Who is entitled to the 13th salary: a lawyer-economist explained when the employer is obliged to pay it
Professor of the Financial University Alexander Safonov explained that the 13th salary is not guaranteed by default: the company's obligation arises only if the annual bonus is enshrined in a collective agreement or a remuneration regulation. The amount and recipients may depend on length of service and performance indicators, and a decision not to award the bonus must be justified.
