Questions & Answers about Yan haklar iyileşmedikçe iş güvencesi tek başına yetmez.

What does yan haklar mean in this sentence?

Yan haklar means employee benefits, fringe benefits, or perks.

• yan = side
• hak = right
• haklar = rights

So the literal meaning is something like side rights, but in normal Turkish this refers to extra benefits connected to a job, such as insurance, meal support, transportation, bonuses, and similar advantages.

It is plural because people usually talk about a package of benefits, not just one.

What does iyileşmedikçe mean, and how is it formed?

İyileşmedikçe comes from:

• iyileşmek = to improve, to get better
• -me- = negative suffix
• -dikçe / -dıkça / -dukça / -dükçe = a suffix that creates an adverbial clause

So:

• iyileş- = improve
• iyileşme- = not improve
• iyileşmedikçe = unless it improves / as long as it does not improve / until it improves

In this sentence, it refers to yan haklar, so the sense is:

unless the benefits improve
or
as long as the benefits do not improve
