Which EOR provider is best for hiring in Turkiye in 2026?
No single winner. We scored eight EOR providers on a published rubric built around Turkiye's rules: Is Kanunu termination law, SGK social contributions and Turkish Lira volatility. Teamed leads on Turkish employment-law depth and FX transparency. Oyster leads on onboarding. Deel and Rippling lead on platform.
What is an EOR in Turkiye?
An Employer of Record (EOR) in Turkiye legally employs your people through its own Turkish entity or a vetted local partner, so you can hire compliantly before you have a limited sirket of your own. The EOR issues a Turkish-law employment contract, runs payroll, remits income tax and Social Security Institution (SGK) contributions, roughly 20 to 22% employer-side, and carries the employer obligations under Is Kanunu 4857 while you direct the day-to-day work.
Turkiye adds layers that catch buyers off guard. Severance pay accrues at 30 days of gross salary per completed year of qualifying service, and notice periods run from two to eight weeks depending on tenure. Salaries are often quoted net in Turkiye, so gross-up modelling is essential before you compare provider fees. Turkish Lira volatility amplifies the FX question more than in most EOR corridors. Ask every provider whether you can see the actual conversion rate on your invoice, and whether they own the Turkish entity or work through a local partner.
Methodology
How we scored this comparison
Each provider is scored 1 to 5 on five criteria tailored to Turkiye's employment environment: Turkish compliance depth, FX transparency in TRY, platform self-serve, onboarding speed and the lifecycle to your own entity. There is no weighted total and no overall winner. Different providers lead different columns. Teamed is scored on exactly the same criteria as the rest, and leads on Turkish compliance, cost transparency and the lifecycle column.
- Turkish compliance & Is Kanunu depth
- Owned entity or vetted local partner in Turkiye, real HR and legal experts with Turkish employment-law depth who handle Is Kanunu terminations, SGK compliance, severance calculations and notice periods directly. Whether a real Turkish employment-law expert responds at the hard moments. Human response speed alongside entity structure.
- Cost & FX transparency (TRY context)
- Whether the headline fee is the real bill in Turkiye. Turkish Lira volatility makes FX margin on salary conversion a larger real-world cost than in most EOR corridors. FX margin disclosed and itemised, no undisclosed spread, no surprise setup or deposit fees.
- Platform & self-serve
- Dashboard depth, integrations and API surface for teams that want to run global hiring themselves.
- Onboarding & speed
- Speed to first payroll in Turkiye and how well the product supports a fast-growing team adding headcount quickly.
- Lifecycle to entity
- Whether the provider moves you from contractor to EOR to your own Turkish limited sirket on one system, and flags the crossover point.
How we gathered evidence
Every competitor number on this page is read from the Teamed competitor fact-cache, last verified on 18 June 2026 against each provider's own pricing page and G2. Turkiye statutory contribution rates reference sgk.gov.tr and Is Kanunu 4857 on resmigazete.gov.tr. Where a provider does not publish pricing or only surfaces it via a demo request, we say so. Where G2 blocked an automated read, the rating carries a verification caveat.
Considered & excluded
We scored eight providers a company hiring into Turkiye for the first time, or evaluating a switch, would realistically shortlist, from enterprise incumbents to the cost-conscious end.
- Skuad, Atlas, Omnipresent: Capable, but with a thinner published track record in Turkiye than the eight scored.
- Multiplier, Native Teams: Lower-price positioning is covered by this list's range. Multiplier's Turkiye entity model and FX terms are not published with sufficient detail for a per-criterion score.

#1
Teamed
Us, scored on the same rubricBest for: fast-growing companies hiring into Turkiye that want the real FX on their TRY salary conversions, a real person on every plan and a path to their own Turkish entity on one system.
Teamed owns its own Turkish legal entity, one of 57 owned entities in its 180+ country network, which means Turkish staff are employed directly through it rather than via a local partner chain. The Turkish Lira question is where this shows up most clearly. TRY volatility makes an undisclosed FX margin a larger real-world cost than in most EOR corridors. Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee and shows the applied conversion rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice.
Real HR and legal experts with Turkish employment-law depth handle Is Kanunu terminations, severance calculations and SGK compliance directly. Access is included on every plan, with no AI bot wall and no support tier to unlock. That matters most when a Turkiye exit goes wrong: a contested termination under Is Kanunu 4857, a severance dispute or a complex SGK query requires a real expert in the room, not a ticket queue.
