Özet:

Foreign investors refer to different ways while performing their activities in Turkey. Foreign investors either can establish their companies directly in Turkey and open needed branch offices or they can establish a liaison office with objectives such as doing market research and/or providing technical and administrative support to distributors who realize reselling of products and solutions inside the country. These investments contribute to developing countries, such as the closure of capital outflows, the need for foreign exchange, and the increase in employment. In this context, the Foreign Direct Investment Law was adopted in order to encourage foreign investments in our country. The subject of our study consist of established liaison offices; referred ways by foreign investors, which do not have any commercial activity objectives. The liaison office is concerned with many legal fields, but also is a subject of labor law with regards to the employment of the employed personnel. The liaison office has been the subject of judicial decisions at the point of the legal character of the employed, therefore, at the point of employment security and workmanship receivables. In our study, first of all, the general corporate principles and fields of activity of the liaison offices will be examined and then the foreign investor, the liaison office and the employees will be examined in terms of the basic concepts of the Labor Law.
