“SHOULD STAY ON THE REAL NUMBERS”

Minister Bilgin said: “We need to focus on a real number, not an imaginary one.”

HOW IS THE MINIMUM WAGE DETERMINED?

The minimum wage is still at the level of 5 thousand 500 TL net. The new salary, which will come into force on January 1, 2023, will be adjusted based on the results of the work of the Commission to determine the minimum wage.
