The maximum sick pay from January will be 2.7 thousand rubles. in a day

In Russia, from January 1, 2023, the maximum amount of sick leave payments will increase. It will be 2736.99 rubles. per day and 84,846.69 rubles. per month (31 days). The increase will affect those whose experience exceeds eight years, reported “Prime” in the press service of the Social Insurance Fund (FSS).

“The calculation method remains the same – sick leave payment directly depends on the employee’s income for the previous two years and length of service. If the experience is less than five years, a person receives only 60% of the average earnings. If the experience is from five to eight years, the allowance is 80%, ”the FSS specified.

Also, from 2023, sick leave payments will be received by employees working under GPC agreements. We are talking about citizens with whom a civil law contract has been concluded for the performance of work or the provision of services, or an agreement on the author’s order, or an agreement on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art. The calculation of benefits for workers under a GPC agreement will be the same as for workers under employment contracts, based on earnings for two years, or on the basis of the minimum wage (minimum wage), if the earnings were small.

Yesterday, December 19, President Vladimir Putin approved changes in the methodology for calculating the minimum wage for 2023 and 2024. From January 1 next year, the minimum wage will increase by 6.3%, to 16,242 rubles. The last time the minimum wage was indexed in June – by 10%. 10 November President Vladimir Putin instructed government to develop proposals to increase the minimum wage.
