The increase in the tariff rate of the first category depends on the results of the economy's performance - P. Grushnik

April 13, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The increase in the first-category tariff rate depends on the economic performance. This was stated to journalists, answering a question from a BELTA correspondent, by the First Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Belarus Petr Grushnik, who is taking part in the republican scientific and practical seminar "New opportunities for employers in choosing forms and systems of labor remuneration in the context of liberalizing economic activities of commercial organizations" in Vitebsk. "The government makes decisions on increasing the first-category tariff rate depending on the financial and economic conditions of the republic," said the First Deputy Minister. This issue is not off the agenda, but it directly depends on the economic performance, Petr Grushnik added. The last increase in this standard occurred in Belarus on January 1, 2012: the first-category tariff rate for the remuneration of employees of budget organizations and other organizations receiving subsidies, whose employees are equated in remuneration to employees of budget organizations, was increased from Br151 thousand to Br200 thousand, or by 32.5%. -0-