Teamed is not trying to be your HRIS. It plugs into the tools you already run and is the partner you choose for your global team, from your first Turkish contractor through EOR to your own limited sirket. Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) sets up and runs your own entity in 90+ countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding. If Turkiye grows from a test hire to a meaningful local team, Teamed models the month your own entity beats EOR.
- Countries
- 180+ via owned entities and vetted partners; owned entity in Turkiye
- Entity model
- Owned entity in Turkiye; owned entities in 57 countries total; vetted partners for the rest of the 180+ footprint
- Onboarding
- Expert-guided, with real Turkish employment-law expertise through the transition
- Contractors
- Yes, with misclassification cover (Guard and Protect)
- Pricing
- $599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, flat, FX absorbed at zero markup · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.8/5
Strengths
- Owns its own Turkish entity, so Turkish staff are employed directly through it with no partner chain. TRY volatility makes this unusually important: FX absorbed at zero markup and shown against the mid-market reference on every invoice.
- Real HR and legal experts on every plan, with Turkish employment-law depth on Is Kanunu terminations, severance and SGK compliance, no AI bot wall and no tier to unlock. Rated 4.8 on G2 for service.
- One system from first Turkish contractor through EOR to your own limited sirket via GEMO, with no re-onboarding. Proactive crossover modelling tells you when your own entity makes more sense than EOR.
- Focused partner, not a HRIS. Teamed plugs into your stack rather than replacing it, sized for fast-growing companies rather than Fortune-500 procurement reviews.
Watch-outs
- Lighter self-serve platform and shallower API than Deel or Rippling. The model is advisory-led rather than dashboard-first.
- Smaller brand and review base than Deel or Remote. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are aligned with accreditation in progress, not yet held the way Deel or Remote hold them.
- The advisory depth earns its keep across multiple countries or a growing Turkiye headcount. A single hire with no plans to scale may suit a lighter self-serve platform better.

#2
Deel
Best for: teams that want the broadest all-in-one platform, the deepest self-serve experience and the strongest brand in EOR, and are comfortable trading a visible TRY invoice line for that depth.
Deel is the market-leading all-in-one global payroll, EOR and HR platform, with the deepest self-serve product and one of the broadest native integration catalogues in the category. Turkiye sits in its 150-plus country reach, and full legal employment is available in the 110+ core EOR markets. For many buyers it lands on the shortlist before anyone else is considered.
The reasons companies look past Deel for Turkiye are consistent with its broader profile. It does not publish a specific FX rate or spread on salary conversions, so the Turkish Lira conversion cost is built into the rate rather than shown on the invoice. In a TRY corridor, that undisclosed FX margin is a larger real-world cost than in a EUR or GBP one. Its dedicated Slack or Teams support channel sits on the Enterprise tier, from $899, while Standard support runs through a shared queue.
Against the alternatives, Deel gives you the broadest platform, the strongest integration story and the market-leading brand. You give up a readable TRY invoice line and a real person not gated behind the Enterprise tier. It holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 today, which a procurement team will note. For teams that want the broadest reach alongside deep self-serve, Deel remains the default starting point.
- Countries
- 150-plus reach, full legal employment in 110+
- Entity model
- A mix of owned entities and vetted partners
- Onboarding
- Fast, polished self-serve
- Contractors
- Yes, mature contractor and misclassification tooling
- Pricing
- From $599 Standard, from $899 Enterprise per employee per month · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.8/5
Strengths
- The deepest all-in-one platform and self-serve depth in the category, with one of the broadest native integration catalogues, covering most stacks without custom work.
- The market-leading brand and a long enterprise track record. Clears a procurement shortlist on recognition before rivals are evaluated.
- Holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications today, plus mature equity, IP and contractor tooling alongside EOR.
- Fast self-serve onboarding across 110+ EOR markets, with the widest breadth of HRIS and productivity integrations in the category.
Watch-outs
- Does not publish a specific FX rate or spread. The Turkish Lira conversion cost is built into the rate. With TRY volatility, that undisclosed FX margin is a larger real-world cost than in most EOR corridors.
