When a teacher performs several types of work (functions), allowances can be established for several reasons.

"This measure will increase salaries, as well as provide a differentiated approach to the remuneration of teachers, taking into account the volume, complexity and effectiveness of their work," the press service of the Ministry of Education notes in a statement.

The average accrued salary of a teacher in Belarus amounted to 2.65 million rubles in January of this year,TUT.BY was informed by the Ministry of Education.The assistant educator has even less - 1.5 million. Thiswith an average accrued salary in the country for the same January 4.368 million rubles and average salary in education3.076 million And what is the salary of educators in other countries? And how can you raise it?

The fact that the salary of kindergarten workers is low in our country is no longer only the employees of preschool institutions themselves. On January 15, at a meeting with representatives of Belarusian and foreign media, Alexander Lukashenko publicly promised to increase the "undeservedly low" salary of educators. It turns out, the minister of education said a little later, documents on this issue "are already being considered by the Council of Ministers." And Deputy Prime Minister Anatoly Tozik said that.

Tozik expressed a wish to pass on to the parents all the payment for the food of the children in the kindergarten (since March 1, the payment of parents for food in the kindergarten has already increased from 40 to 60%), and also to consider the issue that parents pay a certain percentage of the cost of maintaining their children in a specific garden. "We will use this money to increase the salaries of people who take care of children. As a result, this will help improve the quality of the educational process," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The fact that salaries need to be increased, apparently, no one doubts. And to what level? After all, an increase of several hundred thousand Belarusian rubles can hardly be called significant. TUT.BY compared the salary of a teacher with the average salary in different countries.

It is curious that at the end of 2012 the issue of raising the salaries of educators was raised in Russia. Putin set the task by the beginning of 2013 to bring the average salary of educators to the average salary in the field of general education in each specific region. And now local authorities regularly report on increases. Thus, the average salary of teachers of preschool institutions in the Sakhalin Region, for example, has increased by a third since the beginning of the year and amounted to 33,500 rubles. The average wage in Russia, according to statistics, amounted to 27,340 rubles in January.

But the media have not yet reported on the increase in the salaries of educators in the North Caucasus, for example. And the mother of a 5-year-old baby, Svetlana from the Stavropol Territory, said that a teacher in their kindergarten "receives 4,000 Russian rubles + a bonus. A nanny only 4,000 rubles. For comparison, I (a massage therapist in a clinic) have 8,000 Russian rubles." That is, the teacher gets only 6,000 rubles per month. The working conditions of a Russian teacher practically do not differ from ours, but there are more children in the group - 30-33 people. "There is no less than 27-28 in a nursery," says Svetlana.

Average salary for Estonia for 2012 - 678 euros "net", the minimum wage - 273 euros. Veronika, a resident of Tallinn, told us about this. "Specialists with higher education have the following salary: for a methodologist teacher - 587 euros per month, for a senior teacher - 518 euros, for a teacher - 491 euros, for a junior teacher - 465. Now about specialists with secondary education: 498 euros per month receives senior teacher, 473 - teacher, 448 - junior teacher," the interlocutor shared specific figures. The working conditions of Estonian caregivers are very similar to ours.

IN Germany the teacher also has about the average salary in the country. "Average salary Germany, I think, at the level of 2-3 thousand euros of gross income, that is, tax will still be withheld from it. The tax in Germany is high, says local resident Irina Makovetskaya. - If we take the same teacher, then their average salary in the industry is 2,300 euros. On hand, it turns out, 1,500. "Then you need to take into account medical insurance and housing," the woman argues, "insurance will be about 300 euros, rental housing (and the Germans mostly live in rented apartments) about 500 euros and 200 euros - utilities. That is, the teacher will have 500 euros for everything about everything. If she sends her child to a kindergarten, then even if she pays an average of 30-40-50 euros per week, she gets up to 200 euros per month. If there is a husband, and he also works, then the situation still looks normal. And if the husband has some kind of trouble with work, then the life of the Germans does not seem so financially prosperous.

