Penalties for not raising wages
Penalties for the fact that employees have not been increased wages are provided for in Article 5.27 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation:

The Government of the Russian Federation by order of December 6, 2017 No. 2716-r ordered to increase wages by 4%:
- for employees of federal state, budgetary and autonomous institutions;

According to breaking news from September 1, 2019, an increase in wages. Maybe not in such amounts as planned, but still, an increase in the salaries of state employees should be expected.
Public servants are persons employed in state enterprises. They are paid from the state budget, and their activities are regulated by intra-industry regulations and the Labor Code. The list of public sector employees includes:
- persons working in educational and preschool institutions, with the exception of their private forms;
- medical workers, also excluding private practice;
- employees of customs structures;
- employees of the tax service;
- social workers and cultural workers;
- persons applying their labor in the ranks of judicial and law enforcement agencies;
- employees of the migration service and employees of the treasury structure;
- the entire administrative apparatus and ministries.
According to Rosstat, based on the minimum wage, the average level of remuneration of public sector employees is as follows:
In a number of structures, the size of the average salary is strictly classified. It depends not only on the salary, but also on bonuses, additional payments and bonuses and can reach one hundred thousand rubles. These structures include:
- employees of tax and customs services;
- border guards;
- employees of Rosreestr and Rospotrebnadzor;
- migration workers.
If we also take into account the expected increase in wages, then we can say that these categories of employees have a privileged position relative to other state employees.
What to expect for teachers and healthcare professionals
The minimum wage is slowly but surely rising. So, it became known that in September a significant increase in medical workers. This was announced on July 5, 2019 by the Governor of the Moscow Region, who also said that in Moscow a 15% increase in the level of remuneration for employees of cultural institutions should be expected. Also, everyone can count on an increase of five thousand rubles. classroom teacher and a young teacher.
During the meeting, the issue of free travel for residents of the Moscow region on the capital's transport was also raised. This new benefit can help to significantly save specialists working in the capital.
New salary payment rules from September 1, 2019
The card must be issued in advance and the worker must have details. The card number must be indicated in the application. You must also specify the calculated personal account, details of the bank in which the card was issued. After signing the document, it is sent to the accounting department to change the details for wages.
If the deadlines for paying salaries in 2019 are violated, compensation should be calculated based on 1/150 of the key rate of the Central Bank for each day of delay in each payment. The key rate of the Central Bank is 7.25% (decision of the Bank of Russia dated 03/23/18).
In legislation Russian Federation there is no clear definition of the concept of "advance". On October 3, 2017, new criteria entered into law, under which an employee has the right to receive earned cash at least once every six months. There will be no changes in 2019. The rules affect municipal and state institutions, as well as funds financed not from the state budget.
Average earnings of all budget organizations will be increased by 15 percent, which exceeds the expected inflation by almost 3.5 times. Depending on the size, the salary of state employees will depend, and this applies not only to teachers, but also to technical and administrative staff.
Should all state employees expect a raise?
Not all state employees fall under the pay increase program. So, they may not hope for a salary increase from September 2019:
- engineers and programmers;
- accountants and economists;
- engineering and technical workers;
- personnel specialists.
The same can be said about non-budgetary workers, for whom no financial changes are foreseen in 2019. Their earnings depend on the situation on the labor market in general and the demand for the profession.
Even more useful information about the increase in wages from September 1, 2019 is here:
Most of the people in our country are employed, with the exception of a small number of people who are self-employed or other types of business. Given that the prices of food, clothing, gasoline and utility bills are constantly rising, the issue of increasing income is becoming increasingly important. For working citizens, it is important to know who and in what amount will receive a salary increase in 2019.
What is the reason for the increase
Inflation every year depreciates the existing exchange rate of the national currency by several percent. According to official data, in 2017 inflation was approximately 2.8%, in 2018 - 3.1%, but in reality, the expenses of Russians grew much more. If we take into account the increased VAT and other burden on small businesses, which will affect price growth, the purchasing power of citizens in 2019 will decrease by at least 5-7%.
Private organizations have their own systems for calculating salaries and increasing them, which are not regulated from the outside. On the other hand, the amount of salaries in institutions financed from the state treasury is controlled by law. According to Art. 134 Labor Code RF, wages should rise in line with the rise in prices for goods and services.
In addition to the instructions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the government of the Russian Federation is striving to fulfill the May instructions of the President, which dictated an increase in payments to certain categories. Moreover, the President indicated not the minimum wage, but the average level of salaries in the region, as a guideline for the amount of allowance.
Draft budget
The amount of salaries of workers is approved in advance in the budget of the Russian Federation. Draft Federal Law No. 556362-7 “On the federal budget for 2019 and for the planned period of 2020 and 2021” was approved in the first reading. In accordance with it, wage indexation is planned. In addition, the minimum wage, which determines the minimum monetary allowance, will be 11,280 rubles from January 1, 2019. (it average which differs by region). Although its increase in the current period is very insignificant, in May 2018 this target was raised immediately by 17%, which significantly affected the growth of wages for many workers.
Who gets a pay rise
Salaries are paid to various categories of workers from the state and municipal budgets. These are law enforcement agencies (the army, law enforcement agencies, bailiffs, the Federal Penitentiary Service, etc.), civil servants, tax and judicial authorities. They also include those who are traditionally called "state employees": doctors and health workers, teachers and educators, researchers, cultural workers, social services.
Important: according to the existing draft budget, salary increases are planned in different equivalents. To a greater extent, salaries will increase for workers in those areas that were noted in the May decree of the President.
civil servants
Not only a good financial security from the treasury, but also have various benefits and privileges. Therefore, the expected increase in their salaries is perceived by society rather painfully. The salaries of civil servants, which were low in the 2000s, have increased sixfold since then - a gradual increase took place until 2013, then it was suspended. In 2019, the salaries of officials will be indexed by 4.3%. This is a forced measure, correlated with the level of inflation. Most likely, indexation will occur in the first quarter.
The salary of this category of workers consists of many components, which include length of service, the plan carried out by the unit and the personal effectiveness of the employee. It is expected that the average monthly income of an official in 2019 will be about 136 thousand rubles, which is several times higher than the total average monthly income in Russia. However, this figure is an average indicator - if the heads of departments receive about 200 thousand, then a young employee who comes without experience can count on only 20-25 thousand rubles. per month. In addition, this includes not only the salary part, but also all bonus and incentive surcharges. It is planned that the scheme of their calculation will change - first of all, the rank and position, as well as the fulfillment of all labor standards, will be taken into account.
Raising salaries for state employees in 2019 in Russia
Indexation of wages for employees who did not fall under the May decrees of the President of the Russian Federation of 2012 is planned from October 1, 2019 at 4.3%. Earlier it was reported that 5 million state employees of categories, also not included in the May decrees of Vladimir Putin, received a 4% increase in salaries from January 1, 2018. This category includes veterinarians, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and administrative and managerial personnel.
The May 2012 decrees have already made it possible to raise wages for employees of healthcare, education, culture and science institutions.
How much will the salaries of state employees increase in 2019
In May decrees of the head of state from 2012, categories of state employees were listed, whose salaries by 2018 should have been brought up to 100% or 200% of the average labor income in the region. These categories included school teachers, nurses, cultural workers, social workers (their salaries were required to be increased to 100%), as well as doctors, university professors, scientists(up to 200%). Under the May decrees, as explained in the Ministry of Labor, economists, lawyers, engineers, programmers, technicians, electricians, locksmiths, plumbers, and cleaners were not included.
The indexation of wages for categories of state employees who are not affected by the May decrees of the President of Russia will amount to 4.3% in 2019, said Lyubov Yeltsova, Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection, at a meeting of the General Council of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia. “Indexation is planned for unspecified categories from October 1, 4.3% in 2019, 2020 - 3.8%, 2021 - 4%,” said the representative of the Ministry of Labor (quote from RIA Novosti).
Raising salaries for state employees in 2019 in Russia, latest news
State employees are customarily called all people whose work is paid from the state or municipal budget. However, by law, all recipients of state allowance are clearly divided into:
- state employees;
- civil servants;
- law enforcement officers.
This distinction is due to the different principles of payroll, incentive payments and the provision of benefits.
Therefore, when the government promises a salary increase for public sector employees in 2019, we are talking, first of all, about the categories that fall under the May presidential decrees, namely, workers in certain areas:
- educational;
- medical;
- social;
- scientific;
- cultural.
The level of income of state employees has always lagged far behind the average salary of Russians. To eliminate this imbalance and attract young professionals to the educational and medical field In 2012, President of Russia V.V. Putin instructed to bring the incomes of state employees to an acceptable level, namely, to increase them to the level of:
- not less than 100% of the income in the region of the salary of teachers, kindergarten teachers, medical middle and junior staff, social workers and cultural workers;
- 200% of regional salaries income of higher education teachers educational institutions, doctors and scientists.
The salaries of state employees should have increased to the specified level by 2018.

