At the end of 2018, the State Duma approved an updated version of the recommendations on the establishment of an updated remuneration system for employees of budgetary institutions, including teachers. This decision was determined by the tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations. At the same time, the rules that were in force before that have lost their force and will not be used in 2019. Today we will talk about changes in the system of remuneration of teachers and how the approach to this issue will change.

In 2019 with new indicators and without wage cuts

Starting from 2019, the remuneration of teachers will be calculated taking into account the new indicator. From now on, when forming the income of teachers and professors, the average monthly earnings of employees of private companies and individual entrepreneurs are taken into account without fail. Starting this year, this criterion must be taken into account when developing cost plans aimed at increasing the wages of teachers and employees of other budgetary areas. In July 2018, the government of the Russian Federation issued a decree, according to which Rosstat was obliged to prepare the above data by 04/15/2019.

When the tripartite group discussed the new regulations, a clause was introduced into the document on the inadmissibility of lowering the wages of employees of kindergartens, schools and state universities. In accordance with this norm, in 2019 the level of remuneration of teachers will not be lower than in 2018. Accordingly, teachers from kindergartens will receive a salary not lower than the average for Russia (last year - just over 28,000 rubles).

Another important news for teachers was the inclusion of the minimum wage indicator. Last year, this figure was at the level of 6,200 rubles. The new recommendations determine that an employee of an educational institution cannot receive a salary below the established indicator, provided that he fully complied with the established norm and worked a sufficient number of hours. However, no one is immune from situations in which the teacher will work less time than he should. If an employee had to face such a nuisance, the calculation of wages will be based on the actual hours worked, starting from the minimum wage.

In order to ensure the full implementation of the recommendations in the institution, the employer, as well as representatives of the authorities, need to pay attention to some aspects. In particular, these include:

1. Establishment of wages should be carried out in accordance with the qualification group of the employee.
2. If an employee of a budgetary institution works in a position that is not related to professional categories, his salary rate is calculated based on the difficulty of the duties assigned to him.
3. It is imperative to take into account the need to use incentive payments and all kinds of compensation. This issue should be reflected in regional and municipal regulations.
4. Only the head of a kindergarten, school, university, or other budget organization has the right to approve the staffing table.
5. After the introduction of new recommendations in an educational institution, the teacher's income should not be less than it was before. This rule applies to all employees, without exception, whose work rate has remained at the same level or has increased.
6. The rate of remuneration should be determined based on the performance of the employee's own professional duties over a certain period of time (week, month, year).

As for the labor norm of teachers, now its change in one direction or another will directly affect the final earnings. Therefore, the recommendations provide for the reflection of the actual workload of the teacher in the labor agreement. This rule applies to employees such as:

• school teachers;
• university teachers;
• coaches of children's sports sections;
• persons involved in activities in the field of additional education.

Taking into account these innovations, any changes in the working time of the teacher should also be reflected in the labor agreement. In this case, you should remember the conditions under which this may become possible:

• by agreement of the parties to the contract;
• in exceptional cases - unilaterally by the head of the educational institution. This norm can be used if the amount of working time according to the curriculum has decreased, the educational organization has not recruited a sufficient number of students, etc.

Another important innovation is the additional attention to teachers with secondary specialized education. The recommendations provide for the impossibility of infringing on the labor rights of employees who do not have a higher education. Accordingly, reduction coefficients can no longer be used for a specialty that requires an employee with a diploma of higher education. Thus, the absence of the necessary document will no longer allow the employer to save on the remuneration of an employee of an educational institution. In this regard, he is equal in rights with teachers with higher education.

Today, these recommendations have been approved by a considerable number of educators. Indeed, the new document significantly expanded their opportunities in terms of remuneration and increased their protection from illegal actions of the head of the educational organization. It is expected that these recommendations will be valid in the next few years and gradually refined so that the income of teachers has grown to a decent level.

Recently, Russia has been characterized by a not too high level of funding for the education system, which is why teachers and teachers are dissatisfied with their salaries, which are impossible to feed their families. Many state structures and ministries are puzzled by the search for opportunities to increase salaries for Russian teachers in 2017. Since Russia has not fully coped with the crisis in which it has been for several years, public sector workers have to feel its blows.

School teachers never received high salaries, and after the development of the economic crisis, the situation worsened altogether. The financial component really plays a huge role in choosing a profession, so the prestige of the teacher began to gradually decline.

Rosstat specialists conducted a survey, which helped them to reveal that teachers in general education schools receive about 18-20 thousand rubles.

