A six-times lump-sum salary payment will be provided upon retirement
Diplomats will receive a one-time payment equal to six times their average monthly salary upon retirement, calculated either based on the last 24 months or any consecutive 60 months of service.
According to the business and finance news portal, the issue is reflected in the draft law “On Diplomatic Service,” discussed today at a meeting of the International Relations and Interparliamentary Relations Committee of the Milli Majlis.
Under the draft, the structure of state remuneration for diplomatic service employees will be redefined. Salaries will include a monthly base salary, an additional payment for diplomatic rank, representation allowances, and overtime compensation. Additional supplements related to difficult working and climate conditions are also envisaged.
The amendments state that the salaries and allowances of diplomatic service employees will be determined in accordance with Article 33-4 of the Law “On Civil Service.” The remuneration of employees working in evaluated positions will be determined considering diplomatic service experience and performance results.
The draft also notes that until the diplomatic recruitment process is completed, individuals temporarily working in diplomatic positions will receive 50% of the salary corresponding to the first pay grade of that position.
The bill also introduces changes regarding individuals leaving diplomatic service due to reaching retirement age. Diplomatic service employees will receive a lump-sum payment equal to six times their average monthly state remuneration calculated over the last 24 months or any consecutive 60 months of service. Taxes, mandatory state social insurance contributions, and other compulsory payments will be deducted from this amount.
At the same time, employees whose service ends due to conscription for mandatory military or alternative service will receive an allowance equal to three times their average monthly state remuneration. Individuals returning from military service and applying within 60 days may be reinstated to their previous or equivalent positions.
The amendments also expand the list of periods included in diplomatic service seniority. These include periods of forced absence from work, temporary incapacity, paid social leave, service in international organizations, and years of service as heads of state bodies.
According to the draft law, the changes are expected to come into force on January 1, 2026.
