Expanding to Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan possesses vast natural gas reserves and expanding infrastructure, offering unique business opportunities across energy, construction, logistics, and technical consulting.

An EOR solution enables foreign businesses to legally employ local specialists without foreign branch registration or navigating complex state administrative filings independently.

Employment Regulations in Turkmenistan

Under the Labour Code, standard working hours are 40 hours per week (8 hours per day for a 5-day week, or 7 hours for a 6-day week). Probation periods are capped at 3 months. Termination requires valid statutory cause and formal written notice ranging from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Taxation and Employee Benefits

Employers pay social pension insurance contributions (approx. 20% to the Pension Fund of Turkmenistan). Mandatory benefits include 24 calendar days of paid annual leave (scaling with tenure/sector), public holiday pay, and paid sick leave.

Turkmen Payroll Standards

Payroll is distributed on a monthly schedule in TMT. Employers withhold Personal Income Tax (PIT) and remit social security contributions directly to the State Tax Service and Pension Fund by statutory deadlines.

Intellectual Property and Data Security

Intellectual property rights for work products created by employees in the performance of their contractual duties vest in the employer under domestic civil legislation.
