The salary of federal department employees who are not civil servants will be doubled on average starting January 1, 2027, RIA Novosti reports with reference to Mikhail Afanasiev, associate professor at the Moscow State Academy of Law. The increase will affect clerks, analysts, specialists, psychologists and technical experts. However, the total salary will not necessarily be doubled. The bonus for the complexity of the work and the high achievements will be reduced from 50-100% to 25-50% of the salary and the vacation payment will be reduced from two salaries to one. At the same time, the seniority bonus will begin accruing after the first year of work instead of three. The changes are intended to increase the guaranteed portion of the salary of the employees of the federal departments.
