Özet:

 There are various regulations on the protection of employee worker in the situation of transfer of workplace or business in Turkish legislation. First, Article 202 of Turkish Code of Obligations TCO dated 2011, provides this issue in general. Furthermore Articles 428 and 429 regulate the conveyance of workplace and employment contracts. Article 6 of the Employment Act EA 2003, which provides the conveyance of workplace partly or fully, is based on the European Union EU Directive no. 200123EC relating to the safeguarding of employees rights in the situation of transfers of undertakings, businesses or parts of undertakings or businesses also named as Acquired Rights Directive. Finally, Article 178 of Turkish Commercial Code TCC 2011 regulates the transfer of employment relationships in the case of organizational changes of companies such as merger, division and conversion restructure of companies. Among these three Acts, the provisions relating to the transfer of workplace or business are partly in compliance with each other. On the other hand, in English law, the status of the employees in the transfer of business is laid down in revised the Transfer of Undertakings- Protection of Employment TUPE Regulations 2006. TUPE Regulations are also based on the EU Directive 200123EC. There are similarities between Turkish and English legislations concerning the rights of the employees. These similarities and differences are examined in this article. Consequently, some arguments are proposed.

 İşyerinin İngilizcede genellikle business yani işletme veya iş kavramı bu anlamda kullanılmaktadır devri durumunda işçinin korunması konusunda Türk mevzuatında çeşitli düzenlemeler mevcuttur. İlk olarak 2011 tarihli 6098 sayılı Türk Borçlar Kanunu TBK m.202 genel olarak işletmenin devrini düzenlemiştir. TBK m.428 ve 429 hükümleri de işyerinin ve hizmet sözleşmesinin devrini ve işçilerin haklarını düzenlemiştir. Öte yandan 2003 tarihli, 4857 sayılı İş Kanununun işyerinin veya bir bölümünün devrini düzenlenen 6. maddesi, ABnin 200123EC sayılı İşyerinin Devri Durumunda İşçi Haklarının Korunması Kazanılmış Haklar Yönergesi: Acquired Rights Directive olarak da geçmektedir Yönergesi esas alınarak hazırlanmıştır. Son olarak 2011 tarih ve 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanununun TTK 178. maddesi birleşme, bölünme ve tür değiştirme gibi yapısal değişikliklerde iş ilişkilerinin geçmesini düzenlemiştir. Üç farklı Kanundaki bu düzenlemeler kendi içinde kısmen uyumludur. Öte yandan İngiliz hukuk sisteminde, işyerinin devri halinde işçinin statüsü ilkin 1981 tarihli TUPE The Transfer of Undertakings- Protection of Employment: Yükümlülüklerin Devri- İşin Korunmasına Dair Düzenlemeler ile ele alınmıştır. Türk hukukundaki düzenlemeler ile İngiliz TUPE düzenlemeleri benzeş olmakla birlikte farklılıklar da mevcuttur. Çalışmada sayılan tüm düzenlemeler incelenmiş, karşılaştırma yapılmış, bazı sonuçlara ulaşılmış ve önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
