What is the minimum wage

The minimum wage, or minimum wage, was first adopted by the United Nations in 1970. In the USSR, the minimum wage limit was adopted in 1973; its volume was 70 rubles and did not change until 1991. Over the past 17 years, the value of the minimum wage in Russia has increased more than 111 times.

Minimum wage– a lower threshold approved at the legislative level of the Russian Federation, which is used to control wages, establish the amount of payments for temporary unemployment of an employee, the amount of tax deductions, contributions to extra-budgetary funds, the amount of maternity benefits, and the amount of child care benefits.

Thus, accountants, owners of organizations, individual entrepreneurs and ordinary employees need to know the minimum wage in order to know their rights.

In addition, the minimum wage has a significant impact on the country’s economy:

• An increase in the minimum wage increases revenue to the country's budget
• Promotes redistribution of income to the poor
• The minimum wage is the starting point in determining the well-being of the population
• Based on the minimum wage, fixed insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs are calculated
• Increases the quality of life of the country's population

At the same time, according to experts, the minimum wage also has negative aspects:

• Contributes to the growth of inflation, since additional costs of complying with the lower wage limit are, as a rule, included in the price of the product;
• It does not contribute to the growth of education among the population and the development of small businesses, since everyone is provided with a certain level of payment; the minimum wage has a special impact on individual entrepreneurs;
• Causes unemployment during a crisis, since job cuts are the only solution if it is impossible to reduce wages below a certain level.

The minimum wage from January 1, 2017 is 7,500 rubles

As a rule, changes to the minimum limit occur on the first day of the new year. However, this did not happen in 2017, this moment the minimum line corresponds to 7,500 rubles; it was established on July 1, 2016.

At the same time, the 2017 minimum wage, adopted in July 2016, began to be displayed on the amount of insurance premiums only from January 1 of the current year. This happened due to the fact that the recalculation of the amount of insurance premiums, according to Russian legislation, can occur once a year.

From July 1, 2017, the minimum wage in Russia will increase to 7,800 rubles

This year, the minimum salary limit for employees will change on July 1 and the new minimum wage will be 7,800 rubles.

In addition to inflation, the following factors influence the lower wage limit:

• Unemployment rate in the country
• Efficiency of activities of entrepreneurs and organizations
• State pricing policy

It should be noted that the change in the minimum wage that will occur on July 1, 2017 will not affect the amount of insurance premiums, since their recalculation already took place on the first day of this year.

It is noteworthy that the minimum wage includes not only the employee’s salary itself, but also all kinds of allowances: compensation, bonuses, rewards.

At the same time, the salary required by law is paid for a certain period, and not for the actual amount of time worked. That is, an employee can work two shifts, but his monthly minimum wage will be 7,500 rubles.

As for the forecast, experts talk about a further increase in the minimum wage. Thus, in 2018, according to experts, the lower limit of wages should reach 8 thousand rubles.

We all understand that wages in Moscow or St. Petersburg cannot be compared with wages in Pskov or Tolyatti. It was this fact that contributed to the emergence of the concept of regional minimum wage.

In this case, the regional minimum wage must be higher than or equal to the federal one. So the minimum wage in Moscow in 2017 is 2.3 times higher than the federal one.

The process of establishing a regional lower limit is interesting: it is determined by local authorities after agreement with trade unions and employers. Moreover, if a businessman does not agree with the decision of local authorities, he can conduct his activities according to the federal border. To do this, he must send a letter to the Labor Inspectorate.

Also, regional figures do not apply to employees employed in companies whose activities are funded from the federal budget.

Regional significance does not affect the amount of benefits and payments.

Minimum wage, insurance payments and benefits

Let's calculate payments for pension and health insurance.

The formula for calculating the amount of payments for employee pension insurance is as follows:

Minimum wage * 12 months * 26%. Let's substitute 7,500 into the formula and get 23,400 rubles.

The formula for calculating the amount of payments for health insurance is presented as follows:

Minimum wage * 12 months * 5.1%. Thus, the deduction for the employee’s health insurance will be 4,590 rubles.

Now let's look at the timing of insurance payments. When and how to make mandatory payments, each entrepreneur decides for himself. He can make contributions on any day during the year, he can pay the entire amount at once, or he can pay it in parts.

The deadline for paying insurance premiums is the last working day of each year. Moreover, if December 31st falls on a weekend, the last day of payments is postponed to the first working day of the next year.

In addition, those businessmen who receive an annual income above 300 thousand rubles are required to pay an additional 1% for pension insurance on income exceeding 300 thousand rubles.

There is also a limit on the maximum amount of pension insurance payments per employee. They should not exceed eight times the minimum wage.

That is, the maximum amount of payments in favor pension fund in 2017 will be 60 thousand rubles. And the total amount of payments towards pension insurance for the year cannot exceed 187,200 rubles.

As for benefit payments, the minimum wage affects their volume in the following cases:

• The employee's length of service does not exceed six months
• The employee's salary is less than the minimum wage

Maternity and pregnancy benefits are calculated using the following formula:

(Number of days of maternity leave * minimum wage * 24 months) / 730 days (two years) and amounts to 34,521.2 rubles for 2017.

Can the salary be lower than the minimum wage?

Is it possible to set an employee’s salary below the minimum wage? Oddly enough, the answer to this question is yes.

This is possible in the following cases:

• An employee works part-time for your company. In these cases, the salary depends on the number of hours worked and, accordingly, may be lower than the established minimum. It is necessary to make a reservation that such a state of affairs is possible only with mutual consent and the conclusion of an additional agreement
• The employee works part-time for the organization. They are initially hired on no more than part-time basis, so can only receive 50% or less of the minimum wage
• An employee's salary consists not only of a fixed salary, but also of a monthly bonus and allowances. The employee did not comply monthly norm and he is not entitled to a bonus according to the local act on the calculation of bonuses. In this case, the employee will not receive a bonus and his monthly payment will be below the minimum wage. But here it is important to prescribe the procedure for paying bonuses (indicators, volume)

Responsibility for wages below the minimum wage

If none of the above conditions are met, but your employees are paid below the minimum, you will face certain sanctions.

These sanctions take the form of fines. The amount of fines depends on the severity of the violator, that is, the number of violations, as well as on the size of the organization and its legal status.

If you are the head of a department, production, small organization, or are a private entrepreneur, then for violating the law you will be fined from one to five thousand rubles. If you did not learn the lesson the first time and repeated the violation, the fine will vary from ten to twenty thousand rubles.

If you are a legal entity, the head of a large company, then for underpayment to employees you will be fined in the amount of thirty to fifty thousand rubles. If this is not the first time you have been caught, the fine will increase and will range from fifty to seventy thousand rubles.

At the same time, remember that the minimum wage in Russia includes not only a fixed salary, but also bonuses, allowances and raises. Therefore, the salary itself may be lower than the minimum minimum wage (this is not punishable by law), if the employee’s total salary per month, taking into account all additional payments, reaches up to the minimum wage.

Also see how the minimum wage changed in 2018 in the article: “Minimum wage from May 1, 2018 in Russia by region: table.”
