ON REMUNERATION AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES OF SOME HIGHER STATE AUTHORITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: ASSESSING UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS IN LEGAL REGULATION

Abstract

The article considers some actual problems in legal regulation of renumeration and retirement benefits for some categories of federal civil servants. These problems relate to the assessment of the equal status of the higher legislative, executive, and judicial branches of state power of the Russian Federation. The author has studied in detail the relevant legal acts, scientific articles, and monographs published on similar topics and provide convincing arguments about the need to correct the current imbalance. The author concludes that it is necessary to raise the level of attractiveness of civil service and increase the competitiveness of the state as an employer. It is suggested that this can be achieved through equalizing the level of wages of civil servants with the wages of workers in the corresponding/similar specialty and qualifications of the non-state (commercial) sector. The author identifies priorities for further improvement of legal regulation, formulates proposals to eliminate the selective approach in determining and changing the salaries and other significant parameters of the monetary content of federal civil servants of some higher state authorities.
