Elena, I work officially, 100% white salary and far from 1500, and leave 24 k.d. paid, and sick leave and even vouchers from social security for 20% of the cost. And there are more than 27 thousand people like me in our network in Ukraine alone. The situations you describe take place for one simple reason: people agree to work on such conditions, and that's it! Yes, their motives can be different - from non-competitiveness in the labor market (but who is to blame in this case) to "there is nothing to feed their families" (here, again, everything depends on competitiveness, whatever one may say).
By the way, you, Elena, work in a personnel agency? What is your position when the owners of sharashka offices come to you and say - find us people for 1500 salaries without vacations and formal employment? :) Just professionally interesting, do not blame me.
Natalia, forgive my curiosity, but where do you work? I graduated from a pedagogical university in three specialties, received diplomas with honors. And where is the lack of competition, please tell me? But in the labor market for me there is only a place in a secondary educational institution, where, after working for five years and improving my qualifications, I receive a salary of as much as 1900. I tried to change jobs, I was looking for a vacancy for a personnel manager. Yes, here's the problem! In the requirements for candidates, many employers write: higher education (psychology, pedagogy), but at the same time they add: work experience from ... Can you tell me exactly where to get this experience for a teacher if no one wants to take a job without it? Maybe there will be a place in your company?
Lyudmila, you are my colleague, only I stayed at school for 3 years :) I also graduated from the university with honors, but it turned out that it would be better to be a three-year student, but I started working from the third year, and didn’t pull my studies like a fool :) But that’s lyrics.
To the point of your question. After school, I worked as a secretary, but slowly I sorted out the functions of personnel officers. I lived in the HR league, and in the GLC, because no one was going to teach me; studied on her own, talked to prof. forums, asked questions, went to seminars and various HR clubs - sometimes free, sometimes I paid for them myself. The personnel department was indescribably happy that I was so reliable, and you can hang a lot of things on me from their sphere. Then I was transferred to this department already as a personnel officer. That's how experience has been gained. Then I was already purposefully looking for a job in this area, since I had something to offer employers. Everything about everything took me 6 years. Now I work in a large supermarket chain, I have already written about the conditions.
More for Lyudmila :)
We are with you in different cities, so about the place we have - alas.
Well, about your resume "HR Manager".
What immediately catches your eye is that you are asking for an inadequately high salary. You can throw slippers at me, but it's true. With all due respect to what you have been doing for the last 5 years - in this context it is worth nothing. You have no experience in either recruiting, HR or any other HR functions. For you now the main thing is to buy it. This can be done by trying to get a job as an assistant HR manager, recruiter in an agency, etc., or in related areas: secretariat, office management, etc. Judging by those vacancies in the "Personnel Management" section that I see on Work, the second path is probably more realistic.
In any case, I would advise: a) to remove the salary level wishes from the resume b) to expand the description of work experience, to include, perhaps, the organization of some events for children?
Class Natalia!
4 thousand - inadequately high salary. Super! Does your supermarket chain work only for fines?
We are talking about different things and are engaged in the substitution of concepts :)
IMHO, 4 thousand in Kharkov is a living wage: an apartment, I don’t know about Donetsk. But. A person WITHOUT EXPERIENCE, from a completely different sphere, pays even 4 thousand nobody. not. will. Point :))) You can write 10, and 20 thousand, such a resume will hang on the site for 20 years - and nothing more. And you can start with more real 2500 UAH. and have the same 1-1.5 thousand USD. as director of personnel, but after 3-5 years.
Py.Sy. There are no fines in our supermarkets.
Got it. 4 thousand - a minimum + an apartment, but in Kharkov they will not pay so much without experience. Will Lyudmila die in 3-5 years at a salary of 2500?
Life is paradoxical and unfair...
Unfortunately, I don’t see Elena’s CV, but if 4,000 UAH. in Simferopol - these are high requirements, then I'm sorry. Although I repeat, I don’t see the Resume and the work experience itself (even if not in the field of selection), but in general. I agree with you that in our time, those who study full-time before graduation and have no experience - lose a lot in the labor market). Why are you needed at the age of 22 with your honors diploma but not a day working anywhere? After the 3rd course, normal people are transferred to a correspondence course and work full-time, and do not wipe their pants.
