Definition of the term professional qualification groups(PCG), its goals and objectives are given in Article 144 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. PKG is a set of positions and professions in relation to individual production areas. They take into account the training requirements to perform certain functions and responsibilities, as well as the qualifications of those employed in the institution. The system is used in the formation of the organization of remuneration at enterprises of municipal and state significance. Legislation on labor relations also contains such a concept as basic salaries for professional qualification groups, that is, the initial rate of remuneration for a person, taking into account the indicators established by the PKG. In our edition we will look at what these concepts mean, the scope of their application, as well as goals and objectives.
The number of PKG depends on the specifics of the enterprise’s activities; it can be very diverse. As we have already noted, professional qualification groups are divided into industries depending on the requirements for professional training and the degree of qualification of workers engaged in production. Accordingly, taking into account these measurements, the amount of remuneration for each of them is established. Difference between smallest and highest value The PKG in relation to wages should be sufficient to stimulate employees to perform labor responsibilities of varying complexity, while high differentiation in payment is unacceptable.
Correctly designated salary amounts for professional qualification groups will significantly reduce the volume of bonus payments, additional payments and allowances, or eliminate them altogether. This is due to several factors. This:
- Encouragement and stimulation of employees to perform their duties in a high-quality manner often occurs through the payment of bonuses, additional payments and allowances. But all these indicators can be taken into account in determining the size of the base rates developed according to the PKG system in relation to wages of various types.
- In the proposed model for systematizing the establishment of salary amounts, the salary fund is distributed among individual PCGs in full without any remainder. Accordingly, there will be no source for the calculation and payment of other monetary remuneration.
The main goal of the program is to simplify the organization of determining the wage fund, since other monetary remunerations are completely excluded. Mechanism for calculating financing by wages simplified to a noticeable extent, which makes it possible to make it more understandable and accessible to all categories of workers.
Formation order
Basic official salaries for professional qualification groups are established depending on the type of production activity of an organization of municipal or state significance, as well as factors for classifying positions according to the PKG. The formation procedure was approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 525 of 08/06/2007, as well as by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 144).
Legislation approves professional qualification groups for general industry positions, taking into account the economic activities of state or municipal institutions.
Table No. 1. Documents approving professional groups for qualification characteristics taking into account the specifics of the companies’ economic activities.
All positions and professions according to the approved PKG are distributed according to the degree of qualification, taking into account the volume of skills, abilities and knowledge in the professional field, as well as experience in a certain area of work.
In addition to the PKGs given in the table above, the Orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development approved a professional qualification group: industry-wide positions of employees, managers and specialists (Order No. 247n), as well as industry-wide positions working group(Order No. 248n). According to these Orders, PKGs are not tied to a specific area of activity.
Basic salaries according to PKG
IN Labor Code In the Russian Federation, there is such a thing as the basic salary according to the PCG, which is understood as the minimum wage rate for the corresponding qualification category of workers in state or municipal institutions.
The base salary does not include compensation, social or bonus payments; the calculation is carried out based on the minimum wage approved for the corresponding period. According to Article 144 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, base rates are established by the Government of the Russian Federation, and the management of the enterprise does not have the right to underestimate their established amount.
Categories of professional suitability
When hiring, an important factor is the professional suitability of the employee, and as we know, when setting the salary of the corresponding professional qualification group, this indicator is one of the important ones. But we note that the category of professional suitability is considered in two aspects:
- Qualifying.
- Medical.
To calculate the salary, we take into account qualification category, which refers to the amount of knowledge, skills and abilities of an employee, as well as his experience in a certain field of employment. It is on this indicator that the size of his official salary depends.
When hiring, the employer carries out professional selection, in frequent cases this is testing. But the check can be carried out by the manager in relation to already hired employees in order to confirm their qualifications.
The qualification level is divided into four categories; based on the test results, the employer makes an appropriate decision.
Category of professional suitability | Compliance with the position |
First category | Fully suitable for the position high level qualifications. |
Second category | Employees are recommended for employment and meet the basic requirements for the position held. |
Third category | Persons are recommended conditionally, since their professionalism does not fully meet the requirements. Training and employment are possible if there is a shortage of personnel. |
Fourth category | The fourth category of professional suitability means complete incompatibility with the position. Such workers are not recommended for employment; their professionalism, skills and knowledge are not sufficient to obtain the appropriate profession. |
As for medical suitability, the employer must be guided by Article 213 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which obliges certain categories of employees to undergo mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations. Without medical confirmation of professional suitability, an employee cannot be allowed to perform official duties.
