Every year on
the 1st of January and the 1st of July the government announces the new wages for
the next coming 6 months.
Structure
minimum salary
The
statutory minimum wage is based on the gross salary for normal working hours,
without overtime. You receive this wage on the agreed payment period, f.e.
weekly, monthly or every 4 weeks. The gross salary may consist of:
- the (basic) salary in your employment contract has been agreed;
- the allowances for performance, shifts, irregular hours, standby duty and working conditions;
- the fixed bonus for the sales you make any payment and you will receive;
- the rewards of third parties caused by the work.
The total
of these amounts shall not be less than the minimum wage.
Pay slip
To avoid problems
in the future with the tax authorities, es we recommend to pay the wages
exactly as mentioned on the pay slip. If you pay in cash, let your staff monthly
sign the pay slip (your accountant will create the slip monthly).
Apartments staff
The
legislation distinguishes apartments staff. There are more than 200,000 people
who are registered as apartment staff (kapıcı). The government has made an
exception for this group allowing an exemption from income tax (gelir vergisi)
and withholding tax (withholding tax). The exemption creates a higher net
income. The total cost to the employer will remain the same.
