanctions are discussed.
