Payments to military personnel upon dismissal: amount, how to receive

Financial support for military personnel is not limited to wages or pension contributions alone. In fact, for any position of a military personnel, the charter provides for payments in the form of incentives and benefits. For ordinary soldiers, such benefits are calculated upon exclusion from the lists of military personnel, in other words, upon dismissal.

Today, the process and procedure for paying financial compensation is regulated by Federal Law dated November 7, 2011, number 306-FZ. However, there is a category of benefits that are deducted exclusively under the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel.”

Payments to military personnel upon dismissal

Below we summarize excerpts from the laws to present the entire list of eligible monetary benefits for former (dismissed) military personnel.

About dismissal from service

Initially, it is worth noting that there are a number of reasons why a soldier may be dismissed from service.

1. Reaching retirement age for military personnel.
2. Organizational and staffing events.
3. Registration of a disability group.
4. Expiration or termination of the contract.

Dismissal from service can occur for various reasons.

The monetary amount of compensation depends on many reasons; therefore, before dismissing an employee, it is necessary to carefully study the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, namely the articles on the dismissal of an employee.

How to calculate payments?

According to the rules for leaving military personnel, the subsidy is indicated by a certain amount from the state. They can count on it:

1. Officers.
2. Contractors.
3. Conscript soldiers.
4. Persons called to training camps.

If we look at the issue in more detail, not everyone can receive money. For some, this privilege is not provided due to certain circumstances. This is usually a violation of the law and contract provisions.

Before settlement day, cases and positions are handed over and calculations are made. Funds depend on length of service and if a citizen served for less than 20 years, then he is entitled to two salaries. If more than twenty, then seven salaries.

If the defender of the homeland conscientiously fulfilled all duties, then he is given a bonus. It is calculated based on time worked. Determined by salary: from five to twenty-five percent for cadets and twenty-five for contract soldiers.

The bonus is accrued along with allowance for one calendar month. An exception may be cases when a citizen has been transferred to his custody or was on a business trip in a foreign country.

general information

Financing of this nature is a kind of assistance to military personnel and officers who have completed their military service. Such support is also provided to the soldier’s family until he finds a new job. There is a payment of benefits upon reaching a certain age (retirement), which is constantly accrued as gratitude for service and loyalty to the Fatherland.

Such funds are allocated from the state budget on the basis of a specially issued order, which, in turn, the military personnel must be familiarized with within the appropriate period. The allocation of payments from the budget for this type of payment is carefully controlled by financiers. In the service record, the unit commander, in a specially designated column under number 12, puts a note about the verification of special documents by financiers.

Payments made are noted in the serviceman's monetary certificate

Attention! An identical entry is made in the certificate. Such a certificate must indicate justified reasons for the allocation of financial payments.

Reasons such as family circumstances and loss of trust

Let's decipher these reasons in more detail with a table:

Regulatory provision "On monetary allowances for military personnel"

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, the payment of benefits to military personnel upon leaving service is summarized by separate laws and orders that do not apply to the civilian population of the country. The law does not establish accrual depending on a number of reasons for dismissal. By characterizing the main components of the regulations, one can draw a logical line, the meaning of which is that a monetary payment can be received by a serviceman who retired from the army by special order or of his own free will.

Attention! If a serviceman had difficulties with the law or with the command, then, as a rule, a refusal to accrue benefits follows.

A one-time payment is a cash benefit that is accrued one-time and is regulated by the legislative framework of Russia. Dismissal of a serviceman upon reaching the age limit does not always imply length of service (a serviceman, in order to retire on the basis of length of service, must have at least twenty years of service). In this regard, the size of all payments is clearly limited by law.

Excerpt from Article 3 of Federal Law No. 306

After dismissal upon reaching retirement age, a serviceman has the right to claim a cash payment in the amount of allowances. If the serviceman’s length of service has not reached 20 years, payment is only due in the amount of two salaries. In the case of twenty or more years of service, one-time monetary compensation is seven times the salary.

