What does the pay consist of?
The remuneration system is defined in the Airport’s Remuneration Rules. It consists of:
- salary – i.e., monthly salary (normal-hours staff) or hourly rate (aggregate-hours staff) determined for each position;
- premiums and bonuses (cash awards), and any other kind of compensation in connection with the work.
Remuneration is a combination of salary, premiums, bonuses and monetary awards.
Remuneration of members of Management Board and Supervisory Board
Remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board is determined in accordance with the requirements set out in the Law on Governance of Capital Shares of a Public Person and Capital Companies, and the Cabinet Regulation No. 791 of 22 December 2015, “Regulations on the Number of Members of the Board and Supervisory Board of Public Entity Capital Companies and Public-Private Capital Companies according to the Indicators Characterising the Size of the Capital Company, Maximum Monthly Remuneration of the Members of the Board and the Supervisory Board”.
Monthly remuneration of the Chairman of the Management Board and the Chairman of the Supervisory Board is linked to the average monthly remuneration of employees working in the country in the previous year, as published in the official statistical notice of the Central Statistical Bureau of the Republic of Latvia. A coefficient is applied depending on the type of the capital company. According to the criteria characterising capital companies (number of employees and financial indicators), Riga International Airport, SJSC, is classified as a large capital company.
The monthly remuneration of the Chairman of the Management Board of Riga Airport shall be subject to a coefficient of 10, and the monthly remuneration of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board shall be subject to a coefficient of 3. The remuneration of members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board is set at 90% of the monthly remuneration of the Chairman of the Management and of the Supervisory Board respectively. Where a member of the Board simultaneously takes up another job position, the total remuneration remains unchanged at 90%, and the remuneration of the Board member and the other position is distributed proportionally.
