Under the Omnibus Law No. 6645 in 2015, new types of paid leave are provided. An employee whose spouse has given birth to a child is entitled to five days of paid leave. There is also an option of three days' paid leave in the case of a adoption of a child for adoptive employees.  The Civil Servants Code (No. 657) contrastingly grants a 10-day period of paid leave for male civil servants whose spouses have given birth.

Parental leave is provided under the Labour Law 2003. On the request of a female employee, an unpaid leave for 6 month maybe granted after the expiration of the maternity leave. However, this period is not considered in determining the employee's year of service for entitlement to a paid annual leave.

Employed parents whose child has at least 70% disability or chronic disease based on a medical report, are allowed to take up to 10 days' paid leave in a year for attending the treatment of the child on condition that leave may be taken only by one of the parents and without interruption.

Küçük Çocukları ve Diğer Aile Sorumlulukları Olan İşçiler için Esnek Çalışma Seçeneği

Female employees who have recently given birth to a child cannot be forced to work more than 7.5 hours a day. Similarly, these workers cannot be employed for overtime and even night work (during the six months after the birth of a child). This period may be extended by a doctor's certificate.

Once the maternity/adoption leave finishes, either parent may claim to work part-time until the start of child’s compulsory schooling. Working part-time in this way cannot constitute a just cause for terminating the employment contract. Such employees may switch to full time work provided that they cannot benefit from this right again for the same child.

Employee wishing to benefit from this right or wanting to switch to full time work must notify the employer in writing at least one month before.

(Regulations made under Art. 63 & 88 of Labour Law 2003)
