The essence of the concept of the minimum wage

The minimum wage in Russia is a measure used to:

  • determining the amount of social payments in certain cases;
  • calculation of payments for hospital employees with little experience;
  • calculation of mandatory contributions from individual entrepreneurs (IE) and self-employed citizens.

In abbreviated form, the lower salary threshold is abbreviated as "minimum wage". It is installed on two levels:

  • as a whole for the federation;
  • separately in each region (indicators may differ in value).

In a market economy, the employer himself appoints a salary to workers based on the current situation, costs and other factors. Unfortunately, not all owners of firms and industries care about the interests of the population. This function in Russian Federation assigned to the state in the framework of the formation of economic policy.

Important: The minimum wage is used in accounting to determine some payments and contributions. It is necessary to clearly understand which indicator (federal or regional) is taken into account in a particular case.

Factors affecting the size of the minimum wage


The calculation of the weighted value of the minimum wage is a labor-intensive process carried out continuously by specialists.
The following factors are taken into account in the calculation:

  1. government policy in the field of pricing;
  2. inflation indicators (and their estimates);
  3. the needs of the population, that is, the so-called subsistence minimum (PM);
  4. the number of official unemployed and others.
Attention: the starting conditions determined by the listed factors are very different in parts of the federation. Therefore, each region has the opportunity to establish its fair and justified, from the point of view of the economic condition, minimum wages.

Some features of the application of the minimum wage in calculations


The accountant needs to take into account the size of the minimum wage set by the governments of both levels of government.

The rules are:

  1. The amount of accruals per month cannot be lower than the federal indicator (with the exception of the preferential regime of work).
  2. The regional value is used by enterprises that have joined the minimum wage agreement.
  3. If the organization has not become a party to a tripartite agreement, then the all-Russian minimum wage is used.
Hint: you can sign the federal subject agreement at any time.

Salary less than the minimum wage: in what cases is it possible

  1. The employee works part-time. Salary will be calculated based on hours worked. It is necessary to conclude an additional agreement of the parties.
  2. The employee combines work in several companies. In this case, it is possible to hire on a part-time basis (no more), therefore, the salary will be less or 50% of the minimum wage.
  3. The salary of an employee includes a fixed salary and bonuses (allowances). If the monthly norm is not met, then the allowance (premium) is not charged. As a result, the amount of salary payable may be less than the minimum wage.
Attention! All additional terms and procedures must be prescribed in the supplementary agreement.

Salary less than the minimum wage: what is the responsibility in 2019

If the above conditions are not met at the enterprise and employees are paid salaries less than the minimum threshold, penalties will follow.

The amount of fines depends on:

  • the number of violations;
  • the size and legal status of the enterprise.

For individual entrepreneurs and heads (chief accountants) of enterprises:

  1. For the primary violation - a fine of 1-5 thousand rubles.
  2. In case of repeated violation - a fine of 10-20 thousand rubles.

For legal entities:

  1. For the primary violation - a fine of 30-50 thousand rubles.
  2. In case of repeated violation - a fine of 50-70 thousand rubles.

Disqualification for a period of 1-3 years may also be applied.

Important! The minimum wage in the Russian Federation includes salary, bonuses (allowances, raises). Consequently, the salary itself may be lower than the minimum minimum wage (allowed by law), if the total monthly income of the employee, taking into account all additional payments, is equal to the minimum wage. Attention! At the end of 2017, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation clarified that there are exceptions to this rule: northern regional coefficients and allowances cannot be included in the minimum wage. Since this violates the principle of social justice for citizens living in areas with severe natural and climatic conditions.

Other financial obligations of employers

In addition to maintaining salary compliance at a level not lower than the minimum wage, employers are also responsible for indexing wages. It is provided for in Art. 134 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and is based on the dynamics of consumer prices in the region of the company's operations. If the employer does not index wages in a timely manner, administrative sanctions may be applied to him.

So, about the need to conduct mandatory indexation of employees' salaries (moreover, backdating) in 2018, the Federal Tax Service for the Tambov Region informed all commercial organizations region. Since the analysis of tax and financial statements revealed numerous facts of violation of the rights of workers in the form of a lack of wage indexation in the presence of an obvious increase in the consumer price index in the region. Since 2018, such a key calculated value as the minimum wage has changed. The Ministry of Labor proposes to increase it in 2 stages. In 2018 - bringing up to 85% of the PM of able-bodied citizens. And in 2019, these two values ​​​​will already be equal.

In December 2017, the State Duma adopted a corresponding bill. From January 1, 2018, the minimum wage is set at 9,489 rubles. And from January 1, 2019, it was planned that it would always be equal to the PM for the 2nd quarter of the year preceding the establishment of the minimum wage. However, already in January 2018, it was decided to increase the minimum wage to the level of the SM by May of this year. In February, the corresponding draft was adopted as a law by the Parliament of the Russian Federation.

