Serving under a contract in the RF Armed Forces provides a special list of grounds for dismissal at the initiative of management or a serviceman. The implementation of organizational and staffing measures (OSM) is partly associated with the reduction of individual positions or entire structural units. In this article, we will consider the procedure for dismissing a military personnel under the general military order, and the possible legal consequences for the citizen.
What it is
Carrying out military operations in military structures is a common practice and does not always entail the dismissal of citizens from service. The law distinguishes cases when the possibility of dismissal will depend on the decision of the unit command, or an obligation to terminate the contract arises. When conducting operations, the command has the right to use the following options:
- place the citizen at his disposal for a period of up to 6 months - in this case, the serviceman retains all types of salary, although his position will actually be reduced;
- transfer a citizen to a higher or lower position - this option is allowed only with the consent of the serviceman expressed in the report;
- transfer an employee to an equivalent position - in this case, the citizen’s consent is not required, and judicial practice allows transfer even to another locality.
Note!
Immediately after the reduction of a position according to the general management, a citizen has the right to submit a report on termination of the contract. However, until the period of stay at the location expires, the commander has the right to refuse to satisfy the report. In practice, it is possible to satisfy the report before the expiration of 6 months if the serviceman reaches the age limit for serving, or the command knows in advance that it will be impossible to offer another position in the general education department. In this case, the report is reviewed by the certification commission, after which dismissal occurs by order of the unit commander.
The obligation to dismiss a serviceman in the event of an OSH arises only after 6 months have passed from the date of issuance of the order to release him. If the commander refuses to make such a decision, his actions can be challenged through the military prosecutor's office or in court. We will describe the dismissal procedure below.
Sample report on dismissal according to OSHM
What payments are due to a military personnel?
The actions of management to reorganize and liquidate certain parts of the system are certainly legitimate. Adapting to current goals and objectives, with the help of a set of measures, the army changes the number of both employees and positions.
Early dismissal implies financial damage, so people need help while looking for a new source of income. You can find out what a serviceman is entitled to upon dismissal under general military service from the federal laws of the Russian Federation (Articles 15 and 23 “On the status of military personnel”).
They define possible reasons for dismissal and types of compensation. Let's take a closer look at what awaits someone who is fired due to an OSH.
One-time benefit
When calculating a one-time redundancy benefit in connection with military service, the key factor is the total length of military service.
How much money an officer will receive is determined by the following ratio:
- if the length of service is less than 20 years, the army employee will receive two allowances;
- seven allowances are given to those who have served 20 years.
The benefit is calculated based on the salary in the last position.
Payment will be denied to those who have been deranked, convicted, or who have violated the terms of the contract.
Prize
Payments upon dismissal for organizational reasons include a bonus. It is issued along with a one-time allowance in the amount established by order of the commander.
The bonus should not exceed 25% of the employee’s salary under the contract.
Bonuses are not applicable:
- those who have committed disciplinary violations;
- those whose professionalism and physical condition were assessed as unsatisfactory during the inspection;
- who caused damage to the state due to financial or economic violations.
Compensation
The state provides financial assistance to support those who have been laid off due to OSH. It is accrued once a year according to the position of the serviceman and his salary.
The following cannot count on financial assistance:
- who have lost their military status;
- deprived of their title by a court decision for a certain period of time;
- those convicted of unintentional or intentional criminal acts;
- violated contract requirements;
- those who have lost or been denied access to state secrets.
The state takes care not only of those laid off, but also of their family members.
Citizens are entitled to support in employment and social security, they:
- can, as a matter of priority, count on getting a job in their specialty;
- have an advantage in case of possible staff reduction in the organization;
- receive places for children in educational institutions and vouchers to health camps.
Payment of salary
In the event of a reduction in the General Staff without the right to a pension and the possibility of transfer to another unit, payment of salary according to military rank is provided for one calendar year. The size of this salary is determined and regularly increased by the Government of the Russian Federation.
In addition, if during the current period the salary is indexed by the state, the serviceman will begin to receive an increased amount.
Trying to insure in case of a lawsuit, the bosses ask the person being dismissed due to the OSH to write a report. This document confirms the citizen’s agreement with the terms of dismissal.

Violations of the rights of those dismissed under OSHM occur in practice. Those who are faced with this need to correct the situation: study the issue themselves or contact a lawyer.
How does dismissal happen?
If the period of possession has expired, the serviceman’s report on termination of the contract must be satisfied. When carrying out this procedure, the following rules will be taken into account:
- if the length of service exceeds 10 years, a citizen cannot be dismissed under the general labor force without the provision of housing in accordance with regulated standards - as an alternative option for purchasing housing, payments and a military mortgage can be provided through the RF Ministry of Defense);
- if a citizen retires with more than 20 years of service, he acquires the right to all types of payments, benefits and compensation that are due upon enlistment in the reserves, including receiving housing from the Russian Defense Ministry or a military mortgage;
- Until the serviceman is provided with the required payments and housing, the contract with him cannot be terminated - for the entire period of payment, the citizen will be listed at the disposal of the unit while maintaining his monetary allowance.
Note! The calculation of length of service is carried out by the unit command based on personal file information. The serviceman must be informed about his length of service at the same time as the order.
.
The exact composition of the payments that a serviceman can count on under general military training will be indicated in the order of the unit commander, and depends on the number of calendar and preferential years of service. You can check the correctness of the calculation by reading the materials of your personal file.
Information about the reasons for termination of the contract will be indicated in the serviceman’s personal file, which is sent to the military commissariat at the place of residence. In the future, a citizen will be able to again enter into a contract with the RF Ministry of Defense if the age limit for military service has not reached.
