Turkish labor law and severance pay regulations
Overview
Legal experts and regulations in Turkey outline specific requirements for employment termination and the protection of severance pay under Labor Law No. 4857.
Regarding termination for just cause, specialists emphasize strict legal deadlines. Employers must exercise the right to terminate within six business days of discovering an incident, and no termination for just cause can occur more than one year after the incident actually happened. Failure to meet these thresholds may result in terminations being deemed ‘unjust.’
To protect their rights, employees are advised to obtain written termination notices and monitor Social Security Institution (SGK) records to ensure employers do not use unfavorable exit codes. While standard resignations typically disqualify workers from severance, rights are preserved in specific circumstances such as unpaid wages, health issues, military service, marriage, or retirement. Additionally, workers with at least one year of service may claim severance through justified termination if they face workplace harassment, threats, or wage discrepancies.