In the form of additional components to increase the amount of compensation, the presence of state awards that the serviceman was awarded while serving in the USSR or the Russian Federation is also taken into account. The amount of compensation in this case will be increased by one salary.

Attention! A soldier in conscript service upon transfer to the reserve has the right to claim compensation in the amount of two salaries according to the staffing table.

When calculating payments, the presence of state awards is taken into account

It is important to remember that cash benefits will be denied if:

• the reason for dismissal was a court decision;
• The reason for dismissal was imprisonment.

In the case when a citizen of the Russian Federation remains an orphan, monetary compensation is five salaries according to the staffing table.

The procedure for dismissal from the RF Armed Forces

Expert opinion

Grigoriev Pavel Kirillovich

Head of the department for conscription of citizens for military service of the Russian Federation

Federal Law No. 53 of March 28, 1998 provides for the procedure for dismissal from military service at the end of the contract, the reasons for this are specified in Article 51:

• reaching the service age limit;
• expiration of the contract;
• recognition as limitedly fit for military service or unfit for this;
• deprivation of military rank;
• loss of trust;
• deprivation of liberty or the right to occupy certain positions on the basis of a court decision;
• election to legislative bodies as a deputy;
• termination of Russian citizenship.

The law does not allow foreigners to serve in the RF Armed Forces. However, dual citizenship is not considered grounds for dismissal. But its presence may prevent the continuation of work in individual military units.

It is possible to dismiss a serviceman early, based on the provisions of Article 51 of Federal Law No. 53. There is a list of reasons why the contract may be terminated.

The process of dismissal from service is quite simple; in short, it boils down to the following:

• writing a report;
• collection of necessary documents by the unit commander or other responsible employee;
• conducting an interview with a candidate for dismissal;
• provision of documents confirming the exclusion from the personnel of a specific military unit.

Dismissal is not always associated with termination of military service. Sometimes it is impossible to transfer a citizen from one unit to another. For example, if it belongs to a different branch of the military. Thus, you must first dismiss, and then submit documents to the military registration and enlistment office to sign a new contract.

To do this, you will need a passport and military ID. A reference from a previous place of service can speed up the process of signing a new contract.

Unit command actions

It is necessary to provide procedural rules for the dismissal of a military personnel at the end of the contract. If everything is not done properly, the decision can be appealed in court. Then the serviceman must be reinstated and paid the money due under the contract.

1. collect data on service, calculate length of service and familiarize the serviceman with the data to clarify whether there will be any objections. It is worth paying close attention to the calculation of length of service, since service in some troops is considered 1:1.5 or 1:2. More on this below;
2. conduct a conversation with the serviceman and write down its main points. The data is signed by both parties.

If the unit commander wants to extend the contract, he must notify of his decision three months before the expiration of the current one. Dismissal of a female military personnel is not permitted during pregnancy or while on maternity leave. The contract is automatically extended for the period of incapacity until the child is 1.5 years old.

When serving in the Navy and strategic forces, 1 day goes by 1.5, but only while on combat duty. While in hot spots, military experience is counted double. That is, one day counts as two.

Actions of a serviceman

A serviceman who is about to resign must perform several actions:

1. write a resignation letter addressed to the unit commander;
2. obtain documents confirming exclusion from the workforce.

What regulations govern the payment of benefits upon dismissal?

Cash benefits are established on the basis of Federal Law No. 306-FZ of November 7, 2011.

Article two of Law No. 306 states mandatory accruals and payments of social compensation in accordance with certain factors:

• cash benefits are accrued only to those persons whose service was under contract;
• a one-time benefit is accrued only in the event of dismissal (not related to a court decision or imprisonment).

Excerpt from Article 2 of Federal Law No. 306

Attention! If a serviceman has served for at least twenty years, then the payment amount will be two salaries, if more than twenty years - from seven salaries according to the staffing table.

