Judging by incoming data, in 2018, military personnel, military pensioners and persons equivalent to them will face a global change in monetary allowance, 1010 payments and physical benefits.

What is known on this moment:

As a measure to support other categories of federal workers government agencies, not subject to presidential decrees Russian Federation, as well as judges, prosecutors, employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, federal government civil servants and other categories of employees of federal government bodies, military personnel and persons equivalent to them, it is planned to increase budget allocations for an annual increase in wages, salary, monetary allowance in accordance with the forecast inflation rate from January 1, 2018 by 4 percent, from October 1, 2019 and from October 1, 2020, respectively, by 4 percent.

However, such a vague formulation says almost nothing, since from this entire list only separate categories, for example, “through the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB.”

Finance Minister Anton Siluanov made some clarity at parliamentary hearings of the 2018-2020 budget in the Federation Council:
At parliamentary hearings in the Federation Council, the Minister of Finance spoke about the indexation of pay and pensions for military personnel and law enforcement officers

About the most important thing for military personnel and law enforcement officers - the increase and indexation of pay and pensions, the phrase was uttered:

Siluanov did not specify how long the indexation of monetary allowance will take place and in what year it will be - 2018, 2019, 2020.

But if you analyze his words and the situation, you can come to a certain understanding.

From this phrase it is absolutely unclear how much and when the government proposes to increase the pay of military personnel, police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But you can think logically and still extract the maximum information from this meager phrase.

We are talking about indexation, which means the pay of military personnel, police officers and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be indexed, and not simply increased. There will be an indexation of salaries by military ranks and positions.
If we are talking about indexation, it means the increase in salaries for military ranks and positions will be by a very specific amount. This value will depend on the annual official inflation according to Rosstat. It will be about 3.2% -3.7%.
There remains a possibility that indexation will now be prescribed in the budget not according to official inflation, but, for example, at 4%. In any case, this indexation will not exceed this figure.
When is it indexed? The budget was drawn up for three years - 2018, 2019, 2020. That is, BETWEEN US SPEAKING, indexation of salaries by military ranks and positions may take place in 2020. But in Siluanov’s phrase

After a five-year break, the state will return to indexing pay and pensions for military personnel and law enforcement officers.

There is talk of a “five-year” break. NOT SIX YEAR OLD, NOT SEVEN YEAR OLD.

Therefore, it is logical to assume that the indexation of salaries by military ranks and positions will take place in 2018.

Previously, a bill was submitted to the State Duma to leave the reduction coefficient for calculating pensions for military pensioners in 2018 at the same level - 72.23%

Order of September 29, 2017 No. 2088-r. The bill proposes to leave the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating the pension of persons undergoing military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, from February 1, 2018 at the same level - 72.23 % of the amount of monetary allowance.

A bill on increasing length of service to acquire the right to a pension is being actively discussed, and it specifies a different amount of bonuses for length of service.

Article 2

Introduce the following changes to Article 2 of the Federal Law of November 7, 2011 No. 306-FZ “On monetary allowances for military personnel and provision of certain payments to them” (Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2011, No. 45, Art. 6336):

A) paragraph 13 should be stated as follows:

"13. The monthly bonus for length of service to the salary is established in the following amounts:

1) 5 percent – ​​for service from six months to 1 year;

2) 10 percent - with service from 1 to 2 years;

Article 3

We think that active work on this bill will begin after the presidential election campaign.

What they talk about on the sidelines:

Rumors began to flow from higher headquarters about an increase in the bonus for length of service, the elimination of 1010, the abandonment of the physical bonus and the refusal income tax.

Let's analyze this phrase taken from a military forum. Everything is more or less clear about the increase in the bonus for length of service. As stated above, with the adoption of the bill on increasing the length of service to acquire the right to a pension, the size of the percentage bonuses for length of service increases.

Refusal of bonuses under Order 1010 and bonuses for the qualifying level in physical training have also been discussed for a long time. Their payments require very significant funds, which are not always enough. So, with the adoption of the above bill, further measures may well follow to optimize the costs of paying military personnel.

About the abolition of income tax - no comment.

Content

For four years now, military salaries have not been increased or indexed. It is planned to increase the military allowance in 2018, the rise in prices across the country rose by 46%, the cost of a set of minimum food products jumped to 60%, expenses increased, and therefore financial content military personnel should be indexed in ascending order.

