Top managers of state corporations will not be able to earn more than the president

A member of A Just Russia, Oleg Nilov, introduced a bill to the State Duma limiting compensation upon dismissal for top managers of state corporations.

The size of the “golden parachutes,” the bill says, “cannot exceed the salary of a given person for the previous twelve calendar months of work.” At the same time, according to the legislator, “the monthly official salary of the head of a state-owned enterprise, taking into account bonuses, other payments, as well as other property alienated by the state in favor of this person, cannot exceed the average monthly monetary remuneration of the President of the Russian Federation based on the indicators of the previous calendar year.” In 2012, Vladimir Putin earned 5,790,823 rubles, which is an average monthly income of 482,568 rubles. In other words, if the law is adopted, heads of state-owned enterprises in 2013 will not be able to earn more than this amount monthly, and compensation upon dismissal will not be able to exceed the annual salary of the president.

“The main idea is that no one works more than the president in Russia, or in any other state,” explains Oleg Nilov. “No one takes on such responsibility, does not take such risks. And therefore, neither the heads of state companies, departments, industry enterprises, nor high-ranking officials should receive monetary remuneration for their work that exceeds the salary of the president. Yes, the work of top managers is, of course, difficult. It requires maximum impact, experience, knowledge and skills, but these are not the risks that are taken. the head of state is coming."

The faction’s message also indicates that the bill was inspired by the “dismissal of the ex-head of Rostelecom Alexander Provotorov, who received a cash allowance of 230 million rubles upon dismissal” and the “golden parachute” of the former head of Russian Post Alexander Kiselev of 3 million rubles .

Vladimir Putin instructed the government to legislatively limit compensation for dismissals to top managers of state corporations following the results of the March conference of the All-Russian Popular Front. However, these restrictions will affect only state-owned enterprises created on the basis of federal law, Vedomosti writes. In this case, “golden parachutes” will be legally curtailed only in Avtodor and Rusnano. As the publication writes, the state can still limit the payment of bonuses and compensation through representatives on the Board of Directors, and cutting “golden parachutes” will only make the public sector uncompetitive compared to private companies.