- Reserves its dedicated Slack or Teams support channel for the Enterprise tier (from $899). Standard support runs through a shared queue.
- Buyers report add-on charges and, in some cases, large upfront salary deposits for long-notice hires, though these are buyer accounts rather than published Deel terms.

#3
Remote
Best for: teams that want a polished self-serve product, strong owned-entity coverage in their core hiring markets and a mature benefits and IP offering, and are comfortable with a variable FX rate shown after the fact.
Remote is the strongest product-led alternative in the category. It markets a 100%-owned entity network across its 90+ EOR countries and runs a polished self-serve platform with mature benefits and IP-protection tooling. Turkiye falls within its broader 190+ location reach. Buyers should confirm whether Turkiye sits in the 90+ owned-EOR-entity tier or the wider partner-and-product layer, since Remote does not publish a country-by-country owned-versus-partner split.
Remote is more transparent than Deel on FX, but only after the fact. It applies a variable Remote FX rate to cross-currency lines and shows the rate used on the monthly invoice breakdown in the platform, with no published percentage. In a TRY corridor, after-the-fact visibility is better than none, though knowing the rate before payroll runs is better still. The $599 headline requires annual billing; month to month is $699.
The fit is a team that wants to run global hiring as a product rather than a service. Benefits administration and IP protection are genuinely strong, and the self-serve flows hold up as headcount scales. Model the variable FX on your real TRY salary volumes before committing. Against Deel you trade integration breadth for owned entities and a published readable base price.
- Countries
- 190+ locations, 90+ for full owned-entity EOR
- Entity model
- Owned-entity led in its core EOR countries, local partners and other products beyond
- Onboarding
- Dedicated onboarding specialist and a named customer success manager on every EOR plan
- Contractors
- Yes, tiered from $29 per contractor per month, with indemnity options
- Pricing
- $599 per month on annual billing ($699 month to month) · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.6/5 (591)
Strengths
- A polished self-serve platform with strong benefits administration and IP-protection tooling. The product experience is the strongest argument for choosing it.
- A 100%-owned entity network across its core 90+ EOR countries. Fewer partner hand-offs in the markets you hire in most.
- Published pricing in full: $599 on annual billing, $699 month to month. You can budget without a sales call.
- Dedicated onboarding specialist and a named customer success manager on the EOR plan, backed by in-house HR, legal and tax experts.
Watch-outs
- The $599 rate requires annual billing. Month to month is $699, so the comparable price depends on the commitment you can make.
- The Remote FX rate is a variable blended rate shown on the invoice after the fact, with no published percentage. In a TRY corridor you know the conversion rate once the invoice arrives, not before.
- Owned entities cover the core 90+ EOR markets. Confirm whether Turkiye falls on the owned or partner side, since Remote does not publish a country-by-country split.

#4
Oyster
Best for: smaller and fast-scaling teams that want fast automated onboarding, a flat published EOR price and a B-Corp supplier, with strong contractor tooling alongside.
Oyster is the automation-first alternative and a certified B-Corp. Its EOR product covers 120+ countries with a flat published price of $699 per employee per month. Onboarding is fast and clean, support is expert-led with a published SLA of 24-hour response and resolution under 72 hours, and a dedicated hiring success manager comes with the plan. A small team can run it without a payroll specialist in-house.
The watch-outs for a Turkiye hire are in the fine print. Oyster requires a refundable deposit to start an EOR engagement, with no amount published. It also charges a currency-conversion fee when the billing currency differs from the contract currency, with no rate published. In a TRY corridor those undisclosed costs carry more weight than in a stable-currency market. White-glove HR advisory is billed separately at $300 an hour.
It is a credible choice for a first-time EOR buyer or a fast-growing team adding headcount across several markets at once. The B-Corp certification carries weight with procurement teams that screen on values. The lifecycle path is lighter, with no productised route from EOR to your own Turkish entity.
- Countries
- 180+ all products, 120+ for EOR
- Entity model
- Hybrid, owned entities and local partners, no published split
- Onboarding
- Fast, automated, with a dedicated hiring success manager
- Contractors
- Yes, $29 per contractor per month, strong tooling
- Pricing
- $699 per employee per month, flat · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.4/5 (1447)
Strengths
- Expert-led support with a published SLA: 24-hour response and resolution under 72 hours, plus a dedicated hiring success manager. The onboarding column is the one Oyster leads.
