Material security of military personnel. Cash allowance of servicemen

The career of a military man in Russia is traditionally held in high esteem. At the same time, the state is trying to make it attractive also from a material point of view. The Russian soldier should be sure that in peacetime he and his family will be provided with financial support, housing. Many contract soldiers go into the army, believing that the attitude of the state will be appropriate. To what extent does the real situation in the Russian army correspond to the expectations of the officers? What laws are working to solve problems related to financial and other support for soldiers?

the federal law

The material security of Russian servicemen is regulated by several normative acts. Among the main ones is the Federal Law "On monetary allowance", adopted on November 7, 2007. The regulation of this legal act includes financial payments in favor of servicemen, taking into account their positions, titles, length of service, characteristics of tasks and other conditions.

The structure of the monetary allowance

The key provisions of the law that regulate, in fact, the monetary allowance of servicemen, are set forth in its second article. There, in particular, it is said about the structure of the corresponding payments. The monetary allowance of servicemen, therefore, consists of two monthly salaries - determined by military rank and formed in accordance with the position held by a person, as well as a number of additional payments. This applies to the military under contract. Material maintenance of conscript servicemen in the aspect of monetary allowance, in turn, is formed from a single type of salary - by position and, where possible, additional payments.

Salary Amount

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the amount of salaries in the wage of the military is unified, it is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. This body as a whole is responsible for all major changes in the monetary allowance of military personnel. In some cases, some of the powers delegated to other executive structures of power.

Also, in accordance with the legal norms that contain the Law on the Payment of Servicemen, the salary in the army should be indexed on an annual basis. The basic criterion here is the dynamics of inflation, officially calculated by Rosstat. The calculation of the monetary allowances of servicemen implies the use of appropriate coefficients.

Additional payments

We will study in more detail the essence of those most additional payments that, in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation, can be charged to the salaries of the military. The nature of the corresponding allowances for the contentment of contract soldiers and conscripts is different. We study the features of additional payments for both.

If a person is on call, he can count on the following bonuses to the salary: for the qualification class, for special conditions of service, for performing complex tasks that involve the risk in peacetime, and for working with information that is state Secret.

The monetary allowance of military personnel under the contract is also accompanied by additional payments. In particular, this is the percentage increase to the salary (total) for long service. It ranges from 10% (with a length of service between 2 and 5 years) to 40% (at a rate of 25 years or more). There is also an allowance for the qualification class, as in the case of conscript soldiers. It ranges from 5% of the salary according to the post (for the third grade) to 30% - if the qualification category of the master is assigned.

As for the extra charge for working with information related to state secrets, its value is up to 65% of the salary. The specific indicator for this additional payment depends on how secret is the information with which a person works.

The extra charge, charged for the fact that the soldier is serving under special conditions, can reach 100% of the salary. Criteria reflecting its magnitude are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation. In the calculation specific conditions for the service are taken, as well as the category of soldiers. Also, 100% can achieve a surcharge for performing tasks that involve risk in peacetime. Similarly, the specific amount of the supplementary payment is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Remains an extra charge for special achievements. Its value can also be up to 100% of the salary formed on the basis of a military post. The rules for its payment, in turn, determine the competent executive authority.

We also note that in some cases, contract soldiers can count on additional fixed payments in the form of material assistance. Another source, due to which it is possible to increase the monetary allowance for servicemen, is a premium for conscientious service. Their value, as a rule, is commensurate with the salary in rank. However, payment of monetary allowance to military personnel in terms of the premium for conscientious service can, according to the law, reach three salaries. In turn, the annual amount of material assistance should not be less than one total salary of an officer.

Increasing coefficients

We examined how the monetary allowance of servicemen in Russia is calculated. However, a significant amount of tasks of the Russian Army requires the presence of officers abroad. If a serviceman fulfills his duty in formations located abroad, he has the right to count on various kinds of raising coefficients. Their calculation is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Similarly, the Law on the monetary allowance of servicemen establishes rights for officers who solve tasks in emergencies, armed conflicts and counter-terrorist operations, as well as ensuring public order in some territories of the Russian Federation.

