Insured employees struggle to meet the conditions necessary for retirement in order to have a stable income in old age. Age, premium and duration of insurance are essential for retirement. A pension that meets these three conditions is tied. Those who have completed the premium and non-age insurance period can quit their job if they wish and wait out their age. Some citizens continue to work even after retirement.
THIS ITEM MUST BE OBTAINED FROM SGK
It is also important to protect social rights while leaving work for retirement. For this, a “can retire” letter must be obtained from the Social Security Institution (SGK) and submitted to the workplace. Those who receive this letter are entitled to a severance indemnity, whether they have completed their premium and their period of insurance out of age, or have a pension. If these people go back to work, they can receive a second or even a third severance package. However, there is a very important detail here.
BE CAREFUL OF THIS DETAIL!
If a retired member of the SSK (4A) wishes to continue working, October 1, 2008 comes into play for him, according to the law. This date has two effects: 1) If people who started working or retired before this date want to continue working with SSK; will either lower their pension or work under the social security support premium (SGDP) scheme. 2) Those who entered the insurance and retired after October 1, 2008 will not be able to work without reducing their salary. In other words, they will not be able to pay the SGDP and have the possibility of working.
WHAT ARE THE INTERRUPTIONS?
Employees holding the 4A who started work before October 1, 2008, regardless of their status, must pay the SGDP without reducing their pension. The SGDP is levied on 30% of the gross salary (22.5% is paid by the employer, 7.5% is deducted from the salary of the employee’s retiree). In addition, the employer pays a work accident and occupational disease premium of 2% for the retired employee. There is no change for the retiree who cuts his salary and works, the premium is paid like a normal insured person.
CAN AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT FROM A SENIORITY COMPENSATION BY DESIGNATING?
QUESTION: I am a retired employee. I have been working at the same workplace for 8 years. I want to quit my job. Can I get severance pay? Mahir KARABURK
ANSWER: If the retired employee leaves his job voluntarily, he cannot receive severance pay. For the active retiree to receive severance pay, the employment contract; It must be terminated either unjustly by the employer, or for a reason justifiable by him. Not paying the bonus on the real salary, not allowing annual leave, mobbing (psychological violence), etc. acts give the employee the right to terminate the employment contract for just cause. If you terminate your employment contract for these reasons, you may receive severance pay. Otherwise, you can’t get it.
OTHER CONDITIONS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED
Those who continue to work subject to the support bonus without reducing their retirement pension can no longer retire. Consequently, he cannot receive any severance pay for “reason for retirement”. But the person; can receive compensation subject to the same rules as a normal worker, such as dismissal, termination of contract for just cause (such as late payment of wages and mobbing-psychological pressure), working period of at least 1 year.
Retirees who have reduced their pension and continue to work after resetting their severance pay are entitled to receive compensation for post-retirement periods by re-applying for retirement. On the other hand, pensioners who quit their job against their will are also entitled to termination pay. The severance pay can be up to 8 weeks depending on the working time. It does not matter here whether the seniority is reset or not.
WHAT ADVANTAGE?
Since a person who has worked at the same workplace for 20 years and retired with severance pay and continues to work at the same workplace for 3 more years after retirement, he is entitled to a severance pay for the second time, this time the severance pay is calculated over a period of 3 years only. If the person retires and continues to work without taking his seniority, he receives a total of 23 years of compensation. However, the general advice is to take seniority as soon as you retire. This option gives you an advantage.
EYES ARE ON THE HOLIDAY BONUS
With legal regulation, pensioners received a bonus of 1,000 lira each during religious holidays from 2018. The bonuses were increased from 100 lira to 1,100 lira in 2021. The President of the Pensioners Association of Turkey (TÜED), Kazım Ergün, said that the value of the 1,100 lira holiday bonus given to pensioners had decreased in the face of inflation and the cost of living, and noted that millions of pensioners were waiting for the good news . Of the party. Ergün said: “Our pensioners were able to meet many of their needs with a bonus of 1,000 lira in 2018. At that time, with a bonus of 1,000 lira, our pensioners could give pocket money to their grandchildren and their victims. It is not possible for our pensioners to do this with a bonus of 1,100 lire today. As prices rose in the bazaar, the holiday bonus remained the same. We want the bonus to increase to 2,500 lira, which is the lowest pension.”