- A certified B-Corp with a flat published EOR price of $699. No published setup, onboarding, HR-expert-access or termination charges.
- Strong contractor tooling at $29 per contractor per month, with payments in 120+ currencies and a misclassification test included.
- A healthy G2 review base (approximately 1,447 reviews) and its own SOC 2 Type II and GDPR posture.
Watch-outs
- Requires a refundable deposit to start an EOR engagement with no amount published, and charges a currency-conversion fee on any currency mismatch with no rate published. Both carry more weight in a TRY corridor.
- White-glove HR advisory is billed separately at $300 an hour. There is no productised path from EOR to your own Turkish limited sirket.
- Most EOR delivery runs through local partners, with no owned-entity count published for Turkiye specifically. Ask which of your countries are owned versus partner-served.

#5
Rippling
Best for: teams that want HR, IT and payroll on one unified platform and treat EOR as part of a broader people-and-IT stack rather than a standalone hiring tool.
Rippling is the alternative if you want to run HR, IT and payroll on one system. It is HRIS-first, with every customer on a single employee graph that spans devices, payroll and EOR. Rippling publishes 600+ integrations on that graph. EOR was added as a module rather than built as a pure-play, and country coverage at 80 EOR markets is materially lower than the dedicated EOR providers at roughly 180. Buyers should confirm whether Turkiye is in Rippling's current 80-country EOR set before building a shortlist.
EOR pricing is not published on Rippling's primary pages. A figure of about $499 per employee per month surfaces on Rippling's own blog comparison tables, on top of a base HR-platform fee. FX practice is not disclosed on any primary Rippling page reviewed, which matters more in a TRY corridor than in a stable-currency market. Buyers also report an undisclosed security deposit, though this does not appear in Rippling's published terms.
The consolidation thesis is the point. If you are buying an HRIS, device management and payroll anyway, EOR rides the same employee record and Rippling publishes a live entity-versus-EOR cost calculator. The gaps for a Turkiye-first hire are real: EOR maturity is lower than the pure-plays, country coverage needs confirming, and a base platform fee sits on top of the per-employee EOR charge.
- Countries
- 80 for EOR (185+ for contractor payments)
- Entity model
- Hybrid, owned subsidiaries and local partners, split not published
- Onboarding
- Fast, heavy self-serve
- Contractors
- Yes, contractor payments and Contractor-of-Record
- Pricing
- Not published on primary pages; about $499 on its own blog, plus an HR-platform base fee · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.8/5
Strengths
- The most powerful unified HR, IT and payroll platform on this list. Rippling publishes 600+ integrations on one employee graph, leading the platform column on this rubric.
- Fast, heavily automated self-serve onboarding and a live entity-versus-EOR cost calculator on the same system.
- Published support transparency with live rolling 90-day metrics and human-staffed chat, email and video, plus SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II both held.
- A distinct own-entity Global Payroll product for teams ready to move off EOR, with the same employee record carried across.
Watch-outs
- EOR coverage is 80 countries, materially lower than the dedicated EOR providers at roughly 180. Verify Turkiye is in that set before evaluating further.
- Does not publish EOR pricing on its primary pages. A figure of about $499 surfaces on its own blog, and a base HR-platform fee sits on top of the per-employee EOR charge.
- Built to replace your HR stack, which is more than a focused Turkiye hire needs. FX terms are not published on any primary page, and buyers report an undisclosed security deposit.

Papaya Global
Best for: enterprises that need payroll automation at scale across many countries and currencies, with one reporting layer and a licensed payments arm across all of it.
Papaya Global is the payroll-at-scale alternative, built for Fortune-500-scale buyers. It covers 160+ countries and runs a strong payroll-and-data backbone with 130+ payment currencies, plus a licensed payments arm. The platform is designed to sit alongside an existing Workday, SAP or Oracle stack rather than replace it. Turkiye sits within its 160+ country reach.
The EOR base starts from $499 per employee per month on its own pricing page. Most of the 160+ country footprint is partner-delivered: Papaya owns full EOR entities in only 40 countries, so Turkiye delivery may run through a vetted in-country accounting-firm partner. An FX processing fee applies on conversion, with no percentage published, and the wallet must be pre-funded with a buffer. For a Turkiye TRY corridor, that undisclosed FX processing fee is a meaningful watch-out.
