Workplace is the places where the insured do their work together with its material and non-material elements. Places connected to the workplace, which are affiliated with the goods produced or services provided in the workplace and which are organized under the same management and organisation, and the other relevant attachments allocated for doings such as resting, breastfeeding, dining, sleeping, cleaning, examination and care, physical or vocational training places, courtyards and offices, and vehicles are included within the scope of the workplace in accordance with the Turkish Social Security Law.
According to the Turkish social security law, it is obligatory to register workplaces and notify them to the Social Security Institution (SSI). In cases where companies merge, change their types or join another company, and in case of hiring new partners in ordinary companies, an additional workplace notification is required legally.
In case a company which is subject to the provisions of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 change its type, it merges or joins with another company, this has to be notified within then days as to start from the date of the announcement regarding the registration of these matters in the trade registry. In the case of a new partner being recruited to the company in ordinary companies, a notification is supposed to be made with a workplace declaration, at the latest, within ten days following the date of receipt of the new partner.
It is sufficient not to submit a workplace declaration for changes in business name in workplaces, but to notify the SSI with a letter to which the Trade Registry Gazette is attached.
Transactions to be done in case of transfer of workplace
In the event of the transfer of a job or workplace with social insured employment in it, the workplace notification will be sent to the relevant unit of the Institution where the workplace is processed, by the new employer, at the latest, within ten days following the date of transfer of the job or workplace.
