“Latvijas Pasts” sets the remuneration according to the amount of work done by the employee, their qualifications and quality of work.

In determining or reviewing an employee's salary, the line manager shall prepare a job description and write to the director – holder of the salary budget – an application on the employee's desired amount of salary, taking into account the following:
• salary rate (upper limit) of the specific job of a full-time worker
• the value of work in the particular region
• workload of the particular position
• assessment of the employee's qualification

Employees receive premiums in cases prescribed in national laws and regulations: for additional work, for work in special circumstances, night work, overtime work, work on weekends or holidays.
