Employment, Payroll and
HR Services in Turkey
Build and manage your team in Türkiye with experienced local support.
Looking for Employer of Record or EOR services in Turkey? We provide a locally structured solution combining employment administration, compliant payroll operations, HR consultancy, work permit support and business process outsourcing.
From onboarding and monthly payroll to statutory processes and employee lifecycle management, every service is delivered through a framework designed around the legal and operational requirements applicable in Türkiye.
Operating in Türkiye since 2012. Ankara based. English and Turkish throughout.
Local Expertise. Connected Technology.
Our Türkiye operations and purpose-built technology are delivered as one connected service, not as separate layers managed through intermediaries. PayrollTR powers payroll calculations and personnel administration, while WorkSpace gives clients and employees access to approvals, cost reporting, payslips, leave, expenses, documents and local support. Both platforms are used by the same Türkiye-based team responsible for payroll administration and statutory processes, providing consistent data, clear accountability and direct local support.
Employee app
Employees can request leave, submit expenses by photographing receipts, access their documents and contact our local support team directly from their phones.
Secure Document Library
Employment contracts, monthly payslips and other employee documents are securely organised by person. Access is limited to the employee and authorised users.
Transparent Cost Breakdown
Gross salary, statutory deductions, employer contributions, net pay, service fees and currency conversion are displayed separately. Every figure remains visible and traceable.
International Expectations, Structured for Turkish Law
Employer of Record (EOR) and Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) are widely used international service descriptions. In Türkiye, however, these terms are not separately codified legal models. Employment arrangements must be structured within the country’s existing labour, social security, tax, immigration and private employment agency framework.
That is why our Türkiye solution does not simply replicate a standard global EOR model. Each engagement is reviewed according to the role, working structure and operational responsibilities involved. We then coordinate the relevant employment administration, payroll, statutory processes, HR support and workforce services within a clearly documented local framework.
Clients receive the practical benefits they expect from an international EOR or PEO service: coordinated onboarding, transparent payroll, local HR support, statutory process management and clear cost reporting. The underlying service structure, however, is tailored to the legal and operational realities of Türkiye.

What is included
One agreement covering the full employment lifecycle, from the first hire to ongoing compliance and offboarding.
Talent access and hiring support
Türkiye offers a skilled, multilingual and cost efficient workforce, particularly in engineering, operations, finance and field services. Search and selection support is available when you need it, and stays optional when you have already found your candidate.
Onboarding and permits
Work and residence permits, relocation logistics, housing, banking and social security registration. Foreign nationals start legally from day one, and renewal dates are tracked before they become urgent.
Payroll administration
Monthly payroll under Turkish law, with statutory deductions, accrual tracking, audit ready records and adaptation to parameter changes as they are published. Payslips reach employees through their own secure area.
Regulatory intelligence and HR compliance
Employment contracts, leave tracking, disciplinary process, offboarding and legislative updates. Managed jointly with your team and reported on a schedule you set, rather than surfacing only when something goes wrong.
Occupational health and safety
OHS obligations across all risk classes, including training, medical screening, documentation and certified risk assessment, delivered through authorised professionals with audit ready reporting.
Data privacy and employee records
Personnel data processed under Türkiye's KVKK regime with GDPR aligned controls. Contracts, payslips and documents live in the platform with role based access instead of circulating as e-mail attachments.

Your services are configured in WorkSpace at payrollservices.tr, bringing payroll approvals, cost reporting, employee documents and service management into one secure environment. Employees can access payslips, submit leave and expenses, and contact support through the Employee App.
Step 4

Payroll and personnel administration are managed through PayrollTR, while WorkSpace gives your team visibility over approvals, costs, documents and ongoing services.
