Most of the "children's" payments are established by the law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ "On state benefits to citizens with children."

One-time allowance for registration in early pregnancy

This allowance (no later than 12 weeks of pregnancy) is established by Art. 9 of Law No. 81-FZ. Initially, its amount was 300 rubles, then the amount of the allowance was regularly increased.

The latest indexation (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 26, 2018 No. 74) increased the payment amount from February 1, 2018 to RUB 628.47 In this case, we are talking about a fixed amount, the amount of which is reviewed by the decision of state bodies. This type of benefit is not tied to the minimum wage in any way and from 05/01/2018 its amount will not change.

One-time allowance at the birth of a child

This allowance is established similarly to the previous payment. The basic allowance is 8,000 rubles. (Article 12 of Law No. 81-FZ). Taking into account all indexations from February 1, 2018, the amount of payment amounted to RUB 16,759.09 The allowance at the birth of a child, like the previous one, is not tied to the minimum wage and will not change from 05/01/2018.

Maternity allowance

Maternity allowance is also paid at a time, but the calculation depends on wages women and duration of payment. This duration (maternity leave) is established by Art. 10 of the law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ "On compulsory insurance…” and depends on the number of children and the course of pregnancy. The length of maternity leave can be from 140 to 194 days.

Payment for each day is determined as 100% of the average earnings for the previous two years. For maternity payments, the law establishes restrictions, both at the maximum and at the minimum.

The limit "from above" depends on the limit base for calculating the FSS established for the previous two years. To receive the maximum amount of allowance per day, this base must be divided by 730 (part 3.3 of article 14 of law No. 255-FZ). For 2018, the daily payout limit will be:

(718,000 rubles + 755,000 rubles) / 730 days = 2,017.81 rubles

So the maximum size maternity allowance in the "standard" situation (for 140 days) will be equal to

140 days x 2017.81 RUB = 282 493, 15 rub.

Benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years

The allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years is calculated in many ways similar to maternity payments. But if during maternity leave 100% of the average salary is paid, then in the period up to 1.5 years - only 40% (Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ).

The maximum amount of the benefit is also tied to the marginal base for contributions to the FSS, i.e. for 2018 - to the amount of 2017.81 rubles. on the day calculated above.

(2,017.81 rubles x 30.4 days) x 40% = RUB 24,536.57

Minimum size benefits depend on how you receive them. If the recipient is a working person, then the employer pays the allowance and its amount is tied to the minimum wage, more precisely, to 40% of it. The allowance for the first child per month in this case will be

If the recipient of the benefit is unemployed or an individual entrepreneur, then it is paid directly by the FSS of the Russian Federation. In this case, the basic amount of the allowance established by law, paragraph 1, article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ, is used. Taking into account all indexations, the allowance for the first child from 02/01/2018 is RUB 3,142.33. After 05/01/2018, the basic amount of the benefit will not change.

When paying the allowance for the care of the second and subsequent children, in all cases, only the base amount is used, which after 01.02.2018 is RUB 6284.65 The minimum wage limit is no longer used here, because. doubling the allowance in any case will lead to an excess of the minimum wage.

Benefit for caring for a child up to three years

The amount of this allowance today is symbolic. It was set at 50 rubles per month more than 20 years ago (Presidential Decree No. 110 of 05/30/1994) and has not been indexed since then. Currently, the government is discussing the issue of raising it, but there is no concrete information yet.

Temporary Disability Benefit

The amount of the “sickness benefit” depends on the length of service of the employee and can range from 60% to 100% of average earnings (Article 7 of Law No. 255-FZ). The employee's income is taken into account for the previous two years, similarly to the accrual of maternity payments or childcare benefits.

Also, similarly to maternity payments, the maximum and minimum amount of sick pay per day is determined.

Maximum - based on the FSS base limit for the previous 2 years. It is valid throughout 2018 and does not depend on the minimum wage:

(718,000 rubles + 755,000 rubles) / 730 days = RUB 2,017.81

Minimum - based on the minimum wage in force at the time of the opening of the sick leave:

Please note that sick leave average earnings must be calculated according to the minimum wage if:

• in the billing period, the employee had no earnings;
• average earnings are less than 24 times the minimum wage. For sick leave open until May 1, this is 227,736 rubles, from May 1 - 267,912 rubles.

