The Regulation on Amending the Remote Work Regulation, prepared by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, was published in the Official Gazette dated September 25, 2026, and entered into force.
With the regulation, a new paragraph has been added to Article 9 of the Remote Work Regulation. Accordingly, it may be decided that a portion of the work that can be performed remotely will be carried out at the workplace, while the other portion will be carried out using the remote work method.
In this practice, the days on which the employee will work at the workplace and the days they will work remotely, as well as working hours, will be determined in the employment contract. Thus, the principles regarding the hybrid work arrangement will be clearly included in the contract text.
The Minister of Labor and Social Security will be responsible for the implementation of the regulation's provisions. The amendment entered into force as of the date of its publication.
