Quarterly increase to the cost of living

The minimum wage (minimum wage) in Moscow takes on a new meaning based on the results of each quarter. The fact is that the minimum wage in Moscow depends on the subsistence level of the working population. If living wage increases, then from the first day of the month following the month of increase, the minimum wage also increases. This is provided for in paragraphs 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 of the Moscow Government Decree No. 858-PP dated December 15, 2015 “On the draft Moscow tripartite agreement for 2016-2018 between the Moscow Government, Moscow trade union associations and Moscow employers’ associations.”

Risks for Moscow employers

If the Moscow salary for July, August or September 2017 is lower than the minimum wage, the employer may be subject to administrative and criminal liability. An individual entrepreneur or director of an organization may be fined in the amount of 1,000 to 5,000 rubles, and an organization – from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles. (Part 1 of Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

For a repeated violation, directors may be fined from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles. or disqualify for a period of one to three years. Fine for individual entrepreneurs for repeated violation: from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles, for a company – from 50,000 to 70,000 rubles. (Part 4 of Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Director's responsibility

An employee whose salary was less than the minimum wage has the right to demand additional payment for the entire period of work and compensation for delay (Article 236 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For paying a salary below the minimum wage for more than two months, the head of an organization is subject to criminal liability (Parts 2 and 3 of Article 145.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).

How to refuse the minimum wage and pay less

Any employer has the right to refuse to apply the minimum wage in Moscow from July 1, 2017. To do this, you need to draw up and send a reasoned refusal to the local branch of the Committee on Labor and Employment. The period is 30 calendar days from the date of publication of the tripartite agreement on the regional minimum wage (Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In this case, the refusal must be motivated. This means that the employer needs to be informed of the reasons why the employer cannot pay its employees the regional “minimum wage” - 17,642 rubles. As such reasons, one can indicate, for example, “crisis”, “few orders”, “risk of mass layoffs of employees”, etc. In Moscow, the refusal must be sent to the tripartite commission at the address: 121205, Moscow, st. Novy Arbat, 36/9. Here is an example of such a refusal:

However, please note that paragraph 8 of Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation obliges the employer to attach a set of documents to the refusal, including proposals for the timing of increasing the minimum wage of employees to the amount provided for in the agreement. That is, even a timely refusal does not mean that you will not have to pay the new minimum wage established on July 1, 2017. The employer is simply given the right to delay its introduction.

Salary commission

Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation gives the Moscow authorities the right to invite representatives of an employer who has refused to adopt the new minimum wage from July 1, 2017, for consultations. That is, abandoning the Moscow minimum wage threatens a collision with administrative resources.

Please note that in 2017, the Federal Tax Service continues the practice of salary commissions. Moreover, the Federal Tax Service has the right to transmit to labor inspectorates information about employers who pay low salary(letter dated April 21, 2017 No. ED-4-15/7708).

The purpose of salary commissions is to identify “gray” salaries and personal income tax debts. An employer can be invited to a salary commission:

• due to personal income tax debts;
• if personal income tax payments have decreased by 10 percent or more;
• if the salary is below the regional subsistence level, the minimum wage or the industry average.

Some people confuse the cost of living with the minimum wage. Minimum wage is installed federal authorities. All subjects of the Russian Federation are required to comply with it. Moreover, in many regions, federal values ​​are increased due to local surcharges and coefficients. The cost of living is constantly adjusted to take into account rising prices for goods that are necessary for human existence.

How is the minimum wage calculated?

Minimum wage represents the minimum salary that an employer is entitled to pay employees. In this way, the state protects low-income citizens. Now the minimum wage is 85% of the subsistence level.

The amount of payments is influenced by several indicators:

1. First of all, experts estimate the rate of inflation.
2. The amount of the minimum wage depends on the number of unemployed.
3. Economists take into account production growth rates that affect financial position regions.

Since January of this year, employers cannot pay their employees less than 9,489 rubles.

The minimum wage performs several functions:

1. The amount paid to the employee during illness depends on the size of this indicator.
2. Without the minimum wage, it is impossible to calculate payments due to expectant mothers.

In the accounting department of any enterprise, specialists take into account the requirements prescribed in Art. 133 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

How the minimum wage has changed since July 1, 2017

The dynamics of this indicator over several years can be assessed using the following table.

Minimum wage depends on the various benefits that the employee receives:

• when calculating an employee’s salary, his salary is taken into account;
• it is necessary to know the coefficients associated with the increased complexity of the work performed;
• the amount of payments is influenced by the qualifications of the specialist;
• in accounting, salaries are calculated based on compensation payments for harmful working conditions;
• an employee may receive various additional payments from the employer.

