Many individual entrepreneurs who provide work to women who are going to go on maternity leave or take leave to further care for their child are interested in the question of what is the maximum amount of maternity payments in 2018.
Benefit for pregnancy and subsequent childbirth, as well as for child care, or as they say maternity payments, this is a social guarantee from the state, aimed at supporting the fair sex, who decided to have a baby. Naturally, the amount of payments for pregnancy and childbirth will depend on some factors, which will be discussed below.
The legislation that regulates this issue has not changed, but like all social guarantees (pensions, other payments), its size has also been indexed. It follows from this that the size of the allowance itself was indexed and it became larger in monetary terms.
If we determine the maximum and minimum limits, then in 2018, depending on the minimum wage set in each region independently, the maximum amount of payments for childbirth and pregnancy cannot exceed 215 thousand rubles, and the minimum - 3065.69 rubles, and for all the time of payment of the minimum wage, its size will not exceed 43,676 rubles.
It is important to remember that the size of maternity leave is inextricably linked either with the size wages a woman going on maternity leave, or with the amount of social benefits for those cases when the woman going on maternity leave was not in an employment relationship. Accordingly, when accruing, all types of indexations of the population's incomes established by the state, including wages to budgetary workers, pensions, insurance and social payments, are taken into account.
In accordance with the May decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Duma approved a number of measures aimed at indexing in 2018 the salaries of workers employed in public sector. The criteria for the proposed indexation are so complex that state employees should hardly hope for a wage increase in the near future. The planned state subsidies for indexation in the amount of 30 billion rubles were frozen due to an unbearable burden on the budget.
Approximately the same situation has developed with the indexation of social payments, that is, the only state-guaranteed payments for non-working women in the event of their pregnancy and childbirth. According to forecasts, from April 2018, the indexation of social benefits by 4.1% is planned.
Currently, payments for pregnancy and childbirth are not subject to indexation. For 2018, the minimum amount will remain the same and will amount to 43,675 rubles per year.
The first and main criterion is the identity of the recipient of maternity payments.. The recipient can only be a pregnant woman or a woman who has given birth. No one else can claim payment.
The second criterion will be whether a woman has seniority at least 2 years before going on maternity leave, if a woman claims payments based on her earnings.
The third criterion is the size of the minimum wage (minimum wage). In accordance with the speech of the President of the Russian Federation, it should be assumed that from May 1, 2018, it is planned to bring the minimum wage to the level living wage. Previously, the date of this innovation was the date of 01/01/2019. It remains to be hoped that this will be done. In any case, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection assures that there will be no delays. Currently, that is, from 1.01. 2018, the cost of living in the Russian Federation is 11,163 rubles. The size of the minimum wage remains at the same level - 9489 rubles. It should be remembered that these figures are federally averaged, but in fact - the minimum. By regions, the amounts of the minimum wage and the subsistence minimum may vary in the direction of their increase.
Based on the size of the minimum wage, women can apply for the minimum amount of payments:
To determine the average daily earnings, the minimum wage is multiplied by the number of months in a year and divided by 730. The result of the arithmetic operation will be the sum monthly allowance in accordance with the MOT.
Naturally, such a spread in the minimum and maximum amount of benefits for pregnancy and subsequent childbirth raises many questions that need to be answered.
The process of calculating payments has not changed, and depends on how much the fair sex had before pregnancy and childbirth, taking into account 2014 and 2015.
There are two types of payment calculation:
As a general rule, the calculation is based on the salary of a woman who will draw up benefits for pregnancy and subsequent childbirth, as well as caring for her child, for the last two years of work.
But there are cases when a woman worked at her last place of work for less than two years, or has no work experience at all, then the social protection authorities take the payments.
It is important to know that not only women who worked at the time of caring for a child can count on receiving payments.
The payment calculation process will be as follows.
It is important to know that if a woman worked two jobs, then the average daily earnings will be calculated for each job separately.
For individual entrepreneurs, the rules of the above calculation are adjusted taking into account real earnings(income) that was submitted to the authorities tax office, as well as from the annual mandatory amount that the individual entrepreneur pays to the authorities social insurance.
If a woman, at the time of maternity leave and parental leave, has not had a job for two years, then she is entitled to payment from the social protection authorities. Its size will be determined by this body, but, unfortunately, the payment itself will be the minimum established for this year.
