Accordingly, daily working hours should be 7,5 hours in a workplace where employees work 6 days in a week.

In SSI transactions, a month is regarded as 30 days. As a result of that, monthly working hours should be calculated as 30×7,5=225. If an employee works more than that period of time, it will be regarded as “overtime”.

An employee can have maximum 270 hours overwork in a year. Even if he/she consents to work more than that period, he/she will not be allowed to do that. While calculating the annual working period, if the period of overtime is less than half an hour, it will be regarded as half an hour. If the period of overtime is more than half an hour and less than one hour, it will be regarded as one hour.

In accordance with the Labor Law, it is forbidden for some employees to have overtime. Those are listed below:

  • Non-adult employees.
  • Employees whose health conditions are not suitable for overtime even if they      accept it before/after the labor contract or collective agreements.
  • Pregnant, women after childbirth and nursing mothers.
  • Part-time workers.
