Will there be a salary increase? How to calculate the salary of a primary school teacher

Wages in the public sector are an important socio-economic indicator that in one way or another affects the amount of salaries in commercial organizations. Therefore, many managers and employees often have a question: what is the salary increase for state employees in 2019? After all, based on its size, you can index salaries in your company. Please note: Rosstat has published the average salaries of state employees by industry and region for the first half of 2019.

In 2018, the Government, executing the “May decrees” of the President on raising the salaries of public sector employees (2019), approved the allocation of 14.5 billion rubles to finance wage increases for certain categories of workers budget institutions. Salary indexation is also planned for 2019. Let's see what these separate categories of workers are. But let's start with the news.

Salary increase from 01.10.2019

• employees of federal state, budgetary and autonomous institutions;
• employees of federal government bodies, civilian personnel of military units, institutions and subdivisions federal bodies executive power, in which the law provides for military and equivalent service.

Besides, Decree of the President Russian Federation dated 06/13/2019 No. 279 “On increasing the salaries of judges in the Russian Federation” from October 1, 2019, salaries will also increase for judges of all ranks: from judges of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts to judges of the peace of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - by the same 4.3%.

Who are civil servants and state employees

First you need to figure out who the state employees are. It is obvious that in everyday life this word “hides” all those people who receive a salary from the budget: officials, security officials, employees of state institutions, doctors, teachers, scientists. But it would not be entirely true to unite all state employees in one big category. Indeed, from the point of view of legislation, they are divided into different categories:

• civil servants (persons working in government bodies, in state institutions);
• public sector employees (teachers, scientists, doctors, kindergarten teachers, employees of cultural institutions and university professors).

The difference lies not only in the name, but also in the approach to material support, subordination and social services. As usual, it is somewhat better for civil servants. Yes, and their salaries and allowances are regulated by separate legislation. Since the salaries of officials and the military are subject to specific rules, we will dwell in more detail on what increase in salaries for state employees in 2019 was provided for the so-called "other categories" and what will be the salary increase for state employees in 2019 in Russia ( latest news).

State employees: doctors, teachers and accountants

According to rough estimates, about 33 million people work in the public sector in Russia. Of all citizens of working age (approximately 83 million people), the share of state employees is more than a third. Of these, about half are those who cannot be called civil servants, namely employees:

• schools;
• kindergartens;
• secondary and higher educational institutions;
• medical institutions;
• libraries, museums and other cultural institutions;
• scientific institutes.

All of them receive wages from the state budget of the Russian Federation: federal or local. Their working conditions are regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, as well as regulations, developed by the department that manages the activities of the institution. For example, for doctors it is the Ministry of Health, and for cultural workers it is the Ministry of Culture.

It is noteworthy that although all these legal acts (unlike law enforcement agencies) are open and publicly available, it is difficult to officially understand the level of salaries of employees of these structures. After all, the remuneration system involves not only a salary, but also a whole layer of various bonuses, subsidies and bonuses. Therefore, for example, the salary of a chief accountant in a budgetary organization can be the same, but different employees in different industries will receive completely different amounts.

However, when it comes to average salaries, then when they are calculated, all additional payments are usually taken into account. So, according to Rosstat, the average salary in the country amounted to 49,348 rubles (data for June 2019). Since statistics were sampled for all regions and cities, this figure turned out to be overestimated for small towns: in practice, doctors and teachers in small towns municipalities can receive only 12,000-15,000 rubles a month. In general, the picture of average wages by industry of public sector workers and regions is presented in the table, formed on the basis of Rosstat data on average wages of public sector employees.

July 23 Rosstat published data on average wages of certain categories of workers in the social sphere and science in organizations of state and municipal forms of ownership in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for January-June 2019.

Salary of state employees in 2019

The indexation of public sector salaries is part of Vladimir Putin's 2012 election program. The main document is Presidential Decree No. 597, sometimes called “Order 597 of the President: Roadmap 01/01/2018”. Then, in May, immediately after taking office, the head of state issued 11 decrees that dealt with raising the salaries of civil servants and other state employees. Then the President promised to raise salaries by 2019, primarily for teachers and doctors.

Salaries are increased primarily for those state employees who are subject to the Decrees of the President:

Salary increases are phased in. Finally:

• for university teachers and doctors (health workers with higher education), the salary level should be at least 200% of the average salary in the region;
• middle and junior medical staff and social workers the level of salary should not be lower than the average salary in the region.

