BT received still more budget money :: Charter'97 :: News

Alyaksandr Lukashenka signed the edict on additional financial support for the national state-owned TV Company’s staff. In compliance with the document the budget part of the company‘s staff wages is to be increased by 40 %.

Thus the edict has changed the principle of labor stimulation of the national TV company which existed for 10 years when all the bonuses and benefits had to be paid from the”proceeds of the advertising and commercial activities”. Those proceeds seem to become insufficient for providing “decent” earnings of the national TV company’s staff .The problem was solved by the head of the state‘s edict, the “Yezhenedelnik”(Daily) newspaper runs.

As it is stipulated by the signed document, the chairman of the national TV Company is entitled to employ the budget funds for establishing the stimulating additional payments as well as the bonuses for its employees excluding those who are assigned the status of state employees.

According to the edict, the chairman of the company may employ 20% of the established labor payment fund for establishing the stimulating additional payments and the same share for bonuses.

Thus the national state-owned TV Company’s budget is to become at once heavier by 40%. And that is to be done at the same time when the rest of the population is called for saving on anything imaginable.
It is also to be mentioned that only a fortnight ago the government issued the order on increasing financial support of the national state-owned company ”TV Channel-II” and joint -stock company ”Stolichnoye Televidenye”.

By the government resolution the salary raising factor (2.2) of the tariff wage rate thus meaning a double increase of the employee’s salaries. Now these double salaries are to be taken as the basis for further calculation of stimulating additional payments and bonuses. Is it much or little? Probably, the government and the president are more aware of the fact. Unfortunately.
