Sakarya University (SAU), operating as a public institution, maintains a steadfast commitment to upholding and fully recognizing the union and labor rights of its entire workforce, explicitly including women and international personnel, throughout the 2024 operational year. The framework for employment practices is legally grounded in national legislation, such as the Civil Servants Law No. 657 and the Higher Education Law No. 2547, which secures the rights of all public servants and mandates equal pay for equal work. Fundamentally, the University recognizes the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining, as evidenced by the fact that the determination of salaries, annual inflation raises, and core employee benefits are the result of negotiations between the Turkish government and official trade unions at the national level. The University’s policies confirm that fundamental entitlements—such as annual leave, additional wages, promotion, and raises—are uniformly applied nationwide to every public servant, irrespective of their role at SAU. Furthermore, the institution's Human Resources policy enforces strict non-discrimination principles: employee rights are identical for all staff, with classification and discrimination based on gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, or race being strictly forbidden and treated as disciplinary offenses. This comprehensive commitment extends to ensuring that services procured through outsourcing follow strict rules, guaranteeing that outsourced employees also have equivalent rights and that SAU monitors compliance, confirming a comprehensive recognition of worker rights across all employment categories within the institution during the 2024 period.
