Minister Işıkhan said, "We will conduct the process as we did last year. We will meet with the parties in the first week or the second week of December; we are ready. Once the minimum wage schedule is clear, we will explain the process."

IT WILL MEET 4 TIMES

The Minimum Wage Determination Commission meets four times as required by law to determine the new minimum wage.

WORKERS, EMPLOYERS, AND GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES WILL COME TOGETHER

The minimum wage is determined by the Minimum Wage Determination Commission, which consists of 15 members, with 5 representatives each from workers, employers, and the government, as required by law.
