Basic Wage Components

-
Non-fixed allowances
- payments given directly/indirectly but irregularly
- paid in a different time unit than basic wages
Non-wage Income
- Facilities
- tangible benefits from the company (e.g., vehicle/shuttle, free food, places of worship, childcare, cooperatives, canteens)
- Bonuses
- not wages; profit- or performance-based (exceeding normal targets/increased productivity)
- THR (holiday allowance)
- not wages; discretionary company payment based on established rules
8) Termination of Employment (PHK)
Meaning
PHK is the termination of employment due to a certain matter that ends rights and obligations.
Basic Principles Regarding PHK
- Employers, workers, and government must try to prevent PHK.
- If prevention fails, termination intent must be negotiated:
- employer with labor union
- or employer with the worker if the worker is not in a labor union
- If negotiations fail, the employer may terminate only after a decision from the industrial relations dispute resolution institution.
- The employer must submit a written application with clear reasons.
- The institution can accept the application if the employer has made efforts to stop PHK and maximum negotiations have been held.
Procedure for Resolving PHK Disputes
- Bipartite settlement (employer with union/worker)
- Settlement through a mediator
- Settlement via Regional P4
- Settlement via Central P4
Technical Provisions: Situations Where PHK Is Prohibited (Examples)
Employers are prohibited from carrying out PHK in cases such as:
- Worker is unable to work due to illness with a doctor’s statement for up to 12 consecutive months
- Worker is unable due to obligations to the state under applicable laws
- Worker is carrying out religious worship commands
- Worker is married
- Pregnant worker gives birth (including miscarriage) and is breastfeeding
- Worker has blood/marital ties with another worker in the company (unless regulated in agreement/rules)
- Worker resigns from being a union member/administrator
- Worker carries out union activities outside working hours or with agreement during working hours (per rules/agreements)
- Worker reports the employer to authorities due to the employer committing a crime
- Differences based on religious/political beliefs, ethnicity, skin color, gender, physical conditions, marital status
- Worker is permanently ill due to a work accident or work-related illness where recovery time cannot be determined
PHK Does Not Require Permission in Certain Cases
- Worker is still in the probation period
- Worker resigns
- Worker reaches retirement age per company rules or collective labor agreement
- Fixed-term work agreement extended once
- Worker dies
Severance and Compensation
When PHK occurs, the employer must pay:
- severance pay
- and/or service award
- plus compensation money workers should receive
9) Basis for Calculating Overtime Wages (and Related Pay Calculations)
The wage components mentioned are used for calculating PHK-related payments:
- Use wage components to calculate:
- severance pay
- service award
- compensation money owed to the worker
- If income is daily:
- monthly income = 30 × daily income
- If income is piecework/commission/unit-based:
- daily income = average daily income over the last 12 months
- must not be lower than the minimum wage provisions
- For wages based on piecework due to work depending on weather:
- monthly wages calculated from the average over the last 12 months