Kindergartens in Norway consist of groups of children: 0-2 years old and 3-5 years old, according to a UNESCO report. There can be different age groups: 0-5 years. For one teacher with a bachelor's degree, there are 14-18 children over 3 years old and 7-9 kids under 3 years old. Natalya Abramenko from Oslo tells about the work of a teacher in a particular kindergarten: “We have 12 children in the group. They have one teacher and two assistant teachers. The teacher has a special (higher) pedagogical education, plans classes, keeps records. Assistants, as a rule, young people without specialized education. Both the educator and assistants work on an equal footing with the children. The educator plays and communicates in the same way, in the younger groups he changes diapers. " The average salary in Norway, says the interlocutor, is NOK 35,200, or $6,079 per month.

The average monthly salary of workers in private kindergartens in Norway as of October 2012 was 30,100 crowns, according to the Norwegian Central Bureau of Statistics.

IN Sweden The work of an educator is not considered highly paid. “On average, they get 2,350 euros a month. But there is no question of survival, and sometimes they can indulge themselves,” says Niels-Petter Dufva, a journalist for Scandinavia's most popular newspaper. The average salary in Sweden is about 2,900 euros. "That is, the educator has about the average salary," the journalist says.

Hockey player from Finland Mika Oksa said that caregivers in his country earn between 1,700 and 2,200 euros per month, while the average monthly salary in Finland is about 3,000 euros.

IN Denmark the educator has about 2,000 euros "clean" (or 4,000 "dirty", because 50% goes to taxes), shared a resident of Copenhagen Ekaterina. "And the average salary we have is about 2.5-3 thousand euros" net ".

In New Jersey (USA), a kindergarten teacher earns about $ 35 per hour, in California -.

In the general database of vacancies in the United States, the average salary of a teacher is $ 32 per hour. And the average hourly wage in the US for January of this year was $23.78.

"But we must not forget that taxes up to 30% are included here," says Valeria Zolotova from New Jersey.

For comparison: just a babysitter (nanny) asks for $ 15 per hour. For this money, the employee works with young children (from 6 months). Here the main task is to feed and change diapers for babies, older children try to draw, make something."

less than ours. "In the garden, there are four teachers per group. The children were divided into subgroups of 4-5 people (up to 20 people in total) and worked with the children, then changed tables," says Tatyana Gaiko, California, USA, whose 3-year-old baby walked to a kindergarten from a military base - they put the kids to sleep somewhere right on rugs, in shoes, somewhere - on special mattresses, somewhere - in folding beds. Otherwise, the tasks of the educator are similar to those performed by the workers of our kindergartens. “They do drawing, sculpting, appliqués with children - there’s some kind of fanaticism with this business!” says Tatyana. “They also show cartoons to children, read fairy tales. In American kindergartens, children walk a lot.

In the distant Lebanon Teacher salary starts at $500 per month. In the country, the minimum is $350, the average is $1,200 per month. This was told to us by a local resident Dr. Michael Eskaf.

The Republic of Belarus is recognized as one of the most developed in the Commonwealth of Independent States. This country has a very low unemployment rate. Its policy is aimed primarily at preserving old jobs and opening new ones. Thanks to this, the citizens of Belarus have the opportunity to receive rather considerable wages for their work.

The amount of salary depends largely on how efficiently the country's economy works. With regard to Belarus, this is quite true. During the times of the USSR, this republic, although it was largely agrarian, at the same time had a fairly powerful industrial base. Despite the events that have taken place over two and a half decades, by 2019 Belarus still retains a developed industry, especially mechanical engineering and metal processing.

However, it should be borne in mind that in Belarus the salary varies greatly, depending on:

from the region - the difference can be one and a half to two times;
from the field of activity in which the employee is employed (the highest salaries are in the industrial and financial spheres, the minimum - in agriculture and social areas).

The Belarusian state allocates additional funds for certain areas, but in general it should be noted that the Belarusian economy is going through hard times in 2019.

There is a trend towards an increase in average wages - but at the same time, an increase in unemployment is also possible.

Inflation also has a certain influence - according to it, Belarus is now in 14th place in the world ranking of states.

Living wage in Belarus

The average salary includes only the net salary.

There are also all sorts of bonuses:

for harm;
length of service;
work at night.

Cash incentives in the form of bonuses are also taken into account.

Don't forget about sick leave. If you look from the other side, then deductions in the form of taxes are also made from the salary. For formal workers, the average salary includes income tax in the first place.

