Total experience

General seniority – represents the sum of the duration of labor and socially useful activities, as well as periods of activity that are stipulated by law. Based on the total experience, the size is determined:

• old age pensions;
• in some cases it may be necessary to determine the size of the long-service pension.

There are two key points for inclusion in the experience:

• Professional activities must be carried out only on the territory of the Russian Federation.
• It is necessary for payments to be made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

It is worth noting that in total experience You can include a period of work that was carried out outside the country, but subject to:

• that this clause must be spelled out in an international treaty;
• contributions were made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Total experience includes:

1. The period when one of the parents provides constant care for the child until he reaches one and a half years old. It should be taken into account that there is a limit - no more than four and a half years in total for each of the parents. Important, previously, until January 1, 2014, the length of service included a period of no more than three years. Therefore, with increasing given period the amount of labor pensions, which was established before January 1, 2014, is subject to recalculation.
2. The period of temporary disability during which payments for compulsory social insurance (sick leave) were received.
3. Service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and equivalent to it.
4. The time when a citizen was in custody or in prison due to unjustified criminal prosecution.
5. The period when a citizen is registered with the employment service and at the same time receives.
6. The period of participation in public works that are subject to payment.
7. The time of moving or relocating for the purpose of employment to another area, provided that this is carried out in the direction of the employment service.
8. The length of time the spouses of contract servicemen lived in places where they were unable to find employment due to the lack of such opportunity. Important, in total this period should not exceed five years.
9. The period of time when constant care is provided for a disabled person of the first group, for a pensioner whose age is over eighty years. Important, care should only be carried out by an able-bodied person.
10. The period of stay abroad for the wives/husbands of workers who are sent to carry out professional activities in diplomatic and consular institutions Russian Federation. Important, in total should not exceed five years.

Important point concerning the period of full-time study for students. Until January 1, 2012, full-time education, along with work, was included in the general education system. But in connection with the current pension program, periods of study are not considered work activities, since the payment of insurance contributions to the country’s Pension Fund does not occur, which means this period will not be included in the calculation future pension.

All of the above activities will be counted towards the length of service only if the requirement is met.

Professional activities must be strictly required before and after them. It is worth considering that there is no duration limit.

Periods that are not included in the total length of service:

1. Training, various courses for training/retraining of personnel.
2. The period of residence of citizens in occupied areas during the Second World War.
3. Staying in concentration camps during the Second World War.
4. Accommodation during the siege of Leningrad.
5. Time for parents and other legal representatives to care for HIV-infected minor children.

Confirmation of work experience can be done in two ways:

1. Based on entries in the work book established sample. If you lose your employment contract, you can provide a contract, an order for hiring, as well as statements of deductions made from salaries.
2. Corroboration by testimony of two or more witnesses. This method can be used, for example, if documents are lost during a large-scale natural disaster.

Calculation of total work experience

A citizen must first calculate his or her total length of service at the time of retirement. According to Russian legislation, full length of service is 25 years for men and 20 years for women. Provided that the length of service is fully developed, the size of the future pension will be calculated based on the employee’s average earnings and will be equal to 55% of it.

The current pension program proposes to increase the length of service coefficient for overtime over the established years; for 1 year there is an increase of 1%, but not higher than 20%.

Thus, all pensioners who continue to carry out professional activities are adjusted to the length of service coefficient.

Work experience can be calculated in two ways:

• simple;
• preferential.

At in a simple way Counting can be done manually, but a more convenient way is to use a special computer program. When calculating manually, it is best and most convenient to calculate when all the data is summarized in a column. The calculation is carried out for each individual place of work of a citizen.

To do this, it is necessary to subtract the date of his first working day from the date of dismissal of the employee and add one day. The result will be the sum of all the results obtained. It is worth noting that a whole year of experience is 12 calendar months, and a month consists of only 30 days. Important Keep in mind that if there are no exact dates of entry in the labor record, then the beginning and end of the period is usually considered to be the middle of the month (15th day) or the middle of the year - July 1.

Based on the legislation, every citizen, in order to receive basic pension In old age, you must have at least five years of experience. If the work activity will be more than five years, then the following formula is applied.

The result of the ratio of all payments made by the citizen to the pension fund to the total number of months during which the state undertakes to pay the pension (228 months) is added to the basic pension.

Continuous experience

Continuous service does not have any effect on the amount of pension. But there are cases when, nevertheless, when calculating the total length of service, it becomes necessary to compare the data obtained with continuous experience. If, during comparison, the total length of service is less than continuous, then the amount of benefits will be determined based on data from continuous work experience.

