And now it’s worthwhile to understand how the wages of servicemen have varied over the past 18 years.

Recently, many transformations have occurred. July 1999 brought a doubling of the monthly salaries of the military, police and other law enforcement officials, depending on the military rank. This event occurred in accordance with the order of the President.

2003 also led to almost double the military allowance of the RF Armed Forces, depending on the rank. Thus, the salary was equal to the qualification level premiums for public servants.

Then, over the course of four years, a systematic increase in the salary of the army workers followed:

2006 - by 16%;
2007 - 11%;
end of 2007 - 16%;
2008 - 11%;
2009 - 8.5%.

The current salary level, depending on the position and rank, as well as additional allowances, was formulated in 2012. This happened on the basis of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 306 of November 7, 2011 “On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of separate payments to them”.

For 6 years, the amount of military allowance remained unchanged. This happened due to the fact that it was decided to stop the indexing of the military for an indefinite period.

military units;

Salaries for these employees are issued with a higher coefficient (or several). Its or their size is based on a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, and also depends on where the formation is deployed, as well as on the tasks that it performs.

These coefficients that increase the employee's wages are correlated with the monetary allowance (its size), calculated in the proper manner. It is worth noting that at the same time there is no new salary amount for the military that would be used to indicate the level of salary for the purpose of calculating pension payments.

The above rules are relevant for employees in the contract service.

Conscripts who serve under special conditions have monthly salaries.

There are positions in the army that can be replaced by privates, sailors, sergeants, or foremen.Employees in such positions who work on a contract basis are entitled to monthly or other payments in accordance with the standards. At the same time, do not forget that in this case, increasing coefficients for them are not established.

Upon dismissal of the employee, a one-time payment is required (salary for two months, depending on the official position).

This payroll schedule is relevant for the following service categories:

The execution time of a soldier is long outside the borders of the Russian Federation.

Workers who fulfill the requirements in special circumstances or in an armed conflict, namely, for a specific period in the area where such a situation was indicated, as well as places that are related to the border of military conflicts.

It is interesting to note that the exact time of the beginning and end of an emergency or assignment of a place to a collision zone will be taken into account. This time is established by law.

The period during which a serviceman works under special conditions is recorded by orders of the authorities of an army unit or unit.
