Turkish NationalsA Turkish National has to have been admitted to and must have been allowed to work under UK domestic law. This could, however; go well beyond those who have obtained a Work Permit and include au pairs and others allowed to work incidental to their primary activity. The scheme operates in these terms:One year legal employment gives the Turkish worker a right to have his or her right to work renewed for the same employer and to have his or her leave to remain renewed in line. A Turkish National can only benefit from this right if he or she has been employed with the same employer for a whole year; Three years legal employment entitles a Turkish worker to a further renewal. At this stage the employer may be altered, however this occupation pursued must remain the same. Again, there is an entitlement to have the right of residence renewed in line with the right to work. In order to benefit form this right the Turkish National must have been employed with the same employer for three continuous years. If the Turkish worker has changed employment within the three years, she or he will fall outside the benefit provided by decision 1/80. After four years of legal employment, a Turkish worker is entitled to free access to the Labour Market. This includes a right to give up his or her job and to be a job seeker for a reasonable period of time, probably similar to that allowed for Job Seeking EEA Nationals. When calculating the period of time that has been spent in “Legal Employment”, time “clocked up” solely as a result of a pending appeal will not be counted unless and until the appeal has been successful.For assistance in qualifying as a Turkish National please contact us. |
