Those who do not meet this condition will continue to benefit from the short-time working allowance for the period remaining from the last unemployment benefit entitlement, without exceeding the time for short-time working period.

In order to benefit from the short-term working practice within the scope of this article, the employer should not dismiss employees, except for the reasons set out in the first clause (II) of the 25th article of the Law no. 4587.