Unfortunately, not all categories of state employees fell under the "May decrees". It is obvious that there are quite a lot of those who have not been raised salaries. Therefore, officials promised not to bypass them and also to index their salaries. Thus, in accordance with the law “On the federal budget for 2019 and planning period 2020 and 2021”, it is planned to increase the salaries of state employees (see the table below for indexation rates).

Categories of state employees whose salaries are indexed in accordance with the "May decrees"	Categories of employees who were not subject to the "May Decrees"
Kindergarten and general education teachers Teachers of additional education Teachers and masters of secondary and primary vocational education University teachers Middle and junior medical personnel Social workers Cultural workers Researchers educational teachers, medical organizations and organizations providing social services orphans and those left without parental care	HR Specialists Complex rehabilitation specialists Engineering and support workers servicing buildings and equipment: technicians, electricians, locksmiths, plumbers, cleaners office space. Social psychologists Accountants and economists Engineers Programmers Investigators Firefighters Judges, prosecutors Military personnel and their equivalents
Salary increase from September 1, 2019 - by 6.0%, in 2020 - by 5.4%, in 2021 - by 6.6%	Salary increase from October 1, 2019 to the forecast inflation rate - 4.3%, October 1, 2020 — by 3.8%, October 1, 2021 — by 4%

Increasing the salaries of state employees from 01/01/2019

It should be noted that some state employees will have to increase salaries regardless of indexation. Indeed, from January 1, it is planned to increase the minimum wage (increasing the minimum wage), which will affect the salaries of junior and middle-level personnel with secondary education. From 01/01/2019, the minimum wage is 11,280 rubles. This increase in salaries will affect approximately 1.6 million people in the public sector.

Regional decisions to increase salaries for state employees

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 28, 2012 No. 2599-r obliges the governments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to adopt orders on their regional "road maps" in which to prescribe specific figures for each year to increase salaries. Yes, the roadmap. Sverdlovsk region to improve wages 2019 stated that the level of the average salary of social workers should be at least 100 percent of the average monthly salaries in the Sverdlovsk region. And in 2019, the Government allocated an additional 2.9 billion rubles from the federal treasury to increase the salaries of state employees in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, so that regional allowances and the northern coefficient could be taken into account.

At the end of the year, regional authorities traditionally prepare appropriate decisions regarding salary increases for the next year. For example, in the Lipetsk region, deputies decided to increase the salaries of state employees who are not subject to May decrees by 10% in 2019.

Wages, especially for state employees, are the only source of income. The increase in wages for this group of the population occurs every year, only thanks to this, doctors, teachers and other state employees can adequately support their families, take loans and not worry about paying utility bills. What news awaits us in next year? Will there be a salary increase for state employees in 2017?

Many of our citizens do not quite understand the difference between civil servants and other people who receive salaries from the country's budget.

Public servants are primarily:

• Tax officials.
• Customs officers.
• Immigration officers.
• Rospotrebnadzor employees.
• Border guards.

The salaries of these categories of persons are often unknown to ordinary citizens and make up a large share budget spending. The President of the Russian Federation decided that the salaries of civil servants and members of the government would remain unchanged. According to the president, these categories of state employees already receive very good salaries, and its increase will hit the country's budget hard.

The latest news says that in 2017 wage increases are expected for federal employees, these include:

• Senators.
• Ministry employees.
• Deputies.
• Auditors.
• Judicial staff.
• Attorneys General.

Other state employees

The latest news about the increase in salaries of state employees in 2017 cannot but rejoice. The government has not forgotten about the most vulnerable layer of civil servants - teachers, doctors and cultural workers.

It is these people who work for the benefit of our country every day, without looking back at low incomes. It is they who teach our children and save our lives, they bring us cultural values ​​and are not sold for pennies.

The increase in wages for this category of citizens is carried out in stages and by 2018 it will be increased by one and a half times. However, recent news says that not all of these citizens will receive an even increase in payments. Highly qualified employees will receive the biggest increase. These include scientists, physicians the highest category, honored teachers, etc. According to the president, such a measure will be an impetus to personal and professional growth, and hence to an increase in the level of education and healthcare in the country.

Salary indexation in 2017

Today there is a heated debate about whether wages will be indexed in 2017. Indexation is a measure to compensate for the financial losses of state employees due to inflation.

In other words, the higher the inflation of the ruble, the more the state should add to the salaries of civil servants.

This topic is of concern to many public service. However, it is not yet possible to say for sure whether wages will be indexed for government officials. At the moment, the government is discussing this issue. It is possible that indexing will be carried out, but not in full. However, there are proposals to freeze the indexation of officials' salaries altogether. This temporary measure will significantly save the state budget and direct these funds to raise wages for other categories of citizens.

