Why use an EOR Company in Turkey?
Using an EOR Company in Turkey lets international employers start operations quickly. You avoid immediate registration of a Turkish subsidiary, which saves time and lowers upfront costs. An EOR provider acts as the legal employer and handles contracts, payroll, and mandatory contributions while you control day-to-day work and performance.
Legal and tax essentials for an EOR Company in Turkey
Turkey has specific employment laws, social security rules, and tax regulations. An EOR Company in Turkey must register employees with the Social Security Institution (SGK) and withhold income tax correctly. Proper classification of employees vs contractors is also critical to avoid penalties.
Key registrations and filings
Employers must ensure monthly SGK contributions, income tax withholding, and the correct reporting of payroll benefits. The EOR manages all statutory filings and keeps records to meet audits and inspections.
Tax withholding and employer costs
Employer contributions include social security and severance liabilities depending on contract terms. An EOR Company in Turkey calculates total employer cost including gross salary, employer SGK, and other statutory charges.
Hiring and onboarding with an EOR Company in Turkey
Recruiting through an EOR Company in Turkey simplifies contract creation and local labor code compliance. The EOR issues employment contracts that meet Turkish minimum standards, probation rules, and termination notice periods.
Onboarding process
Onboarding handled by an EOR typically covers contract signing, registration with authorities, payroll setup, and benefits enrollment. This reduces administrative load for your managers and speeds time-to-productivity for new hires.
Local benefits and statutory entitlements
Employees in Turkey are entitled to paid annual leave, sick leave, social security coverage, and other protections. A good EOR Company in Turkey will administer these benefits accurately and communicate entitlements to employees in English and Turkish if needed.
Payroll and benefits management by an EOR Company in Turkey
Accurate payroll is a core function of an EOR. This includes gross-to-net calculations, statutory deductions, and timely salary payments. The EOR pays employer contributions and issues pay slips in compliance with local laws.
Frequency and currency
Salaries in Turkey are typically paid monthly and in local currency (TRY). An EOR Company in Turkey can offer guidance on reasonable compensation practices and convert payments to local currency where required.
Benefits administration
Beyond statutory benefits, many employers offer private health insurance, pension top-ups, or flexible allowances. An EOR can administer additional benefits and include them in monthly payroll reconciliations.
Risks, compliance, and data protection
Compliance risk arises from misclassification of workers, late payments to social security, or incorrect tax withholding. An EOR Company in Turkey must stay current with employment law updates and ensure data protection for employee records under Turkish and applicable international rules.
Compliance note: Always confirm that the EOR you choose maintains accurate SGK filings and payroll records. Local law changes can affect payroll and taxes, and your EOR must adapt promptly.

Choosing the right EOR Company in Turkey: checklist

Questions to ask potential providers
