An expert explained who is entitled to the 13th salary.
The term "13th salary" is familiar to employees across various sectors, but it is not codified in Russian legislation. In fact, it refers to an annual bonus — an incentive payment that an employer awards according to its own rules. Svetlana Shabronova, senior lawyer at hh.ru, explained who may receive such a payment and on what grounds.
According to the expert, the "13th salary" is not obligatory: the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not contain such a concept. An annual bonus is paid only if it is provided for in the company's local regulatory acts or in the rules governing the activities of certain categories of employees.
Who may be entitled to the 13th salary:
- employees whose bonus is specified in the employer's documents. This may be a collective agreement, a bonus policy, or an individual employment contract. The document must clearly set out the criteria and the procedure for its calculation
- state and municipal employees. For certain categories, such payments are established by normative acts — government resolutions, presidential decrees, or regional laws
- employees of budgetary institutions. In some regions of the Russian Federation, annual bonuses are established for teachers, medical workers, cultural workers and other specialists through sectoral agreements and regional-level acts
- those who have met established performance indicators. If the bonus policy specifies concrete criteria — for example, meeting targets, absence of disciplinary sanctions, or quality of work — the bonus is paid when those conditions are met