Increase in the minimum wage from 01.07.2017

Since July 1, 2017, Russia has increased minimum size wages. Now the employer cannot pay the employee less than 7800 rubles. The increase is 300 rubles or 4%.
Previously, the minimum wage was increased exactly a year ago - 07/01/2016, then the increase was 20% (from 6204 rubles to 7500 rubles).
The next increase in the minimum wage should be expected no earlier than in half a year - on January 1, 2018, or in a year - on July 1, which is more likely.

News about expected inflation

According to the forecasts of the Central Bank, the inflation rate in Russia in 2017 will not exceed 4%. If inflation does not exceed this threshold, the indexation of civil servants' salaries will become quite possible. Moreover, low inflation will increase the level of investment, which has been significantly reduced in previous years.

It will also give impetus to the strengthening of the foreign exchange market.

Low inflation is a guarantee of financial stability. If the inflation threshold in 2017 does not exceed 4%, the entrepreneurial activity of the population will increase significantly, the financial situation of citizens will stabilize, and further planning will become possible.

Alexander Drozdenko on freezing indexation

According to the governor of the Leningrad region, the extension of the freeze on the indexation of salaries for civil servants will make it possible to equalize the average salary in the region. By canceling the indexation of salaries of officials, ordinary state employees will be able to bring their salaries closer to their level.

According to A.Drozdenko, in the Leningrad region, salaries and bonuses are expected to increase only for those civil servants whose activities are socially oriented. The salaries of other officials will remain unchanged.

A little about pensioners

Despite all the rumors, the indexation of pensions and social benefits in 2017 will remain. The government understands that pensioners are one of the most vulnerable categories of the population and they need state subsidies for a normal existence. However, today it is not possible to index pensions based on inflation. Most likely, indexation will be carried out at the level of inflation in 2016.

The negative news about the indexation of pensions will affect only those pensioners who will remain working after they retire, their subsidies will be frozen. If an elderly person decides to quit his job, he will resume indexing.

Today, the government is also discussing the issue of raising the retirement age. However, this proposal did not find support among the majority of parliamentarians. Time will tell how the pension reform will develop, but for now we will have to hope for an improvement in the economic situation in the country and an early exit from the crisis.

Of course, all these measures instill certain fears in the population. Each of us wants stability and prosperity, but according to the government, at this difficult moment for the country, everything possible must be done to stay afloat and prevent the devaluation of the ruble and the collapse of the economy. Ordinary citizens, according to the president, have nothing to worry about. The most vulnerable segments of the population will not lose state support. Freezing indexation will affect only officials who receive already good salaries.

Vladimir Putin proposed to index the salaries of workers budget organizations not covered by the May Decrees. The Ministry of Labor explained to Gazeta.Ru that we are talking about administrative and support staff: economists, lawyers, engineers, programmers, technicians, electricians, locksmiths, plumbers, cleaners, etc. The President made a reservation that indexation should be carried out taking into account " real opportunities» . Most likely, the new costs will again shift to the regions.

On Wednesday, at a meeting with members of the government, President Vladimir Putin discussed how work is going on in raising the salaries of state employees.

“This is a very significant and sensitive topic for millions of people,” Vladimir Putin stressed. In 2018, it is necessary to reach the set parameters for the “specified” categories of state employees, he recalled.

Putin proposed indexing the salaries of employees of budgetary organizations not covered by the May 2012 decrees.

“The May decrees covered not all public sector employees, not all state employees. For a number of categories of employees of budgetary organizations, wages have not been increased for a long time, for several years, ”Putin said at a meeting with the government and asked the ministers to work out options and submit proposals in this regard.

“I propose to index the wages of just these categories of public sector employees, they are also called “unspecified categories of public sector employees.” Of course, taking into account the real possibilities of both the federal and regional budgets,” the president said.

“And I ask you not to delay, we must discuss this in the near future, bearing in mind that work is now underway to prepare the budget for 2018,” the head of state said.

Categories of employees who will receive a salary increase in 2017

The Ministry of Labor explained to Gazeta.Ru that in social sphere categories of workers who do not receive salary increases in accordance with the decrees of the President of the Russian Federation include administrative workers (economists, lawyers, accountants, personnel officers), engineering and technical and auxiliary workers servicing buildings and equipment (engineers, programmers, technicians, electricians, locksmiths , plumbers, office cleaners), and others.