Despite the fact that at the time of receiving parental leave, not all women have seniority and work in various enterprises and institutions, most of them are entitled to the above social benefit, namely the allowance for pregnancy and subsequent childbirth, as well as child care.
The payment for child care will be made from the following funds.
It is important to know that according to current regulations, in order to count on a good amount of maternity, it is best to be employed and receive a good income. Individual entrepreneurs women who work independent earnings, can also count on the maximum amount of maternity leave, but for this they must show their income and pay all mandatory taxes, payments and contributions.
After a woman finds out about her pregnancy, the process of issuing maternity leaves begins.
It consists of the following steps.
After leaving the hospital, you need to start taking leave to care for your child. There is a small subtlety here.
It is important to know that only a woman can apply for a sick leave for the birth of a child, and any member of the family (child's father, grandmother, grandfather) can take leave to care for her child. But the payments due will be processed and paid only to the mother of the child.
To apply for a vacation, you must provide an extract from the hospital, a birth certificate of the child at the place of demand (for work, employment service, educational institution). After that, write a corresponding application.
The maximum amount of maternity leave, compared to 2015, was increased, as it was indexed by 11 percent, as required by law. In this regard, the upper threshold is about 215 thousand rubles, and the lower one does not exceed 26 thousand rubles.

During the period of parental leave, one of the parents loses his or her monthly income and cannot earn. To compensate for lost income, the employee is entitled to a child care allowance. This compensation payment is due until the child reaches 1.5 years. In 2018, the maximum amount is 24548.6 rubles per month.
The maximum value of the benefit for caring for a child up to 1.5 years has not been established by law, that is, it does not have a fixed amount. Meanwhile, every year the limit increases upwards.
According to Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Federal Law-255, the amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot be more than the limit values \u200b\u200bof the basis for accrual in the FSS for the 2 years preceding the year of birth of the child, divided by 730.
In this way, maximum value earnings are calculated as the sum of the limits of the base for the calculation of contributions to the FSS for the previous 2 years / 730.
Changed in 2018 billing period to determine benefits in maximum size. The marginal income base for the assessment of contributions for 2016-2017 is now taken into account.
In 2016, social insurance contributions to the FSS for employees were paid until such time as his earnings reached 718 thousand rubles. In 2017, this value has already increased to 755 thousand rubles. For comparison: in 2017, income for 2015-2016 was taken into account, and then the limits were 670 and 718 thousand rubles. respectively.
To calculate the maximum benefit, it is always assumed that the number of days in the previous 2 years is 730 (although in fact in 2016-2017 there were 731).
Thus, the maximum daily earnings amounted to 2017.81 rubles. (718000+75000)/730. With this in mind, the maximum value of the child care allowance in 2018 will be 24,536.57 rubles. (2017.81*30.4*40%). In 2017, the maximum allowance amounted to 23,120.66 rubles.
How does the rule apply? maximum allowance on practice? For example, when calculating, it turned out that the average daily earnings exceeded 2017.81 rubles. This means that regardless of her actual earnings, a woman will receive 24,536.57 rubles for child care.
The allowance in the maximum amount in 2018 is due to a woman whose average monthly income for 2016-2017 amounted to or exceeded 61341.4 rubles. (2017.81*30.4).
Let's give an example of calculation. The woman wrote for parental leave in 2018. For 2016 her total income amounted to 856 thousand rubles, for 2017 - 955 thousand rubles. These values are more than the established limits of 718 and 755 thousand rubles. Therefore, amounts in excess of the limits are not included in the calculations. A woman is entitled to a childcare allowance in the amount of the maximum, namely 24,536.57 rubles. It is worth noting that it is this amount that she will receive all, it will not change in 2019.
In some regions with difficult conditions (in the Far North), there are different wages that are set at the federal level. In other regions, there may be different co-payments for young families with a new baby.
But the maximum amount of child care allowance is the same for the whole country and in 2018 is 24548.6 rubles. Different regional coefficients are not applied to it (they can only be used to calculate minimum allowance). A woman will not receive more than this amount of benefits, regardless of the place of her actual residence.
This is due to the fact that the established limits on earnings for the calculation of contributions to the Social Insurance Fund are valid throughout the country.
