Good day, dear blog guests! Do you know that working in harsh climatic conditions has a negative impact on physical condition and health.
Low temperatures, a lack of healthy food, and short photoperiods are all part of life in the north. Therefore, special concessions are offered to employees.
Today I will tell you how northern bonuses are calculated before and after 30 years. All kinds of benefits are assigned at the federal level.
Most popular vacancies
When considering the possibility of earning money in the Far North of Russia, job applicants, in most cases, are guided by the size of the salary, as well as the demand for the specialty. The oil and gas, construction and forestry industries are actively developing and operating in this region, which has a huge impact on the labor market. Rail transport, which is one of the main means of transporting extracted raw materials, is also of great importance .
In order to clearly understand how much representatives of a number of professions earn in the north, it is advisable to analyze the most popular ones along with the minimum wage:
- Oil and gas sector: vacancies for the oil industry, driller, assistant driller (driller), excavator operator, geologist and engineer - from 60,000 to 100,000 rubles.
- Construction industry: vacancies for installer, welder, mason, argon worker, builder and finisher. The average salary can reach 50,000 rubles monthly.
- Transport: special equipment drivers, crane operators, excavator operators and motor grader operators. The salary fluctuates around 50-60 thousand rubles.
Thus, finding a suitable vacancy is quite possible, especially if the candidate meets a number of requirements that companies set for applicants, for example, has the skills to drive an excavator. In quite high demand from employers are support staff, who are most often recruited from local residents - these are cooks, security guards, maids and cleaners.
A doctor’s salary can be up to 60 thousand rubles, a driver’s salary can be 80 thousand rubles, teachers’ salaries can be up to 40 thousand rubles.
About the experience of working in the north - in the video.
Since such work is located in hard-to-reach parts of the North, located far from cities and other populated areas, personnel in the north receive salaries only at the end of their shift. Shift drivers are considered one of the most in-demand professions. The vast majority of companies make payments to employees on bank cards, which makes it difficult to receive funds, despite high minimum wages.
How to increase your chances of getting hired
Since landing a suitable position can be quite difficult, and there are many applicants for it, the candidate must meet a number of requirements. First of all, they relate to the qualifications of personnel, as well as work experience in the chosen field. In addition, the climatic features of the region also influence the list of requirements for those wishing to earn money.
Among the main requirements for candidates are the following:
- At least 2 years of experience in the specialty;
- excellent health;
- willingness to live and work in difficult conditions.
The last factor, oddly enough, is considered the last factor by applicants. Such negligence can have serious consequences, because the terrain and climate make the Far North one of the most difficult regions of the country to develop.
A higher education can be a good advantage if it coincides with the specialty of the enterprise specified in the contract.
Since employers most often do not look for candidates directly, those who want to earn money will have to deal with numerous intermediaries. This poses a certain danger, which is due to the huge number of scammers in this area. They often charge for insurance, uniforms and transportation to their future place of work, but in reality they do not provide any services in return.
The health status of the candidate is subject to a serious check by the medical staff, and in this case, doctors take a very responsible approach to finding various contraindications and other problems that prevent the candidate from obtaining the desired position.
Accommodations
The high salaries typical for this region are due to a number of negative factors that local workers have to face. First of all, this concerns everyday inconveniences related to housing and food issues. As a rule, the applicant does not know in advance where exactly the work site will be located, where he will be employed, and what the living conditions will be.
Most often, the practice is to place personnel in special dormitories in areas of the Far North, located near large factories. However, if the place of work is located far from large cities, laborers and other personnel will share a kind of residential trailer with a large number of colleagues.
The climate is typical for the Far North: in summer, the soil is more like a swamp, which requires constant efforts by workers to prepare sites for work and traffic. The number of sunny days here is extremely small, which has a serious impact on the health of staff. In winter, you have to live and work in constant and severe frost, which creates additional difficulties, coupled with the natural features of the area.
Northern bonus after 30 years
An important point when the northern bonus is calculated after 30 years is length of service. Northern seniority represents the time that has been worked. The length of service is calculated without taking into account the reasons why the activity was stopped.
You can calculate the indicator of wage premiums taking into account territorial delimitation:
- For personnel working in an area with a harsh climate, 10% is added to the salary upon completion of 6 months of work. Then, after six months, an increase of 10% is made, and so on until the maximum value of 100%.
- In Sakha or the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 10% is first added after six months, and then 10% every six months. The amount can increase up to 60%.
- In cities that are considered difficult territories, an increased supplement of up to 50% is provided.
