At the end of 2018, the State Duma approved an updated version of recommendations regarding the establishment of an updated system of remuneration for employees of budgetary institutions, including teaching staff. 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 have lost their force and will not be used in 2019. Today we’ll talk about changes in the remuneration system for teaching staff and how the approach to this issue will change.

In 2019 with new indicators and without salary reduction

Starting from 2019, remuneration for teaching staff will be calculated taking into account the new indicator. From now on, when determining the income of teachers and lecturers, the average monthly earnings of hired employees of private companies and individual entrepreneurs must be taken into account. Starting from this year, this criterion must be taken into account when developing cost plans aimed at increasing the amount of remuneration for teaching staff and employees in other budget sectors. In July 2018, the government Russian Federation A decree was issued 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 added to the document on the inadmissibility of lowering wages employees of kindergartens, schools and state universities. In accordance with this norm, in 2019 the level of remuneration for teaching staff will not be lower than in 2018. Accordingly, kindergarten teachers will receive a salary no lower than the Russian average (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 lower than the established indicator, provided that he has fully complied with the established norm and worked a sufficient number of hours. However, no one is immune from situations in which a teacher works less time than he is supposed to. If an employee had to face such a nuisance, wages will be calculated based on the time actually worked, based on the minimum wage.

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

1. The establishment of wages and salaries must be carried out in accordance with the qualification group of the employee.
2. If an employee budgetary institution works in a position that is not related to professional categories, the rate of his salary 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 manager has the right to approve the staffing table kindergarten, school, university, other budgetary organization.
5. After the implementation of new recommendations in an educational institution, the teacher’s income should be no less than it was before. This standard applies to all employees, without exception, whose standard of work has remained the same or increased.
6. The wage rate should be determined based on the employee’s performance of his own professional duties over a certain period of time (week, month, year).

As for the labor standards for 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 employment agreement. This standard will affect such workers as:

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

Taking into account these innovations, any changes in the teacher’s working hours should also be reflected in the employment agreement. However, 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 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 higher education. Accordingly, reduction factors can no longer be used for a specialty that requires an employee with a higher education diploma. Thus, the lack required document will no longer allow the employer to save on remuneration for an employee of an educational institution. In this regard, he has equal rights with teachers with higher education.

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

The new law on teachers' salaries in 2017 is an innovation that, for one reason or another, is already in force. That is why each of us knows enough about this law and must unquestioningly comply with each point. As is known, the average salary of an employee should be an amount that is not below the subsistence level. If this condition is not complied with, this will be considered a gross violation of the above law and the employer will be held responsible for this. We'll look at the details in this article.

What changes await us

Why did the government decide that the new wage law in 2017 is so necessary for the citizens of the country? Most likely, this happened due to the fact that there are statistics through which you can find out the approximate salary arrears. So, if we turn to statistical data, we can name an almost exact figure - three and a half billion rubles. And this is far from the limit, because it is also known that every month this figure increases by 240 million rubles. If this continues, then we can assume that already at the beginning of next year, this amount will increase to four billion rubles, which will have a disastrous effect on the country’s budget. That is why this law came into force in 2016, and will continue to function successfully in the seventeenth.

What actions will be taken to prevent this amount from increasing? Let's figure it out:

1. The list of employers' responsibilities will be increased, which will give employees more rights and opportunities. This point suggests that workers’ salaries will no longer go missing, as happened previously for some “unknown” reasons;
2. From now on, workers will have a number of guarantees, which will significantly affect the observance of their rights. That is, there is now much less chance that the rights of employees of any company will be infringed - also a very good plus for the average citizen;
3. In addition, the responsibility of each employer to employees will be tightened. This is done solely so that employers understand what penalties they may receive if they do not comply with the law. Nobody wants responsibility, so it will be respected!

Now we should move on to the rights that will be received by employees immediately after the entry into force of the new Teacher Salary Law 2017. So, this number of rights is quite large and every employee should know them:

• Salaries must be paid every half month. If this point is not fulfilled, the employer will be held liable and will have to pay a fine. But, if this situation repeats several times, then this person may even lose his position;
• The deadline for an employee to go to court over a violation of any clause of the rules of an employment contract has been changed. With the onset of 2017, every employee will have every right to go to court within a year to resolve the issue with their boss once and for all;
• Increasing the list of powers of inspectors working in this area;
• Fines will be significantly increased for violation of any of the specified points contained in the employment contract and, of course, in this law;
• If the employer for some reason does not pay the employee’s salary, then the fine for such a violation will be at least one hundred thousand rubles.

