The law establishes that the monetary provision for police officers and personnel of the rank-and-file and command staff of the civil protection service per month cannot be less than 10 times the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons established as of January 1 of the calendar year.
The monetary provision for police officers and personnel of the rank-and-file and command staff of the civil protection service consists of:
- official salary;
- salary for special rank;
- seniority allowance;
- bonus;
- other types of monetary provision (including permanent and one-time), as determined by the Cabinet of Ministers.
It is planned that the application of the new conditions for calculating monetary provision will begin on January 1, 2027.
For police officers temporarily serving outside Ukraine, payment in the national currency is maintained, and remuneration in foreign currency is paid according to the rules defined by the Cabinet of Ministers.
Police officers seconded to other state authorities, institutions, organizations, and attached units will receive monetary provision under the conditions and amounts determined by the government.
The law provides that the monetary provision for police officers and personnel of the rank-and-file and command staff of the civil protection service is subject to indexation in accordance with the law.
