Seminar on "Basis for the establishment of civil servants compensation system" was held in Hyatt Regency Hotel in Baku on 17-18 December.

and Social Protection of Population and the International Labor Organization
(ILO).
Speaking at the seminar, Deputy Minister of
Labor and Social Protection of Population Metin Kerimli informed about the
tasks outlined in the Country Program on the Decent Work for 2016-2020 and the
course of their implementation.
First Deputy
Chairman of Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation, Ilyas Aliyev, noted that the
issue raised for discussion plays an important role in the improvement of the
public administration system and the personnel policy. It is important to
increase real wages and pay salaries in line with inflation. He said steps have
been taken in this direction: "According to the results of 9 months of the
current year, the average monthly salary increased by 2.9% compared to the
previous year. This is a good indicator. But by eliminating some of the
existing problems, we can achieve better results. «The solution of these
problems is to bring minimum wage to international standards. I.Aliyev
regretted that the definition of "minimum wage" in the country's legislation
does not conform to the definition set out in the ILO Convention No. 131. In
this regard, we have sent our proposals to the Cabinet of Ministers to amend
the relevant laws.
Ilyas
Aliyev emphasized the need to improve the state compensation system in the
civil service. It recommended that all civil servants and their family members
must be subject to health insurance, and pay for transportation costs when they
go to treatment and recreation.
At the end
of his speech, Aliyev said that Azerbaijan is actively involved in the
development and implementation of relevant laws, state programs within the
framework of its competences. Employee benefits are achieved through field
(tariff) agreements and collective agreements.