For a finance team consolidating payroll across many countries, the backbone is the draw: one reporting layer, 130+ payment currencies and audit-ready filings. Price the full stack rather than the headline. Against Deel you trade self-serve simplicity for enterprise-grade payroll consolidation. Against Teamed, you trade Turkish employment-law advisory for enterprise payments infrastructure.
- Countries
- 160+ reach, owned full EOR entities in 40
- Entity model
- Hybrid, owned entities in 40 EOR countries, certified accounting-firm partners elsewhere
- Onboarding
- Weeks, enterprise-paced
- Contractors
- Yes, Contractor-of-Record from $295 per contractor per month, plus AI classification
- Pricing
- From $499 per employee per month (EOR); FX processing fee not published · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.5/5 (53)
Strengths
- A strong enterprise payroll and data backbone across 160+ countries and 130+ payment currencies, plus a licensed payments arm. Few providers consolidate multi-country payroll data at this scale.
- Mature automation and reporting for finance teams running multi-country payroll, with audit trails built in and a pre-funded wallet model.
- A broad named-connector catalogue covering Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM and NetSuite, so it slots into an enterprise stack without custom work.
- A deep certification set for procurement gates: ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, plus global equity administration through payroll.
Watch-outs
- Most of its footprint is partner-delivered. Owned full EOR entities in only 40 of its 160+ countries, so Turkiye delivery likely runs through an accounting-firm partner.
- An FX processing fee applies on conversion with no percentage published. In a TRY corridor that undisclosed cost carries real weight, and the wallet must also be pre-funded with a buffer.
- Built for Fortune-500 scale rather than fast-growing companies, with a thinner G2 review base (approximately 53 reviews) and a higher EOR price than the self-serve alternatives.

Globalization Partners (G-P)
Best for: large enterprises where broad reach, a deep certification stack and analyst recognition matter more than published pricing or onboarding speed.
G-P is the analyst-decorated enterprise incumbent. It markets 180+ country reach, 100+ legal entities and 200+ global partners, with a long track record. It positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities and brings one of the broadest compliance and security certification stacks in the category. (It markets itself as the number-one EOR by analysts; we report that as its own claim, not ours.)
For a fast-growing company it is usually heavyweight. EOR pricing is quote-only, with no per-employee figure on any of its own pages. Base-tier support leans on the G-P Assist AI assistant, while a dedicated customer success manager, quarterly reviews and direct access to G-P's HR and legal teams are reserved for the higher EOR Prime tier. Buyers report a pre-funding model of roughly one to two months of salary, though G-P does not disclose that publicly.
The case for G-P is governance at scale: a deep certification stack, a large in-country legal team and the procurement posture large organisations require. Procurement, security and legal reviews tend to pass it quickly, because it is built to be reviewed. Against Deel you trade published pricing, speed and base-tier human support for enterprise breadth and analyst recognition.
- Countries
- 180+ reach, 100+ legal entities and 200+ global partners
- Entity model
- Owned entities and an extensive partner network; no clean owned-only split published
- Onboarding
- Enterprise governance, AI-led base support
- Contractors
- Yes, self-serve contractor product at $39 per contractor per month
- Pricing
- Quote-only; no per-employee EOR price published · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.4/5 (1028)
Strengths
- Genuine enterprise-grade scale and reach: 180+ countries marketed, 100+ legal entities and 200+ global partners over a long track record.
- One of the deepest compliance and security certification stacks here: ISO 27001, 27017, 27018 and 42001, plus SOC 2 Type II, on a self-serve trust portal.
- A large in-country HR, legal and compliance team and strong analyst recognition, a trust signal for enterprise buyers.
- A transparent self-serve contractor product at $39 per contractor per month, with Wise-powered payments and AI misclassification checks.
Watch-outs
- Publishes no EOR per-employee price on any of its own pages, only a demo request and a Request a Proposal, so a like-for-like comparison requires a sales call.
- Base-tier support leans on the G-P Assist AI assistant. A dedicated customer success manager, quarterly reviews and direct HR and legal access are reserved for the higher EOR Prime tier.
- Buyers report a pre-funding model of roughly one to two months of salary, though G-P does not disclose deposit or pre-funding terms publicly.

