Merhaba! I am Shun Yoshida from Tokyo Consulting Firm Turkey Office.
I shared about “Health Insurance for Ikamet Application” last week.
For the next 2 weeks I would like to mention regarding “Points to Note regarding Fixed-term Employment Contract”.
In Turkey, it is possible for employers to make a fixed-term (definite) employment contract with their employees, though, there are a few different rules and conditions which the employers need to be aware of. As a premise, an indefinite employment contract is a basis in this country and it is not allowed to change the employees one after another by a repeat of short fixed-term contracts without careful consideration.
目次
①Necessity of Clear Reason
As the first point to be noted, a clear reason will be required so as to make a fixed-term employment contract with the employees. In other words, it is not permitted to engage the employees in work under the fixed-term employment contract unless there is a clear reason. Completion of a certain work or a certain event with the specific due can be examples of the clear reason to make a fixed-term employment contract.
②Probation Period
With regard to the probation period (trial period), same rules are set forth regardless of the types of employment contracts. Duration of probation period cannot exceed more than 2 months. (On the other hand, it may be able to be extended up to 4 months if there are collective labor agreements.) Within the probation period both parties (the employer & the employee) are free to terminate the employment contract and it is unnecessary to provide the advance notice and to pay compensation.
③Renewal & Transfer of the Contract
In Turkey, only one time of contract renewal for the fixed-term employment is permitted without the case there is an essential reason which may necessitate repeated contracts. The reason needs to be clearly explained to the employee in case of contract renewal and the employer needs to either prepare the new employment contract or attach it to the original contract. Otherwise, the contract is regarded as an indefinite contract from the very beginning as mentioned in the Article 11 of Turkish Labor Law 4857.
That is all for this week. I will talk the remaining points next week.
We offer free meeting (online/offline) regarding establishment and business development in Turkey.
If you have any question other than the above, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you very much for your time read until the end.
