The size of the minimum wage in the Irkutsk region in 2021

The minimum wage is a legally established minimum that must be paid to an employee working full time, including those living in Kirensk. The definition of minimum wage is given in Art. 133 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

In the case where an employee works half-time or part-time, payment below the established minimum is allowed. The indicator is regularly recalculated, taking into account changes in the cost of products and services included in the consumer basket.

Increase in the minimum wage from July 1, 2021

From July 1, the minimum wage is 7,800 rubles. instead of 7500 rub. From this date, take the new minimum into account when calculating wages and benefits.

At the same time, constituent entities of the Russian Federation (regions) are given the right to establish on their territory a minimum wage that 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 is agreed upon at the level of the government or administration of the subject (region, territory, autonomous district, etc.), associations of trade unions and associations of employers. So, for example, from July 1, 2021, the minimum wage in Moscow increased to 17,624 rubles. See “Minimum wage in Moscow from July 1, 2021.”

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

Typically, the regional minimum wage is higher than the federal one. However, in July 2017, a situation cannot be 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 entire 2021 - 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 determination of earnings, it is necessary to take into account the federal minimum wage (7,800 rubles).

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

• sick leave;
• for pregnancy and childbirth;
• for child care up to 1.5 years.

However, keep in mind that these benefits are considered from the federal, not the regional minimum wage. For more information, see “Benefits from July 1, 2021: new dimensions.”

Minimum wage and taxes

Some employers set the employee's salary strictly in accordance with the minimum wage (no more and no less). However, if an 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 legal norms:

• Personal income tax – articles 210 and 217 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation;
• insurance contributions for compulsory 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 (“injuries”) - Articles 20.1 and 20.2 of the Law of July 24, 1998 No. 125-FZ.

Dynamics

Let's take a closer look at how this indicator has changed over the past twenty-plus years. It should be noted that in the 98th year of the last century there was a denomination of the currency, which led to the cutting off of some zeros in the monetary currency of our country.

How to refuse the regional minimum wage from July

The agreement on the regional minimum wage from July 1, 2021 becomes binding only for those who accepted it after publication in the media. After publication, the employer is given 30 days to submit to the regional administration an application for refusal to apply the regional “minimum wage”. Such a refusal requires an explanation of the reasons why the employer cannot pay the regional minimum wage to employees. Here is a sample refusal on the minimum wage in the region:

If the regional administration does not receive a refusal on time, then it is considered that the employer “by default” agreed to the agreement on the minimum wage from July 1, 2021 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 .
