According to the general principle of Turkish Law, employment contracts are subject to the Labor Law No. 4857. However, due to its characteristic structure, the provisions of the Maritime Labor Law No. 854 are applicable to maritime transportation works.

Article 15 of the Maritime Labor Law No. 854 gives the employer, employer’s representative or seafarer the right to terminate the service contract. The party who is informed of the behavior that gives rise to this right of termination must utilize this right within 6 working days and in any case within 1 year.

Working time is the period during which the seafarer is at work. In general terms, working time is 8 hours a day and 48 hours a week. This period is equally divided and applied to the working days of the week.

Seafarers who have worked for the same employer or on the same ship for at least 6 months in a calendar year are entitled to annual paid leave. The leave period must be at least 15 days for seafarers with 6-12 months of service, and at least 1 month per year for those with 1 year or more of service.