Moreover, the income of residents of large cities was taken into account. In small settlements, the situation is even worse: teachers there earn about 13,000-15,000 rubles.

In this regard, the authorities have adopted a number of new bills aimed at increasing the teaching rate this year.

Moreover, the scientific workload will also be increased, which will affect both teachers and school students, and such innovations should be paid accordingly.

Earlier, the President signed a decree that the salaries of state employees should increase annually and by 2018 their level should increase by 150% compared to 2012.

After the decree was signed, indexation was carried out, and the budget allocated a fairly large amount to increase the salaries of state employees. However, following the onset of the crisis, activities to comply with the requirements were suspended.

The indexing procedure was frozen, and then carried out only partially. I must say that the indexation of teachers' salaries in 2017 is planned in full, that is, they increase by 5.5%, while inflation will reach 6%. Such indexing will fully cover the increase in the cost of food and utilities. Despite this, to call this salary big will not work.

Discussing the question of what will happen to teachers' salaries in the near future, members of the government decided to reorganize the education system of the Russian Federation and introduce "effective contracts", which are employment contracts. In these documents, in addition to official duties, the criteria for the quality and efficiency of work are also discussed. Consequently, only those employees who will seriously approach the performance of their duties and constantly strive for self-improvement will be able to count on high wages.

In fact, an increase in teachers' salaries should be a motivation for teachers to strive to improve their skills: writing scientific papers, defending dissertations and obtaining new academic titles. And this will have the best effect on the quality of education of schoolchildren.

It should be noted that teachers in ordinary schools have never been able to boast of high salaries. In addition, during the crisis, the situation worsened so much that the prestige of the profession of a teacher fell significantly. The authorities cannot but react to this, because it is teachers who give children knowledge.

Therefore, it is important that those come to schools who can not only subtract material and give grades, but also help them develop as individuals.

Not everyone can fulfill these responsibilities, so there is nothing surprising in the fact that many believe that a teacher should be born, and not become.

Without the prestige of the profession, one should not expect that the best of the best will go to schools. In addition, it is not necessary to hope that with a low level of income of teachers, children will receive a quality education.

As a survey conducted by Rosstat recently showed, employees of general education school institutions today receive about 18-20 thousand rubles. But these statistics include the salaries of teachers in large cities. And in villages and small towns, teachers earn about 13-15 thousand rubles. Of course, salaries are higher in private schools, but there are not so many such schools in the country.

And the fact that it is now difficult to live on a salary lower than 20 thousand rubles in Russia, the authorities are well aware. Therefore, a number of new bills have been adopted that will increase the salaries of teachers in 2017. Thus, these changes imply an increase in the scientific workload, but it will also be paid accordingly.

According to the authorities, the salary will act as an incentive for employees of educational institutions to perform their job duties in a quality manner. The new level of salaries in schools will also help reduce corruption in this area. It will allow many teachers to refuse private students, whom they prepare in their spare time for studying at universities, receiving additional remuneration for this. The free time they will be able to devote to preparing for the lessons. All this only means that the increase in salaries for teachers in 2017 is an urgent need.

The new payroll method adopted in 2015 (On Improving Statistical Accounting) lowered this figure by more than 12 percent. Based on this, the government does not plan to index payments to state employees and salaries will not increase from January 1, 2017. Thus, teacher salaries become dependent on the regional average. Each region has been given the task of raising the salaries of teachers in 2017, but it will be solved in different ways. Judging by the news available at this moment, official indexation for state employees will be carried out from April 1, 2017.

So, given that the country is still struggling with the crisis, the government will not be able to allocate a large amount from the budget to increase the income of this category of the population. Earlier, the President signed a decree, which describes the information that the salaries of state employees should increase annually, so that by the 18th year their level has increased by 150% compared to 2012. We are talking about the so-called May decrees of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

After the signing of these decrees, indexation was carried out. A large amount was allocated from the budget to increase the salaries of state employees. Many Russians were happy about this, but with the onset of the crisis, the process of raising teachers' salaries stopped. The authorities had to freeze the indexing procedure, and then carry it out, but only partially, however, it must be said that the indexation of teachers' salaries in 2017 in Russia is planned in full, that is, they increase by 5.5%. But at the same time, inflation, according to official forecasts, may reach 6%.

In reality, inflation can be 1-2% higher. However, indexing will almost completely cover the increase in the cost of food and utilities.