The greatest dependence of the amount of financial compensation on the soldier’s earnings. The minimum wage for a simple private in the Russian Army is 15,000 rubles. For example, after dismissal, such a private may qualify for compensation in the amount of 30,000 rubles.

Amount of one-time compensation

The procedure for determining the amount of a one-time dismissal benefit is established by Law No. 306-FZ and Order of the Russian Ministry of Defense No. 2700, issued in December 2011 as a supplement to the main law.

The amounts of compensation are not the same for different categories of military personnel.

• A payment of 2 salaries is due to citizens who have served under a contract for less than 20 years; persons retiring after the end of their conscription service period.
• In the amount of 7 salaries - for citizens who have served over 20 years at the end of the contract.

A one-time payment to a retiring military personnel must be made within 1 month from the date of the issuance of the order on removal from duties (clause 185 of Order No. 2700 of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation).

The amount of the benefit will vary for different military positions and ranks, although the procedure for determining it will be the same for everyone. Also, when dismissing persons who have Soviet or Russian awards, the military unit is obliged to additionally pay them a bonus in the amount of 1 salary.

If the contract was concluded before April 2, 2014 and the serviceman decided to retire early, then according to Art. 49 of Law No. 53-FZ, severance pay based on the age limit can be paid if the following conditions are met:

• the military man already has 25 years of work experience, 12.5 years of which must be devoted to military service;
• the citizen is 45 years old.

In 2021, if a person has entered into a new contract, during which he will reach the age limit, or is already a military pensioner, it cannot be terminated without good reason. However, for women, unlike men, extending the age limit is unacceptable. Therefore, a contract can be concluded with them for a shorter period (for example, if a woman is 43 years old, the contract will be concluded for only 2 years).

Whom does the state deprive of monetary compensation?

We will consider on an individual basis the situation of deprivation of the right to claim a one-time benefit payment in connection with the existing group of persons with restrictions.

1. Military personnel who have been stripped of their military rank.
2. Military personnel who received a suspended or real sentence by court decision for a crime committed.
3. Military personnel deprived of the opportunity by court decision to hold a military position.
4. Military personnel transferred to executive bodies: Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSIN, OBNON, FAPSI.
5. The serviceman violated one of the conditions in the contract.
6. The serviceman violated the organization's charter.
7. The serviceman committed violations of the law, a violation of professional competence.

In some cases, a one-time payment upon dismissal is deprived

Attention! If a citizen does not have the opportunity to live in an area suitable for him, the command has the right to transfer him to another duty station. In exceptional cases, voluntary dismissal does not oblige his removal from military service. For example, if a serviceman was officially captured by the enemy.

Grounds, procedure and benefits for dismissal of a military personnel at the end of the contract

• actions that give rise to loss of trust;
• non-compliance with the terms of the contract;
• violation of restrictions on engaging in certain activities (the list is in Federal Law No. 53);
• a sentence of imprisonment or probation for an intentional crime or negligence, as well as a ban by the court from holding certain military positions;
• expulsion from military educational organizations;
• termination of citizenship or acquisition of citizenship of a foreign state;
• gross disciplinary violation (list in clause 2 of article 28.5 of Federal Law No. 76). This may be considered a gross misconduct;
• a severe or ordinary reprimand if there has already been at least one disciplinary punishment;
• due to deprivation of military rank.

• the report is studied by management (submitted 1 month before dismissal);
• measures are taken to verify the reasons specified in the document: certification measures and a medical examination may be prescribed;
• if the decision is positive, the applicant is excluded from the personnel lists;
• the contract soldier receives a work permit;
• at the same time they carry out settlements with him on all issues of monetary allowance;
• draw up the necessary documents and submit them to the military commissariat at the place of registration;
• receiving the order and signing it;
• obtaining a work book;
• may request a 2-NDFL certificate to calculate pension payments.

This is important to know: Benefits upon reaching 80 years of age

Calculation of benefits as part of organizational and staffing activities

One of the few grounds for removal from the lists of military personnel is an event aimed at restructuring a specific unit or in accordance with the provision for its liquidation. With such a dismissal under the OSHM program, an officer or an ordinary soldier has the right to claim benefits. However, before turning to the size of such a benefit, we will consider the most important issues that arise in the process of conducting such an event.

