Turkey bans layoffs, offers salary support in earthquake zone
Turkey launched a temporary wage support scheme and banned layoffs in 10 cities on Wednesday to protect workers and businesses from the financial impact of the massive earthquakes that hit the south of the country earlier this month.
The moves are part of the Turkish government's steps to minimise the economic impact of Turkey's worst earthquake in modern history that left tens of thousands dead.
Employers whose workplaces were 'heavily or moderately damaged' would benefit from support to partially cover wages of workers whose hours had been cut, the country's Official Gazette said on Wednesday.
