The Verkhovna Rada wants to limit the salaries of civil servants: at what level

The Verkhovna Rada proposed to significantly limit the maximum earnings of civil servants, heads of state-owned companies, and local government officials during martial law. The initiative provides for a single limit - no more than 10 minimum wages per month, except for legally defined allowances. This is reported by 7eminar.

A draft law No. 14247 has been registered in parliament that changes the laws on labor payment and public service.

Salary Restrictions for Civil Servants

The document establishes temporary limits for all categories of state sector employees. According to the new rules, the maximum monthly salary of officials, including heads of state-owned companies and members of supervisory boards, should not exceed ten minimum wages.

• Civil servants, employees of state banks, and enterprises with state participation are subject to the restrictions.

• Sick leaves, vacation pays, and legally prescribed bonuses are not included in the limit.

• Bonuses may only be accrued in case of the company's profitability - their size cannot exceed 20% of the total taxes paid by the enterprise.

• For savings in the payroll fund, the remaining amounts must be returned to the state budget, not used for bonuses.

What Changes Will Affect the Budget Sphere

The draft law also limits the salaries of judges, members of parliament, prosecutors, officials of the National Bank, and other employees under special payment conditions. All payments, including bonuses, must fit within the limit of 10 minimum wages per month. The norm will be in effect throughout the period of martial law and until the end of the year following its conclusion.

It is worth reminding that earlier Hetmancev proposed to reduce the salaries of civil servants to 80,000 hryvnias.
