“At the moment, 66 structural divisions and 33 staff units of deputy heads of federal departments have been reduced.

The staffing of departments has also been reduced: in central offices - by 213 units, and in territorial bodies - by 31,642 units, ”he said.

Grigorenko added that this is one of the largest reductions in recent years.

As the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized, it is important to understand that the optimization of the number is carried out at the expense of unused vacancies while maintaining the payroll.

This means that the risks of dismissal or reduction in the level of remuneration of employees who perform their duties professionally are minimized.

In January, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree, according to which the maximum number of civil servants and the wage fund were approved.