But there is also a lower wage limit, in other words, the minimum wage, normalized by the country's legislation, which guarantees every worker that their salary will be sufficient for a monthly living. Lowering the bar by the employer threatens him with punishment. The government of Belarus in 2019 set a living wage of 5,400 Russian rubles, which is even less than $100.

Minimum wage

The minimum wage plays an important role in characterizing the standard of living of the population. In 2019, Belarus raises the minimum wage to 330 rubles.

Employers cannot pay an employee less than the government-appointed minimum wage. You can work part-time, then the employee must receive at least half the minimum wage.

The authorities raise the minimum wage at least once a year, depending on changes in the labor market, economic growth, inflation and other indicators. The officials of the Council of Ministers establish the Ministry of Health.

Average salaries

So, how much do they earn in Belarus.

According to statistics for 2019, the average wage was 977.6 Belarusian rubles.

At the same time, the indicators vary greatly by region.

It is worth noting the following values:

The salary in Minsk is 1200 rubles.
On the territory of the Minsk region, the salary is 875 rubles.
In the Gomel region, the average salary is 783 rubles.
In the Vitebsk region - 734 rubles.
In Brest - 730 rubles.
In Grodno - 729 rubles.
In Mogilev - 723 rubles.

President Alexander Lukashenko set the task of bringing the average income to 1,000 rubles. So far this has not been achieved. Representatives of the public sector have especially low incomes. Representatives of the air transport sector have especially high incomes. It is equal to approximately 2.2 thousand rubles. Also, a high salary for workers of chemical enterprises - 1775 rubles. Employees of the petrochemical industry receive approximately 1,770 rubles.

By industry

The average monthly salary in Belarus in 2018 varies significantly depending on the profession chosen by the citizen.

The highest salaries are typical for the following industries:

information technology, here high-class programmers receive about 2,346 Belarusian rubles (72,673 rubles);
development of crude oil and natural gas fields, 1,960 Belarusian rubles (60,727 rubles);
production of coke and other products of oil refining, chemicals - from 1,153 to 1,379 Belarusian rubles (35,705–42,721 rubles);
pipeline and air modes of transport, 1,236 and 1,332 Belarusian rubles, respectively (38,291–41,265 rubles), aviation workers receive an average of 2,083 BYN (64,531 rubles);
work with finances, provision of insurance, 1,050 Belarusian rubles (32,529 rubles);
metallurgy, 1,022 Belarusian rubles (31,662 rubles).

Employees of enterprises providing entertainment services and teachers receive the lowest remuneration for their work. The remuneration of teachers of preschool educational institutions and school teachers of various specialties fluctuates at the level of 300 banknotes of Belarus (9,294 rubles).

Doctors also cannot boast of high accruals:

senior medical staff receive about 900 BYN (27,882 rubles);
the salary of paramedical personnel is 670 BYN (20,757 rubles);
the income of junior employees is limited to 510 BYN (15,800 rubles).

Tax system

In Belarus, the tax system was introduced in 1992.

It includes 15 main tax collections and 8 types of contributions to various off-budget funds.

Taxes forming the budget of Belarus:

The value added tax is 20%. This tax is paid by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.
Excise tax is paid by enterprises producing excisable goods (tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, petroleum products). The amount of excise tax depends on the product name. So, for the production of cognac, you will need to pay 3,100 BYN, and beer - 42 BYN for each liter of drink produced.
income tax.
Property tax. Payers are legal entities. The annual tax rate is 1%.
Income tax. Payments for this tax form about 10% of the state budget of the Republic of Belarus.
Land tax. The amount of tax directly depends on the value of the acquired land.

The most and least demanded professions in Belarus

The average salary in Belarus today is closely dependent on the labor profile chosen by a citizen.

Demanded professions

So, the most demanded professions in the state in question are:

Marketers. The demand for this specialty is determined by the development of the country's economic market. Thus, initiative skills, the ability to respond flexibly and quickly to the slightest market changes, as well as the ability to form a marketing strategy for a particular company are especially valuable.
Builders. It is important to note that only a highly qualified specialist with management skills, such as a chief engineer or foreman, expects a high income. In recent years, Belarus has attracted more new investment in its construction, which leads to a high need for professionals in their field with management skills.
Accountants. An experienced and competent accountant in Belarus has always been considered a prestigious profession. Such a specialist is rarely found quickly and easily. Therefore, the presence of skills in this area can guarantee a citizen a high average income.
Production managers. This profession, like the profession of an accountant, is in demand due to the lack of a large number of qualified personnel.
IT specialists. Like any other country, Belarus is subject to modernization. More and more programmers and system administrators are required for every enterprise. In addition, virtual sites are widespread, which provide IT workers with a decent income.

