Premiums in Gazprom. How much do Gazprom get: myths and reality. Social guarantees from the company

Pros at work

The salary is paid without delay, and it is higher for electricians of Relay Protection and Automation (RPA) and for electricians of High Voltage Tests and Measurements (HVI) working in GAZPROM than for their fellow engineers working in rural Electric Networks. Therefore, adjusting engineers, engineers of RZA and VVI from "mundane" enterprises easily and with pleasure go to work in the "heavenly" enterprise GAZPROM as simple electricians, exposing the Unified Energy System of Russia ...

Negative sides

1. The management of GAZPROM does not understand that without electricity there will be no gas, no condensate, no oil! There will be only darkness, cold, and the chatter of teeth in the cold darkness. 2. The management of GAZPROM does not understand that among all electric power engineers, the most competent and best prepared for any electrical troubles and electrical disasters are engineers of RELAY PROTECTION and AUTOMATION (RZA) and engineers of HIGH-VOLTAGE TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS (HVI), as well as engineers - OPERATORS who combine the work of RPA and VVI. It is on these specialists, in fact, that the entire electric power industry in our country, and in GAZPROM in particular, rests. 3. The management of GAZPROM does not understand that it is impossible to save on the salaries of the above specialists of RZA, VVI and Start-up and Adjustment. Instead of engineers, the management of GAZPROM "for reasons of economy" recruits ELECTRICIANS with a rank not higher than the 5th or 6th. It is clear to any competent power engineer, head of an electrical shop or power grid service, that no electrician will ever cope with the duties of a relay protection and air defense engineer. Therefore, in order not to ruin the energy sector, SECRETLY FROM THE MANAGEMENT OF GAZPROM, yesterday's ENGINEERS-ADJUSTMENT ENGINEERS, RZA and VVI of all categories from the 3rd to the leading engineer are taken to work as "simple" ELECTRICIANS of the 5th and 6th category and impressive work experience. 4. The management of GAZPROM does not understand that in order to prevent accidents in the electric power industry and the collapse of the entire energy system, it is IMPOSSIBLE to hire "thieves" to work in RZA, VVI, ETL, PETL, MSRZAI, MSIZPI and similar services and workshops. Moreover, idiots should not be put in charge of the heads of these services and workshops and direct their activities for the sake of the momentary benefit of some high boss !!! 5. And since the management of GAZPROM does not understand the specifics of the work of the RZA, VVI and SETUP specialists, does not agree with the fact that it is IMPOSSIBLE to stick "thieves", "relatives" and "persons close to the emperor" there, then it was decided to these specialists to do the most low wages compared to all other shops and services, lowering the electricians of RZA, VVI and Adjustments below the plinth. PARADOX: HOW TO FIND AND REMOVE ACCIDENTS, RESTORE ANCIENT ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, START NEW OR THE MOST RESPONSIBLE ENERGY FACILITIES, GIVE WRITTEN CONCLUSIONS TO ENERGY SUPERVISION AND SEND REPORTS-PROTOCOLS TO CONSUMERS RZA and VVI - the latest! !! Any wrench and oiler, who carries only 3 wrenches with him all his life and never answers for anything and thinks about nothing, receives a salary higher than relay workers and testers !!! GAZPROM MANAGEMENT, WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?

There are many myths and legends about the level of salaries and material support at Gazprom in Russia. They are especially warmed up by a wide variety of reports in the media: either a cleaner’s handbag will be stolen for big money, or a golden toilet bowl will be found from the driver. Therefore, many are convinced that even laborers in the company receive almost millions of dollars a month. Although in reality this is not entirely true.

At the same time, it would be naive to believe that the income of the employees of the gas monopoly is comparable to the earnings of employees from other areas, even in Moscow. The oil and gas industry itself is already profitable, and if we talk about shift work in the North, then only the rate is automatically doubled (this provision is provided for by the current legislation), not to mention the presence of all kinds of indexations, compensations, benefits and other things. Today we will talk about the salaries received by Gazprom employees in the north and in other regions, depending on the position they hold.

How much does a company's management earn?

