SGK expert İsa Karakaş clarified overtime pay for private sector employees following the Eid al-Adha holiday, which has been extended to 9 days for public institutions. The rates at which workers employed during the holiday will receive additional pay have been determined. Wage rates applicable to private sector enterprises have been presented to the public in detail.
Private sector workers who are required to work during Eid al-Adha are entitled to receive overtime pay at statutory rates in addition to their regular wages. Employers are obliged to make these payments in full and on time; workers unaware of their rights can apply to the Social Security Institution and the Ministry of Labor.
Workers in sectors such as retail, healthcare and security who work during the holiday break should be aware that they will receive additional pay as a legal right; if the employer fails to make payment, you can claim it from official institutions. While public institutions apply a 9-day holiday, clarifying the wage rights of approximately 5 million people working in the private sector matters for your pocket.
