Employment regulations
As an employer David asks;
“Hello Sadettin Bey
Greetings from Gocek .
I have been following your columns in Hurriyet Daily News for some time – they always prove interesting and informative. To introduce myself, my name is David Robertson and I am the manager of the Turkey branch of a yacht sales company called Sunbird International Yacht Sales, head office in the UK with another branch in Spain.
We have been working in Turkey since 2000, with offices in Gocek and Marmaris. We employ a limited number of staff (4 to be precise ), 2 of whom are foreigners (Christine and Peter).
I read with dismay recently that in future we will need to employ 5 Turkish nationals for every 1 foreign worker. We cannot afford to do this, nor can I afford to lose my 2 foreign workers.
Both of the people in question have been working for / with me for over 8 years. Both have been in Turkey for a great many years (15 or 20) and both are settled here.
As we should renew Christine’s work and residency permit in March, and Peter’s in November I would be keen to learn if these new employment laws will only affect new business’ in which case we will apply as usual or will the new law affect every business , no matter how large or small, recently opened or long term, in which case I will need to decide how best to proceed given the fact that we are a small business and very much rely on these two members of staff.
I would be grateful to hear your thoughts on the above and maybe get some ideas about where we stand for the future. A Happy New Year to you and yours. David.”
Dear David, you’re talking about a regulation which discussed in 2010. However, this draft regulation is not enacted yet. Your worries are right but I do not think it would take to implement.
Turkish citizenship with birth…
The Turkish citizenship is the most questionable topic for foreigners. A reader also asks about it.
“Selam aleykum,
I found your website by accident and I have been looking for an answer for my question. I hope you can help me with it.
I am un-Turkish woman married with Turkish man and now I am pregnant. I heard that once I give birth to our baby I will grant Turkish citizenship at once, but I searched on the internet and I couldn’t find the answer. Making that my Turkish is good because I study Turkish literature in my country. Thanks & Regards, Mrs. Literature.”
‘Aleykum selam’ dear Mrs. Literature. If your husband is a Turkish citizen and your marriage has completed three years, you can apply to Turkish citizenship. There is no need to the birth for obtaining to Turkish citizenship.
