When calculating wages, you can come across such a term as the regional coefficient - this is the name of the indicator of the increase in wages to workers who work in areas with difficult climatic conditions. Workers from different regions of our country live in different climatic conditions, in different socio-economic conditions, to perform the same work they may require different labor costs, in addition, different regions have different tariffs.

Step 1
It is important to note that these factors are applied based on the actual place of work and do not depend on the location of the organization itself, in which the employee is employed.
Step 2
The regional coefficient cannot set the maximum salary limit for an employee, it does not form a salary. Thus, if it is necessary to calculate payments that are formed on the basis of the tariff rate or salary, then the regional coefficient does not need to be taken into account.
Step 3
When is it necessary to take into account the regional coefficient? It is necessary when determining the amount of childcare benefits, when calculating unemployment benefits, when calculating vacation pay, pension accruals, i.e. all calculations that take into account average earnings.
Step 4
The very size of the regional coefficient for employees of organizations of the Far North and equivalent territories is established by the government of the Russian Federation. Moreover, it is mandatory for both public sector organizations and commercial organizations. However, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can set higher coefficients for institutions financed from the local budget.
Step 5
Today, regional coefficients can range from 1, 15 (Omsk, Orenburg regions, etc.) to 2.0 (Kamchatka region, Yakutia, etc.). There is a coefficient equal to 3.0, but it applies only to the workers of the Antarctic expedition.
Step 6
In addition to the regional coefficients themselves, percentage allowances to wages or guarantees or compensation may also be applied.
Step 7
So, how can an employee calculate his salary, taking into account the regional coefficient? To do this, in the regulations on the coefficients, we look at which coefficient is set for a specific region of the Russian Federation. For example, for the Krasnoyarsk Territory it is 1. 8. If the employee's salary is 20,000 rubles, then taking into account the coefficient, his salary will be 20,000 * 1, 8, a total of 36,000 rubles.
Step 8
There is a feature of calculating sick leave payments for employees of organizations. Companies located in the Far North and equivalent areas. When calculating payments, the accounting department must take into account both the regional coefficient and all available allowances. At the same time, the employee, regardless of the length of service, is guaranteed 100% payment for the sheet of temporary incapacity for work. Thus, the accounting department calculates the amount for sick leave (however, this amount has an upper limit, which is also set by a government decree) and multiplies it by the "northern" coefficient.
