Three articles that unions opposed because they would cause loss of rights were removed from the bag.
The omnibus bill, which includes structuring of public receivables and supports for employment, is expected to become law this week. Of the 30 articles of the accepted proposal, 3 articles that were opposed by the labor unions because they would cause loss of rights were withdrawn from the proposal with the proposals made by the AK Party. The first step towards this has been taken. The previous evening, article 21 regarding flexible working, which provided a 12-month tax exemption for those who switched from full-time to part-time work, was removed from the proposal. Articles 33 and 37 regarding flexible working will be removed from the proposal respectively.
Two articles from the bill, which stipulate the employment of a Presidential Rapporteur and Deputy Presidential Rapporteur in the Presidency of Administrative Affairs to work on matters that fall within the scope of the Presidency and require expertise, were also removed from the bill with the proposals made by the AK Party. Thus, the articles in question were withdrawn for the second time. This regulation was also included in the Public Financial Management and Control Law, which included regulations regarding the transition from performance-based budget to program budget, passed by the Parliament last October. The two articles in question, which were opposed by the opposition, were removed from the proposal because the law had to be enacted before the 2021 Budget was presented to the Parliament. It was included in the bill on employment and restructuring, which is currently being discussed in the Parliament. In the justification of the withdrawal motion regarding the re-withdrawn substances, the explanation was included only for the purpose of ‘re-evaluation of the substance’.
Incentive, support, postponement…
According to the proposal, article 30 of which was accepted at the General Assembly; Public receivables, especially tax and insurance receivables, will be restructured. By the decision of the President, the duration of employer premium support, premium incentive, income tax withholding incentive and stamp duty support can be extended until 31 December 2023, and the duration of short-time working allowance can be extended until 30 June 2021. If those who benefit from unemployment benefits get a job within 90 days following their termination from work and work under an uninterrupted service contract for 12 months, the long-term insurance premiums calculated for the period they benefit from unemployment benefits will be covered by the Unemployment Insurance Fund. The effective date of the Tradesmen Ahilik Fund application is postponed to 31 December 2023. Natural and legal persons who report money, gold, foreign currency, securities and other capital market instruments located abroad to the bank or intermediary institution in Turkey by June 30, 2021, will be able to freely dispose of the assets in question.