Earlier, the government said that the education system would be reorganized in Russia. So-called "efficient contracts" will appear. They are, in fact, like employment contracts. But they also discuss more quality criteria and performance. When signing such a contract, only those employees of educational institutions who will take their job duties seriously and constantly strive for self-improvement will be able to count on a high salary.

In Russia, the financial systems of education are not at a very high level, so teachers and teachers often complain about excessively low salaries, which are unrealistic to live on. For a long time, the state began to discuss the possibility of raising the salaries of teachers in the Russian Federation.

The latest news from the press about this is also often mentioned, only the Russians still have no big reasons for joy. Russia is still not out of the crisis in which it has been stuck since the end of 2014. So public sector employees feel it more and more.

Who are teachers

Nowadays, the teacher is one of the most popular professions in the country, which originally arose as an educational method of teaching generations for their successful entry into social life. As Confucius, the famous philosopher, said, the task of every teacher is to open new horizons for the reflection of his students.

In other words, such a person must teach something to the student, and also give him an impetus so that he strives to acquire knowledge on his own. Of course, not everyone can master such a profession. It's pretty hard after all. Looking at one popular media, a teacher should have the following qualities:

• be able to communicate in different styles;
• have the ability to empathize;
• have creative thinking;
• be self-confident and radiate cheerfulness;
• have the ability to reflect.

And, if you look at such a list of qualities, you can conclude that being a teacher is not as easy as it seems at first glance. So this work should be paid accordingly.

Statistics are not good

As the Minister of Education said, more than 200,000 superfluous specialists work in the country's schools. Only, this is not entirely true. In many Russian educational institutions one can see a shortage of workers. Yes, and it is very difficult to form a teaching staff. The saddest situation can be called the one where there are 20-30 students per teacher in schools.

It is also difficult to find a person who would want to teach rural children, because no one wants to work for 8-10 thousand rubles. If we talk about the salary of school workers located in large cities, then the salary here is much higher - 20, 40. In some schools in Yakutia, the salary is 50 thousand rubles. Only here in such cities and life is more expensive.

Should we expect a salary increase in 2017?

In 2017, teachers' incomes will still grow, because this planned event has been fixed by a federal presidential decree since 2012. Such a text of the draft law on salaries says that they should increase by 1.5-2 times, compared with the level of the 12th year. so every year there should be an increase in them.

For this purpose, a special income indexing program was created. Under the system, workers' salaries are multiplied each year by the inflation rate. Such an event was already canceled last year, because there were quite a few funds in the state budget. But in 2017, the indexation of teachers' salaries will still be according to plan - on April 1. In this area, you can also see some changes, because now the salary is not multiplied by the coefficient that corresponds to inflation, by 12 percent, but only by 5.5 percent.

Teachers' salaries will thus increase, but the recalculation will not particularly cover the difference between the average income of each person and the high cost of services and goods. However, indexation can make teachers' salaries very high, especially if they work in the outback.

Wages in the public sector are an important socio-economic indicator that in one way or another affects the size of salaries in commercial organizations. Therefore, many managers and employees often have the question: what is the increase in salaries for state employees in 2020? 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 2020.

In 2018, the Government, executing the “May Decrees” of the President on raising the salaries of state employees (2020), approved the allocation of 14.5 billion rubles to finance the increase in the salaries of certain categories of employees of budgetary institutions. Salary indexation is also planned for 2020. 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 state bodies, civilian personnel of military units, institutions and subdivisions of federal executive bodies in which the law provides for military service and equivalent service.

Besides, Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated June 13, 2019 No. 279 “On increasing the official salaries of judges in the Russian Federation” from October 1, 2020, salaries will also increase for judges of all ranks: from judges of the Constitutional and Supreme Courts to justices of the peace of 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 state 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 salary increase for state employees in 2020 was provided for the so-called “other categories” and what will be the salary increase for state employees in 2020 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 regulatory legal acts 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 2020). Since statistics were sampled for all regions and cities, for small towns this figure turned out to be too high: in practice, doctors and teachers in small municipalities can receive only 12,000-15,000 rubles a month. In general, the picture of average salaries by industry of public sector employees and regions is presented in the table, formed on the basis of Rosstat data on average salaries 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 2020.