Starting to talk about the income of employees of the organization, you first need to find out how much the management team receives. Many are interested in the question, what is the salary of the head of the gas monopoly Alexei Miller and the entire top management of the company. Of course, earnings here are simply cosmic, compared with many other residents of our country.

In total, about 200 million rubles a month are allocated to the company's budget for the payment of wages to representatives of the board. By simple mathematical operations, you can find out that one of the leaders of the company receives about 12,000,000 rubles. per month. This amount is more than the average income of ordinary Russians by about 330 times. Alexey Miller has a similar income. Multiply 12 million by 12 months and you get about 144 million rubles a year. Who wouldn't want to earn that much?

However, it should be noted that the salary at Gazprom is far from the only source of income for Alexei Miller.

He is also paid money and subsidiaries of the structure of the gas monopoly, where he is a member of the Board of Directors. The reliable amount that Miller manages to get is unknown to anyone except himself and some people close to him.

Of course, an ordinary Russian can only dream of such income. However, in other positions in the company, you can also get good money. How much do employees in lower positions receive? Let's talk about this next.

Income of workers and lower managers

Gazprom is a very rich company, and it does not skimp on the salaries of its employees. Indeed, the income level of citizens employed in the organization is much higher than the national average, regardless of whether they work in the North or in our latitudes. Consider the dynamics of salary increases in the company in recent years:

  • 2008 - 44,000 rubles;
  • 2012 - 95,000 rubles;
  • 2015 - 110,000 rubles;
  • 2017 - 150,000 rubles.
  • 2018. — 160,000 rubles.

Data for 2019 is not yet available, so you will have to be content with information from previous years. It is unlikely that the situation has changed dramatically in the first months of this year. However, in general average income employees of Gazprom is a very relative concept. The average wage does not show who earns a lot and who earns a little. This takes into account both top management with their income, as we talked about above, and cleaners or drivers, whose income is relatively low. However, even this statistic helps us understand that the average earnings in the company are at a fairly high level.

So, who is the core of the company? 17 top managers account for thousands of workers and managers, occupying a wide variety of positions in the company's structure. How much do they earn? Consider the income of representatives of some professions.

  1. Middle manager - about 300,000 rubles.
  2. Head of the section - about 200,000 rubles.
  3. Driller - about 200,000 rubles.
  4. Secretary - up to 120,000 rubles.
  5. Handyman - from 80,000 rubles.

Thus, even unskilled workers in Gazprom receive an income that is 2.5 times higher than average earnings the inhabitants of our country. However, some features should also be noted. For example, if an employee intends to work on a rotational basis, his income will be doubled, up to 160,000 rubles. In addition, employees of the gas monopoly receive all sorts of benefits and bonuses for working in the Far North. In particular, there is a special calculation of seniority, which means that they have the right to retire earlier than the main share of Russians. It should be noted that other groups of employees of the organization have wages not less than the average income of the inhabitants of our country. Exceptions to this rule are quite rare.

Should we expect an increase?

Unfortunately, a possible salary increase for the employees of the organization in 2018 does not too often fall into the funds. mass media. However, Deputy Finance Minister Tatyana Nesterenko recently said that the lack of appropriate economic reforms could be a huge problem for years to come. Therefore, funds to increase the income of employees state company may simply not be found. The current situation in the Russian economy, according to Nesterenko, is similar to the epicenter of a storm, where sooner or later there will be a swirl. And you need to be ready for this. The Deputy Head of the Ministry of Finance noted that the efficiency of the work of the inhabitants of Russia should be increased. The best incentive for this will be the subsequent increase in wages, which will occur after overcoming the crisis.

However, Gazprom is far beyond the financial storm. Despite the fact that the company's profit has declined slightly, there are no particular problems with stability. Accordingly, the policy of the gas monopolist regarding its own personnel will most likely remain the same. Top managers of the organization have already made statements in the press that the income of Gazprom employees in 2019 will increase, albeit slightly. Tentatively, employees of the gas monopoly will receive 5-7% more salaries than in 2018. The money for this is already included in the company's budget. The leaders of Gazprom, despite all the financial troubles, are doing everything to ensure that the income of employees grows.

