Labour Inspection in Türkiye

Labor inspection is a fundamental element of labor management system, ensuring the implementation of labor policies, providing feedback, and allowing for the necessary revision of these policies. In recent years, the effectiveness of public units conducting labor inspections has been limited, particularly in reaching disadvantaged groups and bringing informal employment into the formal sector, due to the proliferation of flexible employment forms. The International Labour Organization (ILO) works to strengthen labor inspection systems to ensure the more effective application of labor law, social security law, and occupational health and safety law through the promotion of international labor standards. In this study, the ILO standards for labor inspection and the duties of Social Security Institution Inspectors, Social Security Auditors, and Ministry of Labour and Social Security Labor Inspectors in Türkiye are examined within the framework of the relevant legislation.
