Bill Providing an Actual Service Period Increase for Construction Workers Sent to Committee
The bill, whose first signatory is Zülküf Uçar, Van Member of Parliament from the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party, aims to grant construction workers an actual service period increase. The bill was submitted to the Presidency on 23 October 2026 and referred on 27 October 2026 to the Plan and Budget Committee and the Health, Family, Labour and Social Affairs Committee. The bill is currently awaiting action in committee.
What does it mean?
If this bill is passed, construction workers could have more time counted toward their pension for each year they work than the time they actually worked. However, because the bill is still in committee, this does not apply at the moment. The text does not say exactly how the increase would be calculated.
Who is affected?
Workers in the construction sector and holders of pension rights under social security coverage.
