Break in work experience. How long is the length of service after dismissal

Seniority (TS) is the period of duration of a person's official work activity. At the time of 2018, 22% is deducted from each “white” or official salary of a Russian. Thus, a certain amount is accumulated, and upon passing the retirement age line, a working person will receive a pension.

TS - time spent on work or useful social activities. The size of the pension directly depends on it. Previously, in order to receive a pension, it was required to officially work for at least 5 years. Now the Russian government has decided that by 2024 this time should increase to 15 years. Thus, from 2014 to 2024, +1 year will be added to the minimum length of service.

Note! The size of the working period of activity indirectly affects the amount of the pension. There are also sites that provide online calculators through which you can calculate the amount of your pension.

What is Continuous Experience?

The first mention of continuous TS was recorded at the legislative level back in the days of the USSR. Some facts:

• In April 1973, an important statement was issued that is still valid on the territory of the Russian Federation to this day: a continuous vehicle will be accrued exclusively for official employment with a work book.
• In the event of dismissal, change of institution or enterprise, interruption occurs.
• The amount that will be paid to the employee during the period of incapacity for work, that is, while on sick leave, also has a direct dependence on the permanent length of service.

Retirement

What are the differences between the species?

Continuous and general are different things and should not be confused. The total experience is the total number of years that was spent in labor activity at any enterprise with an official device through a work book.

Important! At the legislative level, there are no breaks between working activities at different enterprises with the preservation of continuous experience.

Thus, even if the employee was fired, and after a couple of days he got a job, the seniority is considered interrupted. There are also exceptions in the form of a forced absence from work, for example, illness or significant circumstances that are not compatible with work. Nor is a decree a reason to break continuity.

Labor Code of the Russian Federation

Definition of continuity

What experience is considered continuous? If a person works in one enterprise, in one firm or in one institution without changing jobs, then his length of service is uninterrupted. Also, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation stipulates at the legislative level that every resident of the Russian Federation can work in two or more jobs. If a citizen quits one of the jobs, and remains to work on the other, then there will be no interruption. Thus, if a person has been working at at least one job for a long time, it will be a continuous working period.

Worth knowing! A promotion or change of position within a company or institution does not interrupt the continuity of seniority. Therefore, if an employee is going to be appointed by someone higher in position, then he should not be afraid of this due to the termination of continuity.

When the experience is considered interrupted

In order for the experience to be considered interrupted, a person needs to quit one job and look for and get another job for more than a month.

What break in work does not interrupt seniority? Each citizen of the Russian Federation is given 30 days to look for a new job from the moment of dismissal so that the seniority is not considered interrupted. There are some exceptions made for a certain number of people. According to them, the experience can be considered uninterrupted for 2 or even 3 months after the dismissal from the previous job. So, 2 months are given:

• for employees of the Far North;
• for those who worked in Russian organizations that are located abroad;
• for workers of foreign enterprises with which the Russian Federation has an agreement on social security.

• the employee was reduced, there was a liquidation or reorganization of the enterprise;
• the person has become temporarily incapacitated;
• the employee was unable to work due to his state of health, as a result of which he was fired;
• The primary school teacher lost his job due to the reduction in the number of students.

What are the acceptable standards for the preservation of seniority?

Russian legislation establishes that:

• There is no interruption if a citizen after dismissal within a month has found and got a new job.
• If a person of his own free will, for no explainable reason, stops appearing at work for a certain period, the experience will be considered interrupted.
• If the employee warned and explained the reason for the absence on a certain day, then continuity is maintained. This also includes the situation with maternity leave or sick leave.

Work book of an employee

How to calculate the time of continuous experience according to the laws of 2018

To calculate the amount of accrual that will be paid in the event of a decree or sick leave, you just need to pick up your work book. For a faster and more accurate calculation of length of service, you can resort to using a calculator or an Internet program that is designed for such operations. To calculate, you need to subtract the date of employment from the date of dismissal.

