Efforts to address wage imbalances between different statuses and titles in the public sector have been included in the 2027 Presidential Annual Program. The program, published in the repeated issue of the Official Gazette dated October 27, 2026, aims to bring the public personnel wage system into a simpler and more standardized structure.
The measures under the "Human Resources in the Public Sector" heading of the program state that the current salary structure will be re-evaluated by considering the balance of duties, authority, and responsibilities. The regulation is expected to begin with analyses regarding the income structure of public personnel working under different employment forms.
Studies will be conducted to create a new and simplified public personnel wage system by analyzing the wage systems of all public personnel employed in different statuses, based on the job difficulty, authority, and responsibility levels of the titles.
Coordination and responsibility for the preparations of the new wage system have been assigned to the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye General Secretariat. The Ministry of Labor and Social Security, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, and the Presidency of Strategy and Budget will also participate in the process as stakeholder institutions.
In the first phase of the model, it is expected that income analyses of different employment statuses in public institutions will be conducted, followed by the creation of a simpler salary scale based on a job and responsibility map by title. The implementation calendar is expected to become clear after the technical studies are completed.
