As for employers-traders, they are free to choose the system of remuneration for labor for their own employees according to their preference. Accordingly, it is important for them that it contains the motivation of employees for productive work, the achievement of high indicators, their consolidation, and advanced training. But what makes up the pay system for civil servants? This we will define in this material.
What is it?
The salary of a civil servant is monetary support, which is the main means of its material, financial support, as well as stimulating professional activity according to the position.
The monetary content of government officials consists of the following parts:
- Official salary. This is a monthly salary accrued according to the position.
- Salary for the assigned class rank. This is a monthly salary, which is formed according to the official rank available to the official.
All this together makes up the monthly monetary maintenance of a civil servant. It can also be supplemented by various monthly, additional payments.
The legislative framework
The remuneration of civil servants is regulated by several legislative acts. The most important of them is the Federal Law "On Civil Public Service" No. 79. In particular, three articles are devoted to the issues of remuneration of civil servants in it:
- Art. 50 (ch. 10).
- Art. 51 (Ch. 10).
- Art. 55 (chap. 12).
Consider their position in more detail.
Art. fifty
This article of Federal Law No. 79 is directly devoted to the payment of a pile of state civil servants. Here is a description of the components of the salary in relation to civil servants of various ranks.
It should be noted that the action of paragraphs. 11, 12 of this article was suspended until January 1 of this 2019.
Art. 51
This article examines the formation of a payroll for civil servants. This article serves as an aid to the performance of official duties by the chief accountant, the head of the financial and economic unit.
The article allows predicting embezzlement for paying civil servants for the year ahead. An expense table can be compiled in parallel with the staffing table.
Art. 55
Here additional awards and rewards are sorted out. The order of payments in such cases is determined. Something like this: when declaring thanks, rewarding with honorary badges and diplomas, conferring various ranks, when an employee retires for seniority.
In 2013, this article was amended by Presidential Decree No. 765.
Salary Sizes
The salaries of state Russian employees are established by the following acts:
- In relation to federal officials. The salaries for the position, the existing class rank are introduced by presidential decree on the proposal of the Russian government. Also, for certain official positions of the Presidential Decree, he can determine the amount of a single monetary reward. It consists of the following: salaries for the position, class rank, bonus to officials for seniority, for certain special conditions, activities related to the introduction of state secrets. But bonuses, cash monthly incentives are not taken into account here.
- In relation to regional officials. Salary sizes for the position, class rank are established in accordance with the provisions of the relevant regulatory act of a particular subject of the Russian Federation.
Formation Features
The remuneration of state civil servants is “brick by brick”. The official’s income directly depends on regional coefficients, the salary for the position held by him, his qualifications, which is established by the results of state certification, on the duration of the entire term of the municipal or public service.
Also, the size of the salary of a civil servant depends on the favor of the leadership to him. Indeed, the surcharge for certain special working conditions is appointed by the immediate superior.
How, for example, is the wage of a civilian civil servant of the Republic of Dagestan established? For each worker, individual s / n sizes are introduced here. You can find out about their volume in your own employment contract. The salary for the position held is registered there, as well as the amount of allowances for special conditions.
As for more experienced workers, their salary is also supplemented by surcharges for a class rank, seniority, and so on.
Additional Payout List
Both federal and regional officials have the right to claim the following additional payments (in addition to the above salaries):
- The allowance for years of service that will be accrued monthly. In Art. 50 Federal Law No. 79 established specific figures. Service 1-5 years - an extra charge of 10%, 5-10 years - 15%, 10-15 years - 20%, more than 15 years - 30%.
- Extra charge for special working conditions. Accrued monthly. It can make up to 200% of the official salary put to the official.
- Percentage allowance for work with information that constitutes state secrets. Its value, payment procedure is determined by the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
- Prizes for the performance of specific, particularly important and particularly complex job assignments. The procedure for their payment is already being formed by the representative of the official’s employer. The amount of the premium depends on the provision of the functions and tasks of this state body, the performance of job descriptions. It is important to note that the maximum size of such premiums is not limited by law.
- Cash monthly promotion.
- A lump sum payment to the employee upon the occurrence of annual leave.
- The help that is paid from funds created to pay civil servants.
Features of accrual of surcharges
It is important to pay attention to the following provisions of Art. 50 Federal Law No. 79:
- The amount of monthly monetary incentives paid to federal officials is directly set by specific federal government agencies differentially by the Decrees of the Russian President.
- The procedure for the payment of monthly allowances for special working conditions is determined in relation to the official by the representative of his employer.
- The procedure for the payment of cash assistance in exceptional cases from funds established for the remuneration of public officials is determined by the relevant provisions that are formed by the representative of the employer.