Putin also noted that there are difficulties in raising the salaries of state employees in some regions, and suggested that everything be done to correct this situation.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev assured that the authorities are making every effort and are looking for additional resources to achieve higher wages for Russians, primarily those who work in education, healthcare and culture, which was laid down in the presidential May decrees.

It should be noted that the main burden of implementing the May decrees lies with the regions. In many ways, this led to an increase in the debt of the subjects of the Federation. As Deputy Minister of Finance Leonid Gornin noted in an interview with Gazeta.Ru, for last years the growth rate of expenditures of the consolidated budgets of the subjects outstripped the growth rates of their own revenues.

“As a result, since 2012, we have also seen an increase in public debt. Since January 1, 2012, it has increased from 1 trillion 171 billion to 2 trillion 318 billion rubles. as of January 1, 2016. This turned out to be the maximum mark, and the debt of the subjects at the beginning of 2016 amounted to 36.5% of their own income,” he noted.

Of course, the federal budget does not provide funds to help the regions for additional wage increases for state employees. But Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on May 24 that in 2017 there is a positive trend in the excess of regional revenues over expenditures.

“This year, the situation with the income and expenses of the subjects is also not bad. Revenues grew by 9.8% from the beginning of the year to May 15, expenses - by 5.4%, as a result, we now see a significant budget surplus, which, of course, will decrease as the planned obligations are fulfilled,” he said. (quoted from RNS).

It is likely that it was this increase in income that allowed federal center speak in favor of indexing the salaries of “unspecified” state employees. Such a maneuver will add points to the authorities before the upcoming presidential elections in March next year, but is unlikely to ease the debt burden of the regions.

In accordance with the May decrees published in 2012 following the results of the election campaign, the salary of doctors, teachers and social workers should increase to 200% of the regional average by 2018. And for junior and middle staff - up to 100%. In March it was reported that this indicator reached 180%.

May decrees were not carried out!

The May decrees in terms of raising the salaries of doctors, teachers and social workers in 2016 were “executed in reverse,” Gazeta.Ru calculated in January, using Rosstat data: salaries not only did not grow, but even decreased in some cases.

The existing gap is unlikely to catch up in 2017, experts say.
Even according to the results of three quarters of 2015, the situation looked better than according to the latest data from Rosstat: in the nine months of last year, the salaries of teachers and doctors decreased relative to the average. In the absence of complete statistics for 2016, Gazeta.Ru compared Rosstat data for three quarters with the same period in 2015 and made sure that there were no positive changes in wages for all key categories of workers.

Rosstat did not publish data on the average salary

The ratio to the average salary in the region - the main marker of the May decrees - Rosstat stopped publishing last year. The last time such data was published at the end of 2015: then the average salary of doctors was 156% of the average salary in Russia.

For the three quarters of 2016, the picture has changed for the worse: the ratio to the average salary in Russia for this period was 137%, Gazeta.Ru calculated. The salaries of teachers and social workers are also not approaching the target indicators of decrees, according to Rosstat.

Based on the 137% achieved in the three quarters of 2016, it turns out that the salaries of doctors for the year - from October 1, 2016 to October 1, 2017 - should show an increase of 63 percentage points against the average salary, which, according to government calculations, will also be grow. Such a gap is too large to consider the implementation of the May decrees possible, experts say.

In 2017, the wages of state employees will be increased, now the monetary volumes are being determined. This was stated Minister of Labor of the Russian Federation Maxim Topilin.

“There will definitely be an increase, the orders must be followed. The increase in salaries for state employees will be next year, this year there is just an increase in salaries, in accordance with the decree, the specified categories,” the minister said.

According to Topilin, "the money has not yet been determined, while the budget process, the calculations are all there, while the statistics are changing."

How much can you raise your salary?

The amount of indexation of salaries of state employees and payments to pensioners in the expanded budget for 2017-2020 will amount to 5.3 trillion rubles, including for federal budget- 3.5 trillion rubles. Such data was provided by Vnesheconombank in mid-August in its medium-term forecast economic development Russia

According to the calculations of its analysts, the increase in salaries of public sector workers will amount to 2.3 trillion rubles.

What was the salary of state employees 100 years ago?

Accounts Chamber on the occasion of the 360th anniversary financial control published an analysis of wage data in pre-revolutionary Russia, converting these values ​​into modern rubles. The department published the results of the study on Facebook.

