Employer of Record Turkey

At Umbrella Company Turkey, we provide a complete Employer of Record (EOR) solution that allows foreign companies to hire employees in Turkey legally, quickly, and compliantly—without the need to establish a local subsidiary or legal entity.

Expanding into Turkey offers exciting opportunities for international businesses. With its strategic location between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, a highly skilled workforce, and competitive labor costs, Turkey has become a preferred destination for companies looking to grow internationally.

However, hiring employees in Turkey can be complex for foreign employers. Local labor laws, payroll regulations, social security obligations, tax compliance, and employment contracts all require local expertise and ongoing administration.

What is an Employer of Record in Turkey?

An Employer of Record (EOR) is a local company that legally employs workers on behalf of a foreign organization.

While your company manages the employee’s daily work, objectives, and performance, Umbrella Company Turkey becomes the official employer for legal and administrative purposes.

As your Employer of Record in Turkey, we handle:

• Employment contracts
• Payroll processing
• Salary payments
• Social security registration
• Tax withholding and reporting
• Employee benefits administration
• Labor law compliance
• HR administration
• Work permit support for foreign employees

This allows you to focus entirely on growing your business while we manage all local employment obligations.
