Notice Compensation in Antalya | Termination Rights and Legal Deadlines

 

According to Turkish Labor Law, both employers and employees must respect notice periods when terminating an employment contract. If a party fails to give proper notice, they must pay notice compensation (ihbar tazminatı). This article explains who is entitled, how it is calculated, and what legal steps can be taken in Antalya.

 

 

What Is Notice Period?

 

The notice period depends on the employee’s length of service:

  • 0–6 months: 2 weeks
  • 6–18 months: 4 weeks
  • 18–36 months: 6 weeks
  • Over 3 years: 8 weeks

 

Either party can terminate the employment contract, but must inform the other party in accordance with these durations or pay compensation in lieu of notice.

 

 

How Is Notice Compensation Calculated?

 

The compensation equals the gross salary for the applicable notice period. It includes base salary, bonuses, food/travel allowances, and other fixed payments. It is paid in one lump sum.

 

 

Legal Options for Employees

 

  • File a labor lawsuit if dismissed without notice
  • Request unpaid notice pay + legal interest
  • Combine claim with severance pay (kıdem tazminatı) if eligible
