Russian region delays public sector pay raises after ‘unforeseen expenses’ on military recruitment bonuses

Source: Nyurguyana Zamorshchikova

The government of the Republic of Sakha has postponed a planned pay increase for employees of budget-funded institutions by two months, pushing back the effective date from July 1 to September 1. Kirill Bychkov, the head of the region’s government, revealed the delay in response to an inquiry from Nyurguyana Zamorshchikova, a deputy in the republic’s State Assembly.

In the document, which Zamorshchikova published on her Telegram channel, officials attributed the delay to “unforeseen expenses” on payments to citizens who have signed contracts with Russia’s Defense Ministry.

The government adopted the resolution postponing the 5.4% pay increase in mid-June, but Zamorshchikova said it did not specify why the raise was being delayed.

In late July, authorities in Russia’s Rostov region scrapped a planned 4% pay increase for public-sector workers without explanation. In Sakhalin, officials froze pay indexation for medical workers, the news outlet 7×7 reported, adding that officials attributed the move to wage growth in previous years that had outpaced inflation.