In such cases, the average earnings per day of illness is 311 rub. 97 kop.(if the sick leave was opened in April) or 367 rub.(if in May).

• experience - less than six months, average earnings - more than 24 times the minimum wage;
• disability was due to intoxication (on the sick leave in the cell “Additional code” is “021”);
• on the sick leave there is a mark about the violation of the regime and the reason for the violation is disrespectful. The amount of the benefit is limited for days from the date of marking.

In these situations, the maximum daily allowance is:

• 316 rub. 30 kop. (9,489 rubles / 30 days) - for the day of illness in April;
• 360 rub. 10 kop. (11,163 rubles / 31 days) - for the day of illness in May.

Who is eligible for unemployment benefits?

Unemployment benefits are paid only to those people who have registered with the employment service and have been recognized as unemployed. However, it is important to understand that unemployment benefits are not paid for the entire period of unemployment. The payment period and its amount varies depending on the period during which you receive it.

So, each period of your unemployment benefit cannot be more than 12 months (in total, they can go inconsistently one after another) within 18 calendar months.

Minimum and maximum unemployment benefits, calculation of benefits

The payment of unemployment benefits is regulated by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Employment in the Russian Federation". The minimum and maximum unemployment benefits are set annually by the Government of the Russian Federation. The last time unemployment benefits were raised was in 2009., and now, 10 years later, since 2019, it was nevertheless decided to raise it almost twice.

According to the Decree ON THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUES OF UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT, it is set for 2020 the minimum amount of unemployment benefit in the amount of 1500 rubles (was until 2019 - 850 rubles) And the maximum amount of unemployment benefit in the amount of 8,000 rubles (it was 4,900 rubles before 2019).

Most likely, our online unemployment benefit calculator will help you calculate the amount of unemployment benefits. (opens in a new window)

Minimum the amount of unemployment benefits is provided for citizens who are looking for work for the first time, or after a year's break, or dismissed for violation of labor discipline.

The amount of unemployment benefit in case of dismissal

There are general and special cases of payment of unemployment benefits - their size varies. It all depends on whether you worked before, for what reason your employment contract was terminated and how long you worked.

Typical case:
The employee is dismissed for any reason, except for special cases stipulated by law. Suppose that in the period 12 months before the dismissal, the person had a paid job for at least 26 calendar weeks. If this citizen applies to the employment service for the appointment of unemployment benefits, then the amount of his benefits will be calculated as follows.

In the first annual benefit cycle.
For the first three months, the allowance must be paid in the amount of 75% of the average monthly earnings of the unemployed person (we are talking about the average earnings for the last three months at the last place of work); in the next four months, the allowance should be paid in the amount of 60% of the average monthly earnings of the unemployed, and then - in the amount of 45%. In any case, the benefit will be paid in an amount not more than the maximum and not less than the minimum amount of unemployment benefits, increased by the size of the district coefficient.

in the second annual cycle.
The allowance is paid in the amount of the minimum unemployment benefit, increased by the regional coefficient.
Keep in mind that only the official part of the salary can be used to calculate the amount of unemployment benefits, i.e. "white" salary.

Special cases for determining unemployment benefits:

If a citizen:

• looking for a job for the first time (has not worked before);
• wants to work after a long break (more than 1 year);
• was fired for violating labor discipline;
• was fired from a job during the 12 months prior to unemployment and had less than 26 weeks of paid employment during that time;
• was sent by the employment service for training and expelled from there for guilty actions.

The amount of unemployment benefit in these cases will be:

In the first semi-annual cycle of the benefit period:
the minimum amount of unemployment benefits, increased by the district coefficient.
In the second semi-annual benefit cycle:
the minimum unemployment benefit, increased by the size of the district coefficient.

Registration at the employment service, required documents

If you have not worked anywhere yet (you are looking for a job for the first time), it is enough to present a passport and a document on education.

If you have previously worked, you must provide the following documents to register.