Yuri, Elena lives in Donetsk. And again, we are not talking about the amount on which you can live comfortably. We are talking about the cost of a specialist in the labor market. I can say for Kharkiv: 4 thousand = a specialist with 3 years of work experience who knows labor issues. legislation (he sees pitfalls and is able to prevent problems in this area of work), passed at least once an audit by government agencies and submits all required reports + can engage in hiring, organize corporate events and participate in adaptation and evaluation. Those. he does not need to explain the basics of all these functions + 1C / SAP
Well, that's how the market is. This fact can be accepted and taken into account, you can continue to ignore - the market does not care, ignoring the applicant is bad :)
A resume of a teacher/librarian/nurse/DJ, in which a salary of 4 thousand is declared on the move, most of my colleagues will not even open it.
Thanks Konrad :)
Oh. Yuri, are we talking about Lyudmila?! Excuse me :))) Lyudmila lives in Donetsk.
I completely agree 4000 without work experience for the current position is from the fantasy section. Advice to Elena lower the salary bar, get a job, gain experience, and then take new heights of well-being.
Advice to Elena - if you change the field of activity, then in the direction where there is no such hellish competition.
This is now NataliaN advises to live 3-5 years for 2500 UAH. In 3-5 years, it may well offer not 1-1.5 thousand USD. and 1900 UAH under the sauce that the visitors from Donetsk/Moldova/Syria stuffed and that's how the market developed.
The teacher may well work as a tutor, or prepare children for school ...
Natalia, thank you for your patience and recommendations for action. You are probably one of the few adequate authors in the discussions. It's nice to realize that at least someone is reasoning reasonably, and not trying to prove their case (I read at my leisure a lot of articles on the site and discussions on them) like most of those present here.
Natalya, thank you for your advice, I don’t think of throwing slippers at you. It only becomes a shame that for you a person with a higher education is on the same level (or rather, even higher) of a waiter, car wash, driver. See all vacancies on this site. And these specialists are offered salaries of 2,500, 3,000, or even 4,000. There is no such nonsense in any civilized country in the world. If you have noticed, I do not live in Donetsk itself. The road will cost me 800 a month, which means that in order for the transition to another job to be justified for me, I need a salary of at least 2800.
And I agree, and I will agree to a lower salary, if for my efforts and successes I will be encouraged (and by no means letters of thanks). I lose the desire to go to my, at first, favorite job, because, like most of my colleagues, I don’t know how to work according to the motto: “If only the day until the evening ...” I always try to do more and better, and if I pat the head and say "clever!", I generally run to move mountains. It's just that in my line of work it's not much appreciated. It’s good if they promise two days off and one of them will be given. Can you imagine - to paint three floors of the children's dormitory alone in a week and a half! Tell me, am I worth a good salary? And tell me the employer where I, with the efforts on my part, will succeed in a couple of years, otherwise I have not yet found a single company with only 5 out of 20 reviews that were negative. Everything somehow turns out the other way around - either they are fined for any little thing, then they give a day off once a month, then they forget to pay on maternity leave
Lyudmila, how do you like the profession of a tutor in external testing? I don’t know what such a tutor is preparing for, but a neighbor bought a VAZ2115 in six months. Twelve students were preparing for something.
Asan, in Kharkov, an hour of individual lessons in preparation for the EIT costs from 50 to 200 UAH. depending on the class and performance of the teacher. So even a VAZ is quite possible :) But for this you need to be a) a subject teacher, moreover, of the subject that will be in the ZNO b) an authoritative teacher showing a stable result. And these are years of conscientious work for a teacher's salary.
Well, or you can stupidly knock off money from a dozen frightened parents, and then shrug: "a child wrote a test for 120 with a minimum of 124 in two years of continuous tutoring, well, you have such a child ..." But this is a one-time thing, you understand.
This is what I mean - there is no easy money anywhere.
Lyudmila, you know, you have a great competitive advantage - knowledge of the English language! Try to look for a remote job like IT-Recruiter Assistant, I have seen such offers somewhere, but now there is no way to search for them. Perhaps through freelance databases...
