Increase in the minimum wage this year. Minimum wage (minimum wage). Regulatory acts and planned innovations

The abbreviation MROT stands for minimum wage and is used in modern economics for many purposes. Let's consider the dynamics of the minimum wage, as well as the features of the indicator.

What is it and why is it necessary?

The minimum wage is the minimum wage established at the federal level. He can pay for a certain period of time– hour, day, week, month, year.

The employer undertakes to pay his employee exactly the amount that is established, no less (more is possible). This bar can be set legally and informally.

Although this indicator is used in most countries of the world, there is no clear opinion regarding the benefits and harms of its use.

Eat multiple tasks, for the solution of which the minimum wage indicator is used:

optimal regulation wages;
the possibility of determining the amount of benefits for temporary disability;
settlement actions for the payment of benefits related to pregnancy and childbirth;
compulsory social insurance.

Regulatory acts and planned innovations

Regulations on certain procedures are established in the Labor Code, Article 133. According to the current provisions of the law, the monthly payment for the work of an employee who has fully worked for a given period is cannot be lower than the minimum payment rate.

The establishment of the optimal indicator is carried out within the framework of federal legislation. If we talk about the data for 2015, then this parameter was 5965 rubles, and from the next year it increased by 250 rubles. In 2017, this criterion increased even more. In 2018, in January the minimum wage was 9,489 rubles, from May 1 - 11,163 rubles.

According to Part 1 of Art. 133, the minimum wage established throughout the country cannot be smaller value than the cost of living.

If an employer pays employees wages that do not exceed the minimum wage, then this may lead to administrative liability in the future.

Minimum wage in Russia

Let's look at the table, which shows the dynamics of growth of the indicator over the years - from 2008 to 2018.

Annual period for establishing the minimum wage	Minimum wage value, rubles
Since 2009, from January 1	4330
Since 2011, from June 1	4611
Since 2013, from January 1	5205
Since 2014, from January 1	5564
From 2015, from January 1	5965
From 2016, from January 1	6204
Since 2016, from July 1	7500
From 2017, from July 1	7800
From 2018, from January 1	9489
From 2018, from May 1	11 163

Based on the tabular data, we can conclude that in recent years there have been active growth rates of this indicator. The closer we get to 2017-2018, the more the minimum wage increases. Practice includes several cases, in which the recalculation of this value was observed 2 times a year, in particular in 2016, 2018, and changes twice a year occurred in 2001, 2005.

How much is the cost of living?

In Russia there is a law according to which the minimum wage must be no less than the subsistence level. In 2018, in this regard, there was the equation, and the quantities have identical meanings.

Since the beginning of 2018, the minimum wage has been 85% of the subsistence level and equaled the amount of 9,489 rubles. As of May The minimum wage is equal to the subsistence level.

Federal minimum wage

In general, on the territory of Russia it is established two indicators– for calculation of wages and for calculating penalties, penalties, benefits.

To calculate salaries

From January 2002 to the beginning of 2010, the minimum wage indicator was used to regulation of wages and determination of the dimensional values of various benefits.

Until 2002, this criterion was also used to solve other problems. For example, to accurately determine the amount of benefits for temporary disability, for compensation for harm at work, occupational diseases and other injuries. In order to solve these problems, since 2018, an indicator of RUB 11,163.

In many Russian regions to determine payment labor actions is also used regional minimum wage. That is, it turns out that legislators of certain regions have the right to establish their size wages.

Eat several sides, by which the optimal minimum wage indicator is determined:

the government, which is responsible for the economy of a particular subject, can act in its role locality, region, region or region;
associations related to employers, these can be unions of craftsmen, workers industrial sphere, entrepreneurs;
Federation of Trade Unions.

After all agreements have been negotiated, employers are invited to join the new rules.

For fines, taxes, penalties

If it is necessary to determine exactly these quantities, then previously for these purposes it was practiced to use base amount. Its size has undergone numerous changes since 2001 and remained equal to 100 rubles.

But at present, the dependence of the fine amount on the minimum payment amount is established by law, which regulates these amounts in fixed amounts. For example, fines for administrative or criminal offenses are not counted in the minimum wage indicator, but are expressed in the form specific amount.

It turns out that currently penalties and other sanctions, according to general requirements Russian legislation, are subject to calculation in fixed amounts and are not related to the minimum wage. In connection with this reason, the base amount, which was previously used in the process of calculating and calculating penalty amounts, is currently considered irrelevant.

But today the minimum wage is relevant when determining minimum wages and calculating the amounts of social benefits due.

Minimum wage in large regions

If we consider the data for 2018, then in almost all regions the level of 11,163 rubles applies. In some - higher.

85 regions of Russia have established a minimum wage.

Living wage and consumer basket

The subsistence level is the minimum income level, which is the necessary amount to ensure and maintain the average standard of living in the country. This indicator represents approximate cost of the consumer basket.

