The amount of an employee's monthly salary is determined differentially depending on the employee's qualifications, complexity, quantity and quality of work as well as working conditions.
The amount of an employee’s monthly salary worked the full standard working hours for this period and fulfilled work standards or labor duties may not be lower than the minimum monthly salary established for the relevant financial year by law on republican budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The set of a minimum salary
The minimum monthly salary shall not be lower than the subsistence minimum, must include additional payments and allowances, compensation and social payments, bonuses and other incentive payments, and must be paid in proportion to the time worked.
The minimum hourly wage of an employee who has fulfilled his work duties may not be less than the minimum monthly salary divided by the average monthly number of working hours according to the balance of working hours for the relevant calendar year.
The minimum monthly salary or monthly rate of a first-category employee, stipulated by the terms of labor and collective agreements and (or) employer's acts, may not be lower than the minimum monthly salary established for the relevant financial year in accordance with the law on republican budget of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Hourly work payment
The employment agreement and/or the employer's act terms and conditions may set forth the hourly pay of work actually performed during a part-time workday or its partial workload, the use of joint employment, as well as for payment for work of a temporary or one-time nature.
With summarized work time-keeping, the actual number of hours worked according to the shift schedule is done. In this case, the salary is accrued based on the hourly wage rate (job position rate) and monthly work time standard, in accordance with the working time balance for the relevant calendar year.
Salary indexation
In accordance with Article 157 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, one of the provisions of the collective agreement is the provision on salary indexation.
In accordance with labor legislation, both employees and employers may initiate negotiations to revise collective agreements and contractual agreements on equal terms.
Thus, the increase in the salary of employees is carried out through collective negotiations and contractual agreements and agreements concluded between the employee and the employer based on the financial situation of the organization.
