Will there be an interim increase in the minimum wage in Turkey? Explanation Came!
Will the interim increase in the minimum wage, which citizens are waiting for, be made in July 2024? A new statement came on the subject. Here are the details!
Every year in December, official announcements are made about how much the minimum wage will be. After the minimum wage for this year, all eyes turned to the minimum wage interim increase. Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan also made a new statement on this issue.
Işıkhan, who also talked about the works to be carried out regarding the pensioners in addition to the interim increase in the minimum wage, stated that there will be no interim increase in July and that they will proceed according to the previously announced decision.
No Interim Increase in Minimum Wage in 2024
Citizens express the difficulty of making a living with the minimum wage every time. On the other hand, the increase in the minimum wage causes many other products to increase. This situation does not actually bring a solution to people’s livelihood difficulties.
In previous years, there was a serious increase in the minimum wage with an interim increase. According to this year, it was announced that there will be no interim increase in the minimum wage. The Minister of Labor and Social Security also said that no change was made on this issue and that there would be no interim increase.
He responded to the question of whether citizens should expect an interim increase in the minimum wage as follows:
“No, such an issue is not on our agenda. The process will continue in the same way as we made a decision at the beginning. In July, the differences arising from inflation or the contract will be reflected in pensions. As you know, the lowest pension is 10 thousand liras. Already in July, the differences arising from inflation or the contract will definitely be reflected in the pensions. Apart from this, we are not considering any interim increase in the minimum wage.”