The least demanded professions

The least demanded professions rightly include the following positions:

Lawyers. This is due not to the lack of highly qualified personnel, but to their oversupply. Law faculties in Belarus are among the most popular destinations among young people. In view of this, there are many graduates, but jobs are not designed for such a number of employees.
translators. This is due to the fact that at this stage in the development of society, the majority of employees of companies at a level at which international cooperation is fair know English. However, it is not always easy and quick to find an interpreter, for example, from Chinese or Japanese.
Psychologists. The mentality of the population causes some misunderstanding of the need for this profession. In view of this, rare managers attract a psychologist to the enterprise. More often, these workers get jobs in schools, kindergartens, etc. At the same time, thousands of psychologists throughout the country graduate every year.

Salaries in the educational field

Teachers in Belarus have the lowest salaries. But it is worth considering the fact that the level of salary depends on the region. So, the highest salaries in Belarus are received by teachers in Minsk. Their average monthly income is 367 d.r. The lowest wages are received in the city of Molodechno (about $100).

Salaries of teachers in accordance with the specialty:

The salaries of educators in preschool institutions also cannot be called high.

The largest salaries for their work are received by educators in Minsk - 300 d.r.

The average salary of an educator in Belarus is 290 d.r. An assistant educator earns an average of 240 r.

Military wages

Military personnel in the Republic of Belarus receive five times less than military personnel in the Russian Federation. According to the government, in 2019 it is planned to increase the salaries of the military to at least 200 cash rubles. Today, the average military salary is below the minimum income level.

Salary of the military in accordance with the position and rank:

Lieutenant - 725 thousand Belarusian rubles.
Senior lieutenant - 760 thousand.
Captain - 805 thousand.
Major - 850 thousand.
Lieutenant colonel - 920 thousand.
Colonel - 103 thousand.
Platoon commander - 2.1 million
Company commander - 2.4 million
Combat - 3.1 million.
Brigade commander - 4 million.
Teacher at the military academy - 3.5 million rubles
The head of the cycle in a higher military educational institution - 3.9 million rubles.
Senior officer serving in the Ministry of Defense - 3.7 million
Head of department in the Ministry of Defense - 4.3 million rubles.
Head of department in the Ministry - 4.6 million rubles

Summing up

Currently, despite the growth, wages in the country are not as high as compared to countries with developed economies. But the advantages of working and living in Belarus include stability and a calm environment.

Starting January 1, 2020, the salary of employees of budgetary organizations, as well as those receiving state subsidies, whose employees are equated to state employees, will be calculated differently. New approaches were determined by Presidential Decree No. 27, signed in mid-January. And the Government, following it, by Decree No. 138, approved the base rate and the tariff scale for wages.

The President announced the upcoming changes in the system of remuneration of employees of the public sector back in December last year - at a meeting with the leadership of the Council of Ministers. Such changes are long overdue, just during the period of its existence, and since the beginning of the 2000s, the current wage system has undergone many point changes. On the one hand, they were all aimed at solving specific current problems, and on the other hand, they led to a noticeable imbalance in this system. Any accountant knows firsthand: as a result, today we have a fairly complex system of remuneration.

The tariff scale has changed in the most serious way. If earlier it included 27 categories, now it is only 18. The number of tariff coefficients has also been reduced - previously they were from 1 to 7.84, now from 1 to 3. Another novelty - instead of the tariff rate of the 1st category, the base rate will be used . The Government set its size at the level of 180 rubles. Moreover, it will annually revise this amount, taking into account inflation.

Thus, the salary of an employee of a budgetary organization will be formed from the base rate and the tariff coefficient, - Zhanna Stativko, a member of the Standing Commission on Labor and Social Affairs of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, commented on the innovations.

The advantage of the new grid, the deputy believes, is that it makes it possible to establish the same level of salaries for equivalent work, and also simplifies the work of payroll specialists: instead of 266 tables, which are now used to determine wage categories for positions of employees and working professions, next year only one will apply.