Already at the beginning of 2018, it was clear that the salaries of public sector employees, despite annual salary increases, did not reach the planned targets. The growth of the minimum wage and the average wage of Russians outstripped the planned indicators of the program for the gradual improvement of wages in state (municipal) institutions in 2012–2018.
Therefore, in May 2018, the President of the country clearly indicated whether there would be. The program for improving wages continues to operate until the indicators are brought to the planned figures, that is, wages in the public sector will continue to grow, including in 2019.
Law enforcement agencies
Army, FSSP and increase by 4.3% according to the draft federal budget. The increase will take place in October 2019 and will become a necessary measure - over the past few years, the payments of the “siloviki” have not been indexed, with the exception of 2018. Against the backdrop of inflation, their salaries have depreciated by 30-40% over the past 5 years.
The May decree of the President also affected the remuneration of employees of law enforcement agencies. So, by 2024, police officers should receive a salary of at least 150% of the average income in the region. However, this increase will take place in stages. The servants of the law themselves are wary of innovations. After the salary increase in 2012, when their income increased one and a half to two times, there was a wave of reforms related to the merger of departments, staff reductions and various recertifications. The police fear that the upcoming increase in salaries will lead to further cuts and an increase in the burden on ordinary employees.
From January 1, 2019, Russians who work in the public sector will have their wages increased. According to the latest news, about 5 billion rubles will be allocated for these measures.
The volume of additional expenses of the real economic sector will amount to 13.7 billion rubles. The salary of state employees will grow simultaneously with the increase in the minimum wage.
The minimum wage will increase, and state employees will earn more
The Russian government proposed to increase the minimum wage from January 1, 2019. So, next year, the “minimum wage” will be 11,280 rubles, which is 100% of the PM for the able-bodied population in the second quarter of 2018.
Alas, the increase in the minimum wage will be insignificant - only 117 rubles (+1.048%). But this is in the central and southern regions. For the Chukotka Autonomous District, the increase will be 351 rubles. In order for the salaries of state employees to grow, it will be necessary to allocate at least 5 billion rubles from the budget.
As part of the meeting of the 3-sided commission, Tatyana Golikova noted: from the beginning next year unemployment benefit will be a maximum of 8,000 rubles, a minimum of 1,900 rubles. Now the unemployed receive assistance in the amount of at least 850 rubles or a maximum of 4,900 rubles.
The allocated 5 billion rubles will be divided:
- 1.4 billion rubles are provided for raising salaries for employees of federal state institutions;
- 3.6 billion rubles is provided to increase the salaries of employees of state institutions of the Russian regions and municipalities.

