The Foundation of the Professional Relationship
An Employment Contract (İş Sözleşmesi) is a legally binding agreement that defines the rights, duties, and protections of both the employer and the employee. In an increasingly globalized workforce, these contracts are the primary documents for work permit applications, international transfers, and labor law compliance.
In the legal world, every comma and verb matters. A mistranslated clause regarding “Non-compete,” “Notice Periods,” or “Severance Pay” can lead to expensive lawsuits, the rejection of a work visa, or the loss of employee benefits. Translating these documents requires a deep mastery of Labor Law, Corporate Governance, and Contractual Syntax.

Legal Rigor and Confidentiality: Our Process
Employment contracts contain sensitive personal and financial data. Our process is designed for total legal integrity and security:
Legal Subject-Matter Experts: Your contract is handled by a Sworn Translator specializing in labor and commercial law. They ensure that terms like “Gross Salary,” “Social Security Contributions,” and “Termination for Just Cause” are translated using their exact legal equivalents in the target country.
ISO 17100:2015 Quality Standards:
- Clause-by-Clause Audit: We ensure that the specific obligations of both parties are rendered without ambiguity, maintaining the balance of the original contract.
- Data Integrity: Meticulous cross-checking of salary figures, working hours, trial periods, and dates of employment.
Confidentiality & Data Protection: We operate under strict non-disclosure protocols and comply with GDPR and KVKK standards to protect the privacy of both the executive and the corporation.
Certified & Sworn Translation: We provide official sworn translations required by Ministries of Labor, Consulates, and Foreign Banks.

Why Precision Matters for Expats and Global HR
For an employee moving abroad or a company hiring international talent, the contract is the ultimate proof of intent. We focus on:
Work Permit Compliance: We ensure the translation meets the specific linguistic requirements of the target country’s immigration office (e.g., terms required by the ZAV in Germany or the Home Office in the UK).
Localizing Legal Concepts: While we maintain the original intent, we provide the necessary context so that concepts like “Kıdem Tazminatı” or “SGK” in Turkey are understood by foreign HR departments.
Visual Integrity: We mirror the layout of the original document, ensuring signature blocks, company seals, and Annexes are perfectly aligned.