The question arises: does this kind of simplification threaten with leveling?

- The new payroll system for state employees at the same time expands the ability of the heads of state bodies and budgetary organizations to establish sectoral terms of payment,- Zhanna Stativko explains. - They are given the right to independently determine the amount of incentive and compensatory payments, depending on the industry specifics and characteristics of work. Now the sources of payments are somewhat limited by law. The new system allows "to independently set wages depending on the results of work and the availability of funds ... from all sources."

The new payment system retains seniority bonuses in budgetary organizations. An innovation proposed by Decree No. 27 is a recovery payment in the amount of half the salary for all public sector employees. It should be recalled that from January 1, 2020, the salary will be formed from the base rate and the tariff coefficient.

Previously, the tariff scale included 27 categories, now it is only 18. The number of tariff coefficients has also been reduced - previously it was from 1 to 7.84, it has become from 1 to 3.

Will state employees lose money after the introduction of new wage conditions? Answer: no. The document clearly states that the reduction of accrued wages is not allowed.

- The current legal and regulatory framework, which regulated payroll and which has been used for 18 years, was very cumbersome, - sums up Zhanna Stativko. - It included 35 decrees of the President, 79 resolutions of the Government and 271 resolutions of the Ministry of Labor. It was very difficult to use such a large number of documents. As a result of the revision, their number will be reduced to 19, 35 and 7, respectively. Therefore, the adoption of Decree No. 27 of the President can be called a serious optimization of the wage system.

IMPORTANT

The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection reported that the change in the system of remuneration of employees of budgetary organizations will be carried out within the allocated funds for these purposes, while maintaining the current level of wages of a particular employee. In accordance with the norms of Decree No. 27, it is not allowed to reduce the amount of accrued wages of employees of budgetary organizations (without bonuses) that were in force at the time the new wage conditions were introduced.

NUMBER

860,000 state employees work in the country today.

The usual tariff rate of the first category will be replaced by a base rate of 180 rubles, and there will be much fewer tariff categories - 18 instead of the current 27. The salary of public sector employees (which include teachers) from next year will consist of a salary, the amount of which will depend on the tariff category, as well as from incentive (bonuses for the specifics of work in the field of education and the specifics of work) and compensatory payments (surcharge for the complexity of the work performed).

The Decree of the Ministry of Education "On some issues of remuneration of workers in the field of education" establishes tariff categories for the positions of pedagogical workers, a list of incentive and compensatory payments to teachers and employees employed in education. A list of incentive and compensatory payments has also been compiled. Their size and payment procedure is determined by the relevant instructions.

Incentive payments will be given to young professionals, as well as for the nature of work, the characteristics of professional activity, high achievements, work in rural areas, the complexity and intensity of work. Their size will depend on the qualification category. For example, for teachers from among specialists (with the exception of faculty, foster parents, parent-educators) who do not have a qualification category, the allowance will be:

not having a qualification category - 25% of the salary,
having the second qualification category - 35% of the salary,
having the first qualification category - 45%,
having the highest qualification category - 60%.

Teachers, teachers (with the exception of those related to the teaching staff), teachers of additional education, educators of preschool education:

not having a qualification category - 30%;
having the second qualification category - 40%;
having the first qualification category - 50%;
having the highest qualification category - 65%;
having the qualification category "teacher-methodologist" - 80%.

Allowances for the specifics of work will be charged to those who conduct classes in a foreign language, as well as to teachers of boarding schools for disabled children with special needs of psychophysical development, orphanages, educational colonies.

Parents-educators of family-type orphanages, children's villages (towns), foster parents will be paid extra for the complexity of the work, depending on the number of children taken for upbringing. For example, a parent-caregiver will be charged 100% of the base rate if he is raising 5 children, and 200% if he is raising 10 or more. The foster parent will be paid 10% of the base rate for one child, 50% for three children.

The Ministry of Education noted that with the introduction of a new wage system, a reduction in wages (excluding bonuses) for employees of budgetary organizations operating before the entry into force of Decree No. 71 is not allowed. According to representatives of the department, this document will significantly reduce the number of regulatory legal acts regulating the remuneration of state employees, and differentiate the remuneration of employees depending on the results of their work with the help of incentive payments.
