Labour Law No. 4857<\/a> provides two types of incentives to encourage disabled work.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to Article 30 of the Labour Law, when the conditions for employing disabled and ex-convicts in the workplace are fulfilled, an incentive is foreseen in the insurance premium. Accordingly, the employer’s shares of the insurance premium calculated over the lower limit of the premium-based earnings for each disabled person employed by employers who employ disabled people over quota, employ disabled people even though they are not obliged to do so, will be fully covered by the Treasury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another regulation in the context of the wages of the disabled and the incentives provided to the employer is found in Additional Article 1 of the Law No. 4857. Accordingly, the “Regulation on the Payment to be made to the Employer against the Wages of the Disabled Working in Sheltered Workplaces” entered into force after being published in the Official Gazette dated 30.04.2016 and numbered 29699.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Article 3 of the Law No. 5378 on Persons with Disabilities, sheltered workplaces are workplaces that are technically and financially supported by the state in order to provide vocational rehabilitation and create employment for mentally or mentally disabled workers in Turkey who are difficult to bring into the labour market and whose working environment is specially arranged. It is envisaged that the wages paid by the employer to the mentally or mentally disabled people who are employed here and who are difficult to be integrated into the labour market will be paid by the Treasury according to certain criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accordingly, the primary condition is that these wages must be paid on time and the legal obligations related to these wages must be met in full and on time. If these are not fulfilled, the provision of this article will not be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the arrangements made, not all of the wages paid by the employer, but only a certain amount will be covered by the Treasury. Accordingly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a) For each disabled employees in Turkey working in the protection workplace, the amount of the monthly amount paid in accordance with the subparagraph (a) of the first paragraph of Article 2 of the law dated 01.07.1976 and numbered 2022 on the monthly allowance for needy, weak and orphaned Turkish citizens who have reached the age of 65,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
b) Twenty per cent of the amount determined by subparagraph (a) for each disabled person working in sheltered workplaces established in the provinces within the scope of Article 2 of the Law No. 5084 dated 29.01.2004 on the Encouragement of Investments and Employment and Amendments to Certain Laws,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
c) In workplaces employing more disabled workers in Turkey than the number required to be employed by the relevant legislation in order to obtain sheltered workplace status, twenty per cent of the amount determined by subparagraph (a) will be paid to the employer by the Ministry of Family and Social Services for each disabled person employed above the required number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to make a payment in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation, the employer must prepare a number of documents. Accordingly, a document stating that there is no social security premium debt, a document stating that there is no tax debt, a document proving that employers pay the wages of the disabled in full and on time, a sheltered workplace form will be prepared and an application will be made to the provincial directorate of the Ministry of Family and Social Services in the province where the workplace is located. The application can be made for the wages of the disabled for the period when the protected workplace status of the workplace continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, in accordance with Article 7 of the regulation, workplaces that benefit from the sheltered workplaces grant support provided by the commission established according to the Regulation on the Commission Authorized to Use Administrative Fines Collected from Employers Who Do Not Employ Disabled and Ex-Disabled Persons, will not be able to benefit from the wage support within the scope of the regulation simultaneously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