In addition, officers who serve in the Far North and regions that are equated to them, as well as areas with unfavorable climate, for example, in the desert areas, also receive a salary with the corresponding coefficients.

When a soldier leaves the army, the state guarantees a one-time payment. The size of it depends on the length of service. If it is less than 20 years, then the corresponding allowance is 2 salaries, if more - 7. The law provides for scenarios in which non-recurring benefits can not be paid upon retirement. This can be connected, for example, with the deprivation of an officer's rank, with punishment in the form of imprisonment, expulsion from a military high school for indiscipline, failure to fulfill the terms of the signed contract. It is interesting that the allowance is also not paid in some cases if a person moves to the service from the army to the state power structures or customs.

Other aspects of material support

The material security of servicemen is not only a monetary allowance. The state guarantees the military also other options for support. So, for example, payment of lifts is provided - when moving from one point of service to another. Their size is equal to one salary, as well as 25% of its value in favor of each member of the military family. In some cases, the military is entitled to receive, in addition to the lifting, a daily allowance. As a rule, they are appointed in connection with the transfer of an officer to a new place of service. Daily allowances are paid, based on the number of days the soldier is on the road. The specific amount is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

State policy, which provides material support for servicemen, also includes compensation payments related to the hiring of housing. Their value depends on the specific region of service. For example, in Moscow and the region - this is about 15 thousand rubles.

Social package

An example of a large-scale support measure, supplementing the monetary allowance of servicemen, is the state social package, which is supplied to soldiers serving under the contract. One of the key components of its structure is housing provision. The state helps military service housing.

If a person has served in the army for more than 20 years, then he has the right to apply to the authorities for assistance in purchasing an apartment at the chosen place of residence. A similar right arises for a serviceman after retiring from the army when he reaches the age limit, on health, or because of organizational measures. To buy housing in preferential order, the employee can, through participation in the state mortgage program of the relevant orientation.

Concerning the program for providing military housing, in 2015-2017, for example, there are significant allocations from the state budget - about 81.5 billion rubles. Regarding housing subsidies, the authorities expect them to spend about 40 billion rubles in 2015. Let's note, by the way, that the share of total expenditures for the army in the state budget of the country is about 20%.

The next component of the social package under consideration is education. A soldier has the right to study during the period of service in the army, and also has priority in enrolling in institutions of higher education and institutions of secondary vocational education after retiring from the army.

Within the framework of the social package guaranteed by the state for the military, soldiers are entitled to expect also benefits in medical care. At the same time, the corresponding measure of support is not only for the servicemen themselves, but also for members of their families.

The state social package also provides for providing soldiers with food and necessary household items. This is primarily the organization of food in military units, the issuance of rations, provision of uniforms and other things.

Another important measure of state support for servicemen is free travel. Its use is possible, if the soldier goes to a new object of service, on vacation, on a business trip. But here there is a condition - this privilege is given only to the military, who serve in the Far North, as well as equated to them. If this criterion is met, free travel is guaranteed to one of the members of the soldier's families. At the same time, compensation is not prepaid. The serviceman must pay for the ticket himself, then, in accordance with the procedures prescribed by law, the Ministry of Defense of Russia returns the costs to him.

Content of the conscripts

Let us consider in what particular figures the monetary allowance of Russian servicemen can be presented. To begin, we will study the indices determined for conscripts. Now the size of the corresponding payments for conscripts is rather modest - 2 thousand rubles. per month. At the same time, additional payments can be up to 100% - in practice this usually refers to cases when a soldier is serving in a risk situation in peacetime. For example, if he participates in parachute operations, engaged in a diving case, works with explosives. In the media, there are reports that in the coming years the Russian state, perhaps, will increase the monetary content of recruits.

