Use this page to create a working-time record for people employed in Turkey, then review the week before payroll, client billing, or internal cost reporting. The practical output is a clean set of daily entries: employee, date, work period, break time, project or client, billable status, and notes for corrections. For Turkey, Turkish-language labels and Turkish lira amounts keep payroll and billing review familiar.
The Turkish angle matters because Turkish Labour Law No. 4857 generally caps weekly working time at 45 hours unless a lower contractual weekly schedule applies. A record that separates agreed hours, extra-hours work up to 45 hours, and overtime above 45 hours gives payroll a better basis than one undifferentiated weekly total.
Start with the facts that identify the work: employee name or ID, department, date, scheduled day, actual start time, actual finish time, and break duration. Add the work context that drives reporting: project, client, task, location if relevant, billable or non-billable status, and the person who approved the entry. Keep corrections visible through notes instead of replacing the original story.
Break detail matters in Turkey because minimum rest breaks change with shift length: 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. Daily totals also need a limit check, since unevenly distributed working time may not exceed 11 hours in a day.
Set separate labels for regular hours, extra-hours work, and overtime. In Turkey, work over an agreed weekly schedule and up to 45 hours receives a 25% premium when the agreed weekly schedule is below 45 hours. Work exceeding 45 hours in a week is overtime and is paid at the employee's hourly rate plus 50%.
Add a year-to-date overtime view alongside weekly warnings, because an employee's overtime work may not exceed 270 hours in a year. Treat time and attendance records as personal data under Law No. 6698, the KVKK, with lawful processing, specified legitimate purposes, proportionality, limited retention, employee notice, and data security measures.
A one-off log is enough for a small, low-change review: a single week, a limited group, no client allocation, and no recurring approval cycle. It works when the person preparing payroll only needs daily hours, breaks, and notes, then stores the finished file only as long as needed under the employer's retention policy without rebuilding project history.
A managed workflow fits when time records feed payroll checks, client billing, project budgets, and management reports every month. Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, and exports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for repeatable review across Turkish teams.

Yes. Turkey has domestic rules requiring employers to track and document employees' working time. The obligation comes from Turkish labor-law requirements, including Turkish Labour Law No. 4857, rather than from the EU CJEU working-time-recording line of cases. Keep employee records organized by day.
Use three categories: agreed schedule hours, extra-hours work, and overtime. For an employee whose agreed weekly schedule is below 45 hours, work above that schedule and up to 45 hours receives a 25% premium. Work exceeding 45 hours in a week is overtime and is paid at the hourly rate plus 50%.
Record actual start time, finish time, and breaks so daily totals can be checked against Turkey's 11-hour daily limit for unevenly distributed working time. Break checks need the shift length: 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.
Weekly overtime flags catch immediate payroll issues. Turkey also limits an employee's overtime work to 270 hours in a year. A year-to-date view helps managers stop scheduling excess overtime before the cap is breached and gives payroll a clear audit trail for accumulated overtime.
Use biometric attendance only with extreme caution. On April 29, 2026, the Turkish Data Protection Board decided that biometric data processing for attendance tracking does not satisfy proportionality where less intrusive alternatives can be used, including PIN, password card, RFID/NFC card, signature, paper attendance sheets, or supervised manual entry.
Everhour Reporting lets teams build time reports with 45+ columns, metadata filters, grouping, date ranges, and conditional formatting. Managers can download CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF files, or schedule recurring email reports for payroll, client billing, or project review in one review cycle.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let managers approve, reject, or partially approve submitted time. Submitted and approved time is locked for regular members, which protects the record before payroll or billing uses it.
Use Everhour Reporting to group logged time by member, project, client, and date range, then export CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF files for cleaner payroll and billing review.
