Employer of Record FAQs in Turkey
What is an Employer of Record in Turkey?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Turkey is a legal entity that employs workers on behalf of your company, handling all employment-related responsibilities including contracts, payroll, tax compliance, social security registration, and statutory obligations. This allows you to hire Turkish employees without establishing your own legal entity while maintaining full operational control over their daily work.
How quickly can I start hiring in Turkey with an EOR?
Asanify’s EOR enables you to onboard employees in Turkey within days. Once you select your candidate, we prepare compliant employment contracts, complete SGK registration, handle all regulatory filings, and enable your new hire to begin working immediately—bypassing the months-long process of entity formation and commercial registration.
What are the employment costs in Turkey?
Employment costs include employee salaries plus mandatory employer contributions totaling approximately 34.5% of gross salary for social security (SGK), covering health insurance, retirement, unemployment, and occupational risk insurance. Employees contribute approximately 14% of gross salary. Our transparent pricing includes all statutory costs with no hidden fees.
What statutory benefits must be provided to employees in Turkey?
Turkish law mandates numerous benefits including minimum annual leave (14-26 days based on tenure), paid public holidays, severance pay (one month’s salary per year of service for qualifying terminations), notice pay, meal and transportation allowances where applicable, and comprehensive social security coverage. Asanify ensures full compliance with all benefit requirements.
How does severance pay work in Turkey?
Employees with at least one year of service are entitled to severance pay (kıdem tazminatı) equal to one month’s salary for each year worked, subject to an annual ceiling. Severance applies to terminations by the employer, retirement, military service, and certain other circumstances. Our EOR calculates and manages severance obligations accurately.
What are working hour regulations in Turkey?
The standard working week in Turkey is 45 hours, typically distributed as 9 hours per day over 5 days or 7.5 hours over 6 days. Overtime work beyond these limits requires employee consent and must be compensated at 1.5x regular rate (with limits on total overtime hours). Asanify ensures all employment arrangements comply with working time legislation.
How does income tax work in Turkey?
Turkish income tax uses progressive rates from 15% to 40% based on income brackets. Employers must withhold income tax from employee salaries and remit to the tax office monthly. Asanify handles all tax calculations, withholdings, and filings, ensuring compliance with Turkish Revenue Administration requirements and providing employees with required tax documentation.
What is the process for terminating an employee in Turkey?
Termination in Turkey requires valid cause and adherence to notice periods (2-8 weeks based on tenure). Severance pay and notice pay are required in many circumstances. Turkey’s labour courts actively protect employee rights, making compliant termination procedures critical. Asanify manages the entire process, ensuring legal compliance and proper documentation.