I agree. I also worked in several companies, where everything is white, and at the last place of work paid leave is 28 days (according to Russian law) - since the company is Russian. At the same time, I know a lot of people who initially agree to incomprehensible conditions and then complain. And it's all in the same city. You need to be competitive in the labor market, then you will get into normal companies. Until then, gain experience. Not satisfied with life in a small town - forward to the capital. What is the problem?
Can I object?
The capital is not rubber. Many of us have our own families and even our own apartments. Throw everything, live on the bird's rights is not known where for the sake of a higher salary?? Since just the whole difference will go to renting housing!
And in our province, we just agree to work for the "kings" and for a gray salary - there are simply no other vacancies here.
What is your objection? I wrote that if you do not like it. On the other hand, all state structures work in the white and there is practically no difference in salaries in the cities. Here you have full compliance with the Labor Code. In the same USA, people constantly move from place to place when they get better-paid jobs (and everyone has families and children too). A question of mentality and personal qualities. That's all.
Narrow specialists with a salary of 300 or even more than a thousand dollars a year constantly move to the United States from place to place. Income tax on income of this level is there, if I'm not mistaken, 49%, but even for the rest, I think it's WORTH going. And for a few thousand hryvnia per month?
So the question is not only in mentality, but also in profitability.
I made a mistake with taxes. Here:
Income from $0 to $8,700 - 10%
Income from $8,700 to $35,350 - 15%
Income from $35,350 to $85,650 - 25%
Income from $85,650 to $178,650 - 28%
Income from $178,650 to $388,350 - 33%
Income over $388,350 - 35%
Elena Barynya Personnel Agency. You forgot to add what is possible if you hire Chinese and Tajiks or Moldavians to eat. Again, the Syrians will soon catch up after the bombing. If you want to eat, you will not plow like that. Globalization is the displacement of production to developing countries. Afrikanych will send you for a banana.
So work hard and be glad that you have a job. Well, if you are a Swiss and a reaper and a player on the pipe, then social guarantees are about you.
You guys, that in European countries it has long been impossible to find a job for a simple worker, because production has been moved to China, India, Pakistan and other countries. It’s cheaper and more reliable for the owner, and if we crush him with laws, then we will also have it for you.
Urgently in the garden of Europe!!!
Foreve Customs Union.
The states went through perestroika back in the 80s. Everything is now in service. And they live, you sons of bitches. All my friends in Europe, who opened a cafe, who bought an orange farm on credit. I alone will prove to the local hucksters that the salary of a specialist with a higher education should be above two minimums.
Do you agree, Vitaly?
You correctly said about the service sector, only there is work there, even in the management of firms, lawyers and economists plow. And the workers have nowhere to work. from there and the crisis, all production has moved to areas where there is less taxation and cheaper labor. Why pay a European 2000 euros if you can pay a Chinese 200.
Therefore, it is more logical to migrate to Canada-Australia than to Norway-France. You cannot transfer construction and energy to China. But due to African salaries in Ukrainian production, builders and power engineers receive the same Chinese salaries.
And this is degradation.
Either wait for accidents at power plants, railways and sewer networks, or raise the salaries of anyone you can.
applying the 80/20 rule, 8 out of 10 people will not do better if they get a pay raise. Here we need to change the approach to wages at the root
You, Vitaly, are very correct in your reasoning, but who understands you correctly? Why are you wasting your time? Leading people on the right path is a thankless task.
Who helps people
He wastes time in vain
good deeds
You can't get famous.
I mean, the local directors could read and be imbued with it ... Since October, the heating in the workshops would have started bubbling, since May, the air conditioners. Look, people would be imbued. Ceased used material values p-zdit. And you give them an award for non-smokers. And they would stop your loyalty and turnover ...
But you can also fines and "be glad that you have a job there." And "hiring Moldovans for eating" is also an option.
Alexander, there are only a few% of people like you who understand. In most cases, people believe that they are owed much more than they receive (it's not just about salary)
The same trend is the automation of production. The automaton, a priori, does not think about how much he is paid, and is not subject to reasoning about justice. The conversation that 95% (+/-) of employees treat their duties irresponsibly motivating it with anything: low wages, bad conditions, etc.
I wrote in order to explain the position of the management: why spend money, 95% will not appreciate it.
I propose to apply the 80/20 rule and open a separate heated workshop for the understanding 5% and unheated for those who do not understand.