- In cases stipulated by Russian law, the so-called district coefficient may be added to the money content of a civil servant.
- Civil servants also have the right to claim other payments provided for by applicable federal laws and regulations of the Russian Federation.
Minimum surcharges
We continue to analyze the organization of remuneration of civil servants.
First, the minimum surcharges. The salary here is set in accordance with the position of the worker. Its value is regulated by regulatory regional acts. The salary cannot be lower than the living wage. As for surcharges, the following is determined:
- Surcharge for special conditions - no more than 60% of the salary.
- Supplement for length of service is not relevant.
- No co-pay for a class rank.
Maximum surcharges
Now - the maximum surcharges according to the Regulation on the remuneration of public civil servants. The salary here is also established by the position held by a particular worker. It is governed by the same regional regulations. It cannot be higher than 10% in relation to the salaries of colleagues who occupy lower positions in the career hierarchy.
As for the maximum surcharges, their size may be as follows:
- Extra charge for special conditions. Not more than 200% of the established salary.
- Extra payment for length of service. Not higher than 30% of salary.
- Extra charge for a cool rank. The maximum value is 33%. It is introduced in relation to the highest rank, which can be approved by the employer for special successes in the service.
Who is eligible for maximum increases?
Each municipal institution, state organizations at the level of subjects establish their own procedures for remuneration of civil civil servants. In particular, they may or may not allow for the introduction of maximum allowances.
If such surcharges are allowed, then the following persons are entitled to apply for them:
- Speaking candidates of sciences, professors.
- Permanently working and living in the Far East of Russia, in the regions of the Far North (they can claim the highest regional coefficient).
- Workers with an honorary title.
- Employees working with state secret data.
Federal and regional employees
Let’s see if there is a difference in wages of a state federal civil servant and a regional one.
It should be noted that the Russian Federation introduced uniform standards for calculating the monetary content of an official. Corresponding regulatory acts were adopted at the level of the presidential and federal power systems. However, the remuneration of federal and regional officials varies. It is influenced by the region of service, the implementation of activities.
There is also a difference in salaries caused by various kinds of professional working conditions. For example, a salary specialist of the same Accounts Chamber, the Ministry of Finance will be an order of magnitude higher than the salary of an official working in the Ministry of Social Policy and Education.
It can also be argued that the remuneration of civilian civil servants of the subjects will be slightly lower than the remuneration for labor for officials at the federal level.
Terms and procedure of payments
Salaries of officials are paid, respectively, from the payroll of civilian civil servants. According to the Labor Code, monetary allowance is given to these citizens strictly 2 times a month.
The legislation establishes specific dates:
- 15th day of the current working month. Payment of advance payment for the current month and bonuses for the previous month.
- The last day of the current working month. Final settlements with the employee for the current month.
Special periodicities of payments are set here for quarterly and annual cash bonuses. This is regulated by the Regulation on the bonus payment of the functional department of the authority, municipal institution, etc.
Allowance payment
Changes in the remuneration of civil servants are documented in relevant acts and orders. It cannot be caused only by the decision of mediocre authorities.
As for allowances for special working conditions, length of service, they are established in strict accordance with applicable Russian legislation. This is a fixed percentage for each year of successful public service. So, a newcomer after a year of work in a municipal or state organization can claim a 10% salary increase.
As for allowances for special working conditions, their size is fixed from the very first day of performance of official duties. And as soon as new functional instructions are received, or by order of direct management, this indicator can sometimes grow exponentially.
We give a concrete example. Premiums for work with classified information, with data constituting state secrets, make up 5-70% of the salary. It all depends on the nature of such information, the vultures with which they are marked.
Payment of material assistance
In addition to the salary, established allowances, civil servants also have the right to apply for assistance. Unlike those listed, this payment is not regular. It can be provided to the employee only upon submission of the relevant application.
The reason for the provision of such material assistance in the system of remuneration of civil servants may be the following:
- Another annual main vacation. The pay here, as a rule, is equal to the double wage of the worker.
- Anniversary dates if they coincide with the day a citizen retires from old age.
- The death of a relative.
- Wedding, marriage.
Calculations
How is the civil servant paid? The following formula applies:
- Salary according to the position of the worker + district coefficient + supplement for special conditions of employment + premium for class rank + premium for seniority + bonus for existing academic degree (if available) + surcharges for working with classified information, data constituting state secrets = payment labor of a federal or regional official.
To summarize. The remuneration for the work of a civil servant consists of a mass of components. The backbone here is the salary for the position held and the class rank assigned. The rest is all kinds of surcharges and bonuses. Something like this: for completing a difficult task, special working conditions, length of service, monthly cash incentives, etc.