- In areas with other unfavorable conditions, the surcharge is 30%.
Health status
When planning to work on a rotational basis in the Far North, it is advisable to take into account the impact that being in such unfavorable conditions has on the body. Today it is known for certain that working in such a climate has a devastating impact on the health of personnel.
Among the possible consequences awaiting the candidate are:
- The low level of oxygen in the atmosphere, characteristic of the Arctic, leads to diseases of the heart and vascular system, as well as surges in blood sugar.
- Vitamin deficiency caused by a lack of sunlight significantly worsens overall health.
- Low temperature and pressure changes lead to constant colds, including chronic ones.
Food in such villages also leaves much to be desired, because workers will only have access to a basic set of products, and it is impossible to buy anything in addition for two reasons: lack of cash and shops nearby. This makes working conditions extremely difficult, which is reflected in the retirement age of residents of the North, which is noticeably lower than its average Russian counterpart.
Guarantee of payments - is there one?
Shift work in the North has many nuances regarding the conclusion of the contract and the fulfillment of the conditions specified in it by each of the parties. It is almost impossible to sign a contract with an employer directly and work for Gazprom, which means you have to deal with numerous agencies that may turn out to be fraudulent.
New rules governing the relationship between employer and staff in this region provide that work can be accepted for up to 120 days, which makes payment delays completely legal and systematized.
Also, if you count, a huge number of private companies, which are much easier to get a job in than in the public sector, often leave people without pay at all, trying to reduce the cost of paying staff in a similar way.
If you plan to get a job in a private company, you need to be prepared for the fact that the payment will be significantly lower than the amount stated by the intermediary.
If there is no payment, leaving the region will become a big problem, because most of the jobs are located far from large cities and civilization in general, not to mention the lack of funds to pay for transport. That is why the Gazprom North shift seems to be the most reliable option.
However, if the applicant managed to get a job with the police or Gazprom, where the salary is slightly higher, or similar state corporations, there are reliable guarantees that the employer will fulfill his obligations. There is also a social package, which is noticeably wider in the case of employment in the police. A police officer earns 15% more here than in other regions.
Can an employer make salary increases on his own initiative?
Certainly. The employer, interested in ensuring that employees do not leave him and work more efficiently, rewards employees with rubles. However, the law does not regulate the amount of additional remuneration. Here are some examples of allowances.
Thus, a bonus can be received for mentoring - when experienced employees teach young employees the intricacies of the work process. Or for a high professional classification, having an academic degree, access to state secrets or knowledge of foreign languages.
Payments as a measure to reward employee achievements are established at any time, and employees are given additional warning before canceling them.

Support staff
To ensure the proper functioning of worker settlements located near the facilities, a fairly impressive staff of support staff is used, receiving additional payments and allowances. This could be an interesting opportunity for a job seeker, especially if they are not well qualified for the job openings.
Such personnel should include vacancies:
- security guard - 35 thousand rubles;
- cooks - 25 -30 thousand rubles;
- nurses up to 27 thousand rubles;
- maid - 20 thousand rubles;
- cleaner - 25 thousand rubles;
- general workers 35 thousand rubles;
- driver 45 thousand rubles;
- flaw detectorist - up to 40 thousand rubles.
Naturally, working in such conditions will be noticeably more profitable than in other regions of the country. This is explained by the fact that the minimum wage of a security guard or cook consists of a salary and an allowance due to extreme working conditions. Such bonuses reach 25% in some cases, and salaries are higher than elsewhere , so it is not difficult to calculate the expected salary for each profession.
Is it true that residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory are entitled to salary increases?
Exactly. Krasnoyarsk Territory is a region with special climatic conditions. It has regional coefficients and northern allowances, which increase the federal minimum wage (minimum wage).
The minimum salary level, taking into account bonuses and regional coefficients in the region from the beginning of 2021, is:
- Norilsk, Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) district, Khatanga village - 31,538 rubles;
- Turukhansky district (north of the Nizhnyaya Tunguska and Turukhan rivers), Evenkiy district (north of 63 north latitude) - 29,112 rubles;
- North Yenisei district, Evenki district (south of 63 north latitude) - 27,899 rubles;
- Turukhansky district (south of the Lower Tunguska and Turukhan rivers) - 25,473 rubles;
- Kezhemsky district - 25,473 rubles;
- Boguchansky, Yenisei, Motyginsky districts, the cities of Yeniseisk, Lesosibirsk - 21,834 rubles;