Because the current trend is:
young people come from school / school / bursa. Inexperienced, impudent, not without it, but I would take 40-50 percent to bring to life. The older generation explains to them that even if you lie down at work without feelings, no one will appreciate it. And in practice - however, the salary - only so as not to die of hunger, the tool - only for your money, the tooth hurts - take a loan, experience is worth nothing. This is how we lose generation after generation.
I already thought. It is almost no problem to print hardened chromium-manganese steel balls with a roughness of 0.32 micrometers in a vacuum or electroslag remelting environment.
And you can assemble two clips with a dozen balls, two halves of the separator can be connected with rivets with a newly printed machine gun.
Then there are no problems at all - you print copper wire with a purity of 99.9%, you print a rotor from hundreds of layers of permalloy (68% nickel), you wind half a thousand turns manually or with a specially printed machine. The same goes for the stator.
Profit!!!
Modern technologies are toys for journalists.
The globe is spinning, but slowly.
The news said that 30-year-old trams were bought for Kharkov in the Czech Republic. The metrology center confirmed that metal fatigue is easily canceled by order of their governor.
Lugansk main diesel locomotives have been running since the 70s, only spare parts are suddenly supplied by a tank plant.
In the 80s there was a techno-hysteria with powder metallurgy. It was tempting to take a scoop of iron powder, a pinch of molybdenum, a box of chromium, mix, heat under pressure until the ligature melts and get a part with a finished thread or a bearing neck. The devil was in the details. Powders should be stored without air access. And from rusty shavings, the part is brittle.
In Germany, such production is almost in every city, in China too (but they have brittle motorcycle front forks). Our directors lower the salary policy for HR, and specialists go into the trade/construction business.
Social package, provided by the employer, for many job seekers is still not entirely clear phrase. Very often, they take advantage of the fact that the employee does not fully understand their rights, and they include in the social package their direct duties towards the employee (providing him with certain benefits), prescribed in the laws. Sometimes the reverse situation is also possible - not knowing what can be included and what is not in the social package, the job seeker, having heard that the employer does not provide the social package, or that it is small, the potential refuses promising. In this regard, when choosing a place of employment, it is very important to understand what a social package is, as well as what may be included in it.
Thus giving definition of social package, we can say that this is a set (most often, all kinds of material payments) provided by the employer to its employees on a voluntary basis, in order to attract promising employees to their organization, to demonstrate care for them, as well as to form a positive image of the organization in the business sphere and on labor market. I would like to note that the provision of a social package is the right of the employer, and not his obligation, therefore, it is impossible to require the organization to provide a social package to the employee. In addition, it must be remembered that there is no mandatory set of social package - one employer can provide more benefits included in the social package, and the other less. This issue is also left to the discretion of the employer.
In addition, one cannot fail to say that when familiarizing yourself with the list of benefits and payments, you should be careful and remember that sometimes, in order to mislead the potential, employers include in the list of social package payments mandatory, compensation and provided for in the law. This trick allows you to make the social package more impressive and solid. In this regard, it should be remembered that the employer must provide all categories of employees are paid annually, make contributions to the Pension Fund, pay sick leave for illness and injury from an accident, pay material benefits in case of disability, etc.
This is the legally established minimum that the employer must certainly provide to the employee, and this list is not included in the social package. At the same time, if an employer, for example, pays a sick leave at an increased rate (more than 100%), then this will already be considered a payment included in the social package. Also, it should be remembered that the set of social package within the same organization may vary, depending on the position of a particular employee, as well as on his length of service - some may have more social package, others less.
Also, it must be remembered that all benefits and payments listed in the social package must be included in the contract concluded between the employer and the employee, or must be listed in the appendix to the employment contract. Only in this case, if certain benefits are not provided, the employee will have the right to demand that they be provided. Also, only when the list of the social package is included in the employment contract, the content of this list cannot be changed without the consent of the employee. In addition, it should be noted that by providing an employee with an extensive social package, the employer has the right to set the conditions under which the listed benefits will be provided.
In this regard, it seems necessary to get acquainted not only with the content of the social package itself, but also with the conditions for its provision. It must be remembered that some unscrupulous employers may pay for the benefits included in the social package, partially or completely from the employee's earnings - this must be immediately paid attention to when concluding an employment contract. So, let's look at the main components of the social package.