1. Citizen's passport Russian Federation or a document that replaces it.
2. Application - a questionnaire on the provision of state services of assistance in finding a suitable job. Download: application form
3. Employment book or a document replacing it.
4. Documents certifying professional qualifications.
5. Certificate of average earnings for the last three months at the last place of work (for the first 3 months, the payment of benefits is 75% of the average earnings of a citizen, but not more than 8,000 rubles, therefore, for the maximum amount of benefits, the average monthly income must be at least 10,700 rubles.)
6. An individual program for the rehabilitation of a disabled person, issued in accordance with the established procedure (for citizens with disabilities).

Be careful when obtaining a certificate of average earnings!

1. We take income statement form in the center of employment of the population (labor exchange).
2. Together with him we grab, just in case, "A reminder to the accountant on the correct filling information about average earnings".
3. We take all this to the accounting department of the last place of work.

As soon as you fill it out, do not be too lazy to check:

• Have all the seals been placed?
• The name of the organization must spell out everything in full, including the abbreviations LLC, OJSC, etc.
• If the position of the chief accountant of the company is performed by another person, for example, the general director, it is necessary that the number of the order by which he replaces this position is indicated in the certificate.
• Check hiring and firing dates.
• See if the number of working days of your working week is correctly indicated, i.e. whether full employment or not.

If the certificate is not filled out properly, you will have to travel several times and waste your time.

Employment centers provide assistance in the selection of suitable work and employment of citizens on the day of application without an appointment. These services are regulated by the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated 03.07.2006 No. No. 513 "On approval of the Administrative Regulations of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment of the Population on the provision of public services to assist citizens in finding suitable jobs, and employers in the selection of necessary workers"

Termination of benefits

Terminate, suspend payment, reduce the amount of unemployment benefits may be the employment service, which is obliged to notify you of this. .

Content

Statistics say that 63% of Russian citizens are unemployed or receive a “black” salary, and only 16% of them are officially recognized as unemployed. 54% of the number of people registered with the employment service are women aged 31 to 50 years. In order to reduce tension in the labor market, the government decided to provide unemployed citizens with unemployment benefits in 2018, the maximum amount of which will be 4,900 rubles.

What is unemployment benefit

Citizens who are unable to get a job and are registered with an employment center may apply for financial assistance. Unemployment benefits in 2018 will not be indexed. It decreases after a certain period of time. The size of the unemployment subsidy is affected by the size of the regional rate and the length of service of the specialist.

Representatives of some departments believe that individuals discredit this type of social payments as a phenomenon, because. try to get it as soon as possible. Officials insist on the introduction of a full-fledged retraining system based on employment centers, which would reduce the cost of retraining specialists.

Status of the unemployed and the conditions for obtaining it

Unemployed recognize able-bodied citizens who do not have a permanent income or work. They must first register with the employment service in order to find a suitable vacancy and demonstrate their readiness to start a suitable job. Employees of employment centers sometimes reject requests for financial assistance from people with disabilities, because. confuse the concept of ability to work and ability to work. If a person is able to fulfill his official duties, then he can, regardless of the state of his health.

Legal regulation

According to Article 34 of the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991 “On Employment of the Population”, all citizens officially recognized as unemployed can receive unemployment benefits in 2018. An individual can apply for a job that will suit him in terms of qualifications, working conditions, health status, transport accessibility. For example, if a citizen received 15,000 rubles at a previous job, then an employee of the labor exchange must select vacancies for him with a salary of at least 9,500 rubles.

Unemployed residents who have lost the right to receive a subsidy may apply for material assistance. You can get it upon retraining in the direction of the employment service or after 36 months from the date of registration of the status of unemployed. Under the law, individuals under the age of 30 can take advantage of retraining benefits. These include compensation for public transport costs, medical expenses (provided with a certificate from the hospital).

Who is eligible to receive

Any citizen of Russia who has reached the age of 16 without permanent or temporary income can register with the labor exchange and register as unemployed. Girls on maternity leave cannot use this right, because. they belong to the temporarily disabled population. A woman will be able to receive the status of unemployed after the child reaches 1.5 years. Unemployment benefits are not paid to the following categories of residents:

• under the age of 16;
• full-time students;
• pensioners;
• individuals with the status individual entrepreneur;
• disabled people classified as incapacitated groups;
• individuals who decide to apply at the place of temporary registration;
• convicted by court decision to corrective labor;
• persons who provided false information about their recognition as unemployed.

