Obligation To Hire Former Convicts In Turkey

The obligation to employ former convicts is not merely an employment policy to be considered within the scope of social responsibility; it is also an obligation that gives rise to direct legal and financial consequences for employers. Although this obligation may appear to be a simple matter of “filling a quota,” in practice it involves multiple technical elements, including determining the number of employees, employing personnel with the correct legal status, and managing notification procedures. In particular, where employers fulfill this obligation incompletely or incorrectly, they may face administrative fines, making it necessary to address the issue not only from a theoretical perspective but also as a matter of direct risk management.