As mentioned above, the components of the social package in different organizations can be completely different. Therefore, the list below is approximate (the most frequently used payments and compensations are listed) and, accordingly, can be either supplemented by a specific employer or reduced. So, The social package may include: -learning opportunity at various courses, seminars, classes, etc., contributing to the professional growth of employees, improving their skills. Such classes are paid for by the employer.
As mentioned above, the employer is obliged to make mandatory contributions to the Pension Fund. At the same time, in addition to mandatory payments, the employer can make additional transfers to the pension account employee (non-state pension insurance)
Depending on the scope of the organization and the mode of its work, it can provide:
Availability for employees concessional loans; or provide other assistance in obtaining from the organization
---mobile phone bill if, due to the nature of the professional activity, the employee has to talk a lot on the phone
---payment for fuel(payment for technical inspections, insurance), if the employee uses personal transport at work
---free meals on the territory of the organization (or in certain places of food)
---free for an employee (at the expense of the organization) travel to and from work
- if the organization owns a recreation center, it can provide an opportunity for its employees and their families (children) to rest at them at the expense of the organization. Either, it is possible payment for vouchers for employees (in whole or in part) in rest houses, sanatoriums, etc.
-provision of additional holidays, days off and the opportunity to take time off with pay
Providing subscriptions for sports
-assistance in arranging and searching for employees from other cities
Directly cash payments under the social package can be provided in the form:
Bonuses at the end of the year (the so-called thirteenth salary), as well as other types of bonuses
--- Supplement to average earnings in case of temporary disability and the onset of
--- payments on the occasion of the occurrence of certain events (birth of a child, weddings, gifts for some holidays, etc.)
---increased travel allowances
Thus, we have listed the main items that may be contained in the social package provided by the employer. At the same time, the employee should be extremely careful when applying for a job, and in the most serious way approach getting acquainted with the content of the social package provided, the conditions for its provision and the inclusion of social package items in.
In ads about open vacancies, along with information about wages, one can increasingly see the postscript: “plus social package”. Recently, the social package has become an integral part of the image of employers, with whom it is prestigious to cooperate. However, the content of the package in different companies may be different, and sometimes it is mentioned only “for show” ...
A social or, as it is also called, a compensation package is a remuneration for work that an employee of a company receives in addition to salary. The cost of a social package can be from a third to a half of the amount of earnings. At the same time, each company offers its own list of compensations: some are limited to the implementation of the provisions of labor legislation, paying sick leave and vacations to employees; others - include in the package free meals, medical insurance, transportation costs, vouchers to the resort, classes in sports clubs; still others provide a car, soft loans, apartments, etc. for use.
For young employees with little experience, low salaries are sometimes compensated by the possibility of internships and additional training. In principle, a social package may include all kinds of compensation for the costs of supporting the life of an employee, expressed in the form of non-cash payment for goods and services or various discounts and benefits.
Why is this type of remuneration so actively practiced by many employers?
Currently, there is an acute shortage of highly qualified personnel in the labor market. It is very difficult to find the right specialist, but it is even more difficult to keep him in a competitive environment. Therefore, in addition to an appropriate salary, it is necessary to offer him something that will attract him to the company for a long time.
In addition, in order to achieve a stable position for the company, the employer cannot increase wages indefinitely, and the social package can be expanded and filled with new content, stimulating an increase in labor productivity and optimizing personnel management costs.
Thus, the social package serves as an additional lever of administrative influence on employees.
If an employee is not satisfied with the compensation, then he can either leave the company, or deliberately reduce his productivity, or come into conflict with management. All this has a detrimental effect on the activities of the company as a whole. Therefore, compensation is needed primarily by the company itself in order to motivate the efficient work of employees.
No wonder they say that everything new is well-forgotten old: even in the days of the Soviet Union, all citizens actively used compensation packages. Employees of enterprises, institutions, organizations had the opportunity to dine in canteens for free or at reduced prices, their children rested in pioneer camps and attended departmental kindergartens. It was possible to spend a vacation with the family in a sanatorium, to engage in sports sections. Businesses built housing for their employees. Alas, with the collapse of the USSR, almost all the accumulated experience in the field of social guarantees was decisively discarded.
