Position is a separate part of the organizational structure of the customs service, fixed in the official documentation. It is provided to the employee for practical implementation, determines the range of his duties, rights and degree of responsibility, as well as the legal position in the overall system of the customs structure. What are the ranks in customs? This is detailed in the article.
General list
Ranks in the customs are received by citizens who have just entered the service here, and employees with a certain length of service. In the aggregate list without division into categories, the following ranks appear here:
- Ensigns: regular and senior.
- Lieutenants: simple, junior and senior.
- Captain.
- Major.
- Lieutenant colonel.
- Colonel.
- Generals: major, lieutenant and colonel.
- State Counselor.
What ranks in customs should be and their appointment is regulated by paragraph 1 of Art. 5 FZ №114.
Job system
It is formed on the basis of paragraph 2 of Art. 5 designated law. Arranged in a hierarchical manner. Ranks inRussian customs in ascending order are divided into four trains:
- Jr.
- Middle manager.
- Senior commander.
- Top management.
Posts of the first three categories and requirements for them are approved by the Chairman of the State Customs Committee of the country. The formation of paragraph 4 is the prerogative of the president.
FZ No. 114 regulates that at the state level, customs officers receive special ranks in the following format.
| Rank /Composition | Positions |
| Junior | Ensigns |
| Medium | Lieutenants and Captain |
| Senior | Major, lieutenant colonel and colonel |
| Superior | Generals and adviser |
First and next
These may be ranks in the customs. Some up to the captain's rank can only be assigned by the heads of the relevant departments. To do this, they must be endowed with a certain right of the Chairman of the State Customs Committee.
Second employees can receive being in the hierarchy from major to colonel. They are assigned by the head of the State Customs Committee himself. The same principle works when an employee moves to the middle or senior staff
Customs ranks from Major General are received from the President. Candidates are nominated by the Chairman of the State Customs Committee.
When an employee is awarded the first special rank, he must take an oath. To do this, he is given a period of 2 months from thismoment. You can find the necessary text of the oath in Art. 19 FZ 114. The algorithm for its adoption is interpreted by the head of the State Customs Committee.
Question about seniority
Special ranks are assigned sequentially in accordance with the position that the employee occupies, as well as upon completion of the normalized period of service.
An employee can be awarded another title as a reward for conscientious work. And this happens before the end of the served period. But, one way or another, the customs officer does not receive a title that does not correspond to the position.
For special achievements, the next rank can be one step higher than the position. But you can become its owner only when the period of service ends.
Degrees
To get the next rank in customs, and one level above a certain position, there is another loophole. To do this, the employee must have a degree. But this principle is limited hierarchically: after the rank of colonel, it no longer applies.
Customs officers with this degree are also en titled to a financial bonus. It is produced monthly. It is calculated as a percentage in relation to the official salary. Its parameters depend on the magnitude of the degree. These data are reflected in the following table:
| Degree | Surcharge in % |
| PhD | 5 |
| Doctor | 10 |
| Associate Professor | 5 |
| Professor | 10 |
An employee receives a bonus in such cases:
- If he has a degree by his first day in customs. Accrual starts from now.
- He gets his degree while serving in customs. The calculation starts from the day when the All-Russian Academy of Sciences decides to issue a diploma, a candidate, or awards a doctoral degree.
- For professorial rank or associate professor status. The accrual is carried out from the day when the Ministry of Education issues a positive verdict on the award of these degrees.
In a misdemeanor situation
If an employee is marked by a disciplinary sanction (an exception is his oral form) or is accused in a criminal case, then his professional promotion is suspended. And he can apply for a new title only after the withdrawal of claims and the completion of the criminal process. Moreover, in the latter, in the second variant, rehabilitating grounds should appear.
Also, the employee does not receive a new rank while an internal check is being carried out.
If the head of the customs organization, without valid justification, delays the submission of a subordinate to the next rank, then he is subject to disciplinary punishment. And the designated employee can count on compensation for the well-deserved funds that he could receive if he was given the next rank in a timely manner.