Removal from office under such a program must be recorded with the necessary note in the personal file. This procedure is legal and necessary on the part of the human resources department, since benefit payments are based on supporting documents. The dismissal of this nature itself occurs from the moment the person familiarizes himself with the current order and confirms it with a personal signature.

Sometimes dismissal occurs due to the restructuring of a military unit

For people who were laid off under such a program, the state provided not only social benefits, but also some benefits. For example:

• a citizen has the right, without waiting for the grace period, to issue a pension early;
• The housing issue is resolved out of turn.

Those military personnel whose dismissal fell under the organizational and staffing program receive a one-time benefit payment in the amount of two salaries for less than 20 years of work experience in accordance with the last position held and seven salaries for more than 20 years of work experience. In such cases, the constitutional rights of citizens are not infringed, due to the fact that the amount of compensation is equal to the legally established payment upon dismissal based on length of service. It is impossible to name a fixed amount due to the fact that the amount of monetary compensation consists of net salary, allowances for position and rank. Each service member has different amounts.

The amount of payment depends on the soldier’s salary, rank allowances, awards

There are cases when it is not possible to provide living space to a military personnel or, for some reason, this person is not entitled to it. Then, upon dismissal of a military man, the state pays benefits for hiring costs. Today, this amount is 3,600 rubles per month for all regions of the Russian Federation.

Attention! The exceptions are the cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

When released from office under the OSH program, persons not entitled to a pension benefit are entitled to monthly payments for twelve months. In addition, as an addition to such military personnel, one-time compensation is calculated in different amounts. Let's give examples.

The amount of compensation upon dismissal from a position under the OSH program depends on the length of service

In the legislation of the Russian Federation, there is a separate article No. 141 dated November 11, 2003, which regulates the payment of benefits to persons who left service after a fifteen-year continuous contract. The law states that the state undertakes to pay such military personnel 40% of their wages every month for five years.

Dismissal from military service: retraining and payments at the end of the contract

Another salary is due to persons who have honorary titles and state awards. For conscientious attitude, contract workers are entitled to a bonus of three salaries. In case of violation of the rights of a military man, a citizen has the right to challenge such a decision within three months and receive all due compensation.

1. Collection of information and data about a citizen’s service, including confirmation of all periods of service and information about length of service. This information must be provided to the resigning person.
2. Conducting a conversation with the contractor, the main points of which are documented. All participants in the conversation put a personal signature on the document upon completion of the conversation. The document is attached to the personal file.

Exemption from service for health reasons

When released from duty due to health reasons, military personnel can claim the compensation due to them, which is summarized in the above law. Everything related to the health of a serviceman is decided and considered by a special commission. For example, a person is injured, was wounded or suffered from deteriorating health during the period of service - in this case, the members of the commission give a reasoned conclusion on the prohibition of the military man to serve. Subsequently, the person submits a report with a request to dismiss him at his own request. Such a document must be kept in the employee’s personal file.

Attention! It is important to know what benefits, allowances, compensations, and pensions are available for this category of military personnel. A disability pension payment is assigned only when the competent commission approves a particular group. As in all cases, a military man is awarded a one-time allowance in the amount of double salary if his work experience in military service is less than 20 years, and seven salaries if his work experience is more than 20 years.

If a military man becomes disabled during his service, he is entitled to a disability pension.

In some cases, when a serviceman is recognized by the competent commission as disabled, the state provides paid medical insurance. On average, the amount of such payment ranges from 500 thousand to two million rubles. The wide range of monetary compensation is due to the presence of several disability groups. Absolutely all military personnel are entitled to medical insurance, including those on training camp. The only difference is in financing - it is approximately a quarter of a million rubles. Apart from a one-time disability payment, a retired military person is entitled to a monthly benefit.

