DD fund in accordance with federal law
Cash allowances are paid from a special fund, from the DD fund of military men serving on a contract basis, and from the DD fund of military men serving on a draft basis.
The contractual cash allowance fund consists of the military DD assets of the central apparatus of the federal executive branch, in which the Federal Service has pre-installed military service, and the military monetary allowance fund serving in military units, and the bodies and bodies of the corresponding federal executive authority, including territorial ones.
The DD fund is usually formed in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the required salaries for titles and positions, taking into account monthly allowances, bonuses and material assistance.
Thus, having examined the Federal Law on monetary allowance, we can conclude that the following patterns are inherent in the system of payments to military personnel:
- application of additional payments and compensations, taking into account the specifics of military service;
- the implementation of the economic interest of contractors in the extension of contracts;
- social justice in the remuneration of military and monetary incentives for career growth using the differentiation coefficients of DD of various categories of military personnel;
- a higher level of military DD compared with the salaries of ordinary citizens;
- an increase in monetary allowance (of certain types of payments) is made through their annual indexation.