A few years later, already in the new, independent states, including Ukraine, they began to return to the practice of providing workers with compensation packages. It turned out that this method of organizing stable and productive work is widely used by entrepreneurs in Western countries. It was they who, creating enterprises in Ukraine, began to introduce their principles of relations with employees here: high wages in foreign companies, as a rule, are combined with an attractive social package.
In countries with market relations, employers' labor costs are broader than workers' compensation. The cost structure is approved by the International Labor Organization (ILO). It includes ten groups of indicators:
2) payment for unworked time;
3) one-time bonuses and incentives;
4) expenses for food, fuel and other benefits in kind;
5) expenses for providing employees with housing;
6) expenses for social protection;
7) expenses for vocational training;
8) expenses for cultural and community services;
9) costs not included in the previously given classification groups;
10) taxes related to labor costs.
Based on these indicators, the average cost per unit of time worked or paid is calculated, which is taken into account by state bodies when granting tax benefits to entrepreneurs. That is, it is beneficial for employers in the West to provide a social package.
For example, Procter & Gamble offers its employees the following compensation package:
The content of the compensation package in many companies depends on what position the employee holds. Employers approach the provision of additional benefits in a differentiated way. They can, for example, pay for tuition or give a soft loan to buy an apartment, but on the condition that the employee has actually proven professionalism and devotion to the interests of the company.
As a rule, the compensation package is wider in those departments that earn money for the company, for example, in the sales department. For top managers of the company, there is usually a separate compensation package.
The simplest way to differentiate compensatory benefits is the traditional monetary reward - various bonuses and bonuses. Such a system is widely used by both Western and domestic companies. Bonuses can be paid monthly or quarterly if the specialist has fulfilled the plan set for him. Some firms prefer to pay bonuses once a year.
There are several approaches used to determine the content of the compensation package for employees.
The first approach assumes a clear structure of benefits. The employee knows that at this step of the career ladder he is entitled to a pager and a travel card, and at the next step - a representative class car.
The second - is determined by the individual attitude. The employee turns to the management with a request for some compensation, and the employer decides for himself whether this employee is of any value to the company, whether to meet him halfway.
The third approach is just emerging in our labor market, but, according to HR experts, it is the future. Every year, each employee of the company passes the final certification and, based on its results, receives a certain number of points - depending on the success of the work. The benefits provided can be combined as you like, but within the points earned.
Why does an employer, like Santa Claus, distribute gifts? Yes, not out of the kindness of the soul and not from striving for perfection. Everything is much more prosaic - because it is profitable!
Personnel is the main resource of the organization, and the company begins to invest in it when it needs competitive advantages, when it wants to achieve some results. The tougher the competition, the more important the employee's loyalty is for the company.
In addition, many components of the social package in one way or another compensate for the costs associated with work. A mobile phone makes it possible to contact an employee at any time of the day. A company car for a manager is not a privilege, but a production necessity.
The same can be said about trainings, corporate training - they are equally beneficial for both the specialist and the employer. By the way, employers pay for trainings and seminars in many companies, but only large companies with foreign capital can afford to pay for the fundamental education of a specialist.
Stable and strong companies work for the future. In many of them, the main part of the compensation package is an investment in their staff, and therefore in their own future. For example, health insurance, free gym memberships, referrals to advanced training are provided for a very specific purpose: every company needs competent specialists with professional knowledge and good health.
If a company offers a wide social package, this means that they are responsible for personnel management and, probably, employees have good opportunities for development and growth.
Given all of the above, we conclude: the social package is just a way to attract workers. Therefore, when applying for a job, you should not focus solely on its availability. Remember, only you can take care of your interests. After all, employers pursue their goal - to get a good employee. Much can be promised. And more often than not, failure to keep promises cannot even be called a hoax.
Be carefull. Your gullibility and inattention can turn to your own detriment. Before you "rush" to the ads promising high salaries and generous social packages, try to assess the reality of these very promises.
Ask about working conditions and rewards. Find out if the existence of additional compensatory benefits is legally fixed in the collective agreement. Will an employment contract be concluded personally with you, and will it list the benefits you are entitled to. It is in your interest to clearly fix in the contract what kind of compensation package the employer undertakes to provide. In this case, the legal regulation of these issues will be in the field of labor legislation.
