German Employment Law Consultancy for Turkish Citizens

Almanya Türk İş Hukuku Danışmanlığı (Deutsches Arbeitsrecht Beratung für Türken) services play a crucial role in ensuring legal security for Turkish employees living in Germany or professionals coming from Turkey to work. Although Germany strongly protects employee rights, differences in the legal system, language barriers, and complex procedures may prevent individuals from fully defending their rights. Therefore, working with a professional team that provides legal support in Turkish becomes a highly significant advantage.

Protection of Employee Rights in Germany

Preparation of employment contracts, termination processes, overtime wages, mobbing complaints, vacation and leave rights, and severance pay are all part of German employment law. Although these matters are regulated by detailed legislation, legal representation is often required when disputes arise between employers and employees.

Turkius Law & Mediation & IP Services, through its Cologne office in Germany and employment law experts, offers effective, solution-oriented consultancy to ensure the protection of Turkish workers’ rights. Founded in Istanbul, the firm operates not only in Turkey but also in Germany and Switzerland with a strong international legal network.

Professional Support in Employment Disputes

Turkish employees in Germany may have difficulties understanding or defending their rights when facing workplace issues. With the support provided by Turkius Law, legal processes such as reinstatement lawsuits, wrongful termination, social security rights, discrimination, and workplace accidents are managed professionally.

Dismissal and compensation processes

Every termination in Germany requires a valid legal justification and clear procedural adherence. Claims against wrongful termination are subject to strict and short deadlines. Therefore, receiving legal assistance in Turkish is extremely valuable.

Drafting and interpretation of employment contracts in Germany

It is common for foreign workers to sign employment contracts without fully understanding them, which may lead to loss of rights. Every clause should be clearly explained in Turkish before signing.

Mobbing and workplace harassment

Allegations of mobbing are taken seriously in Germany. Collecting evidence and following the right legal strategy requires professional guidance.
