What to Know About Driver Insurance
Drivers are one of the most curious topics, and in our country, taxi and minibus drivers are always at the forefront among the working groups that are generally in the lower income groups and are not obliged to be insured in terms of Social Security. In addition to their difficult working conditions, they are also subjected to attacks by the passengers they take into their vehicles, lack security, are not insured, and are deprived of their social security rights. It is now necessary to implement a social health insurance application for those who own commercial businesses and for drivers. As a result of this regulation, commercial taxi, minibus, etc. transportation workers will be provided according to the number of days calculated based on their monthly working hours.
Under the necessary SSK regulation, public transport drivers will now be able to be insured based on their working hours. As a result and scope of this necessary provision, insurance rights and obligations begin from the dates when the notifications are made to the relevant institutions by the professional organizations, unions, and associations they are members of, either by themselves or by their employers.
Regulation for Drivers Who Cannot Complete Their Hours
For drivers of minibuses, commercial taxis, etc., who are employed by more than one person and whose working hours in a month are less than 10 days according to the necessary calculation, the insurance must be paid by themselves, and under these conditions, they can have the right to be insured. This applies to commercial minibus drivers, etc. transportation drivers. As a result of this relevant regulation, individuals working in taxis and public transport vehicles must be at least 18 years old, and not be registered with Bağ-Kur or be public employees are among the necessary conditions. This covers taxi owners or renters, and drivers of public transport vehicles such as minibuses.
For these individuals, their working hours and times within the month are generally determined. On the other hand, for taxi, minibus, etc. workers who are reported as insured, they can have the same rights and opportunities as those insured under the SSK scope to benefit from retirement and health assistance in the most effective way.