The amount of DD for military personnel and military pensions is established by federal authorities and must increase annually at the rate of inflation. Average level Current military salaries are presented in the table:

What factors influence its size?

The new material support system, launched in 2011, was aimed at increasing the prestige of the industry and the income of people performing combat duty. According to the law, the following factors influence the increase in pay for military personnel:

• Salary. Depends on the rank and position held.
• Territorial location of the military unit. There are surcharges for regions.

• Risk conditions. The bonus can reach the salary amount.
• Awards for personal achievements.
• Rewards for excellent service.
• Compensation for living expenses, one-time payments of start-up assistance for living in a new place.

Until 2012, each of the listed factors was subject to an addition of a set amount. After the reform, these factors began to determine the size of military personnel's salaries. The mechanism for calculating wages became more transparent, and income was commensurate with the rate of inflation. The system played a role in the prestige of military service and attracted new people to the profession.

When will the military pay be indexed in 2018?

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation recently announced that in the state budget indexation for military personnel is planned for the next three years. The payment is planned to be indexed annually according to inflation forecasts. We can only wait for January, the adoption of a corresponding resolution by the legislative authorities, and hope for an increase in pay for the military in 2018.

By what percentage will it increase

The official document indicates that the government will index the amount of payments by 4 percent. The State Duma Committee on Defense is confident of the opposite and focuses on the stability of the accrual wages for the military. There is information that the change in 2018 will be resolved at the level of inflation and will be the same percentage as other public sector employees in the country.

How will salaries change according to military ranks?

"Salary

in a budget institution:

Accounting

and taxation"

The 2018-2020 budget has been submitted to the State Duma and it is already possible to draw the first conclusions about the increase and indexation of military pay and military pensions

First of all, let's talk about military pensions. Along with the budget for 2018-2020, such an inconspicuous and small bill was introduced to the State Duma. It's called:

“On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020"

It seems like such a harmless name - suspension. The uninitiated man in the street will say, “Well, the law was in a hurry somewhere, ahead of events, so it was suspended.” But all military personnel and military pensions have been facing this “suspension” for a long time. Already since 2013.

This is about Part two of Article 43 of the Pension Law, on which all pensions of persons who served in military service or equivalent depend. Here is this part 2:

Part two of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 No. 4468-I “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, drug control agenciesand psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" (hereinafter referred to as the Pension Law) stipulates that the specifiedin part one of this article, monetary allowance is taken into account when calculating pensions from January 1, 2012 in the amount of 54 percent and startingfrom January 1, 2013, increases annually by 2 percent until reaching100 percent of its size. Taking into account the level of inflation (consumer prices) by the federal law on the federal budget for the next financial yearand the planning period, the specified annual increase may be established for the next fiscal year in an amount exceeding 2 percent.

Federal Law of December 19, 2016 No. 430-FZ “On the suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, drug control agencies” and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, part two was suspendedArticle 43 of the Pension Law. At the same time, the amount of monetary allowance taken into account when calculating the pension in accordance withwith Article 43 of the Law on Pension Provision, from February 1, 2017 it is 72.23 percent of the amount of the specified monetary allowance (hereinafter referred to as the amount of monetary allowance taken into account for calculating the pension).

The whole point is that this humiliatingly reducing coefficient (as military pensioners and active servicemen themselves called it) has somehow increased in recent years, not even covering inflation, but still increased. And here is what is proposed by the bill submitted to the State Duma with the budget:

The draft federal law “On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and criminal authorities” executive system, the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020" (hereinafter referred to as the bill, persons who have served in military and equivalent service) is proposed extend the suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law on Pension Security until January 1, 2019, maintaining the amount of monetary allowance taken into account for calculating the pension - 72.23 percent.

The bill will ensure a balanced federal budget in 2018 - 2020, taking into account actual incoming revenues, the need to implement priority expenditures and minimize the budget deficit in accordance with the basic principles budget system of the Russian Federation, established by the Budget Code of the Russian Federation.

That is, military pensioners are not a priority budget policy. That's how!

The bill was prepared in accordance with paragraph 6 of Article 192 of the Budget Code of the Russian Federation, according to which, if in the next financial year and the planning period, the total amount of expenses is insufficient for financial security expenditure obligations established by the legislation of the Russian Federation

Well, we know this... Our prime minister said it simpler and shorter: THERE IS NO MONEY, BUT YOU HOLD ON!

of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation submits to the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation a draft federal law on changing the dates of entry into force (suspension) in the next financial year and planning period of certain provisions of federal laws that are not provided with sources of financing in the next financial year and (or) planning period.