Content of contract workers

Consider the figures for contract soldiers of some rank. Such an aspect, as the material provision of UCP soldiers (public-state training), people who decided to join the army on a professional basis, is of considerable concern. Future officers who wish to defend their homeland want to be sure that in peacetime the state will be able to take care of the material component of the officer and his family. We will also try to make an approximate calculation of the monetary allowances of servicemen of the relevant categories.

A shooter, or an ordinary soldier, has a salary based on a military position of 10-12 thousand rubles. The branch commander can count on the basic part of the payment of about 15 thousand rubles. In general, a contract soldier who has just started military service can expect an initial salary of about 15,000 rubles.

The next type of army salary - by title. Its value is much less than for payments related to posts. For privates, the figure is about 5 thousand rubles, for corporals - more: about 5,5 thousand rubles. Junior sergeant can count on a salary of 6 thousand rubles. The soldier is a step higher - 7 thousand rubles. Senior sergeant - about 7,5 thousand rubles. The foreman, in turn, can have a salary of about 8 thousand rubles. These values, as we already noted above, are indexed relative to the level of inflation.

In order to carry out the calculation of the monetary allowances of servicemen of the above categories, we will have to add both types of salary, and also increase them by the size of the corresponding allowances. Let's consider a simple example.

The junior sergeant is more likely to have a salary of 15,000 rubles for military service, 6,000 rubles for his rank. Most likely, he has served in the army recently: 2-5 years. The corresponding extra charge for long service, if you take the current figures, determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, will be 2,100 rubles. The sergeant, most likely, has the qualification for 3 class. This circumstance causes a slight increase in the monetary allowance for servicemen based on the results of the calculations. For the sergeant, the corresponding allowance will be 750 rubles. Suppose also that he is charged a surcharge of 50% of the salary for the position for special conditions of service.

We will calculate the monetary allowances for servicemen in the posts of sergeant, adding both salaries, adding additional payments, as well as 50% of the part of the financial base that is based on the position. It will be 31 350 rubles. Note also that in the calculation of monetary allowances, servicemen may include various kinds of bonuses or material assistance. This can increase the calculated figure by about 7-8 thousand rubles. Thus, the material security of the UCP military personnel, if affected, then future or novice officers will see that their prospective salary as a whole corresponds to the average in the country or even may be higher than it. Although in some regions of Russia this indicator will be considered quite decent.

It is interesting that if a contract soldier takes a certain position in the temporary performance of duties, then it will receive a salary and other allowances relative to her, and not with her current status. In turn, the monetary allowance provided for by his personal title and position is not paid. The soldier will receive his salary as if he were serving on a temporary vacancy for an unlimited period of time.

Material security of military pensioners

We examined the aspects that reflect the payment of monetary allowances to military personnel, but mainly only for those who are currently serving in the army. It will also be useful to examine the aspect concerning the material security of persons who retired after they retired. Just as in the case of salaries for active officers, the indexation of the monetary allowances of servicemen who retired is carried out by the state. In particular, in October 2015 its value will be 5.5%.

The general formula for calculating the retired military pension is as follows. If the officer has served for 20 years or more, then the corresponding payments will make up, in general, 50% of the allowance, as well as 3% for each year in excess of basic service in 20 years. However, the maximum pension can not exceed 85% of the allowance. In turn, if the military has served 25 years, then at the base of the pension - the same 50% of the allowance, as well as 1% for each additional year.

The laws of the Russian Federation guarantee that the size of the retired military pension will not be reduced by virtue of possible reforms in the approaches to calculating the sums of monetary allowances for officers. Theoretically, it is possible that, due to the introduction of adjustments to legal acts regulating military salaries, the Ministry of Finance may have formal grounds for lowering the absolute value of the military pension, as well as compensations for the active military. According to Article 5 of the Federal Law "On the monetary allowance of servicemen" in such cases, it is guaranteed that the actual amount of payments will be at least not lower than before the changes in the laws.
