Sectoral agreements are an important link in the system of social partnership, since the stipulated obligations of the parties increase the responsibility of employers for the employee health, decent wages and their timely indexing, as well as assistance to working women with children, support for workers to purchase housing, employment of youth, etc. others. The aim of the article is to analyze the content of the General and sectoral agreements in force as of 2020, in connection with the included national goals defined in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 21, 2020 No. 474 and characterizing their achievement of target indicators. The authors studied the practice of setting the minimum wage in industry agreements. They revealed that guarantees for minimum wage are applied in 43 sectoral agreements out of 61. The majority of sectoral agreements do not consider the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation about excluding individual compensation payments in the minimum wage. Also, less than half of the sectoral agreements include the guarantee for the tariff part of wages: it was only in 24 out of 61 sectoral agreements, while in 17 of them it was at the level of 60-70%. Due to the fact that in Article 134 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the subject to indexation is not specified - the wage fund, wages or the tariff part of it - industry agreements present different options for indexing wages at rates higher than inflation. The authors analyzed sectoral agreements on the application of compensation and incentive payments, measures to improve the housing conditions of workers (payment of compensation, provision of loans / loans on favorable terms), as well as assistance to young workers (up to 35 years old) to purchase housing and set up a household. The paper considers solving these issues in the sectoral agreements of Germany and France. The conclusion is that the sectoral agreements provide for a significant list of guarantees that contribute to the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation "On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030".