In connection with the adoption of the federal law “On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2018 and for the planning period of 2019 and 2020" invalidation, suspension, amendment or adoption of other regulatory legal acts not required.

The bill does not contain provisions that contradict the provisions of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as the provisions of other international treaties of the Russian Federation.

The implementation of the solution proposed by the bill will not entail additional expenses from the federal budget, and will not have an impact on the achievement of goals government programs Russian Federation.

IN in this case, if it is not planned to increase and index the reduction factor for calculating military pensions, then the possibility of increasing salaries of military personnel by military position and by military rank may be considered. Indeed, in this case, pensions for military pensioners should also increase. But in the article explanatory note There is not a word about such an increase in the budget.

In this case, for now it turns out that neither the pay nor the pensions of military personnel and military pensioners will be increased. Perhaps, of course, there is a mention of this issue in the secret part of the budget or the relevant State Duma committees will make appropriate amendments, but so far, at the time of the first acquaintance with the budget documents, no traces or mentions of increases and indexations have been found...

We continue the topic of changes in the pay of military personnel, which began in the last issue of the VPK newspaper. The most significant event of the monetary allowance reform recent years The federal law “On monetary allowances for military personnel and provision of individual payments to them” came into force on January 1, 2012. In accordance with the mentioned document and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 5, 2011 No. 992, adopted on its basis, “On the establishment of salaries for military personnel undergoing military service under a contract,” both the basic amount of monetary allowance for military personnel and the amount of military pensions have increased significantly .

The entry into force of this law was accompanied by unprecedented PR. Firstly, more than a year before the law came into force, public promises began to be made at the highest level (and did not stop until December 2011) to significantly increase the level of pay for military labor, as well as corresponding instructions government agencies and separate officials. Secondly, the very next day after the signing of the mentioned law, the overwhelming majority of funds mass media, including government " Russian newspaper”, published messages under similar headings: “President Dmitry Medvedev signed the law “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them”, “From January 1, 2012, the monetary allowance of military personnel will be increased by 2.5–3 times.”

There is a law, but payments are unclear

At the same time, apparently deliberately (after all, it is difficult to suspect all the journalists who wrote on this topic of incompetence and unfamiliarity with the text of the normative legal act they are reporting on) they kept silent about the fact that the federal law “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of separate payments to them “did not increase wages at all (he only ordered the government of the Russian Federation to establish uniform salary levels for military ranks, salary levels for standard military positions for military personnel serving under contract, and salaries for standard military positions for military personnel serving on conscription). On the contrary, the mentioned law and the federal law adopted on the same day “On Amendments to Certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation and the recognition as invalid of certain provisions of legislative acts of the Russian Federation in connection with the adoption of the federal law “On monetary allowances for military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them” and the federal law “On social guarantees for employees of internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” Federation" canceled a number of payments and benefits in kind to military personnel. Below is a partial list of them. To assess changes in the real amount of payment for military labor, it is necessary to calculate not only the change in the absolute value of monetary allowance, but also value expression canceled benefits.

1. The payment to military personnel undergoing military service under a contract who conscientiously perform the duties of military service, based on the results of the calendar (academic) year, of a one-time monetary remuneration in the amount of three salaries in cash, has been cancelled.

2. The payment of a monthly bonus for complexity, tension and special mode military service, which, among other things, served as monetary compensation for previously canceled benefits in kind.

3. The relative size of the percentage bonus for length of service has been significantly reduced, in particular, the duration of service at which this bonus begins to be paid has been increased (from six months to two years) and its maximum value has been reduced (from 70 to 40 percent of the salary).

4. In fact, salary bonuses for the positions of associate professor and professor, academic degrees of candidate and doctor of sciences for military personnel serving in positions of scientific and pedagogical staff of the military have been abolished educational institutions higher professional education. The result was an absurd situation. Federal Law “On Higher and Postgraduate Education” vocational education"(clause 5 of article 30) establishes that scientific and pedagogical workers of higher education educational institutions bonuses are paid to official salaries in the amount of 40 percent for the position of associate professor, 60 percent for the position of professor, 3,000 rubles for the academic degree of a candidate of sciences, 7,000 rubles for the academic degree of a doctor of sciences. The Federal Law “On the Salary of Military Personnel and the Provision of Separate Payments to Them” does not contain a prohibition on the payment of the above allowances. However, in fact, they have not been paid since January 1, 2012.