There are certain features regarding the calculation maternity benefits. In this case, you need to take into account the base amount that is subject to taxes.

In 2017, payments were calculated based on the fact that the employee’s income level was RUB 755,000. Any employee must earn at least 311.97 rubles per day.

The amount earned by an employee can be determined based on the following rules:

1. If a specialist has worked for 8 years, then he can count on payments in the amount of 100% of income.
2. What can people who have worked for 5 to 8 years claim? They have the right to receive benefits that amount to 80% of their salary.
3. Employees who have worked for less than 5 years will be able to receive benefits sick leave in the amount of 60% of the average salary.

For example, a manager brought a certificate of incapacity for work to the company’s accounting department. The document states that he was ill for 8 days. The employee worked at the plant for 6 years. Average earnings over 2 years amounted to 880,000 rubles. A person’s salary should not exceed the maximum salary, which is RUB 1,473,000. Since the duration of the manager’s work is 6 years, the value of 80% is used in the calculation.

Sick leave payments will be calculated using the following formula:

880,000 / 730 x 80% = 964.38 rubles.

The manager was ill for 8 days. This means that the benefit amount for this period will be:

964.38 x 8 = 7,715.04 rubles.

How will the minimum income of capital residents increase in 2019 (table)

The dynamics of changes in the minimum wage in the capital can be assessed by the figures indicated in the table.

Important! When calculating wages, you need to take into account that personal income tax is deducted from accrued income. In fact, the employee receives an amount that is less than the minimum wage.

In what cases is an employee entitled to additional payments up to the minimum wage?

When calculating benefits for full-time employees, the local minimum wage must be taken into account. In some regions, a person's minimum salary depends on the field in which he works.

Labor legislation allows for the possibility of part-time employment. The employer in accordance with s. 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation cannot prohibit its employees from caring for sick relatives.

For example, you need to calculate the salary of an employee who works on a reduced schedule. He works 20 hours a week. At full time, the employee’s monthly income would be 19,430 rubles. In a full-time job, a person must work 40 hours a week.

This means that the employee’s salary will be:

19,430 x 50% = 9,715 rub.

In accordance with Art. 123 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, only 4 days that the employee worked in December are subject to payment. The amount of accrued vacation pay is calculated taking into account the old minimum wage.

On January 1, the minimum wage increased to 9,489. The person went to work on the 9th and 10th. These days are subject to inclusion in vacation pay. They are calculated taking into account the new minimum wage.

The minimum income level of a person working full time cannot be less than the minimum wage. In 2019, its level is 9,489 rubles. However, some employers are trying to save on labor. The state punishes such managers with a fine, which ranges from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.

In case of repeated violation, the amount of penalties may increase to 100 thousand rubles. What to do if a person receives a salary that does not meet the requirements of labor legislation? The accounting department of the enterprise is obliged to adjust his salary upward. In the regions of the Far North, there are increased coefficients that affect the minimum income level of employees.

The following payments depend on the minimum wage:

• calculation of sick leave;
• Payments to women for pregnancy and childbirth;
• funds that are provided to mothers caring for a baby under 1.5 years old.

• if the employee worked for less than 6 months;
• the employee violated sick leave;
• the person had no salary;

How to calculate travel allowances

What is the regional minimum wage?

In accordance with Art. 133 subjects of the federation can adjust the minimum wage taking into account the peculiarities of pricing in the region. Moreover, in many areas the income level significantly exceeds the minimum wage established at the federal level.

What responsibility do employers bear if they pay wages below the subsistence level?

The state punishes business managers who deliberately underestimate the income of their employees. For evading the requirements of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is held administratively liable. This year, the amount of fines for enterprise managers reaches 5,000 rubles. Private entrepreneurs pay about 5,000 rubles.

If the violation is repeated, the head of the enterprise will have to pay larger fines. The amount of payments depends on the decision of the inspector. Legal entities repeated violation can cost 50,000 rubles.

Violation of labor legislation requirements can be costly for the director of an enterprise. His organization will be subject to close attention from the fiscal authorities. Inspections of an enterprise's activities will inevitably lead to additional fines.

How much do people earn based on their region of residence (table)?

Payments to employees depend not only on the region of residence. A person’s income is influenced by the field in which he works. In Kazan, employees receive at least 9,489 rubles. This minimum wage level is valid in most regions of the Russian Federation. Specialists living in Ufa are entitled to a salary of 10,913 rubles. Increased payments to Muscovites are associated with higher prices for goods and services. Residents of the capital will earn at least 18,742 rubles.
