Dear employees,

Regarding the personnel shuttle service currently provided for our staff with civil servant status under the Civil Servants Law No. 657, a necessity has arisen to terminate this service on January 30, 2026, within the scope of the Presidential Circular on Austerity Measures No. 2024/7.

Starting from this date, a monthly transportation support payment will be implemented for our employees with civil servant status, in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement dated April 1, 2024.

For our personnel working under the Statutory Decree (KHK) who currently benefit or do not benefit from this service, the monthly transportation support payment, which is already being provided under the collective bargaining agreement dated July 1, 2024, will continue.
