In Ukraine, salaries will be increased for another category of citizens: who and by how much.

Ukraine plans to raise police salaries

This was announced by the first deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Taxation and Customs Policy, Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

Draft Law No. 6506-1 on police salaries has been approved in the first reading by the Verkhovna Rada.

According to the document, the minimum salary of a police officer will become a guaranteed component of the total amount of monetary provision.

The monetary provision of police officers should create sufficient conditions for their work and take into account the nature, intensity, and danger of the job. It should also compensate for the physical and intellectual costs of employees. The amount of payment will depend on the position, special rank, length of service, working conditions, qualifications, and other factors.

The salary will consist of the official salary, bonuses for length of service, allowances for special ranks, work with access to state secrets, academic degrees, and titles, as well as bonuses.

The official salary of police officers cannot be less than 10 times the minimum subsistence level for working individuals, except for cadets of police educational institutions.

According to the current minimum subsistence level in Ukraine, which is UAH 3028, the minimum salary of a police officer should be at least UAH 30,280.

We remind you that the Rada also supported the law on salaries of officials.
