The Verkhovna Rada adopted the draft law in the first reading, which stipulates that the minimum salary of police officers should be at least UAH 30,280. About this reported People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak.
The draft law proposes to determine the salary of police officers depending on the position, special rank, length of service, intensity and conditions of performance of official duties, level of qualification, as well as the presence of a scientific degree or title. It is assumed that the minimum wage should be at least ten times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons, which is currently UAH 3,028.
It is also proposed to introduce monthly seniority bonuses: 5% for 1 to 2 years of service, 10% for 2 to 4 years, 15% for 4 to 7 years, 20% for 10 to 13 years, 25% for 13 to 19 years, 45% for 19 to 25 years, and 50% for more than 25 years of service.
Police officers who are temporarily serving outside of Ukraine are guaranteed the payment of monetary support in national currency, as well as the payment of remuneration in foreign currency in accordance with the conditions established by the government.
At the same time, police officers assigned to other state authorities, institutions or organizations will receive financial support, which will include the salary for the new position and other types of payments provided for by this law.
