Amendment to the Personnel Regulation of Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation amends Article 2 (Provisional) of the TPAO Personnel Regulation originally published on 29 November 2006 (Official Gazette No. 26361). The amendment extends the deadline for a specific transitional employment arrangement from 31 December 2025 to 31 December 2026, giving TPAO an additional year to manage personnel under this transitional clause. In addition to extending the deadline, the amendment changes the mandatory nature of the employment arrangement. The phrase 'shall be employed' (çalıştırılması esastır) has been softened to 'may be employed' (çalıştırılabilir), granting TPAO management discretionary authority rather than an obligation when deploying personnel under this transitional provision. The regulation entered into force on its publication date of 26 March 2026, but takes retroactive effect from 1 January 2026. It is to be executed by the General Manager of Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı.