Velocity Global (now Pebl)
Best for: companies that want broad reach and a simple flat published rate, and are comfortable with an AI-first support model and a quote-led contract.
Velocity Global rebranded to Pebl in September 2025 and repositioned as an AI-first global hiring platform. It has broad reach across 185+ countries with owned entities in 65 of them, and a deep platform with a broad integration catalogue across HRIS and finance. Its compliance posture is enterprise-grade, with an in-house legal team backed by Baker McKenzie.
On its own pricing page it publishes a single flat $399 per employee per month, the lowest flat published rate on this list, with no published FX terms and no contractor price. For a Turkiye hire, the absence of any FX disclosure is a notable watch-out given TRY volatility. Most of its reach is partner-served: 65 owned entities against 185+ countries, so Turkiye delivery likely runs through a local partner. Buyers and reviewers report an undisclosed FX spread and a refundable security deposit, though neither appears on the company pages.
Day-to-day support is AI-first through the Alfie assistant, backed by 200+ in-country experts. Against Deel you trade a settled product experience and base-tier human-first support for a low flat headline and broad reach. The customer experience is still settling after the September 2025 rebrand to Pebl.
- Countries
- 185+ reach, owned entities in 65
- Entity model
- Owned entities in 65 markets, in-country partners for the rest
- Onboarding
- AI-led, onboarding in as little as 24 hours claimed
- Contractors
- Yes, 180+ countries, no price published
- Pricing
- $399 per employee per month, flat (FX terms not published) · verified 2026-06-18
- G2
- 4.6/5
Strengths
- One of the widest published footprints here: 185+ countries including all 50 US states, with owned entities in 65.
- A simple flat published rate of $399 per employee per month, the lowest standard flat rate on this list, easy to compare at a glance.
- A broad integration catalogue across HRIS and finance, a centralised Global Work Platform and a contractor and global-equity offering.
- Enterprise-grade compliance: ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, plus an in-house legal team backed by Baker McKenzie.
Watch-outs
- Publishes no FX terms and no contractor price. For a Turkiye TRY corridor, the absence of any FX disclosure is a significant unknown. Buyers and reviewers report an undisclosed FX spread not shown on its pages.
- Most of its reach is partner-served: 65 owned entities against 185+ countries. Turkiye delivery likely runs through a local partner.
- Day-to-day support is AI-first through the Alfie assistant. The customer experience is still settling after the September 2025 rebrand to Pebl.

Why the shortlist matters
Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.
The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is what the ranking is really measuring.
What each stakeholder evaluates
| Criterion | Legal | Finance | People Ops | Security |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FX and TRY visibility | Ask for the FX policy in writing. Turkish Lira volatility makes the conversion methodology a material term, not a footnote. | Deel, Rippling and Velocity Global do not publish their FX terms for TRY conversions. Oyster charges an undisclosed currency-conversion fee on any currency mismatch. Papaya adds an undisclosed FX processing fee and pre-funding. Remote shows the rate on the invoice after the fact. Only Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup and shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice before it runs. With TRY volatility, the gap between a disclosed and an undisclosed FX margin is a larger real-world cost than in a EUR or GBP corridor. | An itemised TRY invoice avoids per-pay-period reconciliation work and builds trust with Turkish employees who typically discuss salaries net. | A timestamped conversion rate against a public mid-market reference is an auditable record. |
| Owned entity or partner in Turkiye | Ask whether the provider hires via an owned entity or a local partner in Turkiye specifically. The chain of legal employer responsibility differs, and it affects who handles an Is Kanunu dispute. | An owned entity removes a partner margin layer in Turkiye. Teamed owns a Turkish entity directly. Papaya owns only 40 EOR entities against 160+ reach, and Velocity Global owns 65 against 185+. Remote and G-P have large owned-entity networks but do not publish country-by-country splits. Ask per country. | Real HR and legal experts on Turkish Is Kanunu cases beat a generalist queue when a severance dispute or SGK query lands. | An owned entity means one data-processing chain rather than a partner sub-processor, which simplifies GDPR and Turkish data-protection compliance. |
| Is Kanunu expertise and severance | Severance under Is Kanunu 4857 accrues at 30 days of gross salary per year of service. Ask who handles the exit calculation and whether a real Turkish employment-law expert signs off on the termination, or whether it goes to a generalist queue. | A mis-calculated severance or a failed SGK remittance carries real penalties under Turkish law. The cost of getting it wrong exceeds the cost of the fee difference between providers. | Notice periods run from two to eight weeks depending on tenure. The EOR must reflect these correctly in the employee's Turkish-law contract and in payroll. | Correct SGK registration and a compliant Turkish employment contract from day one reduces regulatory exposure from the first hire. |
Decision checklist
- Read the small print before you sign. Most EORs require a deposit and many layer on setup, offboarding, minimum-term, no-exit, termination or admin fees. Teamed takes a one-month refundable deposit, charges no onboarding or offboarding fees (an early-exit fee may apply if you leave within 3 months, set out in your contract), and sets the costs out up front.