Everyone knows that Gazprom - dreams come true. Do all employees of the company have dreams of high pay and promising work come true? What is the actual salary at Gazprom and what position do you need to have in order to live in abundance?

public joint-stock company Gazprom is a Russian commercial company, more than 50% of whose shares are owned by the state. Initially, when the corporation was founded in 1989, the organization was planned as state enterprise, but later, in 1993, due to privatization, it was transformed into a JSC.

At the moment, Gazprom is a monopoly in the production and sale of oil and gas in Russian Federation with several subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2017, the organization has 469,600 employees, from senior management to janitors and cleaners.

Of these, 248.8 thousand people are workers, 151.3 thousand people are specialists and employees, and 66 thousand people are managers.

Number of PJSC Gazprom employees at the end of 2018

Gazprom is not only the undisputed leader in the gas sector, but also an employer offering its employees the best working conditions, fully complying with labor laws. This means that there can be no question of any “gray” salary, and the entire social package will be provided in 100% volume.

Since this monopolist is the leader, the salaries there look different: even a janitor who cleans Gazprom's premises can have a salary 2 times higher than his other colleagues. But this factor depends on many nuances: work schedule, length of service, region of residence, etc.

According to official RAS data, in the first half of 2019, the income of board members, and there are 14 of them, amounted to 791 million rubles. This is two times lower than last year. The main reason for this situation is the severe economic condition organizations. Consequently, in 6 months each manager received 56.5 million rubles, and only 9.4 million per month.

The structure of the company divides all personnel into 3 groups with the corresponding income:

  • the lower link - from 7 to 30 thousand rubles - workers, maintenance personnel;
  • middle link - from 30 to 300 thousand rubles - specialists, top managers, heads of departments;
  • the top level - from 300 thousand to 56 million rubles - members of the board and lower managers.

Therefore, the average income in the company, respectively, is divided into 3 groups:

  • the lower link - about 20 thousand rubles a month;
  • middle link - about 170 thousand rubles a month;
  • the highest level - about 28 million rubles a month.

But we must not forget that average salary is calculated by dividing the total income of all employees in the corresponding link by their total number. So, for example, to determine the average income in the lower link, the wages of a cleaning lady, who receives very little money, and an instrument controller, whose income can be 2-3 times higher than the previous indicator, are taken.

Distribution of PJSC Gazprom employees by categories

How the salary is formed in the company

The remuneration of an employee or manager at Gazprom is not only a fixed monthly salary.

In accordance with the Sectoral Tariff Agreement for the Electric Power Industry of the Russian Federation for 2019-2021, to which PJSC Gazprom is a party, these are:

Therefore, in order to get a prestigious position at Gazprom, you do not need to specialize in being a gas worker or an oil producer. It is enough to check open vacancies, analyze the market and choose the direction that the company needs and you yourself like.

Salary by category of personnel

The average wage in a joint-stock company producing oil and gas is higher than wages in other enterprises and fields of activity. The corporation practices not only full compliance with the labor legislation of the Russian Federation, but also all kinds of material incentives workers. One of the main ways is the payment of bonuses, which can reach 50% of the salary for workers and 75% for management positions.

You also need to remember that the salary at the enterprise consists not only of the salary. There are various coefficients that increase monthly income specialist.

The size of these boost units depends on:

  • places of work in central office, Moscow, St. Petersburg, in the North or in other cities;

  • position - service personnel or management.

Management and administrative staff

The management of the company and its administrative staff are as follows:

  • board of directors - management;
  • CEO, head of department, top managers - administrative staff.

If you add up all the salaries and bonuses indicated in the company's management income reports for the year, then the amount comes out to 2.17 million rubles. The Board of Directors for 2019 includes 17 people, therefore, each of them receives approximately 10.6 million rubles a month, taking into account all allowances, bonuses and incentive payments.

But some of the Council have more than one source of income. So, for example, the chairman PJSC board Alexey Miller works not only in the main organization, but also in some of its subsidiaries. For example, according to Forbes magazine, in 2016 he earned $ 17.7 million, in rubles for 2016 - 1.3 billion.

