Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the establishment of monthly salaries for employees of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation”

Models of remuneration for civil servants in the Russian Federation

In the state civil service in the Russian Federation, a time-based form of remuneration in a time-based bonus system is widely used.
It involves the payment of an official salary and bonuses for completing “particularly complex and responsible tasks.” This form of remuneration does not stimulate Russian officials in the results of their work, since they are guaranteed a stable monthly income.

While the salaries of civil servants in New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, and Sweden directly depend on the growth rates of economic development!

The Budget Code of the Russian Federation determines the sources of financing the expenses of federal government bodies and government bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Articles 84 and 85 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation contain provisions that:

• ensuring the activities of federal government bodies and their territorial representative offices is carried out exclusively at the expense of the federal budget,
• and state bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - at the expense of regional budgets.

In the state civil service, regulatory legal acts of the federal level and the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation provide for three models of remuneration for state civil servants:

• cash support;
• monetary reward;
• remuneration based on indicators of efficiency and effectiveness of professional work activities.

The modern structure of remuneration models for state civil servants in the Russian Federation is established:

• Article 50 “Remuneration of civil servants” of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ (as amended on May 1, 2019) “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”;
• Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 25, 2006 No. 763 (as amended on September 19, 2019) “On the salary of federal state civil servants”;
• regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Salary of state civil servants

Remuneration for state civil servants is made primarily in the form of salary:

• the use of the term CASH CONTENT instead of the term SALARY is due to the specifics of the state civil service in the Russian Federation and
• is intended to emphasize the difference between the state civil service and other labor activities regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

As stated in Part 1 of Article 50 “Payment for Civil Servants” of Federal Law No. 79-FZ “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”, the salary:

• is the main means of material support for a state civil servant and
• stimulating his professional performance in the position he is filling in the state civil service.

In accordance with Part 2 of Article 50 of Federal Law No. 79-FZ, the structure of the salary of a state civil servant is:

• monthly salary of a state civil servant in accordance with the class rank assigned to him in the state civil service - salary for class rank ;
• monthly payments;
• additional payments.

The official salary and salary for class rank together constitute the monthly salary of a state civil servant - salary .

Thus, in the structure of the salary of a state civil servant, two components can be distinguished:

• salary , which is the base of the salary, the basis of material support for a state civil servant, and depends on the official position of the state civil servant;
• additional payments , which are, first of all, stimulating in nature and depend on the specifics, special conditions for the performance of official duties by a specific government civil servant.

Remuneration of state civil servants according to indicators of efficiency and effectiveness of professional work activities

Parts 14-17 of Article 50 of Federal Law No. 79-FZ provide for the possibility of establishing:

• special procedure for remuneration of state civil servants
• for certain civil service positions.

In this case, remuneration should be made depending on the indicators of efficiency and effectiveness of professional work activities, determined in a fixed-term service contract. Thus, a special remuneration procedure can be applied exclusively to state civil servants with whom a fixed-term service contract has been concluded.

To state civil servants, whose wages are paid in the specified special order:

• The general conditions of remuneration established for state civil servants do not apply.

Performance indicators can serve both to evaluate the performance of a government body as a whole, and to evaluate the performance of state civil servants.

The main direction of improving performance indicator systems in the last decade in most Western countries has been related to:

• with finding the optimal balance between defining indicators for public authorities and public civil servants and
• establishing a close relationship between them.

Currently, the most common approach is to:

• at the level of government bodies, integral performance indicators are used that reflect the main political or economic parameters of its activities, for example, the unemployment rate,
• which are then decomposed to the level of structural units, for example, the number of developed retraining programs for the unemployed, and
• Finally, they reach the level of state civil servants, for example, the share of citizens applying for retraining per month.

This approach is also reflected in parts 14-17 of Article 50 “Payment of civil servants” of Federal Law No. 79-FZ “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”.