- Choose on Turkish compliance depth first if Is Kanunu expertise and SGK accuracy matter more than platform breadth. Teamed owns its Turkish entity and its real HR and legal experts handle Turkish labor law directly.
- Choose on FX transparency if TRY volatility is a concern. Teamed shows the conversion rate against the mid-market reference and absorbs it at zero markup. If you cannot see the FX on a TRY salary conversion, you cannot forecast the real cost.
- Stay with Deel if platform breadth, one of the broadest integration catalogues in the category and the market-leading brand outweigh a visible TRY invoice line.
- Choose Remote if a polished self-serve product, strong benefits and a large owned-entity network matter most, and annual billing is fine. Confirm whether Turkiye is in the owned or partner tier before committing.
- Choose Oyster if fast automated onboarding, a flat published price and a human support SLA are the priority, and you have checked the deposit and the currency-conversion fee for TRY.
- Choose Rippling if you want HR, IT and payroll on one platform and have confirmed Turkiye is in its 80-country EOR set.
- Choose Papaya Global if enterprise payroll automation at scale across many currencies is the priority and the TRY corridor is one of many, not the primary one.
- Choose G-P only if you are a large enterprise where reach, certifications and analyst recognition matter more than published pricing or speed.
- Choose Velocity Global (Pebl) for broad reach and a low flat published rate, if an AI-first support model suits you and you will pin down the FX and deposit terms before signing.
- Ask every provider two questions before committing for Turkiye. First: do you own the Turkish entity or work through a local partner? Second: can I see the TRY conversion rate on my invoice before it runs?
Honest take
When another provider on this list is the better choice.
- Stay with Deel if platform breadth, one of the deepest integration catalogues in the category and self-serve depth matter more than a visible TRY invoice line.
- Choose Remote if a polished product, a large owned-entity network and a strong benefits offering matter most, and annual billing is fine.
- Choose Rippling if you want your whole HR, IT and payroll stack on one platform and Turkiye is confirmed in its 80-country EOR set.
- Choose G-P or Papaya Global if you are an enterprise that needs owned-entity breadth or payroll-at-scale, and price is secondary.
- Choose Oyster or Velocity Global (Pebl) if a flat published rate and fast onboarding are the priority, and you have checked the deposit and FX terms.
Teamed leads Turkish compliance depth, cost transparency and the lifecycle to your own entity, not every column. A buyer with different priorities should pick differently. We would rather lose the deal than mismatch the engagement.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best EOR provider for hiring in Turkiye in 2026?
There is no single best. It depends on your priority. Teamed leads on Turkish compliance depth (it owns its Turkish entity), cost transparency with TRY visibility and the path to your own limited sirket. Deel leads on platform and integrations. Remote leads on self-serve polish and a large owned-entity network. Oyster leads on onboarding. Rippling is the platform pick if you need HR, IT and payroll unified, once you confirm Turkiye is in its 80-country EOR set. Papaya Global and G-P suit enterprise scale. The most useful question for any provider: can you see the TRY conversion rate on your invoice, and does a real Turkish employment-law expert handle the hard cases?How do EOR providers handle Turkish Lira (TRY) currency conversion?
Most don't disclose it. Deel, Rippling and Velocity Global publish no FX rate or spread. Oyster charges a currency-conversion fee when billing and contract currencies differ, with no rate published. Papaya Global adds an FX processing fee, also undisclosed. Remote shows the applied Remote FX rate on the monthly invoice after the fact, but publishes no percentage. Only Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup and shows the applied conversion rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice. In a Turkish Lira corridor, where the currency has experienced sustained high inflation and devaluation, an undisclosed FX margin is a larger real-world cost than in a EUR or GBP one. Ask every provider to show you the FX policy in writing before you sign.What are the key Turkish labor law rules an EOR must handle?
