Legal Support for Employees

Non-payment of an employee’s wages, failure to compensate overtime, unjustified dismissal or unlawful changes to working conditions may result in the loss of rights. In such cases, it is important to determine the employee’s receivables, assess the legal nature of the termination and make the necessary applications within the applicable time limits.

Attorney Yıldız Şahin provides legal support in calculating employee receivables, filing mediation applications, conducting reinstatement and receivables actions, and preparing applications to appellate courts.

Legal Support for Employers

Employers’ compliance with legislation when implementing employment contracts, human resources practices and termination procedures is important for reducing potential future disputes and financial risks.

In this context, legal consultancy is provided for preparing employment contracts and workplace documents, assessing disciplinary and performance processes from a legal perspective, drafting termination notices and resolving disputes with employees.

For many claims in employment law, applying to a mediator before filing a lawsuit is a condition of bringing an action. Therefore, it is necessary to participate in mediation meetings prepared, determine the claims correctly and assess the legal consequences of any potential settlement.

Attorney Yıldız Şahin conducts the process in employment law disputes in accordance with the principles of confidentiality, diligence and legal security, clearly and comprehensibly setting out the parties’ rights and obligations. Since each dispute is unique, the legal course to be followed is determined within the framework of the specific circumstances of the matter and the current legislation.