Continuous service will be maintained if:

• when changing jobs, the period of cessation of work activity did not exceed one calendar month;
• the employee terminated the employment contract on his own initiative and the temporary break until employment at a new enterprise was no more than 3 weeks;
• the woman is pregnant, has children under 14 years of age or a disabled child under 16 years of age;
• the employee terminated the employment contract on his own initiative, due to the fact that the husband/wife was transferred to another location to continue professional activity or retired.

Continuous length of service will not be maintained if the employment contract was terminated due to:

• systematic failure to fulfill their direct labor duties;
• absence from work for a valid reason;
• being drunk at work;
• if a court verdict comes into force, according to which the worker is sent to prison.

So, let's summarize some conclusions from the article:

1. The size of the pension is directly affected by the total length of service.
2. Labor activity is included in the calculation of total length of service provided that it is carried out on the territory of the state and social payments are made.
3. To receive a basic pension, you must have no more than five years of total work experience.
4. To receive social benefits, for example, when calculating sick leave, in a 100% amount, you must have at least 8 years of work experience.
5. You can confirm your experience using entries in the work book or using witness testimony.

It is worth noting that the calculation of the total length of service for each employee can be carried out not only by the pension fund, but also by the personnel department at work, which is required to have a special computer program.

Every citizen should think about the size of his future pension in advance and consciously make a choice of work in favor of an organization that pays wages officially, and not in envelopes, since the size of the pension will be calculated based on the average salary of the employee.

The creation of an employment center was carried out with the aim of providing support to unemployed people. The periods during which a person was registered with the labor exchange have their own characteristics. A lot of questions come from people about whether the time spent at the employment center affects their length of service. It all depends on the type of experience.

When registering on the exchange, only the last three months of work are important. This period determines how much payment a person will receive in the form of unemployment benefits.

Is the time of registration at the labor exchange included in the length of service?

For those unemployed who are interested in whether the time spent at the labor exchange is included in their length of service, the Federal Law on Employment is relevant. It says that the time spent registered at the employment center will not be counted towards the insurance period. At the same time, it is indicated that if a person receives unemployment benefits, then his work experience is not interrupted.

Inclusion in the insurance period is possible if a person was engaged in public works, and the employment service paid contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for him. To do this, you need to take appropriate confirmation from the service itself.

Work experience and stock exchange registration

Before analyzing how these concepts are related, it is necessary to highlight the types of experience:

• insurance;
• special;
• continuous;
• general.

The most significant type of insurance for many people is the type of insurance, because it affects the size of their pension. If a person is registered and receives benefits, then his service will not be interrupted. The same applies to periods when a person will receive money for participating in public works.

How to calculate work experience

Today, many calculations are carried out using an electronic information database. Nevertheless, a person’s documents are the most visible evidence of work activity.

The main document in this context is the work book. Various certificates from the employer and employment contracts will also be taken into account when calculating.

Everything is taken to count full years and months (a year is 12 months, a month is 30 days). This takes into account not only periods of work, but also service in the army, in the Russian Federation, maternity leave, sick leave and even periods of imprisonment, if any. The state is ready to pay pensions to the population after 15 years of service. However, 15 years will become relevant only until 2024, while this period is equal to six years.

Is the labor exchange included in the length of service when calculating a pension?

Today, work experience is a generalized concept. For its different types, there are different rules regarding the inclusion/non-inclusion of the time when a person was registered. With regard to pensions, the insurance type is relevant. Article 11 of Article 173 of the Federal Law establishes that when receiving unemployment benefits, this period is counted as years of labor.

In the same article, this thesis is paraphrased as follows: the duration of being registered with the employment center is counted as length of service if the person worked before and after this time. The same procedure for recording time is followed when an unemployed person directly took part in paid public work.

Can the labor exchange send you to retire early?

There is a theoretical possibility of retiring earlier. To do this, you must at least register with the employment center. As you know, in Russia the current age is 55 and 60 years for female and male representatives, respectively.

Through the labor exchange you can leave two years earlier, i.e. at 53 and 58 years old. However, representatives of this state organization, which deals with the rights of unemployed citizens, cannot send a person to retire on their own initiative. This requires the consent of the person retirement age.

Early retirement from the labor exchange

Very often, people of pre-retirement age are fired when staffing is reduced. This basis is acceptable for early retirement. This procedure is also possible if the dismissal occurred due to liquidation. In addition to the type of dismissal, it is important to have appropriate length of service and reach 58 years of age (53 years for women).

Plus, the employment center should not have job offers for a citizen. If employment options are available, then you won’t be able to retire early.

