Wallet: Payday Boost for Sports Sphere in Belarus
In a fascinating twist, the Ministry of Sports and Tourism in Belarus has shaken things up with new guidelines on pay incentives for workers in the sports arena. Take a look at Decree No. 4, dropped on April 15, now available on the National Legal Internet Portal.
Here's the scoop. The shift primarily echoed in several professional categories, with some noteworthy pay bumps. For instance, folks working with the disability crew—from vice bigwigs to masseurs, accountants to drivers—are seeing a boost in their allowances. Numbers up, you ask? Deputy directors, legal eagles, and accountants are enjoying a 10% raise (from a mere 5%), while masseurs, trainers, and chauffeurs are casting off with a 15% increase (previously tagging along at a 10%).
What about horse enthusiasts? Yep, you read that right. Caretakers of sporty steeds (blacksmiths, stable hands, vets) are now sporting a punchy 30% increase (previously at 25%).
Olympic athletes from prime sports now net 265% of their salary (up from 250%), while those in non-Olympic disciplines score a 130% paycheck (up from 120%).
The chauffeur life just got sweeter too. Allowances for the first-class and second-class drivers are now standing at 30% and 15%, respectively (previously a more uncivilized 25% and 10%).
The sweetness doesn't end there. Contributions to allowances for the nature of work (up to 65% of salaries) and work in the industry (up to 50% of salaries) are now a tad more generous.
Moving on to bonuses, the calculation methods have been tweaked. Awards for sports medals are doled out in two exciting categories. one for sports instructors, leaders, coaches, and specialists in national teams (e.g., a cool 90% of the base for gold at the Olympics), and the other for coach-teachers working with teams (same achievements are now complimented with a 100% bonus).
The major tournament roster is expanding, with the BRICS Games now gracing the list, opening up opportunities for additional paydays.
So, what does all this mean for Belarus? With the introduction of a 2025 skilled visa program geared toward attracting skilled workers, sports professionals could potentially profit too, helping to boost the economy and population[3].
However, for the most accurate and up-to-date details on these sports-related incentives, it's best to consult with official Belarusian government announcements or sports organizations directly.
