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 and salary payments
Social security registration
Tax withholding and reporting
Employee benefits administration
Labor law compliance and 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.

Employment contracts

We prepare locally compliant employment contracts tailored to your needs while respecting Turkish labor legislation. Our contracts clearly define salary, working hours, probation periods, bonus structures, remote work arrangements, confidentiality provisions and termination conditions.

Payroll management

Payroll compliance is one of the most critical aspects of employing staff in Turkey. Umbrella Company Turkey manages monthly payroll calculations, income tax deductions, social security and employer contributions, overtime, bonuses and commissions, expense reimbursements and payroll reporting. Employees receive accurate and timely salary payments every month.

Tax compliance

Turkey applies progressive income tax rates and mandatory social security contributions.

We minimize compliance risks while ensuring all obligations are fulfilled.

Employee benefits administration

We administer mandatory and optional employee benefits, including social security coverage, health insurance programs, meal and transportation allowances, private pension schemes and additional insurance plans. We can also help design competitive benefit packages to attract top talent.

HR support

Our HR team supports both employers and employees throughout the employment lifecycle: onboarding, HR documentation, leave management, maternity and paternity leave administration, disciplinary procedures, employment amendments and offboarding.

Employee termination management

Terminating an employee in Turkey requires strict compliance with local regulations. We assist with notice period management, severance calculations, final payroll preparation, exit documentation, legal compliance reviews and risk mitigation. This protects your company from potential labor disputes and penalties.

Work permit support
