The Minimum Wage Determination Commission met for the fourth time, hosted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, as part of the efforts to determine the minimum wage that will be valid for the year 2025.

TÜRK-İŞ DID NOT ATTEND

In the commission consisting of representatives from workers, employers, and the government, the employer delegation was represented by the Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations (TİSK). The Turkish Confederation of Trade Unions (TÜRK-İŞ), which was supposed to represent the worker delegation, did not attend the last meeting. In a statement from TÜRK-İŞ, it was noted that "The Minimum Wage Determination Commission has been called to a meeting on the evening of December 24, 2024, 'for a decision.' The TÜRK-İŞ Board of Directors has decided not to attend the meeting organized without any information regarding the minimum wage proposal."

NEW MINIMUM WAGE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED

Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan announced the minimum wage for 2025 as 22,104 TL, with a 30% increase.

49 DOLLAR INCREASE

Thus, a 49 dollar increase has been made to the minimum wage in dollar terms. The minimum wage, which was equivalent to 578 dollars in December 2024, has risen to 627 dollars for the year 2025.

TÜRK-İŞ'S REQUEST WAS 29,583 LIRA

In a statement made by TÜRK-İŞ after the 3rd meeting of the Minimum Wage Determination Commission, it was requested that the minimum wage be 29,583 lira, with a 45% inflation increase and a 20% share of welfare. After this request, all eyes were turned to the last meeting.

EMPLOYER SUPPORT HAS BECOME 1,000 LIRA!

On the other hand, another agenda item for TİSK, representing the employer side in the commission, was the minimum wage support to be provided to employers. The support, which is currently 700 TL, has been increased to 1,000 TL for the next year. It was expected that the minimum wage support, which is one of the important topics in minimum wage negotiations, would exceed 1,000 lira.

38 BILLION TL MINIMUM WAGE SUPPORT PROVIDED

The government provided approximately 38 billion lira in minimum wage support to 1.5 million businesses in the first 9 months of this year. The minimum wage support reduced the employer's cost to 22,852 lira this year.
