FCHAIN Türkiye informs:
A new regulation has been introduced for employees eligible for early retirement through “Fiili Hizmet Süresi Zammı (FHSZ)”, a form of service time credit for working under hazardous or challeging conditions.
Social Security Institution (SGK) now requires proof from employees in hundreds of professions — ranging from managers to fish wholesalers — that they are indeed working under such conditions to qualify for early retirement.
The full list, covering 98 pages of occupational groups, will require documented evidence starting from April 2025.

Regulation by the Social Security Institution (SGK)
A general communiqué published by SGK previously imposed restrictions on occupational codes used in declarations from workplaces subject to FHSZ.
As a result of SGK’s new review, professions under 4/a employment status that can no longer be reported for early retirement benefits via FHSZ have been identified.
Purpose Was Earlier Retirement
This regulation aims to prevent the use of restricted occupation codes for reporting FHSZ under 4/a employment during monthly SGK declarations.
If an employer attempts to file an FHSZ-based declaration under one of the restricted occupation codes using APHB/MUHSGK, the system will issue an error message.