RIGHT TO PUBLIC SERVICE

Options for continuing the employment relationship

Law No. 79-FZ (Part 1, Article 31) provides that in the event of a reduction in civil service positions, labor relations with the employees occupying them can be continued:

• if a civil servant is given the opportunity to fill another civil service position in the same state organization, or in another government agency, taking into account his length of work (service) in his specialty or length of civil service, the civil servant’s professional education and level of qualifications;
• when sending a civil servant for advanced training or professional retraining.

This kind of option is possible if the employer has positions in which some civil servants are on parental leave, are sick for a long time, are on long-term vacations without pay, etc.

It should be noted that simultaneously with the return to work of the “main” employee, the service contract concluded with the temporary employee is terminated.

Government bodies often employ not only civil servants, but also other categories of workers whose work activities are not regulated by Law No. 79-FZ. These include the so-called “technical performers”, service personnel, etc.

If a civil servant is transferred to positions not provided for in the Register of Positions of the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to talk not about the transfer (transition), but about the dismissal of the employee from the civil service and the hiring of the same employee to a new position.

This is important to know: Resignation at your own request

If a civil servant refuses to be sent for retraining, or he is not satisfied with the alternative position offered, he is dismissed from the civil service due to reduction: clause 6 of part 1 of Article 33 of Law No. 79-FZ will be the basis for dismissal.

Annual financial assistance

Also, the military’s pay is increased through additional payments such as material assistance. The rules for the payment of this remuneration are established by Government Decree No. 993 dated December 5, 2011.

Annual financial assistance is provided to contract military personnel in the amount of at least one salary per month. For employees who had the right to receive this assistance, but did not apply for it during the year, this benefit is paid along with their salary for December.

Financial assistance is not provided to military personnel who were dismissed in accordance with Article 3, Part 4, Clauses 1-5 and Clauses 7-11 of Federal Law 306. In a situation where the benefit was issued before the occurrence of these circumstances, it is not taken from the last salary held. Also, financial assistance is not paid to military personnel who are at the disposal of their superiors and are dismissed at the end of the year, with the provision of leave upon dismissal, which ends in the next year (for the year in which the leave ends).

In the event of the death of a serviceman, annual financial assistance is paid to his relatives, similar to the procedure for paying bonuses for effective and conscientious performance of duties.

Award for efficient and conscientious performance of duties

The bonus for effective and high-quality performance of official duties is up to three bonuses per year. The rules for the payment of this bonus are established by the Government of the Russian Federation, Resolution No. 993 of December 5, 2011. This legal act states that the bonus in question can be paid monthly or quarterly, simultaneously with the issuance of monetary allowance in the month that follows the month or quarter for which it is paid bonus, and in December - for December or the 4th quarter.

This bonus is calculated on the basis of the VAT for the month, established on the first day of the month in which the bonus is issued, and in December - on the first of December of the current year.

In situations where a military man has served for less than a full month (quarter), the bonus is accrued for the time actually worked, based on the SDC that was due to the military man on the day the decision was made to pay the bonus.

The bonus is not given to military personnel: - who serve in units where rewards are established for completing and achieving large volumes of production tasks and other indicators; — who are sent outside the country for technical assistance and other duties; - at the time they are at the disposal of their superiors, except for those periods when military personnel performed duties in vacant military positions; - who were dismissed on the grounds provided for in clauses 1-5, 7-11, part 4 of art. 3 Federal Law 306.

If a serviceman dies, this bonus, accrued during his actual work, is paid to his wife (husband), and in her (his) absence - to the adult children who lived with him, the legal representatives of his minor children (disabled people who became disabled childhood, regardless of age) and other persons who were dependent on the deceased, in equal shares. In a situation where the military man was not married and had no children, the bonus is paid in equal shares to the parents.

DD fund according to federal law

Payments of monetary allowances are made from a special fund, from the DD fund for military personnel serving under contract, and the DD fund for military personnel serving on conscription.