Let us note that, according to available information, this order was issued with the note “For official use”, was not sent to financial authorities, was not communicated to personnel and has not yet been applied in practice (as of June 2012), in connection with this the contents of the order is presented here on the basis of unofficial sources - a certain semblance of the mentioned payments was introduced by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated March 21, 2012 No. 500, namely: when determining the amount of the monthly allowance for special achievements in the service, the presence of an academic degree in a military serviceman is taken into account, as well as the position he holds professor or associate professor. However, it is established that the total amount of the bonus (taking into account the above, as well as all other grounds) cannot exceed one hundred percent of the official salary. Consequently, if a serviceman has the right to establish a bonus for special achievements in service on other grounds (for example, for a good level of physical fitness), then the amount of actual additional payment received for an academic degree and the position of professor and associate professor will be reduced, possibly to zero, so that so as not to exceed the mentioned limit.

5. Payments for the acquisition of essential property, which were previously made in the amount of up to 12 monthly salaries, have been cancelled. For the military position “Commander of a tank (motorized rifle) platoon” (10th tariff category) and the military rank of “Lieutenant” the payment was 70,764 rubles. Considering that this benefit was provided once during service, then its amount, distributed over 20 years, may seem rather insignificant (about 300 rubles per month of military service).

6. The right to preferential payment for sanatorium-resort treatment and organized recreation in sanatoriums, rest homes, boarding houses, children's health camps, and tourist bases of the Ministry of Defense has been abolished. Previously, military personnel paid 25 percent, and members of their families - 50 percent of the cost of the voucher. At the same time, the payment to military personnel undergoing military service under a contract in formations and military units of permanent readiness in positions subject to manning by soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen, and who entered military service under a contract after January 1, 2004, was canceled instead of providing sanatorium and resort benefits. treatment and organized recreation.

Table 1

The average cost of a trip to a sanatorium of the Ministry of Defense in 2012 is 26,000 rubles. If we assume that in addition to the serviceman, only one family member enjoyed the right to sanatorium-resort treatment, the value of losses as a result of the cancellation of this benefit will be 32,500 rubles per year (75 percent of the cost of the voucher for the serviceman and 50 percent for his family member) or 2708 rubles per month.

7. The annual payment of monetary compensation in the amount of 600 rubles for the serviceman himself and 300 rubles for his spouse and each minor child. For a family with two children, the amount of this payment was 1,500 rubles per year or 125 rubles per month.

8. The annual payment to military personnel to pay for the cost of vouchers for their children aged from six and a half to 15 years inclusive in organizing recreation and health care for children in the amount of up to 10,800 rubles for each child has been cancelled.

9. The payment of a one-time benefit upon dismissal of military personnel serving under a contract due to their recognition as unfit for military service due to an illness received while performing their duties, in the amount of 60 monthly salaries, has been cancelled. For military personnel undergoing conscription, the amount of this benefit has been reduced from 133,260 rubles to 50,000.

For example, for a serviceman holding the position of commander of a tank (motorized rifle) battalion and holding the military rank of “Lieutenant Colonel,” the amount of such benefits before January 1, 2012 was 448,260 rubles.

10. Payments for the maintenance of children of military personnel in preschool institutions have been cancelled. Previously, its size was 80 percent of the fee paid by parents for the first and second, 90 percent for the third and subsequent children.

11. The right of military personnel performing military service under a contract to travel free of charge to places of use of the main and additional holidays. At the same time, military personnel undergoing military service under a contract in formations and military units of permanent readiness in positions subject to manning by soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen, and who entered military service under a contract after January 1, 2004, have been canceled the payment of appropriate monetary compensation.

The right to travel free of charge once a year to the place of use of the main leave and back is reserved for military personnel serving in areas with unfavorable climatic or environmental conditions, as well as in the territory of the Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern regions. federal districts. Even for the above categories, benefits are not fully preserved.

12. Payments to citizens who have a total duration of military service of 15 to 20 years and were dismissed upon reaching the age limit for military service, health conditions or in connection with organizational and staffing events without the right to a pension, monthly have been cancelled. social benefits for five years in the amount of 40 percent of the amount of salary for a total duration of military service of 15 years and an additional three percent of the amount of salary for each year over 15 years. Instead, this category of military personnel continues to receive salary according to their military rank for only a year after dismissal.

