Navigating Turkish labor and employment law can be one of the most challenging aspects of doing business in Turkey. Unlike many jurisdictions, employment is highly regulated and employee protections are extensive. For foreign firms, this often means unfamiliar rules, strict compliance requirements, and significant risks if procedures are not followed correctly.