Labor exchange payments

The allowance is credited to the account of a citizen on a monthly basis from the moment he received the status of unemployed. Persons who have lost their jobs due to the liquidation of the company, the termination of the activities of the individual entrepreneur or due to the reduction of the staff, cannot use this privilege. According to Article No. 178 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Labor Code of the Russian Federation), such citizens retain an average salary for a job search period of 2 months, and then they will be able to receive a subsidy, like other unemployed people.

Every 14 days, the specialist will receive requests for re-registration. You should respond quickly when you receive them, because. if individual does not regularly confirm his status, the provision of material assistance is terminated. To resume payments, an unemployed worker will have to fill out an application again and collect the entire package of documents.

Over what period are they paid?

Financial assistance for unemployment begins to accrue from the first day the specialist is recognized as unemployed. The procedure for paying unemployment benefits in 2018 will not undergo any major changes. In case of early retirement, the unemployed person loses the subsidy. A specialist will not be able to become a member of the state program to combat unemployment if he works part-time or has a temporary part-time job.

The subsidy is paid for 2 years. After 7-12 months comes a six-month break. If the specialist has not found a job after this time, he must contact his supervisor from the employment center. After the official appeal, payments will be resumed for 7-8 months, and then again there will be a six-month break. After that, the subsidy will be transferred to the account of an individual for 4-5 months.

How much pay

When calculating the amount of unemployment benefit, three months of earnings at the last place of work are taken into account. In total, before dismissal, an individual is required to work for at least 26 weeks. If a citizen worked part-time, then first the employees of the center recalculate working hours. If the total amount is less than 1040 hours, the specialist is assigned a minimum allowance equal to 850 rubles. The exception is orphans. For the first 6 months they are paid an allowance equal to the level of the average regional salary.

Minimum and maximum size

The amount of payments is determined by the position and length of service of the employee. The maximum unemployment benefit is 4900 rubles, which is 2 times lower than the subsistence minimum. For 3 years, the government has been considering applications to increase the amount of this subsidy, but additional funds from the state budget have not yet been allocated to achieve this goal. The minimum subsidy is 850 rubles. It is installed:

• first-time job seekers and university graduates;
• those who want to find a job after a long break;
• persons who have worked less than 26 weeks in a year;
• specialists who were dismissed by the decision of the trade union for violating labor discipline.

An orphan child is eligible for increased unemployment benefits in 2018. It is equal to the size of the average monthly salary established in the region where the citizen lives. Relevant changes were made to Federal Law No. 89 and come into force on May 1, 2018. Financial support will be provided to the orphan continuously for 6 months. If during this time the specialist does not find a job, then the amount of the allowance is automatically reduced to 850 rubles. The amount of unemployment benefits for the disabled is calculated, as for ordinary specialists.

Payout amount

The amount of unemployment benefits in 2018 directly depends on the salary of a citizen at the previous place of work. At the federal level, its value cannot exceed 4900 r, but in some regions of the country there are regional coefficients. In these regions, unemployment benefits will be higher than those established by law. The subsidy in 2018 will continue to accrue as a percentage of wages if the following conditions have been met:

1. a citizen has worked for at least 26 weeks under an employment contract;
2. less than 1 year has passed since the dismissal;
3. the reason for the loss of work is not the unlawful actions of a citizen (appropriation of property, violation of labor discipline, etc.).

Average earnings are calculated on the basis of information for 3 months provided by the citizen. The resulting amount is multiplied by the regional coefficient. For example, in Buryatia it is 1.3. If the subsidy is equal to 900 rubles, then when multiplied it will increase to 1170 rubles. It happens that the amount of material assistance, according to the calculations of the employees of the employment center, turned out to be 10,000 rubles. An unemployed specialist will not be able to receive a payment of this amount, because. by law, the maximum amount of the subsidy is 4900 r.

The procedure for determining the average daily earnings

Features of the calculation of benefits are described in the decree of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of 12.08.2003. When determining the average daily earnings, both the basic salary and other types of payments from the employer are taken into account. Remuneration based on the results of one calendar year is calculated not taking into account the full amount, but in the amount of 1/12 for each month of work. When calculating the average salary, they take information for the 90 days preceding the dismissal. When calculating benefits, in addition to salary, take into account:

• bonuses for long service and other labor achievements;
• additional income received due to overtime work;
• bonuses and fees;
• salary in kind.