And these are not all the conditions that must be met by the employer. In addition, do not forget that employees must also unquestioningly follow every point of the rules specified in the contract. Otherwise, responsibility may await them too!

The salaries of teachers at all levels will be increased by 6% from the beginning of 2019, which will cost the budget an additional subsidy of 109,077.8 million rubles. After indexation, the salary of secondary school teachers will reach 44,760 rubles, teachers teaching at universities - 93,000 rubles, preschool teachers - 34,700 rubles. Since 2013, wages for teaching staff have increased by 40-117%. For the next 3 years, further salary increases are planned by 5.4-6.6% annually.

Will there be a teacher salary increase in 2019?

Teachers, regardless of their field of activity, belong to the category of “May state employees,” that is, their salaries are regulated and controlled at the government level. This is due to the catastrophically low incomes of teachers, especially young professionals, the outflow of professional workers from the industry, and the decline in the prestige of the profession itself.

The order to systematically increase teachers' incomes was first given by the country's President V.V. Putin. in May 2012, according to which, by 2018, salaries should increase to 100% of the average regional income for:

• school teachers;
• teachers and masters of vocational educational institutions;
• teachers working with orphans.

In addition, wages should not be lower than 100% of the average salary in the field of education in the region, and for teachers of additional education - 100% of teachers’ income.

For 6 years, teaching staff salaries were indexed at the federal and regional levels, which made it possible to achieve high indicators across the country. But if we consider nominal wages at the level of regions and municipal entities, the picture is not so rosy.

Table 1. Salary level of teachers based on the results of the first quarter of 2018.

The most striking examples of the dispersion of earnings in federal and municipal educational institutions are:

1. Income from the work of school teachers. So, in Nenets Autonomous Okrug Arkhangelsk region salary in the region - 101,681 rubles. and even in a rural school in the Yamalo-Nenets District - 113,826 rubles. Whereas in Dagestan a teacher receives 21,389 rubles, and in rural schools of the Kostroma region. ‒ 24,051 rub.
2. Remuneration of university teachers. In relative terms, income levels range from 137 to 270%. Considering the regional coefficients, the spread in physical terms is even more striking: for example, in Ugra, top-level teachers are paid 162,932 rubles, and in the Ivanovo region at a municipal-level university - 45,419 rubles.

This discrepancy in indicators is explained not only by the regional level of income of the population, but also by the inability of some entities to provide high salaries to public sector employees.

To maintain the achieved indicators, the government is forced to subsidize the regions. Therefore, the proposal of the Ministry of Education and Science in March 2018 to increase the salaries of all teachers or school teachers, in particular, by up to 150%, remained without support.

However, in May, the president made a recommendation to keep teachers’ incomes at the achieved level and not allow them to decline against the backdrop of an increase in the minimum wage and an increase in the well-being of Russians. Presidential decrees are reflected in the draft budget for 2019, which clearly reflects whether there will be an increase in teachers' salaries.

The bill provides for a systematic plan for the period from 2019 to 2021, including the salaries of educators, teachers and teachers of universities and colleges.

How much will the salary increase?

According to the explanatory note to the draft budget, teachers' salaries in 2019 should increase by 6%. For these purposes, appropriations in the amount of 109 billion rubles will be required. To keep incomes at the same level and raise salaries, subsidies will be increased by 16.1% compared to last year. Such calculations were provided by the Accounts Chamber to the State Duma for the adoption of the federal budget.

In addition, further growth in wages for educators, teachers, middle and senior teachers is also planned:

• by 5.4% in 2020, which will require 120 billion rubles;
• by 6.6% in 2021, which will require additional allocations of about RUB 134 billion.

First of all, the increase will affect teachers of federal educational institutions. Similar steps must be taken in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the salary increase may be more than the recommended 6%.

By the end of October 2018, most regions should consider projects or approve local budgets, after which it will be clear how much teachers’ salaries in regional and municipal schools and other educational institutions will be increased.

When will there be a promotion?

Many traditionally link the recalculation of teachers' salaries to September 1. Indeed, from the beginning school year promotions are often carried out at the local level. So, in, and in St. Petersburg, wages were increased by 4,000 rubles.

