Turkey : Remember, these employees made the automotive locomotive! – Sözcü Newspaper

We are going through really hard days. Perhaps one of the biggest outbreaks in human history has found us, and developments are progressing uncertainly with great concern.

Everyone is afraid, not every company knows what to do, but on the other hand, we have to keep the precaution and consider the next. In recent days, every company has put into practice different practices not only for the automotive industry but also for all company employees in all sectors.

TWO DIFFERENT PERMITS

We hear that some of the companies that mainly send their white-collar employees to work from home turn this process into an opportunity and try to melt the accumulated legal annual leaves of the employees.

In this practice, which is made with the decision of the company, not with the demand of the person working from home, the person who is considered to be on leave also continues to work for the company even if he is from home, if he answers his e-mails and phones and continues to do his job, at this point an injustice is made against the employee.

Another example is the subject of free leave. We observe that some companies leave their employees for unpaid leave, which should be examined in terms of labor law.

Because it is necessary to look at how long the conditions for sending compulsory unpaid leave occur. Although the chances of the employees to object to these practices in today’s environment seem low, they may have the right to sue against these unfair practices when they leave the job tomorrow.

At this point, I am sorry to hear that similar applications are made at dealer levels in automotive.

WORKING WITH THE RISK

Dealers can apply for such applications considering the risk of virus in an environment where sales are so low. It is even said that some dealers make plans to send all their employees to their homes with free leave if curfews occur.

Today, the personnel working alternately with the sentry system in dealerships, “At least this is how we continue to work, if the dealership is completely closed, we will either be fired or sent for free leave.

Then we will have no choice but to wait at home without any income. How we will meet our needs, how we will make our payments ” They have justified concerns.

In addition, we are happy to observe that some of the dealers’ management support their employees until these difficult times pass and plan how they can own them.

The uncertainty of the process worries all large and small businesses and staff. I hope this uncertain process will not take long, and there will be no need for such radical practices.

It should not be forgotten that if the automotive industry is the engine of the economy today, it owes it to its skilled employees in every field.

Short working wage is actually unemployment pay

Another important issue for the automotive industry is short-time working allowance. In fact, when we look at this important support, it seems as if it creates some victimization for the employee.

Because the days when the employee benefiting from the short-time work allowance is less, naturally, the SGK days are deducted. Secondly, the person who receives 60 percent of his 3-month salary with a short work allowance actually uses this difference from unemployment insurance.

In other words, if he is unemployed in the future, this wage will be deducted from his unemployment benefit. In addition, he has to take the short working fee from PTT every month.

Although officials started to distribute door to door recently, this detail is also important.

M. Şahsuvaroğlu

If necessary, we must sell and own our jacket.

Automotive Authorized Dealers Association (OYDER) President Murat Şahsuvaroğlu, Stating that legal personality in Turkey and 970 664 pieces found around the plaza, including 70 thousand of direct automotive dealership employs 100 thousand people stated that meat.

Emphasizing that this employment should be protected Şahsuvaroğlu, “For us, the most important value of our balance sheet is our colleagues, where we grow our bread together and divide our bread together.

If necessary, we need to sell our jacket, sell the car underneath and protect our colleagues. ” said.

Alper Kanca

Must triple the gross minimum wage

200 The Association of Vehicle Supply Manufacturers (TAYSAD), representing 460 companies that create over a thousand jobs Alper Kanca, Stating that the short-time working allowance should not be limited to 3 months, “Currently, 75 percent of our member companies have applied for this allowance.

But even if the effect of the corona virus ends in 3 months, we predict that its effects will last at least 1 year. So it must be extended. In addition, short-term work allowance is not sufficient for white collar employees.

For this reason, it would be correct to increase the gross minimum wage by 3 times not net 1.5 ”. On the other hand, 65 percent of TAYSAD members estimate that the effects of the outbreak will last 8-10 weeks or more.
