Obligation Of Employing Disabled Personnel in Turkey

With a view to support the participation of disabled people in the labour market, Turkish law requires that employers employing ifty or more people in one workplace must hire a certain number of disabled personnel. Accordingly, the number of disabled employees to be hired under this framework should be equal to 3 % of the total employees hired by the employer in a given city. The law also requires that an administrative ine shall be imposed on the employer or the representative of the employer, who is in breach of these rules. Such ine is calculated for each disabled employee that the employer has failed to employ per month.
