Employment Law

Employment relationships involve contractual terms, remuneration, working time, leave, occupational health and safety, termination and social security obligations. The actual conduct of the relationship, payroll and bank records, correspondence, workplace practice and statutory deadlines are central to any assessment. The firm advises employees and employers before disputes arise and represents them in mandatory mediation, litigation and enforcement proceedings.

Foreign Businesses and Employees

For foreign-invested businesses employing personnel in Türkiye, Turkish employment law, social security, work permits and workplace practice should be considered together. Policies of a foreign parent company do not automatically apply in Türkiye; local contracts and procedures should be aligned with Turkish law.

Employment claims are subject to limitation periods, mandatory mediation and, in some cases, short deadlines linked to the termination date. Documents should therefore be reviewed promptly.