Subsidies for previously employed persons in the first year

One of the prerequisites for increasing the size of the subsidy is the existence of continuous work experience for a specialist for 12 months until the moment of dismissal. The payment of unemployment benefits in 2018 will not change on this item. The first 3 months the specialist will receive 75% of the average monthly income, and the next 4 months - 60%. After this time period, there is often a six-month break in payments, and then for 5 months the specialist is credited with 45% of his salary.

Grants for the second year

In the second 12-month period, the citizen receives the minimum subsidy multiplied by the district coefficient. For example, in Moscow this figure is 1.7, and the amount of monthly material assistance will be 2890 rubles. At the end of the second year, the citizen will be deprived of the subsidy provided. The total period for granting material assistance may not exceed 24 months, considering 36 calendar months.

Conditions for Moscow

The amount of payments is determined by the average earnings of a citizen for 3 months. In Moscow, unemployment benefits will be increased in 2018, because the regional coefficient here is the highest among all Russian cities. A similar indicator when calculating payments is used by the authorities of St. Petersburg. Moscow unemployed will be able to use transport benefits. They will additionally be paid 1190 rubles. Maximum size social benefit will be 6940 r, and the minimum - 2890 r.

After applying to the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population, a citizen will receive the status of an unemployed person on the 11th day from the date of submission of all documents. For the first 10 days, together with the employees of the employment center, he studies the list of current vacancies. With an unpopular specialty, retraining will be offered to an individual. If in 10 days the search for a place of study or work is not successful, then the citizen is assigned the status of an unemployed person and benefits begin to accrue.

When payments stop

After official employment, a citizen ceases to receive unemployment benefits. Upon registration of the fact of the death of an individual, the payment of material assistance is terminated. If a citizen has not come to the employment center for more than 1 month, then the state will stop transferring money. The Employment Center may refuse to provide unemployment benefits if:

• a citizen is serving a criminal sentence;
• an individual was sentenced to corrective labor;
• when a citizen undergoes formal vocational training or additional education with the payment of a regular cash allowance;
• when an individual provides false information about himself;
• refusal of a citizen from the assistance of state bodies in finding a job.

In what cases are payments temporarily suspended while maintaining the status

When a citizen leaves his place of residence in connection with retraining or advanced training in vocational education institutions, money will not be credited to his account. During conscription and compulsory military service, individuals are not provided with benefits, because. the maintenance of military personnel is paid by the state. The restriction applies to maternity leave. For a period of up to 3 months, payments are suspended if:

• the citizen refused 2 suitable job options during his stay at the labor exchange;
• the individual has refused to be reprofiled or to participate in public works;
• the unemployed person was dismissed from the last place of work for violation of labor discipline and other actions indicated by Article 35 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation;
• the citizen was expelled from the place of retraining;
• an individual arbitrarily left the training in the direction from the employment center.

How to issue

The first step of any person who decides to obtain the official status of unemployed will be to contact the employment center at the place of his registration. An authorized employee of the department will give the unemployed an application form and a list of documents that must be submitted to receive financial assistance. After receiving all the certificates, an individual can re-apply to an employee of the employment center.

An employee of the department will record the fact of submission of documents, and then offer the citizen several options for work. When looking for vacancies, an employee of the labor exchange should focus on the education, qualifications and work experience of a person. For example, if an engineer is offered a job as a cook, he has the right to refuse such an offer. Often employees are sent for retraining, and then they are looking for suitable vacancies. If all of the above measures did not help with finding a job, then the specialist is assigned the status of unemployed.

Where to go

There are employment centers in every region of Russia. A citizen who wants to officially become unemployed must come there. A specialist working with the unemployed population will give an individual a list of documents that will need to be collected in order to receive benefits. You can become a member of the state program only at the place of permanent registration. If a specialist is registered in Khabarovsk, but is temporarily registered in Moscow, then he must return to his hometown and look for work there.

