A revolutionary change will be implemented for civil servants. Civil servant mothers and fathers will be able to work part-time until their children start primary school. To implement this right stated in the law, the government is preparing a new regulation under the "Family Year" initiative. According to NTV's news; under the Family Year, the government is preparing to activate the part-time working right that was added to the Civil Servants Law in November 2016 and has not been applied for eight years.
VALID FOR BOTH FEMALE AND MALE CIVIL SERVANTS
According to the draft, either the mother or the father will be able to benefit from the part-time working right after childbirth or adoption. Parents will not be able to benefit from this right simultaneously. In other words, either the mother or the father will be able to work part-time until their children start primary school. Civil servants who wish to work part-time must submit a written request to the institution at least one month in advance. Additionally, part-time working mothers will not be granted milk leave.
WORKING 20 HOURS A WEEK WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR CIVIL SERVANTS
The weekly working time for civil servants is 40 hours. In part-time work, there is a requirement to complete 20 hours. In this context, it will be possible to work full-time on certain days of the week and at least three days. In the other option, work will be done for at least three hours on five days of the week.
THE SAME RIGHT CAN BE USED FOR EACH CHILD
Different conditions will apply for adoptive parents. It will be possible to benefit from this right separately for each child. While this regulation, which has the potential to transform working life, is opened for consultation, the final version will be provided by the Ministry of Family and Social Services.