We will analyze the losses from the cancellation of this payment using the example of the same average officer holding the position of battalion commander, with the military rank of “Lieutenant Colonel”, who had 18 years of service at the time of dismissal from military service. The amount of the benefit that would have been paid to him before January 1, 2012 was 3,661 rubles per month or 219,647 rubles for the entire five-year period of this payment established by law. This amount must be reduced by the amount provided current legislation payments in the amount of salary according to military rank for a year from the date of dismissal. For the officer in question, its value is 144,000 rubles, that is, the loss will amount to 75,647 rubles.

13. From January 1, 2015, payment of compensation in the amount of actually paid land tax and property tax individuals citizens discharged from military service upon reaching the age limit for service, health reasons, or in connection with organizational and staffing measures, having a total duration of military service of 20 years or more.

Currently, there is no reliable information about what the amount of the mentioned taxes will be in 2015.

The abolition of a number of payments that do not have clear goals for their introduction (except for the desire not to increase the size of military pensions while increasing pay), with a simultaneous increase in salaries, is long overdue and cannot be assessed other than positively. This applies to monthly cash incentives, monthly allowances for difficulty, intensity and special regime of military service. The size of the bonus for length of service has also become more balanced (in fact, it returned to those previously established in the USSR Armed Forces and in the 90s in the RF Armed Forces). Salaries according to military position and military rank again became dominant in the composition of monetary allowances.

Therefore, the specified list is presented here only to demonstrate, to put it mildly, the dishonesty or incompetence of many media outlets that announced as a fait accompli a threefold increase in wages a month before the release of the relevant regulatory documents. There was no real increase in the incomes of many military personnel since January 1, 2012, and in those cases where it did take place, it was neither three-fold nor even doubled, but was measured in percentages comparable to the consumer price growth index. The average officer's losses from the abolition of a number of in-kind benefits from January 1, 2012 amounted to approximately 9,100 rubles per month (sum of lines 9–16 in Table 2).

Income and benefits

table 2

In further calculations, we will not take into account losses from the cancellation of monthly social benefits for citizens dismissed without the right to a pension, with 15 years of service or more, as well as a one-time benefit upon dismissal of military personnel serving under a contract due to their recognition as unfit for military service on health. The refusal to take into account these payments is explained by the fact that, simultaneously with the abolition of these benefits, the amount of a number of payments was increased within the framework of the mandatory state social insurance life and health of military personnel, as well as the absolute size monthly allowance dismissed without the right to a pension in the amount of salary according to military rank, maintained for a year from the date of dismissal. Without taking into account losses from the abolition of these benefits, the average officer has lost 6,850 rubles per month since January 1, 2012.

Now let’s find out how the total monetary allowance of a serviceman has changed since the specified date. In order not to clutter the material with calculations, we present their results for one average serviceman, whom we considered above. Let us recall that this is a lieutenant colonel serving in the city of Moscow or the Moscow region, with 18 years of service, holding the position of commander of a tank (motorized rifle) battalion, and having two children: a schoolchild and a preschooler.

As of December 2011, his allowance was 60,843 rubles. This includes the following payments:

salary according to military rank (3034 rubles);
salary for a military position (4437 rubles);
monthly bonus for complexity, intensity and special regime of military service (7099 rubles);
monthly cash incentive (4437 rubles);
percentage bonus for length of service (3,736 rubles);
monthly percentage bonus for military personnel admitted to state secrets on an ongoing basis (1,331 rubles);
financial assistance (1/12 annual size– 1245 rubles);
monthly bonus for command (leadership) of military units and military units(400 rubles);
monetary reward for class qualifications (for first class - 355 rubles);
annual monetary compensation in the amount of 600 rubles for the serviceman himself and 300 rubles for the spouse of the serviceman and each of his minor children (1/12 of the annual amount - 125 rubles);
bonus for exemplary performance of military duty (1/3 maximum size quarterly bonus - 1868 rubles);
one-time monetary reward for conscientious performance of military service duties (1/12 of the maximum annual remuneration - 1868 rubles);
additional payment provided for by order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated July 26, 2010 No. 1010 (in the amount of one third calculated value for the fourth quarter of 2011 - 40,000 rubles).

The amount received was reduced by the amount of personal income tax - 9092 rubles.

