The object of the study is the new system of remuneration (NSOT) in the public sector of the Russian Federation and its main elements. The goal is to analyze the system of remuneration for employees of public sector institutions and develop proposals for its improvement. Methods of quantitative and qualitative and critical analysis of scientific, regulatory and legal sources and statistical data were used. The results of the study revealed a number of problems in the application of NSOT in the public sector, which leads to an outflow of personnel from organizations, a deterioration in the quality of services provided to the population. One of these problems is the decentralization of the organization of the salary payment process when institutions received the right to determine the structure of earnings, the system of remuneration themselves. As a result, a situation arose when compensation and incentive payments began to account for more than half of the monetary remuneration, which led to the strongest differentiation in salaries, its differences across regions, i.e. violations of the principles of «equal pay for equal work» and «social justice». Fixed official salaries of public sector employees in most cases did not ensure the implementation of the reproductive function of remuneration. As a result, the authors concluded that it is necessary to strengthen state regulation in the field of remuneration, reduce the number of compensation and incentive payments and ensure the unity of their calculation. The obtained theoretical and practical results of the study can be used in the implementation and development of the policy of remuneration in the public sector, staffing and improving the efficiency of their use.

There are some serious issues with the recruitment and motivation of the faculty in the publicly-funded higher education of the Russian Federation. They are a significant reduction in the number of teaching staff, a substantial part of the old-age staff, an increase in the total workload and extracurricular work. The most important reason of the described problems is the issue of remuneration. In this regard, the purpose of the study is to suggest some directions for the development of the material remuneration systems for the employees in the publicly funded higher education. The methodological basis of the research are such methods as analysis and synthesis, as well as abstraction and a structurally systematic approach. As a result, it was determined that: 1) unreasonably low official salaries established by professional qualification groups do not provide the reproduction function of wages in full; 2) the differentiation of official salaries for the lecturers of the same qualification level and the position held, due to the size of the financing of budgetary institutions and the remuneration policy of the university, leads to a violation of the principle of “an equal pay for an equal work”; 3) the presence of a large number of incentive payments in the salary structure leads to the “opacity” of wages. The following recommendations are formulated: the salary structure considering the specifics of the publicly funded higher education is justified, methodological approaches to the structure of the official salaries, as well as the incentive and compensation payments are developed.

The object of the research is the features of the development of distance employment in the modern Russian economy. The aim of the work is to analyze the impact of distance employment on the labor market and identify the main directions of its transformation. The authors used the methods of critical analysis of scientific and methodical literature, statistical and empirical methods. revealed the advantages of using distance employment for employers, as well as a number of problems related to information and communication support for the activities of remote workers, the use of their own means of production, digital inequality among different age groups of the population and between regions The authors note the excessive state regulation of this category of employed in the public sector by the state and come to the conclusion that the lack of scientific study of its main definitions has a negative impact on the study of distance employment and its impact on the labor market. There are problems in the legal regulation of distance employment associated with the use of workers' own means of production, the regulation of work and rest regimes, and safety measures. There is no statistical record of this category of workers. Since the indicators and characteristics of the Russian labor market have worsened during the pandemic, it is necessary to develop measures to promote employment of the population and transform its structure, considering the requirements of digitalization and optimization of the Russian economy. The obtained theoretical and practical results of the research can be used in the development and implementation of employment policies by federal and regional authorities, as well as applied in the collective and contractual regulation of social and labor relations.