This amount includes all allowances and bonuses paid on holidays and for labor merits. In a month, his earnings amounted to 105.5 million rubles. At the moment, after the stormy reaction of the media and the population to the published numbers, the official income of Alexei Miller is not advertised.

Top managers, according to the company, receive a salary of about 36.9 million dollars a year, in rubles for 2019 this is 2.4 billion. There are 76 people on the list, therefore, each of them receives about 2.5 million rubles in month. If someone works additionally in subsidiaries"Gazprom", then he receives a plus of another 2 million rubles a month.

Salaries of managers and administrative staff at PJSC Gazprom

Oil and gas production workers and specialists

Below the management team are those employees who are engaged in oil and gas production, as well as those who regulate their activities. For example, this link includes the following professions.

As you can see, even an ordinary secretary, working in the prestigious office of Gazprom, is able to receive such wages that his colleagues can only dream of. For example, in other companies secretaries receive 5 times less.

Example wages similar jobs in other companies

The same situation is with other vacancies. For example, the usual salary of a handyman in other companies rarely exceeds 20 thousand rubles, when in a joint-stock company this figure is equal to 100 thousand rubles a month.

Other personnel

The bottom link is occupied by vacancies that are considered to be the service personnel of the enterprise. These include:

  • cleaners;
  • wipers;
  • guards;
  • drivers;
  • maids;
  • tankers;
  • network crawlers;
  • dispatchers;
  • repairmen, etc.

Occupying such a position, you can not even dream of high pay. Usually these workers receive salaries approximately equal to the average in Russia.

Is the salary different in subsidiaries

The monopolist in the field of oil and gas production has many subsidiaries throughout the country, about 200 units.

Here are some of them:

  • OOO Gazprom Transgaz Volgograd;
  • OOO Gazprom Transgaz Yekaterinburg;
  • OOO Gazprom Transgaz Krasnodar;
  • OOO Gazprom Transgaz Makhachkala;
  • OOO Podzemgazprom;
  • "Gazprom Mezhregiongaz";
  • Gazprom Transgaz Yugorsk.

Due to the fact that these companies are subsidiaries, the remuneration of employees in them differs significantly from the main enterprise. For example, a driller main organization they promise a salary of about 80 thousand rubles, but in a branch this figure can be 2 times less.

Example of wages in subsidiaries PJSC companies Gazprom

An example of salaries in subsidiaries of PJSC Gazprom

Allowances and bonuses

A public joint stock company complies with all the principles of not only the Russian labor law, but also international standards based on ILO Conventions. All questions about freedom of association, remuneration, duration and conditions of work, as well as remuneration for quality work, social insurance and others are resolved only within the framework of the law.

The employee incentive system combines material and non-financial incentives aimed at attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, as well as increasing the interest of workers in the results of their work. This system includes the following:

  • official salaries;
  • tariff rates taking into account the qualifications of the employee;
  • bonuses for the results of work during the month and year;
  • one-time bonus - 13th salary;
  • cash reward based on performance;
  • employee incentive system with state awards of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation and PJSC Gazprom.

The 13th salary is an additional payment in the amount of 150-300% of the fixed salary. It depends on the official length of service, length of service and the region. For example, to find out earnings, it is necessary to multiply the salary by the following coefficients, if they are provided for by the terms of the contract:

  • Tyumen and Orenburg region - 1.15;
  • Tomsk region - 1.3-1.7;
  • Yamal-Nenets autonomous region - 1,7-1,8;
  • Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - 1.7.

Consequently, if the official salary of an employee is 50 thousand rubles, then, taking into account work in Tyumen, his level of payment will increase to 57.5 thousand rubles a month.

To motivate the management team, the following are provided:

  • an annual bonus system for meeting general corporate and individual indicators, for example, for reducing the cost of purchasing goods and services, increasing sales, etc.;
  • program of participation of managers in the authorized capital of the corporation.