Three stand out. First, SGK (Social Security Institution) contributions: employer-side runs approximately 20 to 22% of gross salary, covering pension, general health insurance, short-term insurance and unemployment. The EOR must register each employee and remit correctly. Second, severance pay under Is Kanunu 4857: employees with at least one year of qualifying service are entitled to 30 days of gross salary per completed year of service on qualifying terminations. The ceiling is reset each January. Third, notice periods: they run from two weeks for employees with under six months of service to eight weeks for employees with more than three years. Every EOR must reflect these correctly in the Turkish employment contract, and a real Turkish employment-law expert should handle any contested exit.Does Teamed own its own entity in Turkiye?
Yes. Turkey is one of Teamed's 57 owned-entity countries (confirmed 2026-06-17). Turkish staff are employed directly through Teamed's Turkish entity rather than via a local partner chain. That matters for three reasons in Turkiye. First, there is no partner margin layer in the employment chain. Second, real HR and legal experts with Turkish employment-law depth handle Is Kanunu terminations, severance calculations and SGK compliance directly. Third, it simplifies the data-processing chain for GDPR and Turkish data-protection compliance. For any provider, asking whether they own the entity in the specific country you hire in is the right question. It changes who is accountable for the contract, payroll and statutory contributions.Is Rippling available for EOR in Turkiye?
Rippling's EOR covers 80 countries, materially lower than the dedicated EOR providers at roughly 180. We could not confirm on primary Rippling pages whether Turkiye falls within those 80. Confirm directly with Rippling before including it in your shortlist for a Turkiye hire. If Turkiye is in scope, Rippling is a strong choice for teams that need HR, IT and payroll on one system, with the caveat that EOR is a newer module rather than its core product. EOR pricing is not published on primary pages: a figure of about $499 surfaces on its own blog, and a base HR-platform fee sits on top.What is an EOR and why use one in Turkiye?
An Employer of Record in Turkiye legally employs your people through its own Turkish entity or a vetted local partner, so you can hire compliantly before you have a limited sirket of your own. The EOR issues the Turkish employment contract, registers the employee with the SGK, runs payroll in Turkish Lira, remits income tax and social contributions, and carries the employer obligations under Is Kanunu 4857. You direct the day-to-day work. Companies use an EOR in Turkiye to test the market without committing to entity setup, to comply with Is Kanunu severance and notice-period rules from the first hire, and to avoid the SGK registration process independently. The EOR model typically makes most sense at up to around five to ten employees in Turkiye; beyond that, the monthly per-employee fee often exceeds the cost of running your own limited sirket.How current is this comparison and how was it scored?
Every competitor figure is read from the Teamed competitor fact-cache, last verified on 18 June 2026 against each provider's own pricing page and G2. Turkiye statutory contribution rates reference sgk.gov.tr and Is Kanunu 4857 on resmigazete.gov.tr. Each of the eight providers is scored 1 to 5 on five criteria tailored to Turkiye's employment environment. There is no weighted total and no overall winner. We review the page quarterly and re-verify pricing monthly. The last reviewed date sits at the top.
Common questions
Which EOR is best for hiring in Turkiye?
It depends on your priority. Teamed owns its Turkish entity and is the advisory pick: FX shown against mid-market at zero markup, real Turkish employment-law experts on every plan, and one system from contractor to EOR to your own entity via GEMO. Deel is the platform pick. Remote suits owned-entity and self-serve buyers. Oyster leads onboarding. Rippling suits HR/IT/payroll consolidation if Turkiye is in its EOR set. Papaya and G-P suit enterprise scale.How does TRY currency volatility affect EOR costs in Turkiye?
TRY volatility amplifies the FX cost question more than in most EOR corridors. Most providers do not disclose their rate or spread. Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup and shows it against mid-market on every invoice. Remote shows the rate after the fact. All others either publish nothing or charge an undisclosed fee. On a TRY corridor, an undisclosed margin is a larger real-world cost than on a EUR or GBP one. Ask for the FX policy in writing.
