Summary about Labour Law
Labour and social security law regulates employment relationships between workers and employers, the rights and obligations of the parties, contract processes and methods of resolving disputes. At Büyük Law Office, we follow legal processes in establishment of employment contracts, termination, reinstatement, severance and notice compensation and disputes arising from occupational accidents under the Labour Law (Law No. 4857) and related legislation.

Frequently asked questions
How does the reinstatement process work?
A reinstatement claim begins with mandatory mediation as a condition of action. If no agreement is reached in mediation, suit must be filed in Labour Courts within the period from the final report. If reinstatement is granted, the employer must reinstate the worker within the statutory period; otherwise compensation provisions apply.
What are the legal conditions for entitlement to severance pay?
For severance pay, the worker must have worked continuously for the same employer for at least one full year and the contract must end under one of the valid or justified termination grounds in law. Actual working days and statutory leave are taken into account in calculating periods.
Which documents are evidence in termination proceedings?
Employment contracts, signed payslips, termination notices, witness statements if any, and correspondence between the parties are evaluated as evidence in determining whether termination was justified or unjustified.
