“When I came, the postmen’s salary was 2.8 thousand hryvnias, today it is more than 6 thousand hryvnias. […] But the postman has 6 thousand – it’s just a salary. And he receives, for example, 7% from the sold, 15-30% for the quality of delivery, when they accept payments – for each payment, and so on. Today we have postmen who earn more than $ 1,000, “he said.
The head of Ukrposhta claims that there are also unofficial incomes for postmen.
“Tips from retirees and so on. For example, in Kiev, postmen who serve legal entities … Their tips reach up to UAH 500 per month from one company. […] I myself started working as a waiter, so I understand that people earn tips for the quality of their work. I do not see anything shameful in this. But lately, the volume of work of postmen has dropped dramatically. The number of newspapers is falling, the number of letters is falling, the number of retirees is falling, and wages are rising. We are a unique company: we pay more for less work, “Smelyansky explained.
He claims that his salary “remained the same – UAH 836 thousand per month.”
“Although I have the right to revise, because it is tied to the minimum wage. It was last revised when the minimum wage became 4173, now 6000. That is, as our populists like to say, the ratio of the CEO’s salary to the postman has dropped sharply,” – noted Smelyansky.
Igor Smelyansky takes position of General Director of “Ukrposhti” since 2016… In June 2021 his contract was extended by the supervisory board until June 2023.
In March at that time, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Vladislav Krykliy reported that Ukrposhta serves 3.5 million pensionerswho receive their pensions in cash delivered to their homes. Postmen do it.
