Salary at the Karpov Institute depends on academic 

 degree attained, length of service, and results of 

 work. To evaluate the last element, a "certifica- 

 tion" commission convenes which includes leading sci- 

 entists and representatives of management and social 

 organizations. The commission evaluates employees 

 not less than once every three years. A 10 point ra- 

 ting system is used, and the following criteria are 

 employed to evaluate the individual: 



1. Professional qualifications 



2. Diligence at work 



3. Prospects for further activity 



4. Originality of research 



5. Theoretical level of research 



6. Experimental level of research 



7. Value of research for theory 



8. Value of work for practice 



9. Ability to work independently 



10. Ability to organize work for subordinates 



11. Participation in work of technology utilization 



12. Participation in social activities 



13. Direct participation in experiment work^4 



The commission makes two kinds of recommendations as a 

 result of its assessment: (1) maintain or modify job 

 tasks; and (2) increase or decrease salary or keep it 

 at the present level. The results of the evaluation 

 are approved by the learned council of the institute. 

 The decision of the council is final. 95