The algorithm for applying for a child care allowance in the maximum amount will not differ in any way from the one that must be followed when applying for an allowance in the general case. A woman must adhere to the following sequence:
Thus, the maximum allowance for child care up to 1.5 years is legally established. In 2018, it is 24548.6 rubles: a woman will not receive more than this amount, regardless of what her official income was. This amount of the allowance is determined taking into account the limits in force when determining the amount of contributions to the Social Insurance Fund. In 2018, the limits for 2016-2017 are taken into account.

In a crisis, reorganize and a large number of small and medium enterprises, and large enterprises forced to cut staff in order to optimize wages.

The main Russian law No. 1032-1 on the unemployed was adopted back in 1991, but it is still relevant today. By law, the unemployed who need state support are entitled to cash benefits. At the same time, the law defines who the unemployed are: these are people of working age who are not officially employed, but who want to find work. Registration at the labor exchange is a prerequisite.
Labor exchange specialists independently decide on recognizing a person as unemployed, as a result of which they undertake to find a suitable job for him.
In the meantime, a job is not found, some monetary compensation is paid to the unemployed. Before assigning a benefit, applicants are offered vacancies available in the bases of employment centers. So, according to the law, they are not entitled to benefits: 
If a citizen was fired no later than a year ago, and at the same time he worked 26 weeks (on a full-time basis or in terms of), the amount of the benefit is determined as a percentage of (for the last 3 months of work):
The dynamics of size changes over the past 12 years can be seen in the table:
| Period | Minimum (rub) | Maximum (rub) | Maximum (annual average, in dollars) |
| 2007 | 720 | 2880 | 112,6 |
| 2008 | 781 | 3124 | 125,7 |
| 2009 | 850 | 4900 | 154,5 |
| 2010 | 850 | 4900 | 161,3 |
| 2011 | 850 | 4900 | 164,7 |
| 2012 | 850 | 4900 | 157,6 |
| 2013 | 850 | 4900 | 153,9 |
| 2014 | 850 | 4900 | 150 |
| 2015 | 850 | 4900 | 75,9 |
| 2016 | 850 | 4900 | 61,3 |
| 2017 | 850 | 4900 | 82,5 |
| 2018 | 850 | 4900 | 85 |
As can be seen from the table, from 2009 to 2018, the allowance did not increase - 
Each citizen who has become registered with the territorial employment center is entitled to the payment of unemployment benefits. Its size, terms, conditions of appointment depend on many factors and are regulated by the head of the Law "On Employment in the Russian Federation".
The minimum and maximum allowance for each year is established by the Government of the Russian Federation. The amount of unemployment benefits in 2019 has changed for the first time in 10 years.
With regards to pre-retirement age, the picture looks like this:
There are two ways to determine the amount of benefits: non-calculated and calculated.
When the amount of social benefits depends on the average wage in the last 3 months before the date of dismissal from the last place of work on the basis of a certificate of salary from the enterprise.
However, strict conditions must be met:
| what condition | condition description |
| duration of employment before being taken into account in the employment service | the claimant must Last year before contacting the employment center, work out:
|
| what should be the job before dismissal |
|
| grounds for dismissal | rupture of labor relations should not be associated with a violation of labor discipline, other offenses that entail dismissal at the will of the employer |
When calculating the amount of assistance, only the legal salary is taken into account, so if the main income was “in an envelope”, you cannot count on large amounts (see).
The amount of benefits paid depends on the specific period:
As you can see, the allowance is paid within 6 months. However, there is an exception for pre-pensioners:
The amount of average earnings is determined on the basis of a certificate from the last workplace for the last 3 three months. Employees of the employment service independently determine the level of the average salary.
The amount of assistance is calculated in such a way as to encourage a person to seek new job without waiting for the expiration of the accrual of funds. But always the amount of payments should not go beyond the maximum (8,000 rubles and 11,280 rubles for citizens of the pre-retirement period) and the minimum (1,500 rubles) threshold. The regional coefficient is added to the upper and lower thresholds (for residents with harsh climate conditions).
In this case, the allowance is assigned in the minimum amount without any reference to the citizen's income.
Here total amount increases by a district coefficient depending on the specific place of residence and can reach the value "2". The coefficient is set to the minimum and maximum size. On the territory of Russia, not all regions apply the coefficient. For example, it is not in the Krasnodar Territory, Astrakhan, Moscow, Volgograd Regions, etc.
