The state Duma adopted in the first reading the draft law of the Ministry of labor, which involves linking the salaries of managers to the salaries of subordinates in all state institutions, the state and municipal unitary enterprises, as well as extra-budgetary funds and funds of compulsory medical insurance. This is evidenced by the document on the website of the Automated system of ensuring legislative activity.

Now the ratio of salaries of managers, their deputies and chief accountants with the salaries of other employees shall be established only in the Federal state institutions and unitary enterprises (such as hospitals or universities). The proposed amendments will extend this provision to all off-budget funds, territorial funds, and the State unitary enterprises and municipal unitary enterprises.

It is assumed that the ultimate level of the ratio of wages in such institutions will establish public authorities or organization that performs the functions of the founder.

Information about the average salary, according to the bill, should be posted on the official websites of companies or on the sites of their founders. Labor Minister Maxim Topilin said that the Ministry is awaiting the law already in the middle of the year.

The bill was developed in pursuance of the instructions of President Vladimir Putin on the results of direct line in April 2014, wrote RBC. Then the President complained of low salaries of nurses.

According to the head of the Duma Committee on labor, social policy and veterans Affairs Olga batalina, the proposed measure is aimed at reducing differentiation in pay, writes “RIA Novosti”. Officials expect that the law will allow to avoid situations when the salary of heads of organizations is significantly higher than the wages of other employees.