So, in 1913, a janitor received 18 rubles, which, in terms of modern money, is equal to 27,200 rubles, while the salary of a colonel was 325 rubles, which would now amount to 492,000 rubles. A gymnasium teacher in 1913 received 85 rubles, which today is equivalent to 129,000 rubles. Officials were paid a salary of 62 rubles, which is equal to 94,000 rubles. currently.

At the same time, the Accounts Chamber notes that the purchasing power of the ruble at that time was much less, since the prices for goods and products were very high. “According to the journal Science and Life, the average family spent at least 20-25 rubles on food. (this is approximately 30,300-37,800 modern rubles), and a small apartment in Moscow cost at least 15-20 rubles. (22,700-30,300 rubles), ”the agency cites the data.

The department also notes that the working day before the revolution lasted 10 hours, and holidays in their current sense did not exist.

Creative workers in the cultural sphere, which is in state care, are now in anticipation of increased pay. This is important, because salary restrictions are appropriate, and you need to fight for an increase, having completed your tasks with high quality. It's time to find out more if it will be in 2017. Time shows that even this issue needs to be dealt with for quite a long time and actively.

Employees representing culture can be recognized by readers by their activities in films, various types art and more. However, not all fellow citizens employed in these areas are considered cultural figures. This category of employees can include those who carry out their work professionally: directors, actors, theater workers, as well as museum employees. All of these specialists have to work within the walls of state institutions.

For the most part, the listed professions are consonant with little attention from the budget, and therefore they are usually underestimated. To change the situation, years and days are often declared thematic. However, these introductions are not effective at all. So the scope professional activity thousands of citizens are still waiting for the crisis to come to an end, I would like the government to pay close attention to all workers who are ready to provide leisure, cultural development of the population.

In the future, there are opportunities for salary increases!

Back in 2012, the President issued May decrees regarding the cultural sphere, workers and other state employees. According to the contents of the documents, it will be possible to talk and think about salary increases after a six-year period from the moment the decree was issued. So at the present time, a salary revision to a significant extent is not yet possible to implement.

The only thing that remains for employees of theaters and other stages may be the indexation of salaries for cultural workers in 2017 in Russia. This is also feasible for other areas of professional activity, and the amount of salaries is also similar to the various positions of economists, doctors and other state employees. However, by the time 2018 comes, the difference with the rest of the state employees will turn out to be significant. So far, the rates remain the same, because due to the deterioration of the situation with the state treasury in many budgetary areas, there has been a lull in terms of salary increases.

People are hearing about the cancellation of indexation for the period of 2016. However, without official confirmation, this information is worthless. It is better not to give up slack, because time is fleeting and can lead to any outcome. After all, from raising the level of inflation to freezing this recalculation is within easy reach. Moreover, the situation can be reversed and not with better side. After all, in the future it is possible to remain without a place at all.

Concerns about layoffs in the cultural sector

Often, all news related to a massive increase in salaries in the public sector is accompanied by data on the reduction officials. This is true in times of crisis. The wave affects two working oceans at once - commercial and budgetary. In this mood, it is possible to get a positive feedback from management regarding whether there will be a reduction in cultural workers in 2017.

Of course, layoffs are indispensable in the cultural sector as well. By narrowing the staff, it becomes more efficient to optimize the financial part in the cultural sphere. This is an easier way to ensure the full range of social obligations. Interestingly, the management even sometimes assumes responsibility for the sale of property on the balance sheet of the institution. And all this in order to increase the salaries of cultural workers in Russia, the latest news of which can be found in the media, be positive. At the same time, planned layoffs have already taken place in the Ministry and other departments due to optimization. Now, the likelihood of a second narrowing of positions is unlikely.

There is an alternative to abbreviations

Cultural workers are offered to fight with their own efforts for an increase in wages in various ways. So, with the help of incentive tools, you can achieve a significant increase in your wallet. This method is more relevant than ever for contemporaries in many budgetary areas, from medical to educational organizations.

Of course, no one is deprived of the basic part of the salary. But for the stimulating one still needs to work hard. And the better you can fulfill your duties, the greater the surplus part of your wages will be. With this system, layoffs are simplified. The worse the employee works, the faster he becomes applicants for termination of the contract. After all, even in culture they will not tolerate lazy people and loafers.

Changing positions, and with them responsibilities, is possible these days. Then the rate of a cultural worker for 2017 in the Russian Federation may change. Definitely, it’s much better to be demoted than to lose any place at all and be unemployed in a time of crisis, when there are already a lot of laid-off and destitute people who need to go back to get qualified, look for a new workplace. Now for the basic part, you need to work hard, earn it and master the increase through your own efforts, initiative to work, creativity, and overall professional activity.