What documents are required

Registration of the status of the unemployed takes 11 days. An individual who is recognized as unemployed can receive unemployment benefits in 2018. The unemployed can spend money on utility bills or their own food. The decision to register a person as unemployed and to pay monetary compensation is made on the basis of the following documents:

• passports;
• completed application;
• work book or a document that replaces it;
• a diploma of education and other documents confirming the qualifications of a potential employee;
• certificate of average earnings for 3 months from the last place of work;
• SNILS (insurance number of an individual personal account);
• TIN (individual taxpayer number);
• bank account number for money transfer.

Unemployment benefit in 2018: procedure and amount of payment

Changed from January 1, 2018 billing period And average daily earnings to calculate disability benefits. The maximum and minimum amount of sick leave payments have changed.

Calculation of sick leave in 2018

In 2018, the billing period for benefits includes 2016 and 2017.

For 2016, payments within the limits of 718,000 rubles can be taken into account, for 2017 - within
RUB 755,000

Let's calculate the maximum average daily earnings for calculating sick leave in 2018:

The maximum average daily earnings for sick leave calculation in 2018 is: 2017.81 rubles.

From January 1, 2018, the minimum wage is 9489 rubles. The average monthly earnings should be compared with 9489 rubles.

In 2017, the minimum wage was 7800 rubles. Since the minimum wage has been increased, the minimum sick leave benefit in 2018 has become larger.

Let's calculate the average daily earnings:

The maximum average daily earnings for 2018 is: 311.97 rubles.

Reference data for calculating sick leave in 2018. Table.

How to calculate sick leave in 2018

After returning to work after illness, the employee presents a sick leave. The organization is obliged to assign him an allowance within 10 calendar days from the date of application and pay - on the next day set for the payment of wages. According to Article 15 of Law No. 255-FZ.

The benefit is accrued and paid if the employee applies for it no later than six months from the date of entry to work. According to Article 12 of Law No. 255-FZ.

You need to pay the entire period of disability of the employee, including days off and non-working holidays.

In case of illness or domestic injury, the benefit for the first three days of disability is paid to the employee at the expense of the company, and from the fourth day - at the expense of the FSS of the Russian Federation (clause 2, article 3 federal law dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ).

General procedure for calculating sick leave in 2018

To calculate the sick leave, the number of days in a year is always 730. It doesn't matter if we count in a leap year or not. Only for calculating maternity benefits, the number of days may be different.

Calculate the marginal base for the calculation of contributions. For calculation, we take the base values ​​​​for 2016 and 2017: this is 718,000 rubles. and 755,000 rubles. respectively. In total, this will be:
RUB 1,473,000

Example 3. Calculation of sick leave 2018 from the minimum wage

A new employee has joined the company. Due to the difficult economic situation in his region, he could not find a job for a long time and did not work in 2016 and 2017. After working for about a month, he fell ill. Brought a week later sick leave for 5 calendar days.

Since in the billing period (2016-2017) the employee did not receive wages, the accounting department must calculate sick leave benefits based on the minimum wage.

First, we determine the average earnings: 9489 rubles. × 24 months : 730 days = 311.97 rubles

The employee's work experience is 4 years 3 months, so his allowance will be 60% (up to 5 years) of the average earnings.

The calculation of the benefit looks like this: 311.97 × 5 × 60% = 936.91 rubles.

A similar situation in which there is no earnings in the billing period will be for employees who have returned from maternity leave. If there was no income, you need to calculate sick leave from the minimum wage, taking into account the length of service.

Example 4. Calculation of sick leave 2018 from the minimum wage with experience
less than 6 months

If the employee's insurance period is less than 6 months, the sick leave allowance cannot exceed the minimum wage for a full calendar month, in accordance with Part 6 of Article 7 of Law No. 255-FZ.

In this case, to calculate the sick leave, you need to calculate and compare: the daily allowance calculated from the employee's earnings and the maximum daily allowance for a particular month, calculated from the minimum wage.

For example, let's calculate the maximum daily allowance for March and February 2018. March has 31 days, February has 28 days.

The maximum daily allowance in February 2018 will be: 9489 rubles. : 28 days = 338.89 rubles.

