The employer encourages employees who conscientiously perform labor obligations(announces gratitude, gives out a prize, awards a valuable gift, a certificate of honor, presents to the title of the best in the profession).

Other types of incentives for employees for work are determined collective agreement or internal rules work schedule as well as statutes and regulations on discipline. For special labor merit in front of society and the state, employees can be presented for state awards.

COMMENT 1.

Rewarding an employee for work is an important incentive to improve performance. The main criterion for encouragement is the conscientious performance of labor duties by the employee. 2.

Part 1 of the commented article provides a list of possible incentives for employees, however, it can be supplemented by a collective agreement or internal labor regulations. The nature of incentives can be both moral and material, and often these forms are interrelated, and the announcement of gratitude or the presentation of a diploma, as a rule, is accompanied by a cash payment (bonus). 3.

Usually, the internal labor regulations or the collective agreement contains a section regulating the issue of employee incentives, in which the types of incentives should be indicated, as well as the criteria, the presence of which indicates the possibility of applying the incentive. 4.

Based on its financial capabilities, the employer may decide to encourage employees, regardless of the fact that this type of encouragement is available in the Code, internal labor regulations, or a collective agreement. In particular, the payment of a bonus may be due to the achievement of any result in work or performance in short term especially difficult and important task. A bonus paid as an incentive should not be confused with bonuses paid to all or most employees, which are integral part remuneration systems, although often the issue of incentive bonuses is resolved in such a local act as the provision on bonuses. 5.

The decision to reward an employee is made by the employer independently. The criterion of conscientious performance of labor duties is quite subjective, and any employee who does not have disciplinary action may meet this criterion.

Often, when an employee reaches a certain age (anniversary), in connection with the celebration of the “round” date of the activity of certain sectors of the national economy, types economic activity or the activities of a system of bodies (organizations), a decision is made to reward an employee (employees) who conscientiously fulfills their duties, expressed, as a rule, in the form of a certificate of honor and a cash payment. 6.

Apart from labor aspect, some incentives for employees may have a social aspect, since measures of social support are associated with the presence of certain awards. For example, Federal Law No. 5-FZ of 12.01.1995 “On Veterans” refers to the number of labor veterans persons awarded orders or medals, or awarded honorary titles of the USSR or Russian Federation, or awarded departmental insignia in labor and having the length of service necessary for the appointment of an old-age pension or for length of service.

Measures of social support for this category of persons are determined by laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. 7.

There is no legal definition of the term “departmental badge of distinction in labor”. At the same time, for state bodies, the most typical activity is the approval of departmental insignia, which are awarded both to employees of the central offices of these bodies and those working in organizations whose scope of activity is regulated by this state body.

In particular, the following documents can be highlighted:-

resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2005 No. 37pl “On awards pension fund Russian Federation";

Order of the Federal Tax Service of 07.06.2005 No. SAE-3-15/243 @ “On departmental insignia of the Federal Tax Service”; -

order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated June 10, 2005 No. 400 “On departmental awards of the Ministry of Health and social development Russian Federation"; -
