Özet:

 One of the elements of an employment contract is the wage paid to the worker. Indeed, wages constitute an amount paid to the worker as compensation for their work, which, in most cases, supports the worker and their familys livelihood. In this regard, wages carry significant importance for the worker and their family. Due to this importance, our legal regulations have tied wages to various protections. For instance, restrictions are foreseen regarding the seizure, transfer, and offsetting of wages. Furthermore, in case of delays in wage payments, under certain conditions, workers are granted the right to refrain from work. This study aims to examine another protection provided in our laws concerning wages, namely the provision allowing for rightful termination for the employee in case of untimely payment of wages, within the framework of a Court of Cassation decision. The condition stipulated in the law for the right to refrain from work  that the wage has not been paid for at least 20 days  has indirectly been considered as a factor for rightful termination in the local court and regional appellate court decisions related to the subject decision. Additionally, the application of the criterion of abuse of right concerning the rightful termination of the employment contract by the employee due to non-payment of wages will also be discussed.

 İş sözleşmesinin unsurlarından biri işçiye ödenen ücrettir. Zira, ücret işçinin çalışmasının karşılığı olarak kendisine ödenen bir tutar olup, işçi kendisinin ve ailesinin geçimini çoğu durumda ücreti ile sağlamaktadır. Bu yönüyle ücret işçi ve ailesi açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu öneminden ötürü yasal düzenlemelerimizde ücret çeşitli güvencelere bağlanmıştır. Örneğin, ücretin haczi, devri ve takası konusunda sınırlamalar öngörülmektedir. Yine, ücretin ödenmesinde gecikme yaşanması durumunda belirli koşulların gerçekleşmesine bağlı olarak işçilere çalışmaktan kaçınma hakkı tanınmıştır. Bu çalışmada, ücret için yasalarımızda yer alan başka bir güvence, ücretin zamanında ödenmemesi durumunda işçiye haklı fesih olanağı tanıyan düzenleme, bir Yargıtay kararı çerçevesinde incelenmeye çalışılacaktır. İnceleme konusu karara ilişkin yerel mahkeme ve bölge adliye mahkemesi kararlarında çalışmaktan kaçınma hakkı için kanunda aranan bir koşul olan ücretin en az 20 gündür ödenmemiş olması koşulu, dolaylı bir şekilde de olsa haklı fesih için de bir unsur olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Ayrıca, ücretin ödenmemesi nedeniyle işçinin iş sözleşmesini haklı nedenle feshi bakımından hakkın kötüye kullanımı ölçütünün uygulanmasına da değinilecektir.
