Employee records, payroll, leave, time tracking, performance, OHS and KVKK — all with Turkish law built in, in a single cloud platform. It speaks your accountant's language and lightens HR's load.
All of HR — one panel, one data set. A clean, fast interface that speaks your accountant's language.
Folkena isn't a “leave app” or a “payroll program.” It's an enterprise-grade platform that manages the entire human resource — from a hire's first day to their last, from payroll to OHS training, from performance to KVKK consent. Türkiye's real legislation is built into the code — not interpretation, but calculation.
Every module is strong on its own, and seamless together. One data set, one employee record — information is never re-entered across modules.
Folkena's payroll engine is pure, testable and mapped one-to-one to Turkish legislation. The 2026 minimum wage, SGK rates, income-tax brackets, disability relief and exemptions are written into the code — no manual updates every month.
It computes every statutory deduction from gross to net; if you have a net-salary contract, an iterative solver works the gross back to the kuruş.
It produces a month's payroll for all active employees in a single run, pulling data from the modules automatically.
Payroll automatically becomes a double-entry journal voucher; reversals are supported.
It produces net salaries in your chosen bank format and delivers each payslip to the employee.
When the payroll total exceeds 10,000 ₺, CFO/manager authorisation is required for approval. For garnishments, the Enforcement & Bankruptcy Law a.83 limit (¼ of salary) applies; for advances and disciplinary deductions, the Code of Obligations a.407 limit applies cumulatively. An approved period cannot be recalculated — the audit trail is preserved.
From entry/exit to the APHB, from severance and notice pay to unused-leave payouts — official processes and calculations are automated, with statutory article references.
Leave types compliant with Turkish Labour Law No. 4857, tenure-based accrual, smart timesheets and location-verified mobile time tracking — with overtime and night work checked against statutory limits.
The system ships with legal references built in; each company adds its own types.
It derives accrued days from start and birth dates and manages the balance.
It automatically splits regular / overtime / night / holiday minutes from clock-in and clock-out times.
Every clock-in/out carries a GPS point; distance is computed server-side and flagged inside/outside the geo-fence.
From opening a posting to converting an offer into an employee, from onboarding checklists to the probation decision and an orderly exit process — the whole journey in one flow.
From goals to 360° reviews, from the training catalogue to OHS compliance hours, from the competency map to gap analysis — tools that make development measurable.
This is the depth that sets Folkena apart. KVKK and OHS Law 6331 aren't a “tick box” here; they're built in as real workflows, automatic statutory deadlines and reports you can hand to an inspector.
It manages the lifecycle of employee data from end to end.
The four statutory obligations of occupational health and safety, in one panel.
An architecture that protects the employee's voice and isolates your data.
“Is everything in place?” — a launch/audit readiness score.
For KVKK deletion requests, the workflow, SLA and queue are ready; physical data destruction is subject to human approval so it doesn't conflict with statutory retention obligations. The AI assistant is rule-based (your data is never sent to a language model) — which gives both a privacy and a cost advantage. We don't overstate any feature: what's here is real.
Dashboards that help managers decide, self-service that lets employees carry their own load, and an HR assistant that speaks Turkish.
Folkena talks to the accounting software, banks, time-tracking devices and government services you use. It runs on Qera's ERP-grade infrastructure, with multi-tenant isolation.
Folkena's real payroll engine, with 2026 legislation. Enter gross, see net — or the reverse. Minimum wage, SGK, income tax brackets and exemptions are in the code; nobody can fake this number.
Per-employee monthly pricing, made for SMBs. Add modules as you grow; no hidden setup fees. Your exact price is set during the demo call, based on your needs.