The cost of living is calculated separately for each region. It is also determined for various categories population – pensioners, children, able-bodied citizens.

approximate estimated list of commodity items, which characterizes the typical structure of annual consumption of one person. This value can also be calculated for the whole family.

It is advisable to use this set for settlement transactions for the minimum consumer budget (subsistence level). This is a kind of basis for comparing the calculated and real consumer levels.

If we consider the structural composition of the annual consumer basket, then for an able-bodied person it includes next year's product set:

potatoes – 100.4 kg;
bread products (bread and pasta in terms of cereals, flour, legumes) – 126.5 kg;
vegetables and melons - 114.6 kg;
fresh fruits - 60 kg;
meat products and semi-finished products – 58.6 kg;
fish products - 18.5 kg;
milk and dairy products - 290 kg;
vegetable oil, margarine and other fats - 11 kg;
eggs – 210 pcs;
other products (salt, tea, spices) - 4.9 kg.

In addition to this, it is also worth considering non-food products, which include half the amount spent on groceries. In addition, it is worth considering communal payments with other services, which are conventionally taken as a norm of 50% of the cost indicator of the food basket.

Responsibility for paying wages below the minimum wage

If an employer pays an employee a salary below the subsistence level, he bears some responsibility.

Administrative- in this case we're talking about about a fine in the amount of 1000 to 5000 rubles. For legal entities these figures increase and range from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles. Possible suspension commercial work for 3 months.
Criminal. It implies the need to pay a fine in the amount of 100,000 to 500,000 rubles. or deprivation of the right to hold leadership positions for 3 years. In some cases, the punishment involves imprisonment.

Thus, the minimum wage plays important role in the life of the country and regions. A competent approach to its calculation guarantees the people a good standard of living.

Several concepts are used to characterize the minimum wage for Moscow and the region

Minimum wage (minimum wage) in Russia

The minimum wage is established federal law throughout the Russian Federation and is used as a regulator of salary levels, as well as to determine the amount of benefits for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth, etc. The minimum wage is not used for other purposes

in 2014 - 5,554 rubles

Minimum salary in Moscow

The minimum wage (hereinafter referred to as the minimum wage) is established at the regional level by concluding a regional agreement. The minimum wage cannot be lower than the minimum wage. By default, all employers in the region (LLCs and individual entrepreneurs) join this agreement and must apply the minimum wage to determine the salary level of their employees

Minimum wage in the Moscow region

Employee salary

The employee’s salary is set by the employer, but it cannot be less than the minimum salary if the employee is employed full-time

At the same time, the employee’s salary is understood as not just the salary established staffing table, and the total salary, which includes the following payments

employee's salary

additional payments and allowances for work in conditions deviating from normal, work in special climatic conditions, for work on holidays and non-working days holidays and so on.

additional payments and bonuses of an incentive nature (bonuses for achieving specific results and other incentive payments)

Therefore, when checking whether an employee’s salary corresponds to the minimum wage, additional payments and salary allowances must be taken into account, since they are included in the employee’s salary

Salaries of part-time and part-time employees

If an employee works part-time or part-time, then the salary of such employees can be set in proportion to the time worked

Therefore, the minimum wage for part-time and part-time workers can be calculated based on the minimum wage and the actual time worked (volume of work performed)

Moreover, the salary of such employees may be below the minimum

Responsibility for non-payment of wages and payment below the minimum wage

An employer may be held administratively liable by decision of the labor inspectorate when carrying out planned or unscheduled inspection in an organization or by court decision, if an employee contacts the prosecutor’s office regarding payment of wages below the minimum wage

Such an act may be qualified as a violation of the requirements labor legislation and provides for the following liability measures

for an organization - a fine from 30 thousand rubles to 50 thousand rubles or suspension of activities for up to 90 days

for an official (for example, a manager) of an organization - a fine from 1 thousand rubles to 5 thousand rubles

for individual entrepreneurs - a fine from 1 thousand rubles to 5 thousand rubles Instead of a fine, administrative suspension of the activities of an individual entrepreneur for a period of up to 90 days can be applied

In the event of a repeated similar violation, an official of an organization or individual entrepreneur may be disqualified by the court for a period of one to three years.

If Labour Inspectorate or the court qualifies the payment of wages below the minimum wage as a violation or failure to fulfill obligations under the collective agreement, then official organizations (for example, a manager) may apply the following types of responsibility

issuing a warning

fine from 3 thousand rubles to 5 thousand rubles

If the court finds that the payment of wages below the minimum wage was made for personal gain for more than two months, the head of the organization or individual entrepreneur may be brought to justice criminal liability, incl. in the form of a fine of 100 thousand rubles. up to 500 thousand rubles

If it is established that payment of wages in an amount below the minimum wage has resulted in serious consequences, then the head of the organization or individual entrepreneur may be brought to criminal liability in the form of a fine in the amount of 200 thousand rubles to 500 thousand rubles

In the absence of a valid regional agreement or when the amount established by the regional agreement is lower than the minimum wage, the federal minimum wage applies.

