What will be the minimum wage? Fiscal negotiation for the increase in the minimum wage…

For the minimum wage meeting, a commission of 15 people made up of 5 people representing the worker, the employer and the government held its first meeting. The second meeting will take place on December 14.

HOW MUCH WILL THE MINIMUM FEE BE?

The negotiations of the minimum wage determination commission began with the worker’s request for an ‘increase plus tax bracket’ and the employer’s offer of ‘inflation plus social participation’.

Türk-İş President Ergün Atalay announced that they will start negotiating the minimum wage at 7,785 lira, which is the hunger limit.

With this statement, it has been made sure that Türk-İş will not accept an increase rate of 41.5 percent or less.

Türk-İş is expected to evaluate offers such as 8 thousand TL (45.5 percent), 8 thousand 250 TL (50 percent) or 8 thousand 500 TL (54.5 percent).

BUSINESS OFFER IS AT THE LEVEL OF 7 thousand 500

At the negotiating table, employer representatives are expected to mention 6-month inflation plus the 10-15 point social participation formula.

This shows that even with the social participation of the IPC + 15, the increase offer will remain around 30-35%, and the employer will negotiate a maximum of 7 thousand 425 TL.

However, it is stated that this year the minimum wage will be determined by the electoral environment and not by the negotiating table.

MINIMUM WAGE EXPECTATION 7 thousand 845 TL
