The premium is understood as remuneration in cash equivalent, which is paid to the employee in accordance with the provisions of the law. These are additional funds to the main salary. Depending on various factors, the size of the premium varies.
Normative base
The main documents that govern the allowance for seniority in a budget institution include the following:
- Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
- Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 638.
- Ministry of Health Order No. 583.
- Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1532.
- Law "On Objects of Cultural Heritage" No. 73-FZ.
- Other legislative acts.
Grounds for calculating surcharge
The seniority allowance is intended to encourage employees to conscientiously fulfill their duties. In addition, in this way, the legislator seeks to reduce staff turnover.
Workers who have worked in the same place for many years and have gained rich experience receive higher wages than those who took up their duties recently. This rule is maintained even if labor productivity and employee qualifications are approximately the same.
The amount of surcharge does not depend on the main salary. They begin to pay it at a certain period of work, namely, with an experience of 1 year. If the duration of the work is less than this period, additional cash is not paid.
Calculation Rules
The assignment of an additional payment is not the responsibility of a particular government agency. In other words, this rule is not provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the corresponding allowance for seniority in a budget institution is guaranteed. In commercial companies, a similar system can also be introduced. However, the employer independently resolves this issue on the basis of desire and opportunities.
Supplement for length of service is expressed as a percentage of the basic salary. Payments are accrued monthly, but the size may vary, especially in commercial organizations.
Calculation of seniority
The main document on the basis of which the length of service and length of service is calculated is the work book. At the same time, certain temporary periods during which the employee did not fulfill his duties may be included in the calculation. These include the following:
- Training.
- Being on social. providing.
- Being registered with the employment service.
- State service.
- Engaging in political or social activities.
- Serving a sentence in prison.
- Recognition of political prisoners.
The calculation is carried out after collecting all the necessary data. To account for experience, special software is currently used that performs all calculations quickly. The most famous and popular are 1C. At the same time, manual calculation does not present any particular difficulties, and if desired, any citizen can do this.
Commercial companies
In commercial organizations, the allowance for length of service can be calculated after studying the following documents:
- The work book of a specific employee.
- The collective agreement provided by the company.
- Bonus Terms.
- Other acts related to this issue, if any.
The main document, which highlights all the nuances of legal relations between the employee and the employer, is an employment contract. Typically, in order to stimulate the employee, commercial companies provide for the payment of interest on salaries. At the same time, being on a business trip or on sick leave does not affect the payment of allowances.
In this case, the employer determines the amount of the surcharge on his own. Usually this amount varies from 5 to 30 percent of the basic salary. In commercial organizations, there may be the following features when calculating premiums:
- A monthly payment, the amount of which may vary.
- Dependence on the size of the main salary.
When replacing one employee with another, a bonus to the salary for work experience is carried out as a percentage of the salary of the replaced employee.
With career success and salary increases, the amount of allowances may be reviewed more than once.
State structures
The length of service for civil servants is calculated in a special way. The allowance is based on the length of service. Moreover, this work should be the main one. Employee salaries may also be taken into account.
Depending on the length of stay in the public service, the allowance for the length of service in a budget institution is established as follows:
- When working from 1 year to 3 years, the amount corresponds to 10% of the salary.
- When working from 3 years to 5 years, the amount is 15% of the salary.
- When working from 5 years to 10 years, the allowance is 20% of the salary.
- When working over 10 years, it is 30% of the salary.
However, when working part-time, no additional payments are provided.
Ministry of Internal Affairs
Additional payments for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are different. The grounds for the appointment are:
- Experience of service.
- Qualification.
- Labor conditions.
- Special differences.
- Work with papers under the heading "Secret."
The bonus for the length of service in a budgetary institution in the internal affairs bodies is established for all employees and is regulated by Government Decision No. 1158 of 12/27/2011. The Decision indicates the following conditions and amounts of the additional payment:
- When serving from 2 years to 5 years, a bonus of 10% of the salary is provided.
- When serving from 5 years to 10 years, the surcharge is 15%.
- When serving from 10 years to 15 years, the payment increases to 20%.
- When serving from 15 years to 20 years, the premium is paid in the amount of 25%.
- When serving from 20 to 25 years, it is 30%.
- When serving more than 25 years, an additional payment of 40%. This is the maximum length of service allowance.
In addition to bonuses for years of service, other payments may be established, the purpose of which is to stimulate employees. For accurate calculation, the program 1C provides a special calculator that allows you to perform these operations as quickly as possible.
Military personnel
The pay bonus for seniority for military personnel also has its own characteristics. In this case, the same principle works as for the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But you need to serve in the Armed Forces for at least 2 years in a general manner. However, if the service consists of flying on aircraft and participating in tests, then 1 month is equivalent to 2 months of experience.
Since 2018, the procedure for calculating premiums has slightly changed and has the following form:
- When serving from six months to 1 year, the surcharge is 5%.
- When serving from 1 year to 5 years, it is 10%.
- When serving from 2 years to 5 years, the premium is 25%.
- When serving from 5 years to 10 years - 40%.
- When serving from 10 years to 15 years - 45%.
- When serving from 15 years to 20 years - 50%.
- When serving from 20 years to 22 years - 55%.
- When serving from 22 years to 25 years - 65%.
- When serving more than 25 years - 70%. This is the maximum allowance required by law.
In addition, continuing to be in the service for over 25 years, a soldier additionally receives 25% of the salary instead of the pension that he would receive for his seniority.
Budgetary institutions
It is not difficult to calculate what kind of allowance for work experience is provided in a budget institution. Their size increases due to the number of years worked, namely:
- When working from 1 year to 5 years, the allowance is 10% of the salary.
- When working from 5 years to 10 years - 15%.
- For work over 15 years, the surcharge will be equal to 30% of the salary.
In addition to such a premium, there are other additional payments. Therefore, in addition to the salary, sometimes an employee of a state institution has the opportunity to receive amounts that exceed the salary by several times.
In healthcare
The allowance for seniority in health care directly depends on the continuity of this indicator. This means that even when applying for another job, the stoppage of work should not exceed 1 month. True, there are reasons under which work is interrupted, and seniority continues to operate. These include the following:
- Maternity and childcare leave.
- Service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by draft or contract.
- Caring for people with disabilities and people over 80.
These periods are not considered a break in employment. Therefore, employee benefits are maintained.
In addition to continuity of service, the surcharge depends on factors such as:
- Salary.
- Position held.
- Place of work.
For example, in anti-leprosy and anti-plague departments, medical workers may be paid a premium, the size of which can reach 100% of the salary. In other cases, the maximum surcharge is in the amount not exceeding 60% of the salary.
In the field of education
An allowance for work experience in an educational institution is provided for in the case of appropriate indication in collective agreements, agreements or other acts of a particular institution. However, if this is a budgetary institution, then the surcharge is based on general federal and departmental acts.
The maximum surcharge is provided for work over 15 years and is 30% of the salary. With an experience of over 10 years, 20% is paid, over 5 years - 15%, and over 1 year - 10%. In addition, after 25 years of work, the teacher has the right to early retirement.
Eligible Persons
Every citizen working in the public sector is a suitable candidate for receiving additional payments for seniority. Persons to whom the allowance for work experience is entitled may include employees of some commercial companies. But, as a rule, the payment in a budgetary institution is greater than in non-state structures.
Conclusion
Thus, the pension supplement depends on various factors, ranging from the field of activity to the duration and continuity of experience. But anyway, any employee working in the public sector has the right to it. It should be understood that the state (unlike commercial companies) will take care of public sector employees not only during the period of work. When a citizen goes on a well-deserved rest, the corresponding pension supplement will be paid further.