The monetary allowance fund for contract soldiers consists of the assets of the military department of the central apparatus of the federal executive power, in which the Federal Law pre-establishes military service, and the monetary allowance fund for military personnel serving in military units, formations and bodies of the relevant federal executive authority, including territorial ones.

The DD fund is usually formed in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the required salaries for ranks and positions, taking into account monthly allowances, bonuses and financial assistance.

Thus, having examined the Federal Law on monetary allowances, we can conclude that the following patterns are inherent in the system of payments to military personnel: - the use of additional payments and compensations, taking into account the specifics of military service; — realization of the economic interest of contract workers in extending contracts; — social justice in the remuneration of military personnel and monetary incentives for career growth using coefficients of differentiation of the DD of various categories of military personnel; - a higher level of salary for the military compared to the salaries of ordinary citizens; — an increase in monetary allowances (certain types of payments) is carried out through their annual indexation.

Increased coefficients for certain categories of military personnel

According to Government Decree No. 1071 dated December 21, 2011, military personnel serving in military formations stationed outside the Russian Federation and military personnel performing tasks in the territories of armed conflicts in a state of emergency are entitled to additional cash payments, calculated using special increasing coefficients.

Pay increases as follows: - for service in a military unit stationed in Belarus - by 1.1 - for service in a military unit stationed in Ukraine - by 1.2; - for service in military units stationed in Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Moldova - by 1.3; - for service in the military unit stationed in Abkhazia, Tajikistan and South Ossetia - by 1.4.

For military personnel who serve under a contract, when carrying out tasks during a state of emergency or during armed conflicts, their pay increases by a factor of 1.5.

The coefficients by which the DD of military personnel serving in the Far North and equivalent areas is increased are set out in the Appendix to Government Resolution No. 1237 of December 30, 2011.

Salaries according to rank and position for contract employees

Government Decree No. 992 dated 5.012.2011 established uniform salary amounts for standard military ranks and positions for contract employees in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as salary amounts for positions to be filled by military contractors in the Foreign Intelligence Service, FSB, Federal Security Service and Special service objects under the President of the Russian Federation. In the appendices of this regulatory legal act there is a table of monetary allowances in terms of salary by rank and position, respectively.

As for non-standard military positions, their salaries are established by the heads of federal executive bodies, in which the Federal Law provides for military service, in accordance with salaries for standard military positions.

In the case when military personnel enter training at military vocational educational institutions, during their training they are set the same salaries for the positions and ranks that they held before training.

Allowances for conscript employees

The salary of military personnel serving under conscription may be increased: - for classification by category or class (similar to the allowances given to contract soldiers); - for specific conditions of service; — for performing tasks that are directly related to risks to health and life in peacetime; - for work related to information that is a state secret.

Also, separate payments are due to military personnel stationed outside the country and military personnel who perform tasks during a state of emergency, counter-terrorism operations or armed conflicts.

For specific conditions of service, the size of the bonus for conscripts ranges from 100% of the salary for a military position (for example, in the case of filling positions in the crews of submarines, autonomous deep-sea vehicles located on surface vessels, submarines under construction, in the technical crews of underwater stations) and up to 10% salary for a military position (for example, when filling positions in border agencies that directly guard the state border). The amounts of the monthly bonus for performing tasks that involve a risk to life and health in peacetime are similar to those established for contract soldiers.

The bonus for working with information that is a state secret can be 10, 20 or 25%, depending on the degree of importance.

Meaning of the term

Cash allowance (MS) is financial payments to military personnel. This concept applies specifically to the military; civil servants and civilian personnel receive wages or monetary rewards for performing their official duties.

In addition to military personnel, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also receive DD in Russia. The salary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is determined by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 65 dated January 31, 2013.

The DD of an employee citizen is the means of his existence, the satisfaction of his needs, and is also an incentive in the performance of professional duties, compensating for the hardships associated with hard military labor and the hardships that are associated with it.

The amount of monetary allowance cannot be the subject of an agreement between the state and the military; its value is always clearly determined by legal acts.
