Crew Contracts & Social Security Procedures

Employing yacht crew legally requires contracts, social security notifications and payroll processes to be handled without gaps. At Yacht Assist we manage crew contracts and social security procedures in full compliance with maritime and labour law, preventing potential administrative penalties.

What is included?

• Contracts compliant with maritime labour law
• Working conditions, wage and leave arrangements
• Social security registration and de-registration
• Monthly declarations and premium tracking
• Work permit procedures for foreign crew
• Severance and notice compensation calculations

How does the process work?

Once you decide to hire, we prepare a legal contract covering working conditions, wages and leave. For Turkish-flagged vessels, social security registration is mandatory for crew, and we carry out enrolment, exit and monthly premium procedures on time. If foreign crew are involved, we also handle the work permit process.

Why Yacht Assist?

Maritime employment is subject to different rules from standard labour relations, and a small omission can lead to serious administrative penalties. Our team carries out every step on time and in line with regulations to protect you from this risk, taking on the administrative burden so you can focus on operations.