In this way, the number of years, months and days that were spent in labor is calculated. If the interval between the first and second work is less than a month, you need to carry out the same operation with the second term. After that, add to the first and get the total number of hours worked. When calculating, you need to rely on the fact that there are 30 days in a month, and 12 months in a year.

Sick leave in 2018

Care employee on sick leave

Such a break in work, like a sick leave, does not interrupt the experience. For the calculation of hospital payments, only insurance experience can mean anything.

Note! At the time of going on sick leave, the person will be paid the funds that were paid to the insurance fund. Money can be deducted there only during official employment through a work book. At the same time, the number of months when working at the enterprise does not play a big role.

What threatens continuity upon dismissal

If a person quit of his own free will, then continuity is maintained for a certain period. At the level of legislation, more precisely, in Article 17 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is established that this period is 3 weeks. That is, the employee has the opportunity to get a new job for the preservation of seniority within 21 days.

Important! 3 weeks is given only in case of an unexcused reason for dismissal. If the employee left his workplace due to reasons that are incompatible with this particular workplace or for another good reason, he may have time to search in the amount of 30 calendar days.

It is also necessary to mention the fact that if a person changes jobs more than once in a year, then continuity cannot be maintained. Therefore, after changing the workplace, a person will be required to work there for more than 12 months to maintain the experience, otherwise it will be interrupted.

Does continuous service have an impact on pension payments?

Back in 2007, the Russian government established that continuous service in no way has an impact on the amount of a pension. The situation is similar to sick leave. The amount of pension payments can only be affected by insurance employment.

Important! All that affects the amount of the pension is the salary of the employee. During his life he works, 22% is deducted from each monthly salary. They go to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Thus, the greater the amount of an employee's salary during his working life, the more he will receive from payments upon reaching retirement age.

It should also be understood that much in the amount of pension depends on the employer. A person with more continuous years of work will receive a higher salary, that is, the number with 22% will be higher. It can be decided that the continuity of professional activity indirectly affects the size of the pension. However, 22% is paid by the employer from the “white” salary. To do this, he must have an employee's labor card, as well as a fixed salary in the contract. If the employee receives the so-called gray salary, then the employer can deduct at least 5% to the Pension Fund. As a result, upon reaching retirement age, a person will receive extremely small pension payments.

Impact of insurance work on retirement

What depends on continuous work activity?

So, almost the only thing that is affected by continuous work experience is the amount of salary. If an employee has worked in a certain organization, for example, for six months, then he is entitled to a salary supplement.

Also, if an employee has maintained continuity while moving between different enterprises or organizations, his salary will be significantly higher than that of a person who does not have such a privilege.

Again, we can recall Article 17 of the Federal Law. According to this document, continuous work experience can be used to calculate payments during temporary disability. But, as mentioned above, to determine the amount of payments, at the time of 2018, it is most often used not a continuous period of work, but an insurance one.

For every person, work experience is an important component. It affects many parameters. Therefore, it is worth considering in more detail what seniority is, and how does it affect a person’s life?

What is work experience?

Under the concept " seniority» means the duration of a person's work activity. It is this indicator that is the main one for obtaining the right to pension provision and disability benefits. The employee's work record serves as confirmation of the employee's length of service. There are cases when the owner of this document has lost information about the primary activity, in which case it is possible to realize pension calculations.

There are several types of work experience:

1. The total length of service includes all years of work of the employee. In this case, it also includes periods such as military service, disability, maternity leave, caring for a disabled person and unemployment. The latter indicator counts only if the person receives cash benefits from social services.
2. Continuous work experience includes the total duration of continuous work in one enterprise.
3. Special seniority is intended for people holding relevant positions.

Everyone should know that a work book is an important document that confirms work experience. It is necessary to carefully monitor the correctness of its filling and not lose it. If the information is not true, then you need to request changes to the data from the employer.

What influences its interruption?

