Hire in Turkey without a local company
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Turkey employs people on your behalf under Turkish Labor Law No. 4857. Gini Talent is the legal employer. Your company manages day-to-day work. Payroll, SGK social security, tax withholding and employment administration sit with the EOR.
The three-party model
You contract with Gini Talent. Gini Talent employs the person in Turkey. The person works in your team. Responsibilities are written down before anyone starts. A start date or work-permit timeline is confirmed case by case — not promised on this page.
What is included
- Locally compliant employment contracts
- SGK registration and monthly contributions
- Payroll, income tax and stamp tax withholding
- Onboarding and compliant offboarding
- Work-permit support when a foreign national needs authorization
- Reporting back to head office on an agreed cycle
Speed and pricing (guide, not a quote)
For standard hires, onboarding through Turkey EOR is typically measured in business days once documents are ready — Gini publishes an average of about 3–4 business days for standard cases. Entity setup often takes 3–6 months. Turkey EOR pricing starts from the published Gini rate for Turkey (see the Turkey EOR pricing guide). Your proposal shows salary, employer charges and the service fee separately.
When EOR fits
EOR is usually the right first step when you do not have a Turkish company and you need one or a small team employed compliantly. If you already have candidates, employment can start through EOR. If you still need people, recruitment is a separate decision — see resources.