Attention: the social assistance currently provided to certain categories of Russians will decrease as the minimum wage increases.

In the fall of 2018, the State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy approved a draft law on the annual increase in the minimum wage to the level of PM for the 2nd quarter of the previous year. From January 1, 2019, the minimum wage will be set at 11.280 rubles. according to PM indicators for the 2nd quarter of 2018

Many personnel workers already know that from July 1, 2017, the federal minimum wage has been increased from 7,500 to 7,800 rubles. Cm. " ". Less than the current minimum wage, employers are not entitled to pay their employees. However, we note that the minimum wage cannot be less than the federal one. Knowing this, some regions set the “local” minimum wage higher than the federal one. What minimum wage should be used in calculations from July 1? Is it possible to refuse the regional minimum wage? Should wages be increased? In this article you will find answers to questions, you can also see the minimum wage table from July 1, 2017 by regions of Russia.

Raising the minimum wage at the federal and regional levels

Since July 1, the minimum wage has been increased from 7,500 to 7,800 rubles. From this date on, the new minimum wage must be taken into account for calculating salaries and various benefits.

In addition to wages, the minimum wage affects three types of benefits:

  • sick leave;
  • on pregnancy and childbirth;
  • caring for a child up to 1.5 years.

Note that the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (regions) are given the right to establish on their territory the amount of the minimum wage, which differs from the federal minimum wage (Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The regional "minimum wage" is established by a tripartite agreement. It will be coordinated at the level of the government or administration of the subject (region, territory, autonomous region etc.), associations of trade unions and associations of employers. So, for example, from July 1, 2017, the minimum wage in Moscow increased to 17,624 rubles. Cm. " ".

At the same time, some personnel workers are interested in: “Which minimum wage should be compared with the salary of employees - regional or federal?”.

ANSWER

From July 1, 2017, compare the payment for the month with the “minimum wage”, which is higher. The final amount must be in favor of the employee. At the same time, keep in mind that no less than the regional minimum wage should be the totality of all payments established for the employee that make up his salary (Article 129 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). That is, not only salary, but also compensation with bonuses.

It often happens that the regional minimum wage is higher than the federal one. However, in July 2017, the situation is not ruled out when the federal minimum wage is higher than the regional one. So, for example, in the Arkhangelsk region, the minimum wage is set for the whole of 2017 - 7,500 rubles per month, and the federal one from July 1 - 7,800 rubles. It turns out that from July 1 in the Arkhangelsk region, for calculations and establishing earnings, the federal minimum wage (7,800 rubles) must be taken into account.

What taxes are withheld if the salary is equal to the minimum wage

Some employers set the employee's salary clearly in accordance with the minimum wage (no more and no less). However, if the employee’s salary is equal to the minimum wage, personal income tax should still be withheld from it and insurance premiums, including "injury". This is confirmed by the law:

  • personal income tax - articles 210 and 217 tax code RF;
  • insurance premiums for mandatory pension (social, medical) insurance - articles 420 and 422 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
  • insurance premiums for insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases (“for injuries”) - articles 20.1 and 20.2 of the Law of July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ.

Refusal of the regional minimum wage

The agreement on the regional minimum wage from July 1, 2017 becomes mandatory for application only for those who accepted it after publication in the media. After publication, the employer has 30 days to submit to the regional administration an application for waiving the use of the regional minimum wage. In such a refusal, it is required to explain the reasons why the employer cannot pay the regional minimum wage to employees. Here is an example of a refusal on the minimum wage in the region:

If the refusal is not received by the regional administration on time, it is considered that the employer "by default" agreed with the agreement on the minimum wage from July 1, 2017 in the corresponding region and, as a result, must pay wages not lower than the value established by the law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation .

When an employer can be held liable

If the employer does not send a refusal and does not increase earnings to the level of regional significance established from July 1, 2017, then sanctions are possible.

We list the administrative fines under Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

If the organization commits a violation again, then the responsibility will be tougher:

  • for an official (for example, a director) - a fine of 20,000 to 30,000 rubles. or disqualification for a period of one to three years;
  • for individual entrepreneurs - a fine from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles;
  • for the company - a fine from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.

question about administrative punishment violators are considered by the labor inspectorate or the court (parts 1, 2 of article 23.1, 23.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Also keep in mind that if you refuse the regional minimum wage, the employer may be called to the IFTS for a salary commission. We considered this issue in the article "".

Not only individual entrepreneurs, but also many citizens of the Russian Federation are trying to carefully monitor various changes in Russian legislation. One of the important issues is the minimum wage. And far from an idle question is whether this indicator will be indexed next year? What will be the size of the minimum wage from January 1, 2017 in Russia? How will the minimum wage affect wages and benefits?

