The monthly salary can be less minimum

The essence of the reply of Ministry of Labor on our inquiry is reduced to the following: at default of performance standards because of the worker payment is made in proportion to the executed work.

Thus, even if the worker "will leave" the time on work (will execute monthly  norm  of time),  but    won’t carry out     the plan  target established to it, the enterprise has the right to pay a salary at a rate of less minimum (Law No. 108 Art. 21 *).

To it we will add: it will be documentary necessary for employer to confirm that fact that the norm of work isn’t executed by the worker. And for this purpose the enterprise should have such documents, as:

• The provision on compensation (can be a part of the collective agreement existing at the enterprise) in which are fixed:

• reasonable norms of work and price-work quotations per unit of output (the executed amount of works, services),

• indicators according to which the salary to various categories of workers is charged;

• the staffing   table   in   which      positions   of workers   and official salaries corresponding to them, tariff rates or price-work quotations are specified,

• primary documents on the basis of which the salary (for example, the report on the done work, the sheet of working hours is charged).

* the Law of Ukraine from 24.03.95 of No. 108/95 About compensation.
