THE OMBUDSMAN INSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF TÜRKİYE

7.14 PUBLIC PERSONNEL REGIME

By analyzing the public personnel system in Türkiye, it can be seen that in line with
historical developments, the public personnel system in Türkiye has been established in
the fields of administrative, academic, military and judicial personnel, and each field was
regulated by separate legal texts. Administrative personnel work in accordance with the
Civil Servants Law No. 657, academic personnel with the Higher Education Personnel
Law No. 2914, judges and prosecutors with the Law on Judges and Prosecutors No.
2802, and military personnel with the Turkish Armed Forces Personnel Law No. 926.

In that manner, within the scope of the Directive on the Division of Work of the
Ombudsmen, complaint applications received by the Ombudsman Institution in
the field of Public Personnel Regime (with the exception of Turkish Armed Forces
personnel and employees working in the status of workers in the administration) are
grouped under the following headings:
• Recruitment of personnel (problems due to not being appointed as a public
servant, quota restrictions)

• Appointment, transfer, assignment and relocation
• Duties, responsibilities, general rights and prohibitions

• Progress and promotion
• Evaluation of personnel

• Financial rights, social rights and benefits
• Disciplinary penalties and termination of employment

• Contracted and temporary personnel issues
• Personnel within the scope of privatization

• Personnel cadre and/or positions
• Exams for recruitment of public personnel (written and oral examinations held
by the institutions regarding the recruitment of personnel)

• Complaints about the attitudes and behaviors of public personnel (including
mobbing and ill-treatment)
The aforementioned applications are examined and evaluated with reference to
the Constitution of Türkiye, Civil Servants Law No. 657 and other laws, relevant
regulations, judicial decisions and Turkish Constitutional Court decisions.