All these issues are very relevant, because the minimum wage affects not only wages, taxes, but also various payments, such as unemployment benefits and sick leave. In our article, we will consider the size of the minimum wage from January 1, 2017 in Russia and how this will affect payments and benefits to citizens.

Minimum wage from January 1, 2017 in the Russian Federation

The size of the minimum wage from January 1, 2017 in the Russian Federation will not be increased. MPs State Duma did not begin to increase the minimum wage from January 1 next year. At the same time, most accountants are used to the fact that the increase in the minimum wage occurs at the beginning of the year.

From January 1, 2016, the minimum wage was increased, and its value, in accordance with Article 1 federal law dated December 14, 2015 No. 376-FZ, amounted to 6204 rubles. In 2017, from January 1, there will be no increase in the minimum wage.

The previous increase in the minimum wage, in accordance with Article 1 of Federal Law No. 164-FZ dated June 2, 2016, to 7,500 rubles took place in July 2016. This led to changes in the amount of benefits.

From January 1, 2017, due to the fact that the minimum wage remains at the level of 7,500 rubles, the amount of benefits will not change.

Minimum wage from January 1, 2017 and wages

According to article 133 Labor Code RF, the minimum wage is the minimum wage that an individual entrepreneur or organization must pay to employees for a full month worked by them. At the same time, the employee may receive an amount less than the minimum wage (for example, due to the deduction of alimony or personal income tax).

Thus, starting from January 1, 2017, the employer will not be able to pay the employee less than 7,500 rubles.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 129 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, smaller size The minimum wage cannot be a total salary, which includes:

  • remuneration for work;
  • compensation payments (including surcharges and allowances);
  • incentive payments (bonuses).

That is, from January 1, 2017 total amount the above payments cannot be less than the minimum wage - 7500 rubles.

Minimum wage from January 1, 2017 and benefits

To calculate the amount of benefits from January 1, 2017, the minimum wage in the amount of 7,500 rubles should be taken into account. It affects the amount of benefits in two situations:

1. The length of service of an employee in an enterprise or organization is less than six months.

2. The employee's salary is below the minimum wage.

Minimum wage from January 1, 2017 and regional authorities

From January 1, 2017, local authorities in the regions have the right to set their own minimum wage in a special agreement. Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains a rule indicating that the size of the regional minimum wage may be higher than the federal one.

The regional minimum wage can be waived. To do this, it is necessary to draw up a reasoned refusal and send it to the local branch of the Committee on Labor and Employment.

Responsibility of the employer for wages below the minimum wage

Note that if from January 1, 2017 the employee's salary is less than the minimum wage - 7500 rubles, then the employer may be held liable in the form of fines. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the following fines:

  • for an organization (with primary detection) - from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles;
  • for an organization (with secondary detection) - from 50,000 to 70,000 rubles;
  • for the director or chief accountant of the organization (in case of initial detection) - a warning or a fine from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles;
  • for the director or chief accountant of the organization (in case of secondary detection) - a fine from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles.

According to the norms of Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the director or chief accountant of an enterprise may be disqualified for a period of one to three years.

Increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017

The increase in the minimum wage is planned from July 1, 2017. The minimum wage should increase by 300 rubles, and its size will be 7,800 rubles. The relevant bill provides for the indexation of the minimum wage by 4%. This is due to inflation forecasts in 2017.

In conclusion, we add that it was previously planned to introduce a minimum wage from January 1, 2017 in the amount of 8,800 rubles. But in the end, officials refused such an increase and left the minimum wage at 7,500 rubles.

It has "grown" by 300 rubles and now stands at 7,800 rubles per month. Thus Thus, starting from July 1, other social payments will also increase in Russia, since the minimum wage is an important value not only for calculating wages, but also for calculating social benefits various categories. Recall that it is impossible by law to pay wages to employees in the Russian Federation less than the minimum wage.

The head of the Ministry of Labor specified that in total in the period 2016-2017 The minimum wage will increase by 25.7% and now its ratio to the subsistence minimum is 73%.

Getting "sick leave" will be easier

Registration and receipt of a temporary disability sheet will be noticeably simplified from July 1, thanks to the entry into force of the norms of the Federal Law of May 1, 2017 N 86-ФЗ "On Amendments to Article 13 of the Federal Law" On Compulsory Social Insurance in Case of Temporary Disability and in Connection with with motherhood" and Articles 59 and 78 of the Federal Law "On the Basics of Protecting the Health of Citizens in the Russian Federation". This means that the patient can receive a sick leave in electronic form.

In practice, as shown by an experiment in which several regions took part, it will look like this: an electronic sick leave certificate is certified by a qualified electronic signature of a medical institution, and then sent immediately to the employer. True, as long as the patient has the right to choose whether to issue a paper or electronic sick leave.

How will alcohol sales rules change?