1. In the amount of fourteen thousand rubles for the first disability group.
2. 7,000 rubles for the second disability group.
3. 2.8 thousand rubles for the third disability group.

The amount of payments differs due to the fact that there are several disability groups

Attention! In order to have access and permission to use this type of benefit, the expert commission allocates category “D” and obliges the military man to provide a written application to the personnel department as soon as possible. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the time frame is a maximum of thirty days.

Basic concepts, legislation

There is conscription (forced) and contract service. The timing of the first is clearly regulated by law. This is the responsibility of citizens, so it does not provide almost any privileges (except for disability payments if this happened in the service and the like).

Basic laws on this issue: Federal Law No. 53 “On Military Duty...”, Federal Law No. 76 “On the Status of a Military Personnel” (Article 23), “Regulation on the Procedure for Passing...” No. 1237, Federal Law No. 306 “On Monetary Allowance...” , Orders No. 2700 “On the Procedure for Providing ...” and No. 100 “On the Organization ...” (Articles 22, 23, 25).

What should a military man know about payments?

There are several factors that prevent military benefits from being paid. If a serviceman was fired for reasons of violation of the current regulations or legislation of the Russian Federation, the citizen will receive a refusal to pay compensation from the competent authorities.

This may happen in such cases.

1. Deprivation of a serviceman's rank of officer.
2. A court decision was made to find the military man guilty of his crime (the punishment can be either real or conditional).
3. When a military officer is expelled from an educational organization for insufficient mastery of the necessary material.
4. In the case of a court order prohibiting a military man from holding his current position (as a rule, the court specifies the time frame for removal from service).
5. The serviceman voluntarily transferred to another government organization.
6. The terms of the contract were violated by the servicemen.
7. The citizen was not allowed to access state-important facilities.
8. The citizen did not complete the probationary period.
9. The military personnel lost the trust of the command.

In some cases, a serviceman may be deprived of payments

Attention! There is also a flip side to the coin. Some categories of military personnel are entitled to awards for valiant service. For such military personnel, monetary compensation increases significantly.

Calculation of benefits for general and sergeant.

Based on the formula obtained, we will give an example of receiving specific payments in 2021 to two categories. The first category is general, let’s clarify the indicators - major general, division commander. The second category is sergeant, military rank senior sergeant, position - squad commander.

INTERESTING: Supplement to military pension for dependents in 2021

We consider the condition of payment of 7 salaries in cash. The salary for the position of division commander is 34,077 rubles, the salary for the rank of major general is 22,346 rubles. Current salary levels can be viewed here - REFERENCE . We get the calculation 7 multiply 22,346 + 34,077. The output is 394,961 rubles.

Now we consider Sergeant . His indicators are: the position of squad commander - 16,760 rubles, the rank of senior sergeant - 7,822 rubles. The total benefit amount is 172,072 rubles.

Types of cash benefits

In order to assist persons who served for the good of the Motherland and were dismissed at their own request, the state legislated a system of insurance and one-time benefits. Such payments provide assistance to the military. Such benefits are most important for persons who left military service for health reasons. If a military man is injured or disabled while performing his direct official duties, the state provides such person with a one-time and monthly payment of compensation.

After submitting all necessary documents to the competent authorities, payments are accrued within ten days.

Attention! The deadlines have the right to be extended up to 90 days in individual cases when ten days are not enough to study and verify all available documents.

As a rule, payments are credited within 10 days

To whom benefits are not paid?

Benefits for exclusion from combat service are not paid:

1. The person has been stripped of his title.
2. If a sentence of imprisonment has entered into force.
3. If a sentence of detention for a crime committed through negligence has entered into force.
4. In the event that a sentence banning holding a position for a certain period has entered into force.
5. The serviceman transferred to serve in other bodies.
6. The citizen did not fulfill the terms of the agreement - the contract.
7. The Defender of the Motherland was expelled from a professional organization and a military educational institution for poor studies and failure in subjects.
8. The face did not pass the test.
9. The military man did not comply with the conditions and requirements and violated the rules related to service.
10. Trust in the citizen has been lost.

