Introduction: in the article, the authors analyze the criminal procedural legislation of Russia, which regulates the procedure for reimbursement of expenses associated with the participation in criminal proceedings of persons assisting in the administration of justice who do not have a constant salary. As a result of the study, it was found that such a procedure and the amount of payments are determined in the corresponding decree of the Government of the Russian Federation that has not been amended to adjust the amount of payments since 2015. Materials and Methods: the methodological basis of the study was made up of the dialectical method of academic knowledge, logical, comparative legal, statistical methods, as well as observation and other methods of research legal phenomena. Results: the authors proposed to make appropriate changes to the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation that are aimed at realizing the rights of persons assisting in the administration of justice related to obtaining reimbursement of expenses in connection with participation in criminal proceedings. Discussion and Conclusions: the authors presented their approach, aimed at improving the legislative mechanism for reimbursing costs to persons assisting in the administration of justice. Conclusions are drawn about the need for regulatory correction: first, the title of Chapter 8 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation; secondly, certain provisions of Part 2 of Art. 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation; and thirdly, the revision of the amount of remuneration payable to persons assisting in the administration of justice who do not have a fixed salary.