Recall that we are talking on threats of a natural and man-made nature and on the dangers arising from the conduct of hostilities.

How tariffs for housing and communal services will change from July 1

The average increase in tariffs for housing and communal services (electricity and gas supply, heating, hot and cold water supply, sanitation) from July 1, 2017 will be about 4%. At the same time, the government of the Russian Federation has set its own limit index for tariff growth for each individual region. It will be determined not only economic calculations how much the solvency of the population.

Residents of the capital will feel the largest increase in the average growth indices of utility bills, which will occur from July 1, 2017 - in Moscow, the increase will be 7%. In St. Petersburg, Yakutia and Kamchatka - 6%. Tariffs will increase minimally in North Ossetia-Alania - 2.5%, in the Altai Territory - 3.2%, in Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkaria - 3.3% each.

From July 1, 2017, the federal minimum wage has been increased from 7,500 to 7,800 rubles. Cm. " ". At the same time, regional minimum wages cannot be less than the federal one. Therefore, many subjects set the minimum wage higher than the federal one. At the same time, by July 1, not all Russian regions had time to revise and increase their minimum wages. How to be in that case? Is it possible to refuse the regional minimum wage? Should wages be increased? We will answer the main questions and provide a table with the minimum wage by region from July 1, 2017.

Increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2017

From July 1, the minimum wage is 7800 rubles. instead of 7500 rubles. From that date on, the new minimum must be taken into account for calculating wages and benefits.

At the same time, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (regions) are given the right to establish on their territory the amount of the minimum wage, which differs from the federal minimum wage (Article 133.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The regional "minimum wage" is established by a tripartite agreement. It will be coordinated at the level of the government or the administration of the subject (region, territory, autonomous district, etc.), trade union associations and employers' associations. So, for example, from July 1, 2017, the minimum wage in Moscow increased to 17,624 rubles. Cm. " ".

But with what minimum wage to compare the salary of workers - regional or federal? The answer is simple: compare the payment for the month with the “minimum wage”, which is higher. The final amount must be in favor of the employee. At the same time, keep in mind that no less than the regional minimum wage should be the totality of all payments established for the employee that make up his salary (Article 129 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). That is, not only salary, but also compensation with bonuses.

Usually the regional minimum wage is higher than the federal one. However, in July 2017, the situation is not ruled out when the federal minimum wage is higher than the regional one. So, for example, in the Arkhangelsk region, the minimum wage is set for the whole of 2017 - 7,500 rubles per month, and the federal one from July 1 - 7,800 rubles. It turns out that from July 1 in the Arkhangelsk region, for calculations and establishing earnings, the federal minimum wage (7,800 rubles) must be taken into account.

We also note that in addition to wages, the minimum wage affects three types of benefits:

  • sick leave;
  • on pregnancy and childbirth;
  • caring for a child up to 1.5 years.

Minimum wage and taxes

Some employers set the employee's salary clearly in accordance with the minimum wage (no more and no less). However, if the employee’s salary is equal to the minimum wage, personal income tax and insurance premiums, including “for injuries”, should still be withheld from it. This is confirmed by the law:

  • personal income tax - articles 210 and 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
  • insurance premiums for mandatory pension (social, medical) insurance - articles 420 and 422 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
  • insurance premiums for insurance against industrial accidents and occupational diseases (“for injuries”) - articles 20.1 and 20.2 of the Law of July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ.

How to refuse the regional minimum wage from July

The agreement on the regional minimum wage from July 1, 2017 becomes mandatory for application only for those who accepted it after publication in the media. After publication, the employer has 30 days to submit to the regional administration an application for waiving the use of the regional minimum wage. In such a refusal, it is required to explain the reasons why the employer cannot pay the regional minimum wage to employees. Here is an example of a refusal on the minimum wage in the region:

If the refusal is not received by the regional administration on time, it is considered that the employer "by default" agreed with the agreement on the minimum wage from July 1, 2017 in the corresponding region and, as a result, must pay wages not lower than the value established by the law of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation .

Responsibility of employers for low wages

If the employer does not send a refusal and does not increase earnings to the level of regional significance established from July 1, 2017, then sanctions are possible.

We list the administrative fines under Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

  • for an official (for example, a director) - from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles;
  • for an individual entrepreneur (employer) - from 1000 to 5000 rubles;
  • for an organization (legal entity) - from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.

If the organization commits a violation again, then the responsibility will be tougher:

  • for an official (for example, a director) - a fine of 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.
  • or disqualification for a period of one to three years;
  • for individual entrepreneurs - a fine from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles;
  • for the company - a fine from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles.

The issue of administrative punishment of violators is considered by the labor inspectorate or the court (parts 1, 2, articles 23.1, 23.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Also keep in mind that if you refuse the regional minimum wage, the employer may be called to the IFTS for a salary commission. We considered this issue in the article "".
