Minimum wages from May 1, 2021 in Russia by region: table 2021

Look at the gradual increase in the minimum wage in the table, which takes into account changes, in particular, from May 1, 2021.

As you can see, from May 1, 2021, there has been a fairly significant increase in the minimum wage. For 1674 rub. (RUR 11,163 – RUR 9,489). Why did this happen? Why did they suddenly decide to increase the minimum wage from May 1? Let me explain.

Moreover, starting from January 1, 2021 and thereafter annually from January 1 of the corresponding year, the minimum wage is established by federal law in the amount of the subsistence level of the working-age population as a whole in the Russian Federation for the second quarter of the previous year. In other words, starting in 2021, a mechanism has been introduced to bring the minimum wage to the subsistence level of the working population.

By Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 19, 2017 No. 1119, the cost of living for the working population is 11,163 rubles. Thus, one could expect that the minimum wage of 11,163 rubles would be established from January 1, 2021. However, the situation changed dramatically after V.V.’s statement. Putin. During a working trip to the Tver region, Vladimir Putin promised: the minimum wage in Russia will be equal to the subsistence level from May 1, 2018.

Thus, bringing the minimum wage to the subsistence level of the working-age population occurred earlier than planned - from May 1, 2018. The corresponding law has already been prepared and is awaiting submission to the State Duma.

The subsistence minimum is the cost of a conditional consumer basket, which includes a minimum set of food products, non-food products and services that are necessary to ensure human life. The cost of living also includes mandatory payments and fees.

The cost of living is approved at the end of each quarter, using numerous statistical data, including the inflation rate, to determine it. The federal subsistence minimum is set by the Government of Russia, and regional minimums are set by regional governments.

December 19, 2021

The Federation of Trade Unions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory held negotiations with social partners to conclude a Regional Agreement on the minimum wage in the Krasnoyarsk Territory for 2021.

During the negotiations, the Federation of Trade Unions of the Territory proposed to establish a minimum wage in the territories of the region equal to the minimum wage (minimum wage) established at the federal level from January 1, 2021 (9,489 rubles) multiplied by the regional coefficient and percentage bonuses. Thus, for example, in the central and southern regions the minimum wage would be 15,182 rubles. The regional government calculated that to implement an agreement with such parameters it would be necessary to allocate an additional 6.1 billion rubles from the budget. and proposed their own parameters for the minimum wage. For the calculation, figures were taken from the Regional Agreement on MW in force in 2021, indexed by 4%. Regional organizations of the public sector trade union (health care, government institutions, education, culture) made their own adjustments and proposed making an exception for the central and southern regions of the region and instead of 11,016 rubles. (10,592 rubles * by 4%) to set the minimum wage at the level of the subsistence level of the second quarter in Russia (11,163 rubles). A draft regional agreement with these parameters was sent to the regional government for approval.

However, the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation determined that the minimum wage (minimum wage in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation) does not include the regional coefficient and the percentage increase in wages. Thus, the minimum wage established at the federal level (from January 1, 2018 – 9,489 rubles) must be subject to a regional coefficient and a percentage increase. For example, in the central and southern regions of the region this value will be 15,182 rubles. And in the northern regions of the region this value will be greater.

It was precisely with these parameters that the FPKK initially entered into negotiations. Due to the fact that the regional government and regional employers' associations did not support the trade unions' proposal, the Federation of Trade Unions of the Krasnoyarsk Territory decided that it was impossible to conclude a Regional Agreement in parameters that do not meet the ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. A corresponding letter was sent to the acting governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Uss .
