Turkey Overtime Pay Guide
Convert gross hourly pay and overtime premium into a payroll estimate with clear time categories.
Deriving gross hourly pay
Divide monthly gross salary by the hours basis that matches the contract. The common 225-hour convention is not universal for part-time or special schedules. Starting from net pay usually understates the premium base.
Premium and working-time category
Hours beyond statutory weekly time can attract a premium, often discussed around fifty percent, while collective agreements may set more. Equalisation schemes can reclassify additional hours, so not every extra hour is automatic overtime.
Holiday, weekend and night work
Rest-day and national-holiday work may follow different legal labels than ordinary overtime. Night premiums should be listed separately to keep social-security and dispute records clean.
Records and payroll deductions
Timesheets, access logs and written instructions support the hours claimed. After the gross overtime line is set, SGK, unemployment and income tax change the net result across months with cumulative brackets.
Contract caps and practical checks
Internal rules may require time-off in lieu or annual ceilings. Compare punch totals with the payroll line and verify divisor, rate and category before escalating a dispute. The calculator is informational only.
A simple review order
Write down gross pay, divisor, extra hours, premium, holiday or night flags and any collective-agreement clause. Compute gross overtime, run a payroll scenario, then reconcile with attendance evidence.
Collective agreements
Sectoral agreements may raise premiums or redefine night and holiday lines. Always read the workplace clause before accepting a generic fifty-percent assumption.
Practical tips
- Start from gross, never net.
- Verify the hourly divisor against the schedule.
- Split holiday and night hours into separate lines.
- Keep timesheets and approvals.
- Ask whether equalisation changes the category.
FAQ
Is overtime based on net salary?
No. The core calculation starts from gross hourly pay; net appears after deductions.
Is every weekend hour overtime?
Not without checking weekly rest-day rules and equalisation.
Is 225 hours universal?
No. It is a common full-time reference, not a rule for every contract.
Can the premium exceed the legal floor?
Yes, if a collective agreement or workplace practice provides more.
Is the estimate an official payslip?
No. Only the lawful payroll document is binding.