As the most common benefits of the compensation package, consider the following: bonuses, the provision of apartment ownership, training and the provision of a preferential loan.
Bonuses. Clearly define the conditions and procedure for granting the bonus, as well as its amount. If it is impossible to specify a specific amount, it is advisable to establish the procedure for calculating the size of the bonus (for example, it may be a certain percentage of the company's profit).
If it is possible to determine the amount of the bonus or the procedure for calculating it from the employment contract, the employee has the right to go to court with a request to the employer to make the appropriate payments.
Providing ownership of an apartment. It is recommended that the employment contract provide for all the conditions for providing an apartment, fix the data that allow identifying the apartment with an indication of the persons living in it, then the employment contract in this part will be considered as a preliminary contract for the sale of an apartment. If the apartment is registered as the property of the employee, the employer is not entitled to demand its return.
Education. It is advisable to indicate the cost of training in the employment contract, then it will be possible to demand payment of a certain amount of money if the employer refuses to pay for training.
Providing soft loans. If the employer undertakes to provide the employee with a preferential loan, then the employment contract must specify its conditions in detail. It is necessary to determine the amount, the interest rate for use, the procedure for paying interest, the terms for repaying the loan, etc.
To draw up such an agreement, you need to be well versed in the current legislation. Therefore, before signing this important document, consult a lawyer, and then many disputes and problems can be avoided.

The first thing an employer offers an employee is a salary. But now the social package is also becoming relevant. In many job postings, you can see a mention of additional benefits.
This concept is not regulated by the state, despite its popularity and demand. However, it is very relevant both among applicants for prestigious positions and among employers. The presence of a social package provides unconditional advantages when taking office.
It is impossible to confuse the concept of social guarantees and the social package. An employer of any level is obliged to provide its employees with guarantees approved by federal law.
The list of benefits often becomes a reflection of the distribution of power within business units. With its help, the status of the employee is emphasized, so this concept is increasingly gaining weight and significance.
When forming a package, options are allowed, but its unifying feature in any enterprise has become the payment by the employer of the proposed additional benefits.
For example, often the social package includes medical care or rest in a specialized sanatorium. Some employers are limited to providing a mobile phone or assistance in renting temporary housing.
The list of benefits sometimes includes memberships to the pool or fitness center. And even the 13th salary, known since Soviet times, is also part of the social package. The priority component in any option of privileges is the payment of transportation costs.
If the employer guarantees employees medical insurance, then he is more likely to get qualified specialists and secure them in his production.
The social package is the best way to motivate staff and attract valuable employees.
At the same time, it cannot be said that the presence or absence of social incentives is the main criterion for choosing a job. In recruitment agencies, there are rarely cases of refusal of a position due to the lack of a social package. This is rather a good bonus and an additional incentive when making a decision.
Most companies practice a heterogeneous list of benefits.
Modern employers practice three ways of its formation:
The social package contains a psychological factor. He works for the cohesion of the team and the formation of corporate culture.
The social package is beneficial for both employees and employers. For management, this is a good chance to retain valuable employees without wage increases. For employees, this is a significant support from the employer.
So, in the labor legislation there is no such term. But the legislation provides for the obligation of any employer to provide each member of the team with social protection.
The provision of basic guarantees is not the "favor" of the employer. Providing employees with annual leave or providing unscheduled time off in connection with a wedding, the employer does not express any special disposition towards the employee, but fulfills his direct duties. The same applies to the formation of a package of documents on labor protection, payment for sick leave or referral for a medical examination.
The full social package includes rights guaranteed by law and additional social benefits from the employer. However, the list of additional benefits is regulated by the employer.
It is important that this nuance be emphasized in the employment contract. When applying for a job, additional preferences in the form of a full (extended) social package are offered by reputable companies. Moreover, the employer has the right to vary it for different positions.
Very often, when advertising a vacancy, the employer promises to add a significant social package to the established salary. At the same time, what exactly he puts into this concept is not at all clear. For example, is paid leave a social package or a guaranteed obligation of the employer? Let's try to deal with this and other issues in detail in this article.
