Under the simplified regime, employment contracts stipulate minimum requirements for the timing of salary payment and the employer's liability for late payment. If such provisions are not specified in the contract, the provisions of current legislation apply.
One of the essential conditions of an employment contract under a simplified regime of regulation of labor relations is the employer's liability for violation of the terms of payment of wages. Therefore, the employment contract provides for the amount of compensation that the employer pays to the employee for each day of delay in payment of wages. Actually, the amount of such compensation is set as a percentage of the amount of wages - tariff rate or salary (official salary).