From January 2019, state employees will receive 6% more. The salaries of teachers, doctors, scientists and social workers will increase - all of whom were discussed in the presidential May decrees. Since 2012, the salaries of state employees have been regularly raised, but even in 2019 they will not reach the planned targets of 100 and 200% of the average income in the regions.
State employees are customarily called all people whose work is paid from the state or municipal budget. However, by law, all recipients of state allowance are clearly divided into:

Already at the beginning of 2018, it was clear that the salaries of public sector employees, despite annual salary increases, did not reach the planned targets. The growth of the minimum wage and the average wage of Russians outstripped the planned indicators of the program for the gradual improvement of wages in state (municipal) institutions in 2012–2018.
Therefore, in May 2018, the President of the country clearly indicated whether there would be an increase in the salaries of state employees. The program for improving wages continues to operate until the indicators are brought to the planned figures, that is, wages in the public sector will continue to grow, including in 2019.
By how much will the salaries of state employees be increased
Wage growth certain categories public sector employees who fall under the May decrees are laid down in federal budget. The project states that the nominal increase in 2019 will be 6% of the wages of the previous year.
A further increase in the wages of state employees is also planned:
- in 2020 - by 5.4%;
- in 2021 - by 6.6%.
However, the salaries of teachers and doctors are tied to the level of regional incomes. Therefore, bringing their income to the proper level is a priority goal for local budgets. It is the regions that should look for opportunities for an additional increase in the salaries of state employees.
For example, Sakhalin state employees have already been promised a 20% increase by officials, and workers in the amount of 5-15% by September 1, 2018.
See in the video how salaries will increase in the Krasnoyarsk Territory:
In addition, from the beginning of the year, the minimum wage will rise to 11,280 rubles. Growth in relation to the previous minimum wage will be only 1%. Since the salary increase is calculated on the basis of the regional “minimum salary”, and it can significantly exceed the minimum wage in the country, specialists with low salaries can receive an additional surcharge.
Reference! In May 2018, the minimum wage was increased by 18%, which significantly affected the wages of more than 1 million low-wage state employees.
Terms of increase
The salaries of state employees will increase from January 1, 2019. The news circulating on the network about the postponement of deadlines to October does not correspond to reality. Traditionally in October, investigators, military, civil servants, who are usually considered public employees. But this provision does not apply to medical workers, teachers, social and scientific staff. Their salaries will increase from the beginning of the year.
In addition, additional increases may be made during the year to coincide with professional holidays, top school year etc. But the decision on such allowances is made at the municipal level, so it may not affect all state employees.
What will be the average salary of state employees
Given the different levels of average wages in the regions, it is difficult to say by how much wages in the public sector will rise.
The actual figures will also be affected by other factors on which the amount of wages depends: length of service, qualifications, tariff rate, specialty, etc. allowances.
If we talk about the average salary in the country, then it will be y:
- educators - 34,700 rubles;
- teachers - 44,760 rubles;
- additional education teachers -42,100 rubles;
- teachers of secondary vocational schools - 43,600 rubles;
- teachers teaching at universities - 93,000 rubles;
- doctors - 78,400 rubles;
- nurses - 39,000 rubles;
- junior medical personnel - 35,600 rubles;
- social workers - 34,600 rubles;
- employees of cultural institutions - 40,500 rubles;
- scientists - 102,000 rubles.
Many doctors, teachers, employees of cultural institutions are worried that their income will remain at the same level, and the increase in salary will only cover the amount of bonuses that they will be deprived of. This opinion is often spread on the network. But the figures say otherwise, as is the case with information about large-scale cuts in state employees and the transfer of their duties to colleagues who have remained to work.
