Frequently asked questions
Yes. We manage SGK social security contributions, roughly 20.5% of gross salary for the employer, along with progressive income tax and stamp duty withholding. We also calculate severance pay (kıdem tazminatı), a statutory entitlement based on years of service and subject to a government-set ceiling that is updated periodically, and which is one of the more distinctive features of Turkish employment law.
Given Turkey’s persistently high inflation, salary indexation and frequent review cycles matter more than in most markets, alongside private health insurance, meal cards, and transport allowances. Competitive employers in Turkey often build in scheduled salary reviews rather than annual-only adjustments to remain attractive.
Statutory notice ranges from two to eight weeks depending on tenure, and severance (kıdem tazminatı) is due for most terminations not caused by employee misconduct, calculated as roughly 30 days’ gross salary per year of service up to the current government ceiling. Turkish labor courts scrutinize dismissal grounds closely, so documentation is essential.
An EOR can typically onboard within one to two weeks for SGK registration and contract issuance, compared with the several weeks to a couple of months needed to incorporate a Turkish entity and register with the tax office and social security institution.
Turkey’s severance ceiling calculations and high-inflation salary environment require ongoing local monitoring that’s hard to manage remotely. An EOR takes on that compliance and the associated liability, which is typically the more efficient way to access Turkey’s large and cost-competitive talent pool.
