Managing human resources is one of the most complex and risk-prone operations for businesses operating in Turkey. An incorrectly calculated severance pay or a forgotten employment declaration can result in severe administrative fines amounting to tens of thousands of liras. At IMM CPA, we ensure your HR processes are 100% compliant with Turkish Labor Law and uncover hidden incentive opportunities for your enterprise.
You Might Be Overpaying Social Security (SGK) Premiums!
Many enterprises miss out on government subsidies because they fail to correctly code the demographic status (such as Women, Youth, or Vocational Qualification) of their employees into the SSI system. With the SGK incentive laws applicable in 2026, it is possible to save thousands of liras per employee monthly. We create a financial shield by analyzing your company's retroactive (past 6 months) and current SSI incentive potential.
Our Comprehensive Payroll & HR Outsourcing Scope
To establish an HR infrastructure that is transparent, fully compliant with legislation, and audit-ready, we take over the following operations:
Net-to-gross or gross-to-net salary calculations. Flawless payroll processing for overtime, bonuses, premium payments, legal garnishments, and special deductions.
Providing the legal and technical infrastructure for personnel files, warning letters, and termination without severance (Just Cause) to protect against costly reinstatement lawsuits.
Timely and accurate submission of monthly premium and service documents (MUHSGK) to the SSI system using legally incentivized code numbers, avoiding penalty situations.
Fully outsourced "Confidential Payroll" management to ensure that the salaries of C-Level executives and company partners remain entirely private and inaccessible to internal departments.
In-House HR Management vs. Professional Outsourcing
The tangible advantages of outsourcing your payroll processes to an independent CPA firm rather than relying on in-house personnel include:
| Evaluation Criteria | In-House HR Management | Professional Payroll Outsourcing (IMM) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Management | Employee Salary + HR Software License Fees | Significantly Lower (Fixed Service Fee) |
| Compliance & Penalty Risk | High (Difficult to track legislation) | Near Zero (Expert CPA Control) |
| Data Privacy (KVKK/GDPR) | Low (Salaries may leak internally) | 100% Secure (Full Compliance) |
| Operational Continuity | Process halts if employee takes annual/sick leave | Uninterrupted Corporate Service Guarantee |