Currently, not every person can work for a long time at one enterprise in an uninterrupted manner. There are always situations when an employee must stop his activity. There are several criteria that affect the interruption of seniority:

1. Dismissal. If a person voluntarily quit his job or decided to change his occupation, then his work experience is interrupted. However, this rule does not include the reduction of the staff of workers and the liquidation of the organization. The length of service is interrupted if a person does not get a new job within three weeks.
2. Hospital. We are talking about those sick-lists in which their payment does not correspond to the tasks of social insurance or the constitution.
3. The departure of an employee from an official place of employment to an informal organization (private firm). In this case, it is generally accepted that the employee voluntarily left the enterprise and his seniority is interrupted.

Each change associated with a change in the activity of the employee must be recorded in the work book. If activities are constantly interrupted, then this phenomenon can negatively affect the amount of pension benefits.

How to make it continuous?

The amount of the benefit during the period of incapacity for work depends on the continuous length of service. If you wish, you can save it, for this, you must remember the following points.

Experience becomes continuous if:

• A person voluntarily went to work after retirement.
• A disabled citizen receives unemployment benefits. In this case, in order to prevent the interruption of seniority, it is necessary to stand in line at the labor exchange while looking for a new job.
• Less than three weeks have passed since the day of dismissal. Before leaving one organization, a person needs to find a new job.

It is allowed to maintain a continuous experience of up to two months if:

• A person after dismissal goes to work of his own free will. For example, if the wife was forced to change the organization due to the spouse moving to another area.
• The citizen retired due to age.
• A person quit his job at an enterprise located in the Far North or abroad.

It is allowed to maintain a continuous experience of up to three months if:

• The citizen was dismissed due to the reduction or liquidation of the organization.
• The employee was fired due to inconsistency with the position.

If for some reason the employer does not maintain continuity of work experience, then his actions can be appealed in court.

Legal bases and their changes

From April 1973 until the end of 2006, the country had a law on the calculation of seniority. According to his condition, he was considered continuous if a citizen got a job less than one month after his dismissal. Since 2007, this law has changed, the break period is now three weeks.

Since 2007, the temporary unemployment benefit has also changed. Today it is:

1. Payment of 100 percent of wages with an experience of 8 years.
2. Payment of 80 percent of wages with an experience of 5 to 8 years.
3. Payment of 60 percent of salary with experience up to 5 years.

Since January 1, 2007, changes have been made to the calculation of disability benefits. Now, the insurance period is taken into account, which includes the amount from all periods.

What influences continuous work experience?

Continuous work experience- this is the duration of the employee in one place or in several organizations, if the break does not exceed the established period. Based on this indicator, the amount of the benefit during the period of disability is calculated, it can be 60, 80 or 100 percent of the salary.

Continuous work experience affects:

1. the size of the old-age pension;
2. the size of the disability pension;
3. the size of the survivor's pension;

Each person can independently calculate his continuous work experience, for this you need:

• Prepare the necessary things: calculator, pen, paper, computer and work book.
• To calculate the continuous experience, you need to find the 1C program "Salary and Personnel". If desired, you can carry out this procedure yourself using a calculator.
• The program requires you to enter all the dates of admission and dismissal from work. After that, you need to click the "calculate" button and wait for the results.
• When self-calculation, first of all, it is necessary to calculate the amount of labor activity. To do this, you need to subtract the date of employment from the date of dismissal. Next, you should add those results, the interval between which was more than three weeks.

You should not read out the result if the employee was fired more than twice a year. You should also pay attention to exceptions in which the length of service is not interrupted.

What is not included, but does not interrupt the experience

There are some situations in which the seniority is not interrupted:

1. During the receipt of secondary specialized or higher education, the experience is not interrupted. This also applies to postgraduate and residency studies. However, the break between dismissal from work and admission to an educational institution should not exceed the established time limits.
2. If a person has been abroad for a long time, getting skills for work there. In this case, the time of his release from work should not exceed two months.
3. The work experience is not interrupted if a person works at a seasonal enterprise. For example, its activities are related to the agricultural or shipbuilding industries. In this case, he needs to work out completely one season, and then conclude an agreement on returning to work in the next period.
4. An exception is the case if a citizen is serving time in corrective labor, however, we are not talking about deprivation of liberty at the place of his work.
5. If the employee was declared incapacitated between dismissal from one position and admission to another, then this period is extended. In this case, the person must submit a certificate.
6. The period is extended even if additional time is needed to move to another area.