Social guarantees from the company

In addition to high wages and many financial incentives, employees are guaranteed a wide social package, which includes:

  • Basic medical insurance, from doctors' consultations to treatment, if necessary, in leading Russian clinics.
  • Accident insurance.
  • Increased benefit in case of temporary disability of employees.
  • Providing social leave if necessary.
  • Compensation for spa treatment.
  • Material payments for family events: the birth of children, the death of relatives, marriage, etc.
  • Mortgage from Gazprom: the base rate is 12% for 20 years, and after the birth of the 3rd child, the company pays 50% of the loan amount to the bank. Taking into account all compensations, employees of the organization can take a mortgage at 5% per annum.
  • Non-state pension.
  • Opportunities are open for children of employees to visit private kindergartens and secondary educational institutions.
  • Visiting sports facilities, swimming pools, gyms with discounts.

Of course, all these privileges will be available to specific employees, the conditions must be discussed directly with your employer. But such a system of benefits in the organization exists and is available.

Pension provision

After working at Gazprom for 15 years, each employee is entitled to a non-state pension, which ranges from 10 to 40% of the employee's official earnings. But this system received extremely negative feedback. For example, the financial and economic magazine Forbes says:

"The non-state pension fund Gazfond, which manages pension reserves, was ranked second from the bottom in terms of the profitability of pension reserves for five years - from 2013 to 2017."

Based federal law No. 400 dated December 28, 2013 "On insurance pensions" and "Lists of industries, jobs, professions, positions and indicators giving the right to preferential pension provision", employees of the corporation holding positions in harmful and dangerous working conditions - climatic conditions, work directly with gas and oil production, are entitled to early retirement, including insurance, subject to certain conditions:

  • the required amount of work or insurance experience - from 20 to 25 years in the relevant types of work, depending on the profession;
  • reaching a certain age - usually 55 years;
  • work in special conditions work permitting early retirement.

Therefore, working in a prestigious enterprise and receiving a “white” salary, you have the right to receive a decent pension on the basis of which you can not only live, but live in pleasure.

How to get to Gazprom

PJSC Gazprom is a global monopoly operating throughout Russia and in some foreign countries. For the success of the enterprise, its leaders place the main stake on their employees, since the process of working with oil and gas is very complex and dangerous.

All employees participate in social policy corporation, which is aimed at social security and motivation of workers for long-term and efficient work in the company. In return for the benefits and protection provided, the Board of Management requires from its subordinates special knowledge and skills that can bring profit to the organization and the worker himself.

In order for gas to get to the consumer, it goes a long and long way: from a well in a field to a gas pipeline, then it must go great amount kilometers. At each stage of work, one hundred percent consistency and accurate work of all specialists is needed. Therefore, each of them must be a professional in his field.

Each type of worker has its own requirements, for example:

  • the applicant for a managerial position must have the appropriate knowledge in personnel management, the concept of the psychology of subordinates, as well as a suitable higher education;
  • the applicant for the middle link of the company must also have related knowledge, both practical and theoretical;
  • to a person who wants to work as service personnel, strong requirements are not put forward: most often they look at his work experience, if it is important for the position, physical fitness, for example, for the position of a security guard, as well as the presence of minimal related knowledge.

In order for Gazprom to receive new highly qualified specialists, there are 17 universities throughout Russia that are a partner of the organization:

  • Kazan National Research Technological University;
  • Moscow State Technical University them. N. E. Bauman (National Research University);
  • Moscow State University them. M. V. Lomonosov;
  • National Research University " graduate School economy";
  • National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University;
  • Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University) I. M. Gubkin;
  • St. Petersburg Mining University;
  • St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University;
  • St. Petersburg State University of Economics;
  • St. Petersburg Polytechnic University of Peter the Great;
  • Tyumen Industrial University;
  • Ufa State Oil Technical University;
  • Ukhta State Technical University;
  • Graduate School of Management of St. Petersburg State University;
  • State University of Sea and River Fleet named after Admiral S. O. Makarov;
  • Northeastern federal university named after M. K. Ammosov;
  • St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI" V. I. Ulyanov (Lenin).

There are also two secondary vocational educational institutions:

  • ChPOU "Gazprom College Volgograd";
  • ChPOU "Gazprom technical school Novy Urengoy".

Every year, the affiliates and the most important public joint-stock company hold events aimed at selecting the most promising students who can give the company the maximum.