Insurance payments

Any citizen of the Russian Federation who has joined the army is automatically subject to compulsory insurance. The insurance contract comes into force on the same day when the citizen is hired or assigned the next rank (accordingly, the dates in the contract and the contract coincide). In the event of an insured event occurring while on duty, the insurance company pays the insurance loss to the serviceman or the beneficiary (in the event of the death of the serviceman). According to regulations, there is a certain payment procedure.

If a soldier dies during his service, his relatives receive payments

According to Federal Law No. 52 on compulsory state insurance of life and health of military personnel, insured events occur:

• after the death of a military man;
• after becoming disabled during service and after leaving it at will or due to age for one year;
• after receiving mild or moderate injuries during service;
• after being released from office on the basis of an expert medical commission, which officially declared the citizen unfit to perform his official duties.

Attention! It very often happens that injuries occur due to alcohol or drug intoxication - in such cases, insurance payment is not provided, and the event is not insured.

Article 4 of Federal Law No. 52

Early dismissal of a contract employee

Separately, in Federal Law No. 53, Part 2, Art. 51 provides grounds for the dismissal of contract employees from their positions.

Some of them are the same as those listed above, so in order not to repeat ourselves, we list those not described above:

• transfer to internal affairs agencies, the National Guard, fire departments, penal authorities or customs;
• refusal or deprivation of access to state secrets;
• failure to pass the test;
• in connection with violation of special requirements while working in the FSB, state security;
• transfer to a state federal job;
• failure to undergo examinations for the presence of psychotropic or narcotic substances, their metabolites in the body, as well as committing an administrative violation related to them or other potentially dangerous psychoactive substances, unless prescribed by a doctor.

One-time benefit payments

In the form of a bonus for good service, those who quit at their own request or due to age are entitled to a one-time cash payment. The amount of such payment depends on the number of years of continuous contract in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Such compensation is also provided for military personnel transferred to the reserve. The amount of benefits for this category of military personnel depends on the rank. That is, the older the rank, the greater the cash payment.

List of required documents to receive benefits.

1. The most important document is an application from a serviceman with a request to pay him such compensation in monetary terms. The application must be made personally by the military man and in writing;
2. In addition to the application, women serving in the Russian Army must provide:

• children's birth certificates;
• a certificate stating that the second parent (if any) is not entitled to receive such a monetary payment.

Military personnel are entitled to bonuses for valiant service upon discharge

The procedure for dismissal of military personnel at the end of the contract

The serviceman continues to serve until he is removed from the lists. A military employee cannot leave his job, even if the end date of legal relations with the employer has arrived. Unauthorized absence will be regarded as leaving the place of duty with subsequent disciplinary action.

1. Collect all data on service, request documentary evidence of all periods of service in the armed forces, and calculate length of service. Communicate the result obtained to the person being dismissed, find out whether there will be any objections regarding the calculated periods of service, and make a decision if justified objections are received.
2. The commander conducts a conversation, the main points of which are reflected on the conversation sheet. The parties participating in this event sign the sheet. He joins his personal file.

Reimbursement of monetary compensation

The legislation clearly defines not only the responsibilities of military personnel, but also their rights, which enable military personnel to enjoy benefits and allowances. Such benefits include financial assistance to retired soldiers and officers, with the help of which it is possible to improve their well-being.

Due to health conditions

While on duty, there is a high probability of receiving injuries, bruises, and sometimes disability. Such damage to health does not allow the serviceman to continue serving and perform his direct duties. In such cases, a monetary payment is provided in the amount of:

• for a military contractor – two million rubles;
• conscripted military personnel - one million rubles.

Attention! In case of violation of the deadlines for payment of compensation on the basis of an application submitted by a citizen to the prosecutor's office, benefits are accrued in full, and the perpetrators are severely punished.

