Hasipoğlu: There is a discrepancy between the K-PET Board of Directors’ decision and layoff procedures
Hasipoğlu announced that they will not accept the notification until the discrepancy in question is resolved.
In a written statement, Minister Hasipoğlu stated that the company’s written notification to the Labour Department was evaluated by the Ministry.
Referring to the meeting held by the Ministry with the parties yesterday, Hasipoğlu noted that the employer rejected the opinion that nine employees be assigned duties deemed appropriate by the employer and that the work regulations be amended.
Hasipoğlu stated that upon this, they evaluated the layoff notification by also taking into consideration the Ministry of Finance’s letter dated October 8.
“THE COMPANY IS A PARTNERSHIP OF TWO PRIVATE PARTNERS AND THE DEVELOPMENT FUND”
Drawing attention to the fact that the company consists of a partnership between two private partners and the Development Fund affiliated with the Ministry of Finance, Hasipoğlu announced that they assessed a discrepancy regarding the manner in which the decision was made and implemented between the board of directors’ decision cited as the basis for the collective layoff notification and the procedures initiated for the layoffs.
Hasipoğlu noted that the procedures carried out contrary to the decision taken unanimously by the board of directors must be clarified in terms of the scope of the decision and the will of the company’s authorized bodies.
“Our Ministry will not accept the collective layoff notification for the 9 employees as a duly made notification until the discrepancy between the current decision and documents is resolved,” Hasipoğlu said, stating that the Ministry will continue to monitor the process within the framework of legislation and protect the legal rights of the employees.
Hasipoğlu used the expressions, “It is unacceptable for any employer to carry out collective layoff procedures outside the scope of decisions taken by the company’s authorized bodies or contrary to the procedures stipulated in the legislation.”
