Salaries of employees of healthcare, educational, cultural and social institutions in the Omsk region will be increased by 20% from the region’s own financial sources from January 1, 2005. As the press service of the regional government reported yesterday, the governor of the Omsk region, Leonid Polezhaev, announced the upcoming increase in salaries of public sector employees at a meeting with the chairmen of regional trade union committees. As he said, the draft budget of the Omsk region for 2005, which provides for an increase in salaries for teachers and doctors, will be presented to the deputies of the legislative assembly of the Omsk region on October 28 of this year. According to the governor, the wage fund for public sector employees in the Irtysh region, taking into account the increase in wages, will increase from 9 to 11 billion rubles. In the structure of regional budget expenditures, funding for wages will reach 53%, and contributions from the regional treasury for the maintenance of the budgetary sector will amount to up to 75% of the total. As Leonid Polezhaev emphasized, despite the increased burden on the budget due to the monetization of benefits, the main task of the regional government will be to ensure social security of the population.
