The total cost of the minimum wage for the employer is 23,502 liras and 94 kuruş per worker, of which 20,002 liras and 50 cents is the total minimum wage, 3,100 liras and 39 cents is the social security premium, and 400 liras and 5 cents is the unemployment insurance fund for employers.
The increase in the minimum wage has an increasing impact on all wages, especially wages in workplaces where collective bargaining agreements are implemented.
In addition to its direct impact on employees who earn their living from this wage, the minimum wage also concerns most of society because it is accepted as a standard in many systems in legal legislation.
It affects many items including unemployment benefits, severance pay, social security system premiums, military service and maternity debts, optional insurance premiums, training fees and reporting fees for minimum wage earners.
