Federal and regional authorities establish benefits and social benefits for young professionals. They serve as a measure of stimulating the ability to work of graduates of vocational training institutions. Let us further consider the procedure for paying young specialists amounts of material assistance in some regions.
Subjects of law
Currently, there is no clear regulation of the status of a young specialist at the federal level. There is also no general idea of the benefits provided. Meanwhile, certain information is contained in the 70th article of the Labor Code. In accordance with the norm, the employer cannot establish a probationary period for persons graduating from universities and secondary vocational education institutions less than a year ago. According to the Labor Code, young specialists have no more benefits. There is no clear definition of entities that can count on payments and other material assistance in the legislation. However, on the basis of the analysis of normative acts, a number of signs can be identified that a citizen should fall under. Payment to young specialists, in particular, can be established for citizens:
- Which age is not more than 35 years. In some regions, the limit is 30 years.
- Who graduated from high school or vocational school or have a higher education (received it in a university with state accreditation, full-time). In some regions, compulsory budget training is established as an additional requirement.
- Carrying out activities at an enterprise located on state, municipal or regional support.
Material assistance: general information
The provision of support measures is determined by departmental industry agreements. If we talk about non-state enterprises, then payment to young specialists is carried out in accordance with local regulations. For detailed information on the benefits provided for when applying for a job, you should familiarize yourself with the collective agreement. Some enterprises have provisions governing the status of young professionals. Such documents specify in detail the conditions for carrying out activities in the organization, establish a list of support measures, and the amounts that an employee can count on. The provisions also directly regulate the mechanism for providing material assistance.
Features of the age threshold
Payment to young specialists, as indicated above, is due to citizens under the age of 30-35. The maximum threshold is set in each region at the discretion of the authorized authorities. From the date of employment (conclusion of an agreement with the employer), the status of yesterday's student will be valid for 3 years. You can’t get it a second time. In some cases, however, an extension of the duration of the status to 6 years is allowed. This is possible if a young specialist:
- He is studying in postgraduate study or in graduate school.
- Passes alternative or emergency service.
- He is on vacation related to pregnancy and childbirth, caring for a child.
Support measures
In 2012, a government decree recommended the adoption of a law, according to which, in the first month from the moment of employment, the company assigns a stimulating payment to young specialists. The relevant normative act was approved a month after that. The key goal of the law is to attract citizens who have received a certain specialty to work by profession. Currently, there are no unified measures to support yesterday’s graduates. Each region independently regulates this area, adopts relevant regulations. The main support measures today are:
- Providing an interest-free home improvement loan .
- Lump sum payment to young specialists.
- Concessional loans or subsidies for the purchase / construction of housing. In some regions, corporate space is provided.
- Compensation of transportation costs.
- Reimbursement of expenses for the maintenance of children in the DOE. Such a payment to young professionals can partially or fully offset the costs.
Priority areas of activity
These include education and healthcare. As indicated above, each region has its own conditions and rules for providing financial assistance to former graduates. For example, the Decree of the Government of Moscow of March 23, 2004 stipulates the requirements, upon compliance with which payments are made to a young specialist in education:
- Age to 35 years.
- Diploma attesting to the completion of a secondary or higher education institution.
- A citizen must begin to work by profession no later than 90 days after graduation (graduation).
In St. Petersburg, the Saratov region, and a number of other subjects, the age threshold is 30 years. This limit is formally set in regional regulations. To clarify information regarding the status of a young specialist, as well as the benefits provided, you should contact the territorial department of the department of education at the address of work or residence.
Important point
It should be borne in mind that if a citizen works as a teacher without a special education, and at the same time he is less than 35 years old, then he is considered a young specialist. Accordingly, a person has the right to count on receiving the stipulated benefits. For example, the subject works as a teacher and has a diploma of another profession that is not related to teaching. This is not a basis for depriving a citizen of the status of a young specialist.
Payments to young specialists (teachers) 2016 in St. Petersburg
Specific types of material assistance are provided for in regional legislation. In accordance with it, the following lump sum payment to young specialists is determined:
- 6 base units. Workers with a diploma of secondary / higher vocational education are entitled to apply for such material assistance.
- 8 base units. This payment is assigned to young specialists if the diploma is with honors.
The value of the base unit is established in the Budget Law. The normative act provides for a planned increase in its size. Accordingly, the payment to a young specialist is also increasing (2016 - the base unit is 9174 rubles, 2017 - 9880 rubles, 2018 - 10572 rubles). In addition, compensation is reimbursed for 1/2 transportation costs. This monthly payment to a young specialist is assigned at his request. It is worth saying that compensation is due to citizens under the age of 30, and does not apply to taxis. The application should be submitted to the social protection authority or to the territorial unit of the department of education.
