Turkey EOR Services

Native Teams simplifies the process of hiring employees in Turkey by taking care of local laws, tax frameworks, and international payroll management.

Why use an employer of record services in Turkey?

Normally, companies are required to set up a legal entity if they want to hire workers in Turkey. This requires registering an address, finding an office and opening a local bank account. All of this plus complying with local regulations, payroll, tax and benefits can be a time-consuming process that can take several months.

By partnering with an Employer of Record (EOR) service provider like Native Teams, businesses can operate in Turkey without establishing a legal entity, thereby saving valuable time and resources. Additionally, this approach ensures compliance with all employment laws and regulations.

How do EOR services in Turkey work?

When you hire your new employee through our EOR, the employment will be jointly shared between you, the business owner, and us, Native Teams.

You will retain essential management control over the work performed by your employees and day-to-day activities, while we (Native Teams) will take on the responsibility of being the legal employer. Your primary responsibility will be to issue a payment to the leasing company to cover payroll, taxes, benefits, and administrative fees, while we’ll handle everything else.
