Economist Svetlana Petrova stated that the 13th salary could have a negative impact on Russians.
She believes that companies will likely pass on the costs incurred to workers.
The economist said that such a measure of support for the population is harmful to the economy, as emphasized in the article of the publication “360.ru” .
Petrova predicted that the introduction of the 13th salary will further increase prices in Russia.
She warned that such a measure would have a negative impact on residents.
As a result, companies will shift the costs incurred onto them, the expert emphasized.
She stressed that companies will not retain workers with bonus packages alone. No 13th salary will make a bad worker work better.
A few days earlier, the leader of the party “A Just Russia – For Truth” Sergei Mironov announced the introduction of a mandatory thirteenth salary.
The faction leader suggested that organizations independently decide the issue of paying bonuses.
Mironov also expressed his opinion on the introduction of a 13th salary to increase employee motivation in the context of a shortage of personnel.