Moscow
In the metropolitan region, payments are also provided for teachers (young specialists) in employment. Unlike St. Petersburg, in Moscow an employee can receive a 40 percent premium to the rate during the first three years of activity. If the graduate has an honors degree, then he is entitled to 50% from above. One important point to consider here. The specified allowance does not apply to the additional load. For example, the subject works at 1.5 rates. The bonus will be charged only on one. Additionally, a young specialist can count on a surcharge of 15% of the rate that compensates for transportation costs.
Health care system
In this area, lifting payments to young specialists and other benefits are provided only if the citizen is sent to work in the countryside. In addition, the following requirements are established in Federal Law No. 326:
- Age to 35 years.
- The term for concluding an agreement with the tenant is at least 5 years.
Financial assistance to doctors
The rules for its provision are provided for in Federal Law No. 326. The lump sum payment to young specialists engaged in the healthcare sector is 1 million rubles. This amount is provided for all workers who arrived in the countryside. Lifting payments to young specialists are carried out as part of a program adopted at the federal level. It is called the "Zemsky doctor." To obtain the indicated amount, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with the local authorities of the locality in which professional activities will be carried out. The payment of benefits to young professionals working in the health sector is made with a diploma of higher education. At the same time, a citizen must work according to his profile. The legislation establishes one more condition under which a payment is assigned to young specialists. An order for the provision of material assistance is issued only if the former graduate enters into an agreement for at least 5 years. If for some reason a citizen decides to quit, he will have to return part of the amount he received.
Housing issue
In addition to cash payments, the state provides for providing young doctors with housing. This is done by the following grants:
- Apartments
- Subsidies for the purchase of housing or compensation for part of the loan (mortgage).
- Land for construction.
You should also know that the amount of 1 million is intended. In accordance with the law, it is not taxed. According to the established rules, it should be aimed at improving housing conditions. For example, they can be used to repay part of a loan taken from a bank.
Additional Warranties
In some regions, authorities provide for lifting payments to young professionals, in addition to those established by the federal program. For example, in the Pskov region, the list of entities eligible for material assistance includes representatives of nursing staff. They, in addition to the above-mentioned lifting and other compensations, can receive:
- 30 thousand p. - paramedics and nurses, and those working in obstetric centers - 50 thousand rubles.
- 100 thousand rubles - doctors.
In the Rostov region, students can count on financial assistance even before issuing diplomas. So, for example, students in the 4th-6th courses of the medical university receive additional amounts for their scholarships. Interns, in turn, have the right to rely on payments in the amount of 5 thousand per month. This amount acts as an addition to the salary. The payment of this money is carried out regardless of what course the student is studying.
Employees in other areas
In the regions, support is provided not only to young teachers and health workers. In Novosibirsk, N. Novgorod, Ufa, programs were adopted in accordance with which material assistance is provided to employees in other areas once a year for three years. The following amounts are set in the indicated regions. For the first year - 40 thousand, for the second - 35, for the third - 30 thousand rubles. In large cities (St. Petersburg, Moscow), the amount of financial assistance, of course, is higher, since the calculation is carried out taking into account various factors. For example, the standard of living in the village, the average income in the area in which the employee is employed, is of importance. For example, a young teacher in St. Petersburg can receive more than 50 thousand rubles at a time.
Rules for registration
Payments to specialists who meet the above requirements are made in the manner prescribed by law. The direct provision of material assistance is vested in the employer providing the workplace to the graduate. The allowance aimed at stimulating the attraction of personnel is not taxed. To participate in the target program, it is necessary to conclude a contract with the organization for 5 years. The scope of the citizen in this case should correspond to his specialty.
Required documents
To exercise the right to receive incentive payments and other benefits, a young specialist writes a statement immediately at the time of employment. After that, the standard processing procedure is carried out. The employer approves the order for hiring and assigning appropriate payments to the young specialist. As a general rule, a hired employee should be familiarized with local acts for signature. A young specialist attaches a copy of the diploma and labor certificate to the application. The last shall bear the date from which a citizen is considered officially employed at the enterprise. Based on these documents, payments are made to young doctors, teachers and other specialists.
Conclusion
As mentioned above, at the federal level, only a framework law has been adopted that provides for the possibility of receiving financial assistance to specialists graduating from educational institutions less than a year ago. The main activity for the development of specific target programs is carried out in the regions and municipalities. It is worth noting that financial assistance can be provided to young specialists not only in budget organizations.
Any employer, including the head of a commercial enterprise, has the right, at his discretion, to establish support measures for employees. In this case, the candidate for the place must also comply with the requirements provided for by law. In particular, we are talking about age, the presence of a diploma and the term of the contract.
Material support of young specialists is one of the directions of the state’s internal social policy. At the same time, at the federal level, it was decided to transfer powers on the direct implementation of the program to regional and local authorities. This is due to the fact that, in the subjects and municipalities, the relevant authorities, when approving normative acts, take into account the local characteristics, working conditions and other factors. This, in turn, allows us to develop relevant measures for a specific territory, to ensure the influx of demanded personnel. Indeed, young professionals of any profession can receive stimulating payments.