The maximum daily allowance in March 2018 will be: 9489 rubles. : 31 days =
RUB 306.1

Example 5. Calculation of sick leave if the experience is less than 6 months

On March 20, 2018, he brought a sick leave for the period of illness from March 12 to 18 (7 calendar days).

Earnings for the billing period 2016 - 2017 we do not consider. If an employee has less than 6 months of service, the sick leave benefit cannot be more than the minimum wage for a full calendar month and should be 60% of average earnings.

Therefore, for further calculation of the allowance, we must take the amount of 311.97 rubles. and multiply it by 60%. We get: 311.97 rubles. × 60% = 187.18 rubles.

We calculate the sick leave allowance from the daily allowance calculated from the minimum wage.
The sickness benefit is equal to: 187.18 rubles. × 7 days = 1310.26 rubles.

Just in case. For our own peace of mind, we will verify the amount of accrual for March and the minimum wage. The amount received is 187.18 × 31 = 5802.58 rubles. This amount is less than the minimum wage.

We pay an allowance in the amount of 1310.26 rubles.

Sick pay for part-time work

Part-time work is not uncommon these days. Many enterprises, due to falling revenues, shortages Money, as well as in order to save money, they introduced part-time work. According to a survey conducted on our site in mid-2017, approximately 30% of participants said that they would like to keep staff and introduced part-time work.

If your company has a part-time work regime, sick leave benefits in 2018 should be calculated according to general rules, taking into account several features.

First, it does not matter how many days and / or hours employees work during the week, if the allowance is calculated from actual earnings.

Secondly, to determine the average daily earnings, you need to divide the earnings for the billing period by 730. The figure 730 does not change.

At the same time, the average salary of an employee cannot be less than the minimum wage. If, according to your calculations, you get a figure less than the minimum wage, you still need to take the minimum wage to calculate the sick leave. Then, reduce the average daily wage calculated from the minimum wage in proportion to the length of the working time of such an employee.

This rule can be applied if the part-time work regime was established no later than the day of illness. Retroactively, when an employee is on sick leave, a part-time job cannot be established.

Example 6. Calculation of sick leave if the company has a part-time job

Secretary of the director Marinina I.P. works 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.

She was ill in January. After returning to work, she brought a sick leave sheet for 5 calendar days to the accounting department.

Her earnings in the billing period were:

In 2016 - 50,000 rubles,

In 2017 - 65,000 rubles.

A little more than 5 years of insurance experience.

The average daily earnings from actual payments will be:

(50,000 rubles +65,000 rubles) : 730 days = 157.53 rubles.

Compare with the average daily earnings calculated from the minimum wage - 311.97 rubles. The amount calculated by us is 157.53 rubles. less than the amount calculated from the minimum wage.

We adjust the average daily earnings for the part-time coefficient:

311.97: 8 hours × 4 hours = 155.98 rubles.

Let's calculate the allowance taking into account the experience:

RUB 155.98 × 80% × 5 days = 623.92 rubles.

From February 1, 2019, child benefits are increased, which are paid to one of the parents until the child reaches the age of 1.5 years in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Law of May 19, 1995 N 81-FZ. The government of the Russian Federation will index as the minimum amount allowances, and the maximum.

Let us tell you in more detail how many rubles is the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 in Russia - the changes affected both the maximum and minimum payments.

Who is eligible to receive benefits?

The relative of the child who actually takes care of him from birth to the age of 1.5 years can apply for the allowance. Most of the time it's the mother. But the father of the baby or another relative, guardian can also go on parental leave. This person has the right to count on receiving assistance from the state in the form of benefits. Only this right needs to be confirmed. When a child care allowance up to 1.5 years old is issued at the place of work by one of the parents, he submits a certificate stating that the second does not receive such payments from his employer. If, for example, a grandmother goes on parental leave with a "child" allowance, then certificates must be provided from both parents.

The allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 (an online calculator will allow you to make calculations quickly and independently) as a general rule is 40% of average earnings. There are restrictions on the amount of benefits, both in relation to the upper limit and the lower limit.

Minimum wage

The minimum amount of the allowance for caring for a child up to 1.5 years in 2019 is provided to non-working mothers / fathers or in cases where the length of service is less than 6 months.

