Are employees statutorily protected in the event of a business transfer or service provision change?

Yes, all employees are statutorily protected in the event of a business transfer pursuant to the Turkish Labour Code No. 4857. Additionally both the Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098 and the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 include protective provisions in favour of employees.

When will this statutory protection apply?

The statutory protection applies where a business or a part of a business is transferred through a legal transaction. The justification of the Labour Code covers both permanent and temporary legal transactions. This provision, however, shall not apply to transfer of a part of a business due to liquidation of assets in cases of bankruptcy.
