A timesheet app in Turkey should help you produce a weekly record of actual working time, rest breaks, overtime, and extra-hours work. Turkish Labour Law No. 4857 generally caps weekly working time at 45 hours unless a lower contractual weekly schedule applies. Work above 45 hours in a week is overtime and carries the employee's hourly rate plus 50%.
The same record should also show whether an employee worked above an agreed lower weekly schedule but stayed at or below 45 hours. Those hours are extra-hours work in Turkey and carry a 25% premium. A clean timesheet separates regular hours, extra-hours work, overtime, rest breaks, leave, and corrections so payroll does not have to rebuild the week from chat messages or manager notes.
A practical Turkish timesheet starts with the basics: employee name, role or department, date, start time, end time, unpaid breaks, paid working time, project or cost center, approval status, and manager comments. Daily totals matter because uneven schedules still face an 11-hour daily working-time limit. Break records matter too, since minimum rest breaks are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour depending on shift length.
Payroll and billing records in Turkey should use Turkish lira amounts, commonly shown as TL or ₺. For a service team, a line can show 42 regular hours, 3 extra-hours work hours, and 2 overtime hours for the same employee in one week. That structure keeps the contractual schedule, the 45-hour threshold, and the payroll treatment visible in one place.
Turkey's KVKK treats employee time records and attendance data as personal data. A timesheet app should collect the fields needed for working-time, payroll, billing, and management purposes, then protect that data with lawful processing, specified legitimate purposes, proportionality, limited retention, employee notice, and data security measures. Activity monitoring adds privacy risk when basic time entry, approval, and reporting already answer the payroll question.
Biometric attendance needs special 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 options are available. Practical alternatives include PIN, password card, RFID or NFC card, signature, paper attendance sheets, and supervised manual entry. A timesheet workflow should favor those lower-intrusion methods for ordinary attendance control.
A free weekly total is enough when you need a quick number for one employee, one pay period, or one client invoice. It stops being enough when a team needs approvals, corrections, annual overtime monitoring, project cost reporting, and a clear handoff to payroll or billing. Turkey's 270-hour annual overtime cap makes cumulative tracking especially important.
A managed workflow gives you a system of record: employees submit time, managers review exceptions, administrators lock approved periods, and payroll receives organized totals. Everhour fits that ongoing workflow through team settings, approvals, project assignments, member limits, and role-based administration. The value is control, especially when Turkish records must connect daily work, weekly thresholds, and year-to-date overtime.

Yes. Turkey has domestic labour-law rules requiring employers to track and document employees' working time. This is a Turkish requirement, separate from the EU CJEU working-time-recording framework. A useful timesheet records actual daily hours, break time, weekly totals, approval status, and corrections so the employer can support payroll and overtime review.
A Turkish timesheet should separate regular contractual hours, extra-hours work, and overtime. Work above an agreed schedule but up to 45 hours in a week is extra-hours work with a 25% premium. Work exceeding 45 hours in a week is overtime and is paid at the employee's hourly rate plus 50%.
Turkey caps total overtime for an employee at 270 hours in a year. Weekly timesheets that only show the current pay period miss the cumulative risk. A better record keeps overtime totals by employee across the year, so managers can spot approaching limits before scheduling more overtime or approving additional work.
Biometric attendance data is generally a poor fit for ordinary timekeeping in Turkey. On April 29, 2026, the Turkish Data Protection Board found biometric processing disproportionate for attendance tracking where less intrusive alternatives can be used. PINs, password cards, RFID or NFC cards, signatures, paper sheets, and supervised manual entry are listed alternatives.
Turkish-language workflows and Turkish lira reporting matter. Turkey's official state language is Turkish, and local payroll, billing, and labor-cost records are expected to show amounts in Turkish lira, commonly as TL or ₺. Date, approval, and employee fields should also be clear enough for local managers and payroll staff to review without translation work.
Everhour Team Management gives administrators lock rules, admin time correction, personal tracking limits, weekly capacity, approval workflows, roles, project assignments, team groups, and team-wide time policy defaults. Teams can use those controls to keep submitted time stable before payroll, billing, or management reports use it.
Set rules, review submissions, lock approved periods, and organize team time before payroll or billing. Everhour Team Management gives Turkish teams a clearer approval workflow and tighter timesheet control.