The length of service is set by the employer in accordance with the norms of the Russian Federation. Each action must be written in the work book.

It is necessary to treat such an issue as seniority with responsibility. It is this indicator that will be used when applying for a pension. In order to ensure a decent old age, it is required to observe the continuity of seniority.

Continuous work experience is set out in the law, which loses its legal force in 2007. It was up to this year that the length of service was not interrupted, the period of employment in another place should have been no more than 21 days. If these deadlines are not observed, then it is interrupted. However, since 2007, the Federal Court has changed some of the requirements and conditions.

Terms of continuous work experience after dismissal

It was adopted at the beginning of 2007. According to the main provisions, now it has become much easier to calculate sick pay. Prior to the entry into force of this legislation, sick leave pay was generally dependent solely on the duration of uninterrupted activity. If you wanted to have a good sick leave or pension, the experience should not have been interrupted.

If a resident of Russia has an entry in his book, according to which the insurance period is continuous for more than 8 years, then sick leave is paid in one hundred percent of the average daily wage. If the labor activity is in the range of 5-8 years, then 80 percent of the average wage is deducted for sick leave. If you have worked for 5-8 years, then 60 percent. Up to 12 months - depending on the established minimum wage in your region or district where you are registered and continue to work.

How many days is the seniority not interrupted after dismissal?

Sometimes circumstances arise when, after dismissal from one organization with subsequent employment, activities are not interrupted, since there are the following reasons:

• A reduction in staff has been made or the company is being liquidated. No participation is required from the employee here. After all, the employment contract is terminated not because of the employee;
• It is required to transfer the deputies of the State Duma or the military to another city in connection with the current professional activity;
• A few years before the accrual of pensions and entering a new job;
• Employees were involved in public works, which are subject to payment;
• The employee was taken into custody for unreasonable reasons. An acquittal was issued, as well as reinstatement to his former position. In this case, the experience does not stop.

For 3 weeks, it is allowed not to interrupt activities if the employee left of his own free will or there was a good reason for this. 3 months is provided if the company has reduced staff, liquidated or reorganized. By agreement of the parties, one month is provided for the employee to find a new job.

How not to interrupt the seniority after dismissal?

In addition to the conditions that make it possible to determine continuous employment after an employee quits on his own, in 2018 there are other terms for those who are forced to terminate an employment contract in various situations:

• Military personnel who are called up under the contract. Term — 1 year;
• Military personnel whose service lasts more than 25 years, as well as veterans - there is no time limit;
• Deputies of the State Duma and government employees - six months.

Medical experience is calculated by analogy with insurance. That is, it includes only those time frames when funds were deposited into the insurance fund. Sometimes the preservation of current activities is regulated by regulations that have been concluded at the enterprise. However, such documents, as a rule, are concluded on the basis of old generally accepted papers. But they have already lost their legal force.

At what point is the seniority interrupted after dismissal?

Until 2007, an employee could be fired more than once. At the same time, there was no retention of seniority after dismissal, since the terms of unemployment exceeded the permissible norms. For years of service, some benefits were accrued. However, under a law that was passed after 2007, he must now first reach that period before he can receive his approved benefits.

Is sick leave included in the seniority after dismissal?

If you do not know whether sick leave is paid and included in the work experience after dismissal, then its period is 30 days. That is, for this period it can be paid if the employee is not officially employed in a new job. Each employee who contributes money to the insurance fund due to disability and in case of motherhood can count on his sick leave. The final amount of the cash payment in 2018 depends on:

• Insurance activity, which is calculated based on the period of official employment with a bona fide employer;
• The average daily salary, which is calculated for the previous two years, regardless of the places of work. It is divided into 730 days.

The term continuous work experience has been entrenched in the minds of most Russians since the days of the USSR. Today, this concept has lost its significance.

