For subcontracted workers who were transferred to the permanent 4-D staff, the minimum bonus amount is 948 TL.
Approximately 1,110,000 people are directly affected, and the calendar for when the bonus payments will be made has now been clarified. The payment dates for the bonuses to be received by public workers and subcontracted workers transferred to permanent positions have been published in the Official Gazette. Accordingly, in line with the presidential decision, the first bonus payments were made on January 31, 2020. The second installment of the bonus payments will be made on Friday, May 22, 2020. Throughout the public sector, workers and subcontracted workers who moved into permanent status receive bonus payments totaling 52 days within one year. These bonus payments are made in four equal installments during the year. Installments are calculated on a gross basis, and before they are transferred to accounts, SGK (social security) contributions, stamp tax, and income tax deductions are applied. After these deductions, the remaining amount is transferred to the workers’ accounts.
What Is the Bonus Payment? Who Is Eligible?
What is the bonus payment and who receives it? The term bonus payment refers to a gratuity or supplementary payment. The state calculates this additional payment each year based on 52 days and pays it to workers after deducting applicable taxes. Personnel employed in worker positions in state institutions and public agencies are eligible for this payment.
The bonus is calculated on a gross basis and sent to accounts after tax deductions. According to regulations, additional overtime, child allowances, marriage allowances, in-kind assistance, and holiday pay are not included in the calculation for the bonus. After tax deductions on the gross amount, the net payment is deposited into workers’ accounts. Because bonus payments are subject to social security contributions, a social security premium of 15% and an income tax deduction are applied. In addition, stamp tax is deducted from the bonus payment, and the resulting net amount is credited to the workers’ accounts.