For benefits, a person can come to the employment service at any time. In his interests, the sooner he does it, the better. Since if a significant period passes, for example, more than six months, despite the validity of the reason, then the amount of the benefit will only be minimal.
In the case of liquidation / reduction of staff, then if the dismissed employee registers as unemployed within 2 weeks, then average monthly salary the employer will pay 3 months, instead of the two required.
The allowance is assigned simultaneously with the registration of the unemployed no later than 11 days from the date of submission of the application to the Employment Center. What a decision is made, with which the unemployed is introduced against signature.
If a citizen believes that the amount of the benefit has been unfairly underestimated, then he can appeal this in court. If you file a claim only on the issue of the amount of the allowance, then this will not concern the registration itself and will not worsen the situation of the citizen.
But employment service workers have got their hands on the correctness of calculations and rarely make mistakes.
If a person was fired due to the liquidation of the company or to reduce the staff (headcount), then the accrual begins immediately after the expiration of the period during which the average earnings according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (from 2 to 3 months).
After the expiration of this time, a person does not lose the status of unemployed, but he is no longer entitled to any assistance.
However, a subsequent appeal to the employment center is allowed if a person finds a job and works for a significant time.
Art. 32 of the Law provides for grace periods for the payment of assistance. If a person has not reached the pre-retirement age and has an appropriate insurance period (20 years for a woman and 25 years for a man) or preferential length of service, then for each year of the length of service exceeding the initial values, the period of assistance increases by 14 days. Wherein general term payments cannot exceed 2 years within 36 months. Let's consider the situation with an example.
For example: a 51-year-old woman has 27 years of insurance experience. In this case, she can receive money for 14 weeks more, that is, 12 months plus 14 weeks ((27-20) X 2 weeks). As a result, assistance will not be paid for a year, as provided general rules but just over 15 months.
The allowance is paid according to the principle of 1 allowance per month during the allowable calendar period, regardless of how much money needs to be paid in the end.
Art. 35 of the Law provides for a number of cases when the payment of assistance may be suspended:
In such cases, the administration of the service, as a sanction, may decide to suspend the payment of assistance. for up to 1 month.
The consequences for a person will not be desirable, since benefits are not paid during the suspension, and the total payment period will run.
For a number of actions, the payment of assistance to the unemployed is terminated, and the citizen himself is excluded from the register with the employment service. This happens if:
In addition, in some cases, the payment of assistance is also not made, but this period is not included in the total period during which the state is obliged to pay assistance:
It is wrong to think that the unemployed person will receive the established average amount of benefits until he finds a job. maybe reduction of funds received by a quarter, if:
Please note that the employment service is obliged to notify the unemployed of the sanctions. To do this, a citizen can be sent a letter with a list of attachments, which guarantees that the unemployed person has familiarized himself with the decision of the employment service. If a person does not agree with the decision made by the administration, then he can appeal it in court.
The legislation establishes the maximum and minimum amounts of the maternity allowance (M&R). You can read about the maximum amount of such a benefit in. Here we will talk about its minimum size.
As you know, the amount of maternity pay depends, among other things, on the average daily earnings of an employee. At the same time, if it turns out that the average salary of an employee per each full month of the billing period is less than the minimum wage, then in order to calculate the B&R benefit, the amount of earnings is assumed to be 24 minimum wages (part 1.1, article 14 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ ). Maternity, calculated on the basis of the minimum wage, and are considered minimal.
Recall that the value of the minimum wage is taken on the date of occurrence insured event, that is, on the date the employee leaves on maternity leave.
To determine the minimum amount of the BiR benefit, if the decree began in 2018, it matters when exactly this vacation began. After all, before 05/01/2018, the minimum wage has one meaning (9489 rubles), and after this date - another (11163 rubles).
So, if the decree began before 05/01/2018, then the minimum average daily earnings will be 311.97 rubles. (9489 rubles x 24 / 730). Accordingly, the minimum amount of the B&R benefit under a standard decree (lasting 140 days) will be 43,675.80 rubles. (311.97 rubles x 140 days).
If the decree began on 05/01/2018 and later, then the minimum average daily earnings will be 367 rubles. (11,163 rubles x 24/730), and the minimum allowance for a 140-day decree is 51,380 rubles. (367 rubles x 140 days).
Keep in mind that if the length of service of an employee going on maternity leave is less than 6 months, then the B&R allowance is paid to her in an amount not exceeding the minimum wage for a full calendar month (
