BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 26. President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, has signed amendments to the Tax Code of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, as well as the laws on Social Insurance and Civil
Service, Trend
reports.
Under the new legislation, civil servants called up for
mandatory military or alternative service who leave their posts
will receive compensation equal to three times their average
monthly state salary.
Civil servants who served in a government body prior to
conscription, except in cases where the body was dissolved, can
return to their previous or an equivalent position within 60
calendar days after completing military service.
Time spent in mandatory military service will count toward civil
service tenure for employees who were reappointed immediately after
their release.
In the event of a civil servant’s death, or if they are declared
missing or deceased by a court, their heirs will receive four times
the average monthly state salary as compensation.
Additionally, civil servants leaving service upon reaching
retirement age or voluntarily will be entitled to a one-time
payment equal to six times the average monthly salary for the last
24 months or any consecutive 60 months of their choosing. This
payment will be exempt from taxes, mandatory social insurance
contributions, and other compulsory deductions.