If payments are not made, the citizen has the right to contact the prosecutor's office

According to the maximum permissible age

Starting from 2021, for all retired citizens, the amount of pension benefits is calculated depending on rank and length of service. The age category for retirement also depends entirely on rank and length of service.

The age limit is interpreted by the Federal legislative framework. The rank of a soldier plays a big role.

1. Admirals and above - up to 65 years of age.
2. Lieutenant General, Rear Admiral - 60 years old.
3. Colonels and lower ranks – up to 55 years of age.
4. Women - up to 45 years old.

There is a service age limit

When familiarizing yourself with the legislation on payments to military personnel, do not forget that benefits can be one-time, or monthly. Funds are accrued in the general manner. The unit command issues an order, on the basis of which the accounting department allocates funds. Cash payments are accrued on the day the serviceman retires.

End of contract

If a serviceman is dismissed due to the expiration of the contract, the employee does not need to write a dismissal report. The contract expiration date provides for automatic dismissal.

Attention! If a serviceman has less than 20 years of service, he will be paid two salaries, and if he has more than 20 years of service, he will be paid seven salaries.

Dismissal at your own request

All contract soldiers have the right to resign at their own request - such a right is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, but the serviceman must have special reasons for this. Regulations do not outline specific reasons for dismissal, and therefore dismissal of this nature is a rather rare procedure.

To resign voluntarily, a military man must have serious reasons

If such a statement is written and the command approves it, the payment of benefits is accrued in the standard mode and in full.

By the way ! The award for conscientious service was approved and regulated by Resolution No. 993 of December 5, 2011.

Sample report writing

The report is drawn up in free form, but sometimes management provides forms.

The document should contain the following:

• Full name and rank of unit commander;
• Full name and rank of the serviceman;
• request to be excluded from the workforce at your own request;
• date and signature.

Only after signing the report and providing a complete package of documents is the serviceman considered dismissed. He cannot leave the place of duty after the end of the contract if he does not have the appropriate permission in his hands.

Can a military personnel be fired without a pension?

In accordance with the provisions of Article 23 of Law No. 76-FZ of May 27, 1998, contract military personnel who have not reached the age limit for military service cannot be dismissed without their consent until they acquire the right to a long-service pension.

However, the law on conscription establishes exceptions when a serviceman can be dismissed early for certain reasons, for example, due to the fact that he does not fulfill the terms of the contract. The list of such grounds is provided in Art. 51 of the law on military duty.

Thus, under certain conditions, a military personnel can be dismissed without a pension.

Award for conscientious and effective performance of official duties

If at the time of dismissal or exclusion of a serviceman from the lists of the unit he was in office, then according to Order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 2700 of December 30, 2011 “On approval of the Procedure for providing monetary allowances,” the bonus is paid with monetary allowance on the day of dismissal or exclusion from the lists of the unit.

The bonus is calculated based on the monthly salary of a military serviceman in accordance with the assigned military rank and the monthly salary in accordance with the military position held (in the case of temporary performance of duties in a vacant military position - the monthly salary in accordance with this military position), established on the 1st day of the month , for which a premium is paid.

The bonus is paid based on the order of the relevant commander (chief) in the following amounts:

a) for military personnel performing military service under a contract - up to 25 percent of their salary per month;

b) cadets and students of military educational institutions of professional education, depending on the results of the past examination session or entrance exams:

those with only excellent grades - up to 25 percent of their salary per month;

having only good and excellent grades - up to 15 percent of salary per month;

those with satisfactory grades - up to 5 percent of their salary per month.

The specific amount of the bonus is determined based on the results of the performance of official duties by military personnel in the month for which the bonus is paid.

For military personnel who have served for less than a full month, the bonus is paid for the time of actual performance of duties in a military position, based on the salaries on the day the decision to pay the bonus was made.

The bonus is not paid to military personnel:

— those undergoing military service in military units (organizations), where, in accordance with federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, a bonus system has been established for them for fulfilling and exceeding production targets and other indicators;
