THIS POLICY IS APPLIED FOR ALL UNITS IN THE EVENT THAT THERE ARE EPIDEMIC CASES WITHIN OUR BUSINESS REGION.
Company’s Conditions for Continuance of Business
- Our priority is our employees’ health during an epidemic. During this period, any action that would put our employees’ health at risk will be avoided.
- The warnings of government agencies are considered while creating the company’s work plan. All measures will be taken to continue our production.
- If the epidemic affects only the region where our company is located, alternative production areas will be searched and our customers, suppliers and employees will be informed.
- In order to fulfil our commitments to our customers during the epidemic, potential supply chain effects will be closely monitored by us and the necessary precautions will be taken by constantly communicating with our suppliers.
- Our customers, suppliers and employees will be immediately informed of any developments.
Precautions to be Taken in the Company
- The information prepared by the government agencies about the disease are carefully followed, and the prepared documents are placed in public areas and other areas where they can be seen.
- Employees are informed of the rules to be followed about the disease both at work and in their private lives with the support of the workplace doctor and government agencies.
- Protective clothing and consumables that will prevent the transmission of the disease, which are required by the government agencies, are distributed to the employees by the workplace.
Cleaning of Work Environment
- All areas inside the workplace are periodically disinfected in accordance with the procedures recommended by government agencies.
- Disposable wipes are provided so that frequently used surfaces (e.g. door handles, keyboards, remote controls, tables) can be wiped by employees before each use.
Travel Rules
- Domestic and international business travels of our employees are cancelled.
- Visits, meetings and trainings to be held in our company are cancelled. Meetings are made using other communication tools.
- Employees are warned to plan their own private travels and of their immediate surroundings considering the warnings of government agencies.
Encouraging Sick Employees to Stay at Home
- Our sick leave policies are regulated as suggested by the Ministry of Health. In addition, flexible leave-takings approved by the senior management are shared with the employees.
- Service provider companies are consulted about the importance of sick employees staying at home and encouraged to develop non-punitive leave policies.
- Sick employees will not need to consult the workplace doctor for official approval in case of any suspicion.
- Our policies allow employees to stay home to take care of a sick family member. Employers are aware that they may need to stay home to provide more care than usual to sick children or other sick family members.
Isolation of Sick Employees
- Employees who display symptoms of the disease after coming to work or during the day are separated from other employees and immediately sent to the nearest health institution. The case is reported to the relevant government agencies as soon as possible.
- The medical condition of the isolated sick employee is closely monitored with government agencies. After the confirmation of government agencies, the employee starts working again.