The calculation of the monetary allowance received in 2012 was made on the basis of the provisions of the order of the Minister of Defense of December 30, 2011 No. 2700. However, the said order was returned by the Ministry of Justice without state registration(letter of the Ministry of Justice of Russia dated March 12, 2012 No. 01/17687-DK). In accordance with the rules for the entry into force of regulatory legal acts of federal executive authorities, such an order is not subject to application as not having entered into force.

As a result, a legal vacuum has now formed. Order of the Minister of Defense of June 30, 2006 No. 200 “On approval of the procedure for providing monetary allowances to military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” ceased to comply with regulatory legal acts more high level (federal law“On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of individual payments to them” and the resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation adopted in accordance with it), but has not been formally cancelled. Order of the head of the military department dated December 30, 2011 No. 2700, designed to eliminate existing gaps legal regulation, has not entered into force and, most likely, will not enter into force existing form. The financial authorities of the Armed Forces are currently forced to be guided in their activities in calculating monetary allowances not by current regulatory legal acts, but by telegrams, clarifications, ineffective acts of military administration bodies, in particular the mentioned order of the Minister of Defense of December 30, 2011 No. 2700. Taking into account the above The calculation given here is also based on the contents of the latest order.

On January 1, 2012, the same serviceman began to receive 64,206 rubles. This amount was obtained by taking into account the following components of the monetary allowance:

salary according to military rank (12,000 rubles);
salary for a military position (24,000 rubles);
percentage bonus for length of service (9,000 rubles);
monetary reward for class qualifications (for first class – 4800 rubles);
monthly allowance for special conditions of military service (7,200 rubles);
monthly bonus for working with information constituting state secrets (4,800 rubles);
bonus for conscientious and effective performance of official duties (1/3 of the maximum quarterly bonus amount - 9,000 rubles);
annual financial assistance (1/12 of the annual amount - 3000 rubles).

The total amount is also reduced by the amount of personal income tax (9,594 rubles).

Thus, without taking into account the loss in the value of canceled benefits in kind, the increase in pay since January 1, 2012 for the officer in question amounted to six percent (in December 2011 - 60,843 rubles, in January 2012 - 64,206). If we take into account the losses in the cost of canceled benefits (6,850 rubles), then the total volume social security the number of such servicemen in January 2012 decreased by about six percent compared to December 2011.

Table 1 shows the results of similar calculations for some common military positions. Let us note that for the analysis we selected the positions of commanders of tank (motorized rifle) units undergoing military service in the Moscow region, who do not take part in combat duty and other special events that imply additional payment in the new salary system.

As can be seen from the table, the most significant decrease in income occurs for the teaching staff of higher military educational institutions. First of all, this is due to the actual abolition from January 1, 2012 of allowances for the positions of associate professor and professor, the academic degrees of candidate and doctor of science, the academic title of professor and associate professor. If the benefits had not been cancelled, it could be considered that the state showed real concern for its defenders.

Table 2 provides a list of social guarantees that were abolished between 2002 and 2012, indicating for benefits provided in in kind, their cost expression.

A significant positive change in the payment of military labor has become a very decent level of pay for military personnel performing tasks at risk to life and health, as well as in remote areas. Thus, the commander of a combat unit of a strategic missile submarine cruiser, captain of the 2nd rank, serving in the city of Severomorsk, receives on average 184,300 rubles per month. Unfortunately, if he transfers to serve in the military administration (Main Headquarters of the Navy, General Staff), his salary may be halved. This may be a significant argument for refusing such a translation. Who then will staff the highest bodies of military command: company and battalion commanders from brigades near Moscow?

At the same time, considering the change in the social security system for military personnel from January 1, 2012, one cannot help but note such an undoubtedly positive moment as the long-awaited increase in the size of military pensions. For example, a battalion commander, a lieutenant colonel, who retired with 22 years of service, until 2012 received a pension of 6,903 rubles, and from January 1, 2012, its amount was 14,152 rubles, that is, for such a pensioner from among former military personnel there was a twofold increase in the pension. At the same time, most of the previously available benefits have been retained, only the payment of compensation in the amount of actually paid land tax and property tax for individuals has been canceled (from January 1, 2015).

In addition, an undoubted advantage of the reformed monetary allowance system was the reduction in the corruption component of regulations in this area. In particular, the commander’s right to redistribute large sums money between subordinate military personnel without legally established criteria for such a decision. The previously existing voluntarism in this matter is replaced by a normative establishment of the amounts and conditions of each payment.
