Salary appeared to EYT members in March
AKP deputies submitted to Parliament the bill that paves the way for the retirement age of those who are older at retirement (EYT). The proposal is scheduled to be discussed in the Plan and Budget Committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly on Thursday of this week and in the general assembly on Wednesday of next week and become law. The annual cost of regulation is expected to exceed 200 billion lire, including wages and holiday bonuses.
MAY BE LEGAL THIS WEEK
AKP Group Vice President Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu said: “The proposal will be discussed in the commission this week, enacted in the General Assembly next week and will come into force in February. Salaries will be paid starting in March,” he said.
Akbaşoğlu stated that they plan to discuss the proposal in the Planning and Budget Committee this week, saying, “We expect the General Assembly to enact the EYT on Tuesday or Wednesday, at the latest next week.” With the law covering more than 5 million people in total, it is estimated that 2,250,000 people will have the right to retire this year. The first retirement applications will be made in February. EYT members who apply in February will receive their first pension entitlement on March 1, 2023. It is indicated that the first salary payment of EYT members is possible from March. Salaries will be credited to the account on the date determined according to the registration number.
GRADUATE BONUS DAY
By suppressing the age requirement with the EYT, those who started working before September 8, 1999 (including this date) and finished the insurance period with the number of days of premium may obtain the right to retirement. Since the laws prior to September 8, 1999 will apply, the graduated premium day will apply. Accordingly, the graduated premium day will vary from 5,000 to 5,975 person-to-person days for SSK members. Women, who are subject to Bağ-Kur and the Pension Fund, will be able to retire when they complete their premium days of 7,200 and men 9,000. The insurance period will be 20 years for women and 25 years for men. If the EYT member who is entitled to retire returns to work at the same workplace within 10 days, the employer will receive 5 percent premium support. This means approximately 500 TL of support per worker.
Mandatory retirement in subcontractor is suppressed
Mandatory retirement applied to subcontracted workers, who were granted the status of public personnel upon being appointed, also goes down in history with the new regulation. Contract workers were forced to retire as soon as their retirement period expired. With the new regulation included in the 4-point EYT bill, this obligation is lifted. From now on, those who go from subcontractors, including municipalities, to staff will be able to continue working even if they have the right to retire.
