Disciplinary Issues for Staff

The SFL employs both Turkish and foreign instructors, for whom the recruiting and disciplinary procedures differ in many ways. With respect to disciplinary issues, the SFL is bound to the regulations of Turkish national law. For cases involving criminal allegations, violations of the law, or neglect to complete work responsibilities by an SFL employee, the following provisions will be applied:

Preliminary Investigation

A preliminary investigation is carried out by a commission composed of at least three members. The commission members investigating the case must be of equal or higher rank than the person under investigation. The commission decides whether a final investigation should be conducted.

Investigation

If the preliminary investigation suggests that there has been a violation of law or work procedures, an investigation process begins.

Decision

If necessary, the committee decides on appropriate disciplinary action including penalties such as a warning, reprimand, administrative fine, or dismissal.
