In Turkey, the abbreviation 'SSI' stands for 'Social Security Institution,' which is the Türkiye Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu (SGK) in Turkish. The SSI is responsible for overseeing and managing various social security programs and benefits, including health insurance, retirement, and disability benefits, for the citizens of Turkey. It plays a crucial role in ensuring the social welfare and security of the Turkish population.

Note that social security contributions are calculated based on employees’ monthly gross pay and are capped. These premiums must be paid by the employer and the employee at rates defined according to labour categories.
