Minimum
wage in Turkey to go up by about 22%
The monthly net income for
Turkish workers will be about TL 2,826 ($377). Starting January 1, 2021,
Turkey’s minimum wage will rise by about 22 per cent — 21.56 per cent to be
precise. That means, the monthly net minimum wage will be about 2,826 Turkish
Liras or $377, according to the Labour Ministry. The national minimum wage
(NMW) of any country is the minimum amount (lowest salary) per hour, per day,
or per month that employers can legally pay to workers. While the rate of
increase is more than the country’s annual inflation rate, Turk-Is, the
country’s biggest labour federation feels this increase is hardly adequate.
About 50 per cent of the workers in Turkey, which has a population of 83
million, earn a monthly salary, which is either minimum wage or close to it, as
revealed in a research by DISK, the Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions
of Turkey. The new minimum wage is more important for employees in these
troubled times. With the hike, the net minimum wage for single people, which
was earlier 2,324 Turkish Liras or $310 earlier, will go up to 2,826 Turkish
liras ($377) a month. The gross minimum wage, before deductions such as social
security premiums and income taxes, will touch 3,578 Turkish Liras ($477.3).

NRA to conduct Common
Eligibility Test for Central govt jobs
Starting 2021, the national
recruitment agency or NRA will conduct the CET to shortlist candidates for
Group B and C (non-technical) posts. The youth of India can look
forward to a Common Eligibility Test (CET) for selection to various central
government jobs next year. With effect from 2021, the National Recruitment
Agency (NRA), a multi-agency body, will conduct the CET to screen and shortlist
candidates for government jobs, primarily Group B and C posts, which are
non-technical. There will be at least one examination centre in each district,
which will make it very convenient for candidates from remote areas to appear
for the test. This will also ensure that youth across the country are given equal
opportunity, irrespective of their social status or location. This will be of
particular benefit to women and persons with disabilities (PwD), who may
otherwise find it difficult to travel to examination centres in the cities
frequently to appear for multiple tests. The first CET will take place late
next year. The NRA will serve as an independent autonomous body shouldering the
complete responsibility of shortlisting candidates for specific categories, the
recruitment for which is done via Staff Selection Commission (SSC), State
Selection Boards (RRBs) and Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS).
