Employment Termination
"What are the rules for terminating employment in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Termination requires valid reason for companies with 30+ employees. Notice periods range from 2-8 weeks. Wrongful termination results in reinstatement or compensation.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Dismissal, resignation, justified immediate termination and mutual agreement have different consequences. An SGK code reports the stated ground but does not finally determine entitlement.
What to Check in Practice
Review service, the written notice, reason, evidence and payroll; assess severance, notice, unused leave and unemployment eligibility separately.