When applying for a job, it is important to understand which payments and incentives are the employee's legislative right, and which are a bonus to honestly earned wages. Some dishonest employers issue social guarantees for a social package.
Guarantees, unlike a package, are a prerequisite, enshrined in the labor legislation of the Russian Federation. These include:
Consequently, the social security of workers and the social package are completely different concepts that an employer can serve under the same sauce.
Also, this term should not be confused with compensation payments, which are clearly spelled out in Section VII of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
That is, if an employee is guaranteed payment for the use of his personal car, reimbursement of expenses for arriving at the place of a business trip, mobile negotiations for work purposes, and the like, then this is not an additional incentive, but norm set by the state. Such payments are compensation for the employee's monetary expenses related to the performance of his official duties.
Russian legislation does not define the concept of "full social package", so each employer can make it at his own discretion. Therefore, before considering it a good salary bonus, you should ask what it includes.
The social package is a personal initiative of the employer, which serves as a weighty argument for attracting qualified personnel. The use of this personnel management lever is aimed at achieving the following goals:
The social package is not an incentive to improve labor productivity. This is a factor that allows you to extinguish negative moods in the team. The employer must clearly consider its completeness in accordance with the goals set.
The main requirement is bonuses should be for each member of the workforce. It cannot be provided selectively or equally for everyone. Each category of employees should have its own set of motivational tools.
The social package is formed by the employer. He includes in it additional privileges of such kind and quality as he sees fit. For different positions, various benefits are provided.
It is important that the presented social package meets the requirements of the employee. HR specialists conducted a number of sociological surveys of employees, in which they asked what is preferable for them, a cash payment or an extended social package. The majority of respondents choose money, believing that they do not need all the components of the motivational portfolio.
Many reputable companies have a "flexible" designer package that can be tailored to the individual needs of each employee.
Each organization develops its own set of benefits, which are prescribed in the employment agreement. Very often, the set of bonuses depends on the category of personnel:
The completeness of the package depends on the financial capabilities of the employer. To these benefits, the employer, at his discretion, can add the following:
Many benefits are provided after a certain period of work in this enterprise. The employee must prove his professionalism, and therefore deserve a special "attitude" of the management. Therefore, many benefits are provided differentially.
In most cases, a set of motivational guarantees more in departments that "make" money for the firm. For example, leading sales managers are especially noted for whom an individual package is compiled.
With the help of the social package, the company receives significant competitive advantages that allow it to retain a professional specialist.
An extended set of bonuses is an investment in the company's personnel, which means a guarantee of a stable future. The wider the package, the more seriously the employer takes his own employees. Employees of such a company have opportunities for professional growth, development, and rehabilitation. And the staff is the main resource for the stable operation of any organization.
Some citizens of the Russian Federation are entitled to receive a guaranteed social package. This benefit category includes:
The social package can be received in the form of state-guaranteed services or in monetary terms. The monetary value of the benefit is added to the total amount of pension payments.
A pensioner can choose any form, which he must report to the relevant authorities before October 1 of the current year.
The preferential set of state guarantees includes:
To receive a cash equivalent, you must submit a written application as follows:
If the pensioner changes his mind and decides to receive benefits in kind, he will have to apply again. If the application is not submitted, then it is considered that the beneficiary has chosen to receive services.
As a rule, a pensioner cannot receive quality service under the social package due to him. Getting free medicines is associated with serious paperwork, often the necessary drugs are simply not available in pharmacies. And it is unlikely that it will be possible to restore health for the amount due from the state for recovery. Therefore, unprotected categories more often choose the monetary equivalent of the benefit.
Social services waiver form:
Accept or not accept additional bonuses from the employer the employee decides. If he has no interest in receiving them, then he should not sign the agreement in which they are indicated.
When the social package is part of the employment contract, the employee must issue a written waiver of the benefits provided.
Refusal of the social package is not a reason for increasing the salary or receiving additional bonuses. That is, you can lose additional bonuses without getting anything in return.
A social package from the employer is a way to make work more comfortable. An extended package of services helps an employee to value his work more, motivates him to get a high position or achieve high performance from his activities. By agreeing to bonuses from the employer, the employee does not risk anything. He receives additional benefits that will cost him nothing.
