Short answer

A lawsuit alone does not confer the right to work; residence and work status must be managed separately. We plan temporary status options together with you.

No. Bringing a case does not by itself confer the right to work. Under the International Labour Force Law (No. 6735) the authority to work depends on a valid work permit, and an administrative action against a refusal does not, as a rule, suspend the decision automatically under the Administrative Procedure Law (No. 2577). Working while the case is pending is therefore possible only where a stay of execution is granted, or where a separate or temporary status is secured.

The person’s residence status in Türkiye is likewise something to be managed separately from their work status; holding one does not automatically produce the other. In practice the request for a stay of execution is planned together with the litigation strategy, alongside any temporary status options and how the position is to be covered while the case runs. That way both the legal risk and the operational interruption are managed.