However, the target increase for 2019 is planned from the beginning of the calendar year, that is, teachers should receive salaries in a new way based on the results of work in January. But this does not exclude repeated recalculations throughout the year, for example, by September 1 or Teacher’s Day. But teachers usually receive such “gifts” from local authorities.

What will be the average teacher salary?

The remuneration system for teachers provides for the use, in addition to salaries, incentive payments and other allowances. Moreover, some increases are distributed by decision of the management of the educational institution. Often, teachers, in order to earn a decent salary, work at 1.5-2 times the rate. Even for two specialists with the same education and specialty, the actual salary may differ significantly. Teachers have already adapted to new working conditions and a complex payroll system.

But information on average earnings does not reflect the real picture. In addition, the increase will directly affect salaries and bonuses tied to tariffs. Therefore, actual wages after recalculation may increase by different amounts.

The size of average salaries will approach the values ​​​​indicated in the table.

Increase in salaries for teachers in 2017 in Russia, latest news: on September 1, Russian public sector employees will have their salaries raised.

Increasing wages for public sector employees in 2017 in Russia: latest news

Russian public sector employees will have their salaries increased from September 1, 2017. Income will increase for doctors, paramedical and junior medical staff, social workers, cultural workers, teachers in schools and additional education institutions, kindergarten teachers, teachers working with orphans, and researchers. There are 10 categories of workers in total. T

“I would like to confirm today that, as part of the implementation of presidential decrees, we have twice this year intkbbee We will increase wages for public sector employees. We are allocating more than 5.4 billion rubles for the May increase alone,” said Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov.

It is reported that from September 1, 2017, the salaries of doctors were increased by 6%, by 19% for nurses and by 10% for junior medical staff. Teachers of schools, kindergartens, additional education institutions, teachers working with orphans, as well as workers of cultural institutions will receive 5% more. But the salaries of educational and support staff of kindergartens (nannies) were increased by 70%. Thus, the average salary of school teachers will increase to 51.1 thousand rubles, kindergarten teachers - 58.9 thousand, nannies - 23.4 thousand rubles per month. The salary of cultural workers will be 42.3 thousand rubles in state and 39.2 thousand in municipal cultural institutions.

Incentive payments to directors of schools near Moscow were also introduced.

1.8 billion payments are expected to be provided by optimizing the activities of institutions, the rest of the money will be taken from the regional budget. The increase will be most noticeable among junior teachers in kindergartens. Their salaries will increase by 70% from September 1.

The current economic situation cannot be called prosperous and capable of providing significant financial injections into the educational system, which is why every 2nd teacher complains about his level of income, which does not always allow him to purchase the most necessary goods and services.

The state as a whole, as well as in individual departments, are very concerned about finding possible options to correct the situation.

Today's salary situation

A school teacher could never boast of a high level of official income; at all times, only private practice - paid tutoring - saved him. When determining the status and prestige of a profession, the material part plays an important role, therefore, All less people strive to become teachers.

Statistical data is unshakable and suggests that a citizen practicing teaching in a school institution of general education earns approximately 20 thousand rubles monthly. In connection with such deplorable values, the government of the country decided that an increase in scientific workload should have a positive effect on the level of stable income.

In 2012, a decree was signed in which the President approved the so-called “road map”, according to which by 2019 the level of monthly official income of citizens teaching the younger generation at school should increase by at least 1.5 times.

Based on the document just signed and instructions from the country’s leadership, it was decided to index teachers' salaries, for which the federal budget allocated a fairly large sum of money. True, times of crisis followed, and the speed of implementation of the above measures decreased significantly, and in some regions it stopped altogether.

The indexation percentage for the current year is equal to 4% , which in itself is not bad, since the inflation rate should not exceed 6% Accordingly, such a revision of monthly income will almost completely cover the increase in prices for necessary goods and services.

In attempts to find a way to increase teachers' salaries, the government leadership came to the conclusion that we need to start using “effective contracts”. A significant difference from an ordinary contract regulating the relationship between a manager and a subordinate lies in the introduction of criteria that evaluate the quality and efficiency of work activity.

That is, only a citizen who very seriously and scrupulously approaches the performance of his duties enshrined in the job description, and does everything possible for regular self-improvement, can count on a high level of official income.

In essence, the changes adopted at the state level boil down to the fact that in order to increase the amount of monthly income, a teacher must constantly improve his qualifications: work on dissertations, actively participate in scientific work, etc.

Such activities can significantly improve the status of the school and have a positive impact on the quality of the educational services provided.

