Head of Department: Dr. Lecturer Hakan CİNDEMİR
The Department of Labour and Social Security Law contains a structure that examines the nature and legal dimension of employee-employer relations and accordingly is subject to mixed law rules. Accordingly, it is essential to examine employee-employer relations, the right to organise and state intervention, provided that the principle of interpretation in favour of the employee is adhered to, but within the relationship of equality. Since the relevant department has a multidimensional characteristic, it contains a tripartite distinction:
- Individual Labour Law
- Collective Labour Law
- Social Security Law
Individual Labour Law regulates the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees who are employed on the basis of an employment relationship regarding working conditions and working environment. In this context, the emergence of the employment relationship within the scope of the employee-employer relationship, the rules that the parties are subject to during the continuation of the employment relationship, the termination of the employment relationship and the related legal consequences are examined by making use of contemporary developments and norms and by developing the provisions of the existing legislation.
Collective Labour Law is subject to a dual division as Trade Unions Law and Collective Labour Contract Strike Lockout Law. Accordingly, collective labour law primarily examines trade union organisations. Trade union freedoms, trade union membership, trade union guarantees, trade union activities are examined within the scope of national and international norms. The importance and benefits of collective labour agreements, the conclusion and implementation of collective labour agreements, and the resolution of collective labour disputes are the subjects that are subject to evaluation under the title of Collective Labour Contract Strike Lockout Law.
As it can be seen within the framework of all these issues, scientific approaches to the relevant field, in which legal regulations as well as jurisprudence are of great importance, require the evaluation of national and international norms as a whole. As a result, the Department of Labour and Social Security Law refers to a multidimensional process in terms of its impact from the family to the society in general terms, and in its special characteristic, it refers to the whole life of the individual.