In general, without going into each profession, all future employees are expected to:

  • Availability vocational education and qualifications;
  • work experience in a similar position or an average score according to grades from a diploma, which must be at least 4.75;
  • if required, a driver's license, knowledge of English or another foreign language;
  • availability of technical knowledge about work equipment, computer, etc.;
  • the presence of certain personal qualities - self-discipline, diligence, the desire for professional and self-development.

Will there be a salary increase?

The company has a local regulation that guarantees all employees an annual increase in wages based on rising inflation in the Russian Federation. If the real incomes of the population of the country begin to fall, then the workers in PJSC Gazprom will raise their salaries by the amount of the reduction.

In addition, each employee can raise earnings individually, based on his professional merits: long work experience, increased labor productivity, 100% fulfillment of the plan and tasks, etc. Some of the nuances regarding the salary increase are prescribed in the employment contract.

Gazprom is not just a business, it is an organization on whose work the entire well-being of the country depends. It employs those who have exceptional knowledge and skills, bringing their owners a lot of money, and themselves - decent earnings, benefits and various privileges. But how much they earn at Gazprom in specific positions depends on the employee himself. Strict requirements are put forward for employees, as the company needs only professionals.

Do you want the truth? Then read. I worked for 10 years in the administration of Gazprom in the production department. Talking about salaries at Gazprom is not even about the average temperature in the hospital. When I quit in 2016, the salary was slightly above 100. Surcharges - by February 23 for men, by March 8 for women, for vacation, for the day of the gas worker, for the New Year (not always) according to the salary. 13th, depending on the length of service 1-2 salary. Compensation for vouchers - before it was entirely for the family, in 2015 30 sput. Max. That is, it turns out about 6 more salaries per year. For Moscow, the salary is in the region of the average for a skilled worker. Now about the difference. Somehow I accidentally caught the eye of a receipt from the head of the department - a member of the board. There were one hundred times more than a simple chief specialist. Miller had $26 million in 2015 for the year (from the media). This is a THOUSAND times more than the chief specialist. I don’t know how it is with any economists and lawyers, but lawyers have a very high turnover, which means that the salary did not suit them, they went purely to get an entry in work book and dump. About the cleaners. In the Moscow office about 25 sput. Security - "green" - these are private security companies, which are also at about the same level. "Black" - which is the corporate protection service, is much higher, I don’t know the order.
Sotsialka - VMI SOGAZ, its own clinic. From departmental it turned into a private one, at one time the head physician was named Putin. Equipped well, but the qualifications of doctors are not at the highest level. There are good doctors, there are so-so. Lots of thugs. Almost all dentists were brought from St. Petersburg.
Pension - the maximum payment upon retirement - 14 salaries. The pension itself depends on the length of service and salary. With a salary of 100 and an experience of 15 years, it would be about 30 sput. But if at first the pension was for life, now it has been cut to 15 years.
About the thieves. Production workers are mostly cool specialists from the regions. We did not have a single native Muscovite in our management. Each new boss drags his. But, as a rule, these are also specialists in whom he is sure, and they really know the business. If a high boss comes, he tries to put his people in charge, but there is already more of a loyalty factor. There are managers with extremely low qualifications, but this is rather an exception.
There is not a single major manager from St. Petersburg in the production unit, because there you need to know the business and work hard. The Petersburgers control finances, but they are not responsible for the results of their activities, for the efficiency of the gas supply system, but for the production workers.
About regions. Gazprom is not only the north and the watch. Full of daughters in the middle lane, in the Caucasus. A shift engineer who is responsible for the operation of equipment worth billions starts at 20 sput. Head of service 45-50. Therefore, having studied, gained experience and an entry into the labor force, young people often leave, if there is somewhere. If in the area alternative work no, they will pay just to survive.
Northern watches. Yes, salaries are much higher there, but the regime with monthly climate change brings many to the grave even before retirement.
And those north, where there is no shift work, is also not sugar - winter is 8 months, midges devour it in summer. Many families live on the "mainland".
And finally, since about 2013, Gazprom began to be transferred to St. Petersburg, now almost everyone has moved. On Nametkin remained economic services and offices of high officials. I refused to go, sent all these "benefits" to such and such a mother. Which I don't regret at all.