• The authorities ensure that the teaching staff is highly qualified, that is, the teacher must be able to:
• competently transfer existing knowledge;
• promote the formation of the right interests among schoolchildren;
• etc.

The above responsibilities are not subject to all specialists, because it is not for nothing that they say that you need to be born a teacher. It should be remembered that a teacher, like any other citizen, is interested in a decent level of pay. The quality of the educational services provided directly depends on the income received: teaching will be a joy only if the teacher does not have a headache about where to find an additional source of income.

The bills are aimed at achieving the following goals:

1. Increasing monthly income by increasing professional workload.
2. Reducing the corruption component through the introduction of a new salary system.
3. Reducing the volume of private practice. With the free time, the specialist will be able to prepare for the lesson more thoroughly.

Currently, a teacher’s salary directly depends on the average indicators in force in the region. Each subject of power is tasked with increasing the official level of teacher income in accessible and legal ways.

Wage indexation

Election campaign of V.V. Putin in 2012 was based on guaranteeing an increase in the income of specialists who devoted the working period of their lives to work in the public sector. Immediately after taking office, the President signed 11 decrees related to increasing the wages of citizens working in the public or budgetary sector. It was planned to increase the monthly income of teaching and medical personnel in stages in 2018, in the following order:

• by 200% compared to the average salary recorded in the region, if we are talking about university teachers and doctors;
• by 150% compared to the value in 2012 in relation to teachers working within the walls of secondary schools;
• at the level of average values, if middle and junior medical workers, as well as social sector specialists are taken into account.

According to official statistics, the following averages currently apply in the country:

• a teacher at a university receives approximately 35,000 rubles;
• a teacher working for the benefit of a general education institution can count on an average of 27,000 rubles;
• a master practicing industrial teaching receives no more than 23,000 rubles.

Revision of salaries of public sector workers, including teachers, produced regularly. The size of the planned increase usually depends on the amount of core inflation. There is no need to expect significant growth in the regions, since in Lately There is a negative trend - funding for the education sector is regularly reduced.

Almost all citizens have noticed the difficult economic situation of the country, so many are interested not so much in increasing income as in maintaining the current situation. The reason is simple: The growth of teachers' salaries is directly related to the average income in the region.

In 2017, the country’s leadership changed the approach to determining this indicator: the calculation now involves not only employees of institutions, but also citizens who are employed. The implementation of the changes described above has led to the fact that, despite the planned increase in budget funds for wages, real teacher wages are falling.

Will teachers expect a salary increase?

The work of teachers is very important, because these are the people who share their knowledge and experience with the younger generation. Their influence significantly affects not only the intellectual, but also the spiritual development of schoolchildren.

It has always been believed that a teacher is a representative of the intelligentsia. They tried to master this profession, as it was very prestigious. Only over the past decades have educational institutions experienced a shortage of qualified personnel, and pedagogical faculties suffer from a lack of applicants.

Stubborn statistical figures show that the average income of a Russian teacher is 30,000 rubles. It seems like a good value, many will think. But everything becomes much sadder after a closer look at individual regions:

• The Far East guarantees approximately 75,000 rubles. teacher;
• the capital of Russia can please you with 65,000 rubles;
• and in the North Caucasus District and Kalmykia they cannot offer more than 20,000 rubles.

As mentioned above, the President signed a Decree in 2012, according to which wages school teachers should have increased by 1.5 times by 2018. But the crisis situation in 2014 significantly slowed down the process and forced the country’s leadership to begin searching for additional sources of funding for the program.

When calculating the average, the final salary figures began to be used not only for teachers working in the public sector, but also for those teaching in private schools. Monthly income, of course, increased, but only formally.

Next year the Government plans introduce a new professional standard for teachers, according to which the teacher must have the skills to work with disabled children, gifted students or those who do not speak Russian.

Will there be an indexation of salaries for specialists in the educational sector in 2017? Last news they say that You can increase a teacher’s monthly income through the following ways:

• closure of small schools;
• staffing reduction.

Will there be teacher layoffs?

Salary increase teaching staff is part of the presidential roadmap approved in 2012, on the basis of which the Government developed a special program stating that the teacher’s salary should be increased annually by the inflation rate.

Will there be staff reductions in educational institutions? Such information is regularly voiced in the media, but there is no official confirmation. Even if such events are planned, the upcoming presidential elections will most likely delay unpleasant events.
