This directive is issued in line with Ministerial Resolution No. 729/2024, published in the Official Gazette on December 15, 2024, and forms part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to regulate the labour market and ensure the timely and transparent payment of wages. The Ministry has warned that failure to comply with these requirements may result in financial penalties and other regulatory consequences.
Employers are therefore urged to take the necessary measures to align their payroll practices with the Wage Protection System to remain in compliance with national labour regulations.
