The report was made possible with financial support of National Endowment for
Democracy (NED). The views expressed in the report belong to the International
Society for Fair Elections and Democracy and do not necessarily reflect views
of NED.
1. Introduction
International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy presents a report of monitoring salary expenditures
(wages, bonuses and supplementary pays) made to the
management team of the Central Election Commission of
Georgia (hereinafter, the Commission or the CEC), its
members, staff and freelance workers.
Georgian electoral management body (EMB) is an administrative body independent from other state bodies within the scope of its competencies. The EMB is responsible
for ensuring fair and democratic elections, which are the
cornerstone of any democratic state. In light of this, we
believe that public may find salary expenditures made to
members and employees of the Central Election Commission particularly interesting. Because of the important function of the EMB, compensation should ensure
that in discharging their duties employees of the CEC
remain fair and independent; on the other hand, compensation shouldnt be unreasonably high, especially in
light of the existing social situation in Georgia. Purpose
of this report is to evaluate effectiveness of budget expenditures for compensating the CEC employees and to
propose subsequent recommendations.
The monitoring was carried out on the basis of public information provided by the Central Election Commission.

2. Legal framework for wages and bonus-
es in the Electoral Management Body
Rules for providing bonuses in public institutions in

Georgia are established by the July 15, 2014 Decree of
the Government of Georgia .1 On September 15, 2014, two
months after promulgation of the Decree, by its Decree
no.44/20142 the Commission approved the rules for determining amount of and providing bonuses to employees of
the electoral management body of Georgia and the Legal
Entity Under Public Law (LEPL) - Center for Electoral Systems Development, Reforms and Training.
The normative act upholds the July 15, 2014 Decree of the
Government of Georgia and determines grounds for providing a bonus, its aims, persons authorized to provide
bonuses, and amount and frequency of providing bonuses. In particular,

Amount of a bonus provided to an employee

of the electoral management body or LEPL
Center for Electoral Systems Development,
Reforms and Training should not exceed the
amount of his/her wage;
A bonus may be provided once per quarter;
A bonus may also be provided no more than

three times a year, in connection to the holidays foreseen by the Labor Code of Georgia, according to the set limit and the above
principles.

2 https://matsne.gov.ge/ka/document/view/2503960
04
In addition, exceptions are allowed in the first two cases

above, in terms of frequency and amount of bonuses provided and on the basis of a reasoned written statement
of a head officer and consent of the CEC chair.
As to supplementary pay, by virtue of the Law of Georgia
on Civil Service, Head of a state agency has the right
to determine other supplementary pay during the fiscal
year, taking into consideration overtime work or especially important workload of a civil servant, within the
limits of the salary fund and pursuant to the rules. Supplementary pay should be made within the limits of assignments set by the budget law for spending agencies.
By virtue of Article 9 of the Election Code, during the
election period3, except for by-elections, members and
head officers of the CEC and district electoral commissions, as well as the CEC staff and employees of the Legal Entity under Public Law (LEPL) Center for Electoral
Systems Development, Reforms and Trainings receive
double wage 4. During by-elections, double wage is paid
only to DEC members and head officers in the electoral
district where the by-elections are held.
3
Pursuant to the election law, election period covers the period
from the day elections were scheduled through the day the CEC made the
summary protocol of the elections public. Rest of the period is considered

Compensation for the CEC Staff
Total compensation received by the CEC staff in 2014

(department head, division head, counselor, 1st category
specialist, 2nd category specialist, 3rd category specialist) equaled to 3,078,845.54 GEL, including 1,491,633.14 GEL
in wages, 662,964 GEL in bonuses and 924,248.40 GEL as
supplementary pays. Bonuses and supplementary pays
received by the staff amounted to 106.4% of their wage
(bonuses amounted to 44.4%, supplementary pay 62%).
In 2015 (throughout 7 months) total wages received by
the CEC staff (department head, division head, counselor, 1st category specialist, 2nd category specialist, 3rd
category specialist) equaled to 741,669.16 GEL, bonuses
332,782.50 GEL, and supplementary pays 60,247.50 GEL.
Bonuses and supplementary pays received by the staff
amounted to 53% of their wage (bonuses amounted to
44.9%, supplementary pay 8.1%).
We thought it would be interesting to compare bonuses
and supplementary pays received by the CEC members
and those received by CEC staff, in terms of their percentage relative to respective wages, in order to identify
any differences that may exist between members of the
CEC and other employees of the Commission. As an example, we decided to compare the data from 2014.
57
In 2014, thirteen members of the CEC earned total compensation of 1,555,741.02 GEL, including 751,357.62 GEL in
wages, 337,994 GEL in bonuses and 466,389.40 GEL as
supplementary pays. Consequently, total bonuses received by the CEC members amounted to 44.98% of their
wage, while total supplementary pay amounted to 62%
of their wage.
Total compensation received by the CEC staff in 2014

GEL in wages, 662,964 GEL in bonuses and 924,248.40 GEL

bonuses and 724,404.42 GEL as supplementary pays. Bonuses and supplementary pays received by the freelance
employees amounted to 89.5% of their wage (bonuses
amounted to 29.9%, supplementary pay 59.6%).
Total compensation received by the freelance employees
of the Commission in 2015 (throughout seven months)
equaled to 483.212.33 GEL, including 347,949.83 GEL in

59
Key Findings
60
Amounts of bonuses and supplementary pays vary each month,

while criteria for determining their amounts and their frequency remains ambiguous. This hinders transparency of spending in
public agencies;
Bonuses and supplementary pays for the CEC members, staff

members and freelance employees are provided on a regular basis, instead of providing them in exceptional cases;
Although Decree of the CEC no.44/2014 determines frequency of

providing bonuses (once per quarter and in connection to holidays), head officers of the Commission continue to have a broad
discretion when it comes to bonuses, because the Decree allows
exceptions based on a reasoned written statement of a respective
head officer and consent of the Chair;
Unlimited amount and frequency of bonuses and supplementary

pays provided throughout years is a systemic problem;
Supplementary pays provided during election period in most cases

are equal to or greater than wages, while during election period
members of the CEC are already receiving double wages;
In most cases, total bonuses and supplementary pays received by

the CEC head officers and members is greater than 50% of their
total wage and in some cases is as high as over 200% of their
wage. We believe that such amounts of bonuses and supplementary pays are unreasonable and uncalled for.
Recommendations
Frequency, justification and amount of bonuses and supplementary pays for members of the EMB and its employees should be
defined clearly and unambiguously, than it is by the existing legislations;
Minimum and maximum percentage of bonuses and supplementary pays relative to wage should be defined. These amounts may
vary for election and non-election periods and may be lower in
non-election periods;
Amount of bonuses and supplementary pays provided in non-election period must be reduced;
Use of bonuses and supplementary pays as incentives for CEC

members and employees should not be systematic; rather, bonuses and supplementary pays should be provided in rare cases for a
special merit;
Any financial incentive should be provided for a specific reason

e.g. based on employee evaluation, special merit, etc.;
Supplementary pays should not be provided during election period

as CEC members and employees receive double wage;
Considering the importance of functions fulfilled by the CEC members and the amount of remuneration that they receive, information about wages, bonuses and supplementary pays of each member should be public, like it is in the case of the Chair, the Deputy
Chair and the Secretary.