However, continuous work experience continues to be used in some industries for the following purposes:

• establishing a longer vacation (Article 335 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• accrual of an allowance (regional coefficient) to wages;
• when calculating temporary disability benefits.

In this article, you will learn about the features of continuous work experience, and its direct impact on the size of the pension.

What is continuous work experience

The continuous work experience of an employee is the period during which he was in the status of an unemployed number of days, not exceeding the duration established by law. At the moment, a citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to remain unemployed from 1 to 3 months (it all depends on the circumstances) while maintaining a continuous length of service.

The concept of "work experience" is collective for three types of work experience. In social security law, the following types of work experience are distinguished:

• insurance (general insurance, special insurance) experience;
• labor (general labor, special labor, it is also called length of service) experience;
• continuous work experience.

Each of these types of work experience has different legal consequences. The difference between continuous work experience and special and general work experience lies in its content. The components of continuous experience include only labor activity. An exception to this rule is the inclusion in the continuous length of service of the period of military service, as well as leave to care for a child up to 3 years.

At the legislative level, the procedure for calculating the total length of service is regulated by the Decree of the Government of the USSR, signed on April 13, 1973.

Upon admission to work after the termination of the employment contract, continuous work experience is not preserved due to the commission of guilty acts, for which, according to existing legislation, dismissal from work is provided.

Such actions are considered repeated failure to perform labor duties without good reason and a single gross violation of labor duties by an employee.

Conditions for maintaining continuous work experience

The flow of continuous work experience is maintained when a person moves from one job to another. The main condition is that this period should not last longer than 1 month.

In special cases, continuous experience is maintained even with longer breaks in work, which can take from 2 months to 1 year. The reasons for dismissal and the period during which the employee must begin his duties after the termination of the employment contract with the previous employer are important.

Sometimes uninterrupted seniority is maintained regardless of how long the break in work lasts. This rule applies to people who leave due to the transfer of a spouse to another locality, for working pensioners, for parents of underage children with HIV, under a number of conditions - for military and veterans.

The time during which a person receives unemployment benefits is not included in the continuous work experience, although it does not interrupt it.

The video talks about proof of work experience

Where continuous work experience is important

Continuous experience now plays a role in the receipt of special allowances and benefits by employees of certain areas. As an example, we can cite employees of medical institutions in the northern regions of the Russian Federation. They receive an allowance only if they have the necessary continuous work experience. In such cases, employees of institutions related to the conduct of rescue operations may apply for benefits.

Depending on the length of continuous work experience in one organization, the employee is entitled to various benefits, if they are approved by the collective agreement.

Does continuous service affect the amount of pension

Previously, continuous work experience directly affected the size of the future pension. It was calculated according to the "principle of solidarity". In the presence of continuous work experience, a person received pension supplements, otherwise he lost them.

Curious information

To qualify for an old-age pension, the length of service for men is 25 years, for women - 20 years. The list of periods of labor and other socially useful activities included in the total length of service is set out in paragraph 3 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation".

The situation changed in 2002 when the pension reform was implemented. Now the number of years worked and the amount of salary are taken into account when calculating the pension only for those who were born before 1963 and stopped working before the 2002 reform. For everyone else, the pension is accrued on a funded basis. Continuity of work experience in this case is not important.

What's Influencing Retirement Now?

From January 1, 2002, the size of the future pension depends only on the insurance premiums that the employer pays to the Pension Fund for his employee. All amounts are accumulated on an individual personal account of a person. Their size is determined by the level of wages of the employee. For this reason, some employers resort to paying “grey” salaries.

Such contributions are deducted to the FIU only subject to the conclusion of an employment contract. Such experience is insurance - it is he who affects the size of the future pension. An important condition: in order to assign a pension, a person must have at least 5 years of insurance experience, that is, for at least 5 years, employers must pay contributions to the Pension Fund for him.

There are two ways to increase your future pension. The first option is to make additional contributions to the funded part, the second is to take part in the state program for co-financing future pensions.

