Notes on this jurisdiction's rules and sources

Asgari ücret fixed by the Asgari Ücret Tespit Komisyonu under Labour Law 4857 art. 39 and published in the Resmî Gazete; gross daily and gross monthly (30-day) amounts. Twice-yearly periods 2009-2015 and in 2022-2023; annual otherwise. Separate under-16 rate until 2013. Rows cover 2009-2025 from the ÇSGB table; 2026 (33,030.00 TL gross / 28,075.50 TL net per month) is not yet in that table, so the 2026 row is still missing. Net amounts are not modelled.
