A Turkey-focused employee time tracking setup should give you a clear weekly record for each worker: start and end times, breaks, total hours, project or cost center, and manager approval. The immediate job is practical. You need a record that supports payroll review, overtime checks, labor-cost reporting, and a defensible explanation if an employee questions the calculation.
Turkey has domestic rules requiring employers to track and document employees' working time. That requirement comes from Turkish labor law, not from the EU CJEU working-time-recording framework. Turkish Labour Law No. 4857 sets the standard weekly working time at 45 hours unless the employment contract sets a lower weekly schedule, so the app must make the agreed schedule visible before anyone approves the week.
The record should separate ordinary scheduled hours, extra-hours work, overtime, breaks, paid time not worked, and corrections. Work above 45 hours in a week is overtime in Turkey and is paid at the employee's hourly rate plus 50%. If the agreed weekly schedule is below 45 hours, time above that schedule and up to 45 hours is extra-hours work with a 25% premium.
Daily limits also matter. Where working time is distributed unevenly across workdays, daily working time may not exceed 11 hours. Minimum rest breaks are 15 minutes for work of 4 hours or less, 30 minutes for work over 4 and up to 7.5 hours, and 1 hour for work over 7.5 hours. A clean timesheet shows those breaks before payroll uses the totals.
Turkey pages need local settings that match the people using the records. Employee names, departments, approval notes, and internal policies often need Turkish-language workflows. Payroll, billing, and labor-cost reporting should use Turkish lira amounts, commonly shown with TL or ₺, so finance teams do not have to translate records into the reporting currency later.
Annual overtime tracking is a separate control, not just a weekly payroll detail. The total amount of overtime work for an employee may not exceed 270 hours in a year. A useful setup keeps a running annual overtime total by employee, flags weeks that push a worker close to the cap, and keeps manual corrections visible in the approval history.
A free one-off tool is enough when you need to total one week, check a specific employee's hours, or prepare a small payroll note. It stops being enough once teams work across clients, projects, locations, or managers. At that point, the business needs submitted timesheets, approval status, correction history, exports, and reporting that connects hours to payroll or billing handoff.
Everhour fits the managed workflow when employee hours must become reports, budgets, invoices, or project profitability views. Teams can track time against tasks and projects, then use reporting to group records by member, project, client, date range, billable time, labor cost, and invoice status. That gives managers a repeatable process instead of a weekly spreadsheet cleanup.

Yes. Turkey has domestic rules requiring employers to track and document employees' working time. The record should show daily work time, breaks, weekly totals, and any approved corrections. This is a Turkish labor-law requirement, separate from the EU CJEU working-time-recording obligation that applies in EU contexts.
The app should separate ordinary scheduled hours, extra-hours work, and overtime. Under Turkish Labour Law No. 4857, weekly working time is generally capped at 45 hours unless a lower contractual weekly schedule applies. Hours above a lower agreed schedule and up to 45 hours carry a 25% premium, while work over 45 hours carries a 50% premium.
Managers should review the 11-hour daily limit when working time is distributed unevenly across workdays and the 270-hour annual overtime cap for each employee. Weekly approval alone can miss a worker who stays within one week's payroll rules but accumulates overtime too quickly across the year.
Turkey's Data Protection Board decided on April 29, 2026, that biometric data processing for attendance tracking generally does not satisfy proportionality where less intrusive alternatives are available. PINs, password cards, RFID or NFC cards, signatures, paper attendance sheets, and supervised manual entry are examples of less intrusive options named in that decision.
Employee time records and attendance data are personal data under Law No. 6698, known as KVKK. Employers should process that data for specified legitimate purposes, give employee notice, keep only what is needed, protect access, and avoid monitoring that is disproportionate to the timekeeping purpose.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into customizable reports. Managers can use 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF to review employee hours, overtime visibility, billable time, labor costs, and project records before payroll or billing.
Everhour Timesheets let employees submit weekly project hours or working hours for review, then managers can approve, reject, or partially approve the submitted time. Approved time stays locked for regular members, which keeps payroll and billing records from changing after review.
Use Everhour Reporting to group employee time by person, project, client, and date range, then export clean records for payroll, billing, and Turkey labor-cost review.