For 2018, the coefficient was established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 74 dated January 26, 2018 (its size is 1.025). Therefore, until February 1, 2019, the allowance for the first child, which was in effect earlier - 3,142.33 rubles, continues to be applied.

According to the draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, child benefits in 2019 will be indexed from February 1 and will increase by a factor of 1.043. The project is called "On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensations in 2019", ID 01/01/12-18/00086773, developed by the Ministry of Labor, date of creation - 12/11/2018.

• RUB 3,277.45- this is exactly the amount of the unemployment allowance that relies on the first child this year.

Another situation is when the recipient of the benefit is employed, but had no income during the billing period or his salary did not reach the current minimum wage for a full calendar month. Recall that the minimum wage from January 1, 2019 is 11,280 rubles. Such persons for the first child will receive monthly for the first child from the beginning of the year 4,512 rubles.

At the same time, the amount of the allowance for the second and subsequent children is:

• RUB 6,284.65 - until 31.01.2019;
• RUB 6,554.9 - from February 1, 2019 (taking into account the expected indexation).

Maximum speed

The maximum amount of child care allowance up to 1.5 years in 2019 is paid to a working citizen if his salary exceeds the upper limit. Earnings accrued for 2 years preceding the one in which the baby is born are taken into account. When there are periods in which there was no earnings, the amount of the minimum wage is taken.

Formula: (sum of salary for 1 year + sum of salary for 2 years) / 730 (number of days in 2 years) x 30.4 (average length of month) x 40%

The amount that is taken into account for the year should not exceed the established limit:

• in 2018 - 815 thousand rubles;
• in 2017 - 755 thousand rubles;
• in 2016 - 718 thousand rubles.

It turns out that the maximum average daily wage, which is used to calculate the amount of benefits, in 2019 is RUB 2,150.68

Taking into account last indexing The maximum benefit amount will be RUB 26,152.27(2150.68 rubles x 30.4 days x 40%). For last year, the value of 24,536.57 rubles was relevant.

• contract mothers;
• mothers and fathers serving in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Tax Inspectorate, the penitentiary system, at customs, who went on parental leave;
• mothers fired during pregnancy due to the liquidation or closure of legal entities or individual entrepreneurs.

Accordingly, with the application of the new coefficient of 1.043, this amount will increase to RUB 13,109.81

Where and how to apply for benefits?

When both parents are officially employed, there are no problems: registration goes through the employer's personnel department. Let's say mom writes an application according to a standard model, dad provides a certificate from work that he did not receive and did not request these funds. Also from the documents you must provide birth certificates of children. The money is not paid by the employer itself: they are provided by the Fund social insurance from contributions deducted from earnings.

Things get more complicated when the other parent is not working. Then he receives a certificate of no payments from the FSS. If the employer (to whom you planned to apply for benefits) ceased to exist, you will also have to apply to the FSS.

When both parents are unemployed, the allowance pays social security in the minimum amount.

What has changed regarding “child” benefits in 2019?

Anyone who is counting on a childcare allowance for a child up to 1.5 years old in 2019 (changes often occur in Russia) should follow the regulations on this topic. It is better to study the calculation methods, you can use calculators on special sites.

The fact is that child benefits are indexed by a coefficient calculated according to the inflation rate of the previous year. According to Law No. 81-FZ, this happens in February current year, but resolutions usually come out earlier - in January, and come into force in February. An example is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 74 dated 01/26/2018, relevant for last year, mentioned above.

From February 1, the current amount of benefits will increase by 4.3% in accordance with the draft resolution No. ID 01/01/12-18/00086773.

It is important to bear in mind that if regional multiplication factors are used in the area, then they are used in the calculation after the indexation of the amount of the allowance. This happens on the basis of Art. 5 Federal Law No. 81.

Important changes last year affected additional child benefits up to 1.5 years. They are not provided to everyone, but only to those families where the average per capita income per month does not exceed 1.5 of the regional minimum wage (established for the 2nd quarter of last year for the able-bodied population). The allowance is paid in the amount equal to the “child” living wage established for the 2nd quarter of the previous year. If the family meets the condition, then funds are provided for the first, for the second child (from the mother's capital), for subsequent ones, and until the baby is 1.5 years old.
