Is Kanunu’nun 24. maddesinin I. fikrasinin b bendine göre, “Isçinin sürekli olarak yakindan ve dogrudan bulusup görüstügü isveren yahut baska bir isçi bulasici veya isçinin isi ile bagdasmayan bir hastaliga tutulursa” isçi is sözlesmesini hakli nedenle derhal feshedebilir. Madde 24/I-b bendinde belirtilen is sözlesmesinin feshine yol açabilecek hastaligin isçinin “sürekli olarak yakindan ve dogrudan bulusup görüstügü isveren yahut baska bir isçide” gerçeklesmesi gerekir. Hepatit B hastaligindan korunmak için tüm dünyada güvenle ve büyük basariyla kullanilan hepatit B asilari vardir. Hepatit B asisi ile asilanmis ve kaninda yeterli koruyucu antikor olusmus kisilere hepatit B mikrobu bulassa bile aktif hastalik gelismemekte ve kisideki hafiza hücreleri nedeniyle kanindaki koruyucu madde düzeyi daha da yükselerek kisi hasta olmaktan korunmaktadir. Yargitay 9. HD’nin 29.09.2014 tarihli bozma ilaminda isabetli olarak belirtildigi gibi, isçilerin hepatit B asisi yaptirmasi halinde, isyerinde çalisan baska bir isçiden (hemsireden) hepatit B hastaligi bulasma ihtimali bulunmamakta olup, bu durumda baska isçideki bulasici hastalik diger isçiler açisindan hakli fesih nedeni olusturmamaktadir.

THE IMMEDIATE TERMINATION RIGHT OF THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES DUE TO AN EMPLOYEE’S CATCHING HEPATITIS-B WHO IS WORKING IN THE WORKPLACE


Abstract

According to the Article 24/I-b of Labour Law; if the employer or another employee who is constantly near the employee and with whom he is in direct contact is suffering from an infecting disease or from a disease incompatible with the performance of his duties, the employee is entitled to terminate the employment contract. The disease which can cause the termination as indicated in the Article 24/I-b should be “in the employer or another employee who is constantly near the employee and with whom he is in direct contact.” There are Hepatitis B vaccines that are safely used in the world with great success for being protected from the Hepatitis B disease. Even if the persons who are vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccines and in whose blood protective antibodies are adequately formed are infected with Hepatitis B, the active disease is not developed and the person is protected from the illness because of the memory cells of the person; which are increasing the protective antibodies in his blood. As it is indicated rightfully in the Supreme Court’s verdict of 29 September 2014; in the case of being vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine; there is no possibility to be infected by Hepatitis B from another employee (namely from the nurse). So this situation does not constitute a justified reason for the other employees.