Salary of state employees in 2020

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 2020, 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 professors and doctors (health workers with higher education), the salary level should be at least 200% of the average salary in the region;
• for middle and junior medical staff and social workers, the salary level 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 2020 and for the planning period of 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 Teachers of educational, medical organizations and organizations providing social services to orphans and those left without parental care	HR Specialists Complex rehabilitation specialists Engineering and support workers serving buildings and equipment: technicians, electricians, locksmiths, plumbers, office cleaners. Social psychologists Accountants and economists Engineers Programmers Investigators Firefighters Judges, prosecutors Military personnel and their equivalents
Salary increase from September 1, 2020 - by 6.0%, in 2020 - by 5.4%, in 2021 - by 6.6%	Salary increase from October 1, 2020 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. Thus, the roadmap for the Sverdlovsk region to increase wages 2020 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 the Government allocated an additional 2.9 billion rubles from the federal treasury to raise salaries for state employees in 2020 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 raise the salaries of state employees who are not subject to May decrees by 10% in 2020.

As you know, a school teacher is a rather broad concept that combines several specialties. Therefore, teachers receive different salaries, depending on many conditions, from a specific position to the specifics of the region and the status of the school. However, the procedure for calculating salaries and allowances for employees of Russian public schools is general, so it can be applied, in particular, when calculating the salary of a primary school teacher.

Components of wages

The salary of teachers consists of:

• base part;
• compensatory;
• incentive payments;
• premiums.

In ordinary schools, where there are no correction classes and other special conditions, the calculation of the teacher's salary depends on the number of lessons and the number of students. It also takes into account extracurricular workload, for example, checking homework, fulfilling the duties of a class teacher, and so on. There are also coefficients depending on the experience of the teacher and the category of his qualification.

Compensation payments are provided if the teacher works at night, in dangerous conditions, in particular, with chemical reagents. Incentive payments are included in the premiums and are intended to encourage the teacher for the good performance of students in passing exams, the victory of students in olympiads, the introduction of new didactic teaching materials and other successes in work. However such bonus cannot exceed 60% of salary. Bonuses for teachers are carried out according to the principle of other budgetary institutions: quarterly and annual bonuses are paid, and a certain amount is accrued by the holidays.

The salaries of teachers must undergo annual indexation, which amounted, for example, in 2016 to 7%.

How is the salary of a high school teacher calculated?

Today, there are several electronic online programs for calculating the salaries of teachers on the Internet. These programs, of course, require data verification, but on average they are able to suggest how to calculate the teacher's salary. Calculations can also be done manually.

First, you need to take the base rate (20 hours a week for elementary school) salary, which today is 3000-3500 rubles. Increasing coefficients can be applied to the base rate if the teacher:

• teaches in the village (0.25);
• in a correctional institution (0.2);
• in a boarding school for orphans (0.2);
• in a boarding school (0.15);
• has skills in teaching local dialects, for example, the Chechen language (0.15).

The available coefficients are added to it:

• for the teacher's higher education;
• qualification category;
• honorary title (up to 0.2);
• work experience;
• the presence of a scientific degree (10% for a candidate's and 20% for a doctoral dissertation);
• the status of an educational institution (lyceum or gymnasium), which gives a supplement of 0.15.

The management of an educational institution has the right to set coefficients for the complexity of the discipline being taught. These payments are made from the funds of the school itself, so the state does not regulate them.

Other types of payments are added to the base rate. So how to calculate the salary of a primary school teacher?

Approximate calculation of the real income of a primary school teacher with secondary qualifications

To make it clear to a person what to expect from work in primary school, an approximate calculation can be made. The data obtained is relevant at the beginning of 2017. To determine the salary, we take the following data:

• average work experience (from 5 to 10 years), which gives + 10% to the salary;
• the first category (coefficient 1.5);
• complete higher pedagogical education, for which an allowance in the amount of a third of the base rate is due;
• the alleged teacher allegedly works in a regular school and does not have additional merit in the form of honorary titles and academic degrees;
• schools set coefficients for the complexity of subjects, but there is no such allowance for an ordinary elementary school teacher;
• 15% of the salary is paid for classroom management in primary school;
• another 10% is due to compensate for the time spent checking notebooks;
• exactly the same amount is paid to the head of the study room, which is usually available to the primary school teacher.

As a result of the calculation it turned out the amount of 10115.88 rubles. It is on such income that a person who wants to work in an elementary school should be guided.

Average salary of teachers

As can be seen, the basic salary at school still falls short of the regional averages. Nevertheless, in our time, regional incentive programs are being implemented, under which bonuses are paid to teachers. This allows us to significantly bring the size of teacher salaries closer to the average. In addition, regular mandatory bonuses, which generally serve as a good addition to the basic salary, cannot be left out of the picture.