But to the question of whether it is possible to join the labor exchange if you have a long-service pension, the answer is negative. A person receiving an old-age pension cannot be recognized by the state as unemployed.

Does the length of service in the Far North include the period when the employee was registered with the employment center?

Answer

The length of service giving the right to receive bonuses is determined in calendar days of work in the relevant region on an accrual basis.

In accordance with clause 1 of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 7, 1993 No. 1012, the length of service that gives an employee the right to receive a percentage increase in salary is summed up regardless of the duration of the break in work. The duration of continuous work experience to receive a percentage increase is determined by the work book or by certificates issued by organizations (clause 33 of the Instructions approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of the RSFSR dated November 22, 1990 No. 2, clause 28 of the Instructions approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of the RSFSR dated November 22, 1990 . No. 3).

Consequently, the length of service includes only periods of work under an employment contract.

Thus, we can say that the period when the employee was registered with the employment center (i.e., in fact, did not carry out labor activity) is not counted towards the length of service for calculating the northern bonus.

Details in the System materials:

Experience for bonus

Percentage increases depend not only on, but also on his work experience in a given region (). The length of service giving the right to receive bonuses is determined in calendar days of work in the relevant region on an accrual basis. In case of breaks in work, the length of service is maintained regardless of the timing of such breaks (). The duration of continuous work experience to receive a percentage increase is determined by the work book or by certificates issued by organizations (Instructions, approved, Instructions, approved).

For shift workers working in the Far North and equivalent areas, the length of service includes:

• actual time (calendar days) of the shift in the regions of the Far North and areas equivalent to them;
• actual days of travel (provided for by the shift work schedule) from the gathering place (location of the organization organizing the work) to the place of work and back.

Such rules are established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

For a temporarily unemployed person of working age, it is important whether the length of service at the labor exchange is valid and how periods of unemployment benefits affect future pensions.

Types of experience

The current labor and pension legislation defines three types of length of service:

1. total work experience;
2. insurance experience;
3. special work experience.

Total length of service is the sum of periods of employment and other socially useful activities provided for by law. The list of periods that are counted towards the length of service is written out in the law on labor pensions dated December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ.

Interesting information

Also, the total experience may include periods of study in higher educational institutions. The corresponding entry is made in the work book after graduation or after receiving a diploma.

The insurance period is the sum of the periods of labor or other activity when the insurance was accrued and paid. insurance premiums to a citizen's account in Pension Fund RF, and other countable periods.

Special work experience is the sum of periods of work or service in special conditions, localities or professions, taken into account when assigning an early state or labor pension.

Please note: earlier, when determining the amount of payments for sick leave, as well as for pregnancy and childbirth, continuous work experience was taken into account. Today, these payments are calculated based on the total length of service, and the concept of “ continuous experience» de facto abolished. A break in work experience is only bad because it shortens its total duration.

Having dealt with the types of length of service, we will consider whether the labor exchange is included in the length of service and whether the time of registration in the employment service is included in the insurance length of service.

When calculating the insurance period, it is compared with the continuous one. Moreover, if the insurance period is inferior to the continuous one, then the calculation of future benefits will be made based on the continuous length of service.

Experience and labor exchange

As stated in clause 4, part 1, art. 11 of Law No. 173-FZ, the following periods are included in the insurance period:

• receiving unemployment benefits;
• participation of a temporarily unemployed person in paid public works;
• resettlement (moving) for employment in another area in the direction of the state employment service.

According to Part 2 of this article, these periods are included in the length of service provided that they were preceded and (or) followed by labor or other activities included in the insurance period on the basis of Art. 10 of the law.

Since in practice this condition is almost always met, if you stand at the labor exchange, your seniority goes up.

How unemployment benefits affect your pension

According to Art. 56 of the law on pension provision dated December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ, the period of receiving unemployment benefits is included in the length of service taken into account when assigning a pension.

The minimum length of service with which a person of retirement age is entitled to receive an old-age pension was five years until 2015, then began to increase annually by 1 year to 15 years in 2024.

Periods when benefits were not paid are not included in the length of service when determining a pension.

The amount of unemployment benefits assigned during the period of registration at the labor exchange depends on:

• the average salary of a temporarily unemployed person at his previous place of work;
• maximum and minimum thresholds established by law.

Important: the amount of unemployment benefits does not affect the size of the pension. This is explained by the fact that when a person is on the stock exchange, insurance contributions to the Pension Fund are not charged or paid.

Also, periods of receiving unemployment assistance are not counted in the total length of service, which determines the amount of payments for temporary disability, pregnancy and childbirth.
