An employee whose salary in Moscow is less than the new minimum wage may demand:

additional payment for the period of validity of the new minimum wage from October 1, 2017;
compensation for late payment from October 1, 2017 (Art.236 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The Ministry of Labor has submitted a bill to the government to raise the minimum wage to the subsistence level. "Now the law on increasing the minimum wage has been submitted by the Ministry of Labor to the government, so we will now discuss it," Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets told reporters.

The head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin explained that it is planned to increase the minimum wage in two stages: from January 1, 2018 - to 90% of the subsistence minimum of the working-age population, from January 1, 2019 - to 100%. To implement the first stage in 2018 for employees of state institutions, 25 billion rubles will be required from the federal budget.

“If we go at a 90% pace from January 1, 2018, then the federal budget will be 25 billion (rubles) for federal institutions,” Topilin said.

The Ministry of Labor estimated business expenses at the first stage at 43.9 billion rubles. Almost another 56 billion rubles. will need to be allocated from regional and municipal budgets.

“Expenditures of employers in the real sector of the economy are projected at 43.9 billion in 2018,” the press service of the Ministry of Labor said.

“Raising the minimum wage will require funds from the budgets of all levels. If the bill is adopted, additional costs for increasing the minimum wage, according to the Ministry of Labor of Russia, will be in 2018: for employees of federal state institutions - 24.6 billion rubles, for employees of state institutions of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and municipal institutions - 55.7 billion rubles. " , - note in the department.

The Ministry of Finance, which began preparing the draft federal budget for 2018 and 2019-2020, did not promptly respond to a request from Gazeta.Ru.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev instructed the heads of the ministries of labor, finance and economic development to prepare a draft law on raising the minimum wage to the living wage of the working-age population in early May following a discussion in the State Duma of a report on the results of the cabinet's work in 2016. Later, he confirmed that this task must be completed.

“In the next two years, I have set a task, now the project is being prepared, we will completely drag the minimum wage to the level of the subsistence minimum. This must be done, "Medvedev said, in particular, at a recent meeting with employees of the Nevsky Plant in St. Petersburg.

From July 1, this figure rises to 7.8 thousand rubles. In April, by its decree, the government set the subsistence minimum at 9691 rubles. In particular, the value of the subsistence minimum for an able-bodied Russian was set at 10,466 rubles, for pensioners - 8 thousand rubles, for children - 9434 rubles. Over the past two quarters, this figure has decreased by 265 rubles, or 2.7%, while the rise in prices has not stopped all this time.

Since the beginning of this year, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets has repeatedly expressed her concern about the situation of poor working Russians.

According to Rosstat, the number of people with money incomes below the subsistence level in 2016 was 19.8 million, that is, 13.5% of the total population of Russia.

Medvedev previously called raising the minimum wage to the subsistence level a task for the next few years. The Minister of Labor and Social Protection Maxim Topilin also argued that in order to equalize the minimum wage and the living wage, it may take about three to five years.

About 5 million people in Russia receive wages at the level of the minimum wage, Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said in February. According to her, the low level of salaries is associated with the unwillingness of businesses to invest in innovative technologies.

The poverty level in Russia has been growing in recent years. In total, according to Rosstat, 19.1 million people, or 13.3% of Russians, had incomes below the subsistence minimum in 2015, a record figure since 2006.

According to Golodets, about a quarter of all poor Russians, 4.9 million people, are busy people with very low wages, which are virtually impossible to live on.

The subsistence minimum is set quarterly, based on the results of the previous period and varies from region to region, where it is calculated, in turn, on the basis of the subsistence minimum established in Russia. The living wage is also different for three groups of the population: able-bodied population, children and pensioners. In Russia as a whole, per capita in the third quarter of last year, it amounted to 9.9 thousand rubles.
