Can employment agreements be backdated in Turkey?

In Turkey, it is not permitted to backdate employment contracts. Employment contracts must accurately reflect the date when the agreement is signed and the employment relationship begins.

Any attempt to backdate a contract could result in legal complications, as it would not align with Turkish labor laws. Employers should ensure that employment agreements are executed on the actual start date to maintain compliance with legal requirements and avoid disputes.
