Public Health Insurance

Social security contributions
Employers contribute 16.75%–20.75% of wages, and employees contribute 14%. These contributions cover health, disability, retirement, and unemployment insurance.
We strive to follow every rule to the letter
Worker classification & employment contract
We ensure that our employment contracts are compliant according to Turkish Laws.
Correctly classifying employees and contractors is essential to reduce the risk of fines, legal disputes or reputational damage. We work with the best professionals to ensure that our employment contracts and documentation are compliant.
Anti-discrimination
Turkey prohibits discrimination based on language, race, gender, ethnicity, political opinions, and religion. We comply with these requirements in our employment practices.
Data protection
The Data Protection Law protects employees’ personal information. We incorporate these requirements into our hiring and HR processes.
We stay ahead, so you never fall behind
Bonuses
Bonuses aren’t mandated. They’re discretionary and vary by sector or seniority, more common in industries like tech, media, and engineering, or for roles like directors and senior managers.
Variable Compensation
Much like bonuses, variable compensation such as commissions are not mandated, however they are common in many industries.
Medical Benefits
Some companies offer additional medical benefits and they can be accommodated along with other benefits under our platform.
Your employees get what they’re owed
Annual leaves
Employees who have completed one year of service are entitled to paid annual leave based on tenure: 14 days for one to five years of service, 20 days for more than five years but less than fifteen years, and 26 days for fifteen years or more.
Sick leaves
Employees are entitled to temporary incapacity payments as a proportion of the salary. These are paid by the Social Security Institution (‘SSI’) from the third day of sick leave provided that:
- a ‘rest report’ is granted by medical doctor or health committee authorised by the SSI; and
- a minimum of 90days’ contributions have been paid to SSI within the year before the start-date of the temporary incapacity.
The employer is obliged to pay the employee wages for the first two days of sickness.
Maternity leaves
16 weeks of paid leave (8 before and 8 after birth), extended to 18 weeks for multiple births. Includes the option for six months of unpaid leave afterward and daily breastfeeding breaks.
Letting go is hard; doing it wrong is worse. We know how to do this well and compliantly.
Notice periods
Statutory notice depends on length of service: 2 weeks for less than 6 months, 4 weeks from 6 months to less than18 months, 6 weeks for 18–36 months, and 8 weeks for over 36 months.
Probation periods
Probation can be up to two months, extendable to four months by collective bargaining agreement. During probation, either party may end the contract without notice.
Severance
Employees may be entitled to severance pay based on tenure and contract type, in accordance with local labor laws. Severance compensation only applies to employees with at least one year of seniority.
