Critical decision from the Court of Cassation for those retired and working

Turkey’s Court of Cassation ruled in favor of a worker who retired but continued at the same workplace and was later dismissed, finding the employee entitled to protections under the case. The decision addresses the legal status of retirees who stay on the job and whose employment contracts are terminated. It matters because it clarifies severance and job-security treatment for a growing segment of Turkey’s workforce that draws a pension while remaining employed. Watch for lower courts and employers to adjust termination practices and contract terms for retired staff in response.
