PAID LEAVES
Annual Paid Leaves
The basic principle in the use of leave is to ensure that academic staff members take the leave they deserve, as much as possible, within the relevant year and mostly during the academic breaks, without hindering the work flow.
In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Law, for the academic staff who have completed 1 working year at the University, including the probationary period;
- 14 working days for those who have completed 1-5 years (including 5 years),
- 20 working days for those who have completed 6-15 years,
- Those who are 16 years or more are given 26 working days of annual paid leave.
Since Saturday is considered a working day according to the Labor Law, Saturday is also included in the calculation of the above-mentioned periods.
The academic staff who will request annual leave creates the "Annual Leave Form" on the system at the latest 1 week before, submits it to the approval of the relevant faculty dean, and sends it to the faculty secretary after the approval process is completed. The permission form is sent to the Human Resources Department by the faculty secretary.
Summoning from Annual Paid Leave
The relevant senior manager may call the academic staff member on leave when necessary. If the employee is in a place other than his/her place of duty, the return fee is paid by the University.

If the staff cannot come to work for a period of 1 week to 3 months due to illness or injury, long-term sick leave is applied. In case of illness, 1 day of administrative leave is taken by notifying the relevant dean or department head/director. For diseases lasting longer than two days, it is necessary to obtain an incapacity certificate from state hospitals or private hospitals. The relevant dean or department head/director may request that the report received from the private hospital be approved by the public hospital or doctor. Reports and medical documents received in case of short or long-term illness must be submitted to the University within 3 working days from the end date of the report. In case of short-term illness, if a report is not submitted to the University within 3 working days, the days when the personnel does not come to work are considered as unpaid leave. In case of long-term illness, failure to obtain the required report and medical documents may be grounds for termination. Academic personnel who receive a certificate of incapacity for work are not paid for the days they cannot come to work, the academic staff receives temporary incapacity allowance from SGK for the relevant dates.

However, with the doctor's approval, if the health condition is appropriate, the staff may continue to work up to three weeks before the birth. In this case, the hours worked are added to the postpartum times. The foreseen periods can be increased with a doctor's report, if necessary, depending on the health status of the personnel. During pregnancy, academic staff are given paid leave for periodic check-ups. A person can take unpaid leave for up to six months following maternity leave. During the maternity leave, the personnel receives temporary incapacity allowance from SGK.
