Support for young professionals

The main essence of the program to support young professionals is to provide this category of citizens with special benefits and additional privileges. All of them should lead to the fact that young specialists will become interested in the proposals presented and agree to carry out their work activities in remote corners of the country.

One of the main criteria of this program, of course, is the possibility of providing young specialists with preferential housing. If you consider that in our country the issue of acquiring your own square meters is too acute, you can understand that such a privilege is truly significant and tempting.

Legislative regulations established certain requirements for candidates for the benefit program. The main ones include:

1. The applicant must be of a certain age, namely not older than 35 years.
2. Mandatory presence of a certain professional education, which in profile will correspond to the future direction of work of the young specialist.
3. Minimum work experience – 3 years. It should be noted that the applicant must have experience in precisely the area in which he previously received the appropriate education, that is, in a specialized one.
4. The need to start working within the next three months, after completing studies at the appropriate institution. In this case, the status of a young specialist will be retained by the individual until his work experience reaches 3 years.

Guarantees and benefits for young specialists established by the state and regional authorities are designed to stimulate the employment of graduates of primary, secondary and higher educational institutions in state and municipal organizations. Sometimes employers directly provide young professionals with additional guarantees, payments and benefits. The law does not prohibit them from doing this.

The legislation does not describe in detail the concept of “young specialist”, however, this definition is found quite often in regulatory legal acts that establish labor relations for young teachers.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains clarifications about a person who has completed his studies at an institution that has received state accreditation and who has found a job in his specialty for the first time within one year from the date of receiving professional education at the appropriate level (Article 70).

Attention! Persons receiving second and subsequent education do not belong to this category and cannot claim guarantees and benefits for young specialists.

Payments to young professionals

In addition to the main type of assistance associated with the provision of housing on preferential terms, young professionals in our country can also be given additional benefits, expressed in the establishment of certain payments. These payments should act as regular financial support to stimulate this category of employees.

This type of support can be provided on the basis of departmental industry agreements. In most cases, the availability of such payments is provided for at state or municipal enterprises. As for private companies, this type of assistance may also be available there. However, in this case, material support must be established by various local acts of the organization, including collective agreements or other documents. Each new employee should be familiarized with such papers during his official employment with the company. These provisions indicate not only the regular amounts of accrued payments, but also the procedure for establishing them, as well as other important nuances.

In most cases, allowances for young specialists are calculated based on an indicator such as the number of basic units. For example, employees who have a diploma of secondary or higher vocational education are assigned an additional payment of 6 basic units. Specialists who have completed their studies with honors can apply for a bonus of 8 basic units. Other rules may be established by internal regulations of various enterprises. The main thing is that these acts do not worsen the current situation of employees.

If we talk about such a value as a basic unit, its exact size is established by the current Budget Law. Moreover, various amendments may be made to this amount regularly, in accordance with the decision of the authorized body.

What kind of real estate can you buy?

After a decision is made to issue a subsidy by the executive authority, the young specialist searches for suitable real estate. According to the program, in most regions the allocated funds can be used for:

• purchasing housing on the secondary real estate market (funds are credited to the seller’s account);
• construction of a house under a contract (funds are received by the contractor on the basis of a contract);
• participation in shared construction of housing (funds are received by the developer on the basis of an agreement on shared construction of housing);
• independent construction of a residential building (funds are received by the seller of building materials under a purchase and sale agreement).

The funds are transferred to a bank account; they do not go directly to the young specialist.

Additional payments for young specialists

As mentioned above, modern legislative norms provide for a fairly large number of various benefits and privileges for young professionals. These, for example, include compensation for travel expenses incurred by employees. In accordance with the established rules, each young specialist has the right to claim exactly 50% of the total amount of transportation expenses for a certain time period.

Separate mention should be made of the procedure for assigning this type of compensation. First of all, the young specialist himself must take the initiative by writing a corresponding application addressed to his immediate supervisor. It should be noted that the right to obtain such compensation applies only to those employees whose age has not yet reached 30 years. Upon reaching this age, the right to receive such payment is automatically canceled.

As for the scope of this compensation, it applies to almost all types of public transport. The exception will be a taxi; you will not be able to receive money for its services.

It should be noted that even in the capital region certain additional payments are provided for young specialists. For example, in Moscow, as well as in St. Petersburg, such an employee can receive an increase of 40% to the basic amount of the regular salary. If a specialist previously completed his studies with honors, the amount of the bonus due to him increases by another 10%.

And finally, special privileges for young professionals also apply in the field of healthcare. In this area, this category of employees is also offered additional benefits and compensation. However, it should be noted that this rule will only apply if the specialist was sent to a rural area to subsequently perform his professional duties there.

How to get such a mortgage?

The process of applying for a mortgage is quite troublesome. Before you start applying for a loan, you need to get on the waiting list. Much depends on the region of residence of the specialist. The number of candidates may vary in different regions.

After registering in the queue, you will need to provide the following information:

• The client applies for a mortgage and receives approval from the bank.
• Makes an initial contribution, which becomes a confirmation for the lender of the candidate’s integrity. Usually we are talking about 10% of the amount.
• The candidate is looking for suitable housing. This could be a room, apartment or house.
• The transaction is carried out, documents are drawn up.
• The mortgage agreement is signed.
• The transaction is registered in Rosreestr.

The mortgage procedure for a young specialist is standard. With the exception of queuing, the applicant does not have to do anything special.

Young specialist in the village

Existing statistics show that rural areas of our country have a particular shortage of personnel. The biggest shortages there are health care workers, as well as teachers and other specialists. To solve such problems, a special program was created, which provides specialists from villages with a fairly large number of various benefits and privileges. The main ones include:

• providing young professionals with temporary housing located as close as possible to the area of ​​their direct work;
• providing such specialists with a special subsidy, which will allow them to purchase their own square meters on preferential terms.

In order to be able to take advantage of the above program, a specialist will first need to go through the official employment procedure in a new place. In addition, in order to obtain a legal opportunity to register for subsidized housing, the interested person will need to have in hand documentary evidence of the fact that his personal territory is not available for residence. Such a certificate can be obtained from your local registration chamber office.

As for the level of education, for a specialist it can be either secondary or professional. It is also possible to have several diplomas at once. The main thing is that the specialist’s current work activity is carried out according to his profile.

Subsidies for providing housing to young professionals in rural areas are allocated from the local budget. It should be noted that the available subsidy can be used by a citizen both to purchase a ready-made apartment and to build a private house.

In addition, special attention must be paid to the following important conditions:

• the young specialist must formally agree that after receiving a housing subsidy, he will continue to perform his professional duties in this location for at least 5 years. In case of violation of this rule, all rights to receive additional benefits by such employee may be revoked;
• in addition, the citizen will be required to live in this village for a certain period of time after using the subsidy due to him;
• and finally, the specialist must have available funds in the amount of at least 30% of the total cost of the purchased housing. If the required amount is not available, the citizen’s right to receive this benefit may be revoked.

Required documents for application

Along with the application, you must provide a certain package of documents. This package includes:

• passports of all family members (for children under 14 years of age, birth certificate);
• diploma of education;
• employment history;
• a copy of the employment contract;
• marriage certificate;
• an inspection report from the housing commission (if recognized as in need of improved housing conditions) or a certificate of lack of housing (from the Rosreestr department) or another document confirming the need to improve housing conditions;
• an extract from a personal bank account (to confirm the availability of 30% of the amount required to purchase housing).

This list may be expanded depending on the regulations and other regulations of the region.