About the features of registration of seniority, see the video

In what cases and who needs continuous work experience

Let's figure out what affects the continuous length of service after the pension reform. Now it is necessary for employees of some institutions to receive a salary supplement. Among them:

1. Civilian medical staff of the federal state security agencies (Order of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation of December 11, 2008 N 711);
2. Employees of some healthcare institutions (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of August 28, 2008 N 463n).

Since 2007, continuous work experience has not been taken into account when calculating temporary disability benefits. According to the Federal Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ, when calculating the amount of such payments, the length of service now matters. There is one exception to the general rule. It applies to the following situation:
the duration of the insurance period calculated before January 1, 2007 in accordance with Law N 255-FZ turned out to be less than the duration of the continuous work period calculated according to the old Rules. In this case, instead of the duration of the insurance period, the duration of the continuous work experience will be taken into account.

To get a lawyer's comment - ask questions below

Everything changed a few years ago. In 2006, a draft law was submitted for consideration by the Duma, according to which the concept of not continuous work experience, but general, comes to the fore. Previously, the length of continuous work experience depended on how much a person would receive payments on a temporary disability sheet. If the continuous work experience was up to 5 years, then they paid 60% of the salary, from 5 to 8 years - 80%, more than 8 years - 100% payment. Naturally, working people wanted to make the transition from one job to another take as little time as possible. In this part, a limit was set - no more than 21 calendar days in case of dismissal of one's own free will and for no apparent reason. For those who were fired by the employer, this time increased to 1 month.

In this regard, transfers from one institution to another were previously organized. For example, this concerned, for which the concept of teaching experience is also of particular importance.

How about now

From January 1, 2007, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 16 of Law N 255-FZ, the amount of sick leave benefit or childcare benefit for up to 3 years does not depend on the total continuous work experience, but on the insurance experience. That is, when determining the amount of payments, all the years when a person worked and was subject to compulsory insurance are summed up. An insured person is a person who is covered by state pension insurance, that is, everyone who has a certificate of state pension insurance. Thus, a person who had previously worked for 17 years quit, got a job six months later, then went on sick leave, and he was paid 60% of it, since the continuous experience began to be counted again. According to the latest law, sick leave will be paid 100%. And this is fair.

The seniority will not be interrupted if you enter the labor exchange no later than two months after dismissal.

Thus, now the length of service is not calculated continuously, as it was before, but in total, regardless of the duration of the break.

However, as before, the length of service remains relevant for receiving a pension in the future. According to the Labor legislation of the Russian Federation, to calculate a pension, it is enough to have 5 years of service, regardless of whether it was interrupted or not. When calculating a pension, continuous work experience does not play a role. The total length of service is taken into account when deductions were made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for calculating continuous labor seniority employee is regulated by the "Rules for calculating continuous labor seniority workers and employees when assigning benefits for state social insurance "was approved by the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated 13.04.73 No. 252., and its effect was confirmed by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 03.15.2000 No. 508 by two decisions of the Supreme Court (dated 15.08.02 No. GKPI 2002- 868 and dated 20.08.02 No. GKPI 2002-771) and the Labor Code (Article 423).

Instruction

Under the continuous experience is considered to be the duration of continuous work at the enterprise. However, sometimes periods from previous work can also be counted in the length of service. For example, in the event that the break from the moment of dismissal to employment for a new job did not exceed certain deadlines.

So, if desired, the break should not exceed three weeks. However, an employee can use this right only once a year, so if in 12 months the employee managed to do it 2 times, then this period is not counted in the continuous work experience.
But if the employee changed his place for a good reason, then he has the right to expect that the duration of the period of preservation of continuous seniority increases to one month. This is possible, for example, when entering a university or moving to another area.

It is also important to note that for certain categories of employees, the possibility of a longer break between dismissal and.
Thus, persons who worked in the regions of the Far North (and territories equated to them), who quit at the end of a fixed-term employment contract, can look for a new employer for two months.
If the employee is forced to look for a new job due to the reorganization or liquidation of the organization, then his continuous work experience is maintained for.
The same period is provided for persons due to inconsistency with the position held for health reasons and the disabled.