The minimum wage in Moscow is reviewed quarterly and is set at the subsistence level of the working population of Moscow, approved by a resolution of the Moscow Government.

The minimum wage (minimum wage) at the state level is approved by the relevant federal law. The minimum wage is valid throughout Russia and cannot be less than the subsistence level of able-bodied citizens for the 2nd quarter of the previous year for the purpose of calculating wages (Article 1 of the Law “On Minimum Wages” dated June 19, 2000 No. 82-FZ). In other words, an employee who has actually worked the established labor agreement standard time, cannot receive a salary less than the established minimum wage. If an employer pays a salary less than the minimum wage, he faces a fine under clause 6 of Art. 5.27 Code of Administrative Offenses:

from 10,000 to 20,000 rub. on officials;
from 30,000 to 50,000 rub. for legal entities;
from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles. for individual entrepreneurs operating without forming a legal entity.

If previously neither the social nor financial departments of the Russian Federation, nor parliamentarians could establish compliance of the minimum wage with the subsistence level, then in March 2018 the President of the Russian Federation signed Law No. 41-FZ dated 03/07/2018, the norms of which determined that from 05/01/2018 the minimum wage will be equal to the subsistence level of the working-age population for the 2nd quarter of last year.

Thus The minimum wage as of May 1, 2018 was 11,163 rubles. The Ministry of Labor approved the cost of living for the 2nd quarter of 2018 in the amount of 11,280 rubles. And since the cost of living for the 2nd quarter of 2018 is equal to the minimum wage for 2019, then from 01/01/2019 the value of the federal minimum wage is 11,280 rubles.

The same applies to the minimum wage for 2020. It is equal to the cost of living for the 2nd quarter of 2019, which is 12,130 rubles. (see order of the Ministry of Labor dated 08/09/2019 No. 561n)

The minimum wage regulates not only wages, but also the amount of benefits (including maternity benefits), and until the end of 2017, the amount of contributions for individual entrepreneurs. Let's look at how the minimum wage changed over the period from 2013 to 2018.

Minimum wage for 2015-2018 in Russia

The minimum wage in 2015 was 5,965 rubles. (Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated December 1, 2014 No. 408-FZ).

The minimum wage 2016, introduced on January 1, 2016, amounted to 6,204 rubles. (Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated December 14, 2015 No. 376-FZ). From 07/01/2016 it was increased to 7,500 rubles. (Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated June 2, 2016 No. 164-FZ).

Since the beginning of 2017, the value of the minimum wage has not changed, remaining equal to the value 7,500 rubles, valid from 07/01/2016. However, from July 1, 2017, the minimum wage increased to 7,800 rubles. (Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated December 19, 2016 No. 460-FZ).

Since January 2018, the minimum wage has increased to 9,489 rubles. From 05/01/2018, as mentioned above, 11,163 rubles.

Read about the role of the minimum wage in setting wages in the material "St. 135 Labor Code of the Russian Federation: questions and answers" .

What changes did the minimum wage undergone in 2015-2016 in comparison with the subsistence level?

The minimum wage for the years 2015 and 2016 did not increase as significantly as the cost of living increased. Therefore, the value of the ratio between them decreased, amounting to:

57% of the cost of living in 2015;
63% of the cost of living at the beginning of 2016;
76% of the cost of living in the 3rd quarter of 2016.

What is the minimum wage in 2014

As noted above in accordance with Art. 133 Labor Code the minimum wage in 2014 (as in all other years) should not have been less than the subsistence level established for able-bodied persons in Russia. However, in 2014, the cost of living established for an able-bodied person increased from 8,283 to 8,885 rubles. At the same time, the minimum wage in 2014 was only 5,554 rubles.

What changes in the minimum wage occurred in 2013

The minimum wage in 2013 was 5,205 rubles, which is 39.4 times more than at the beginning of 2000. The minimum wage in 2013 in Russia was equal to 68.2% of the subsistence level for able-bodied persons for the same period. At the same time, in 2000, the minimum wage was 9.33 times less than the subsistence level for able-bodied persons.

Such excesses are explained by the fact that until 2010 the minimum wage was used not only to regulate the level of wages, but also to determine the amount of various socially significant benefits. In 2013-2014, the ratio between the minimum wage and the subsistence level fluctuates at around 67-68%, without demonstrating significant positive dynamics.

Limit base for calculating contributions to the Pension Fund in 2014-2018 and the minimum wage

The minimum wage in 2014 began to be used when calculating the amount of insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs, and this procedure was applied until the end of 2017, despite the fact that insurance premiums came under control since 2017 tax authorities and began to obey the provisions of the corresponding chapter of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for calculating contributions paid by individual entrepreneurs to the funds implied that the minimum wage established at the beginning of the tax period was multiplied by 12 months and by the insurance rate of the state fund (PFR, MHIF). If the income received by the entrepreneur for the year exceeds the amount of 300,000 rubles. from the amount of this excess, he had to pay another 1% (subclause 1, clause 1, article 430 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
