Original Turkish text

MADDE 410 · 4. Ücret alacağının haczi, devri ve rehnedilmesi

İşçilerin ücretinin dörtte birinden fazlası haczedilemez, başkasına devredilemez ve rehnedilemez. Ancak, işçinin bakmakla yükümlü olduğu aile bireyleri için hâkim tarafından takdir edilecek miktar, bu orana dâhil değildir. Nafaka alacaklılarının hakları saklıdır.

Gelecekteki ücret alacaklarının devredilmesi veya rehnedilmesi geçersizdir.