It is important that if a woman has a child under the age of 14 (or a disabled child under the age of 16), then her experience is not interrupted until the child reaches this age.
If an employee, in connection with the transfer of a spouse (wife) to work in another locality, then he is not at all limited in the time for finding an employer, in this case this will not affect the continuity seniority.
In addition, the experience is not interrupted even if they left their last job of their own free will.

Continuous work experience is calculated in accordance with the "Rules for calculating continuous work experience", approved by Council of Ministers Resolution 252 and Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 508, as well as in accordance with Article 423 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

You will need

• - calculator;
• - paper;
• - pen;
• - employment history;
• - 1C program "Salary and personnel".

Instruction

To calculate the continuous work experience, use the 1C program "Salary and Personnel" or calculate using a calculator, paper and a pen.

If you are using the program, enter all the required figures for hiring, dismissal and new employment in the appropriate lines, click "calculate". Get the desired result.

To calculate the continuous length of service using the calculator, enter the date of dismissal from each job in the column, subtract the date of employment. If the interval between employment in a new job and dismissal from the previous job was no more than three weeks, add up the calculated results. If the break exceeded 3 weeks, then do not include this line in the continuous work experience.

Also keep in mind that if an employee is fired two or more times within 12 months, 12 months of continuous service is not credited.

If the employee changed his place of work for a good reason and this is indicated in the relevant certificates, then the duration between employment, which gives the right to continuous work experience, can be increased to 1 month.

If you calculate the continuous length of service for an employee who retired in the Far North or equivalent territories and has a break in work after dismissal for two months, you must count this length of service as continuous.

For reduced employees due to the reorganization or liquidation of the enterprise, a break in work can be 3 months. Therefore, if this period has passed from dismissal to a new employment, then consider that. The same rule applies to those employees who are dismissed for health reasons or because of a disability.

If a woman had a break from work due to caring for a disabled child under 16, then you must consider the experience as continuous. The same applies to women caring for children under 14 years of age.

Before the law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation” came into force in Russia, which determines the new procedure for calculating pensions, their value directly depended on the total length of service and wages. Currently, only the length of service affects the amount of pension.

Currently, the legal meaning of the concept of "work experience" is lost. It remains important only for those citizens of the country who started their labor activity before the new pension reform came into effect, i.е. until 1991. From that time until the law No. 173-FZ came into force, i.e. until 2002, each year of seniority is taken into account in calculating the pension with a special coefficient. If you started working before January 1, 2002, your length of service will affect the size of your retirement pension - the longer it is, the higher the applied coefficient will be.

Since 2002, when calculating a pension, only the amount of insurance premiums, which was transferred to the personal account of a citizen by his employers, is taken into account. It turns out that the length of service does not have a significant impact on the size of the pension - the only thing that matters is how much money has accumulated in your personal account. True, according to Law No. 173-FZ, you will receive a labor pension only if your insurance experience is at least 5 years.

Recently, more and more often you can hear criticism of the existing system of calculating pensions. It is, firstly, opaque and not very clear to the majority. Secondly, it turns out that it is not at all necessary to work throughout your life - it is enough to devote only 5 years to this and at the same time receive a large salary in order to secure a good pension in old age.

Of course, a person for whom employers have transferred contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for a long period will also be able to accumulate more money on a personal account. However, the reality is that many Russians, with the low wages that exist in the regions, will not be able to save significant amounts, even after working for many years. Those whose employers saved on insurance payments and contributions and paid wages "in envelopes" will not receive a good pension either.

Therefore, the Ministry of Economic Development submitted a proposal to the government to calculate a pension according to a new formula that takes into account seniority. This will not only make the size of the future pension clear, but will also remove the issue of increasing the retirement age - those who want to receive larger payments can continue to work after they can retire. In addition, this formula will take into account coefficients that directly depend on the number of years worked, which will also serve as a motivation for increasing the length of service.
