The question of continuous work experience still remains open. Many cannot decide whether it is needed at all in our time, or whether it is absolutely useless. Some people think that length of service will allow you to receive certain benefits, for example, benefits and additional payments from the state. Therefore, let's try to figure out whether it affects anything at all.

What is continuous work experience?

To begin with, it is important to clarify the concept of work experience. It's pretty simple. Speaking in simple language, this is the period of time allotted for a citizen to work. Moreover, this work must be formalized. This also includes entrepreneurial activity.

The Labor Code defines continuous experience as the duration of work at one enterprise. However, this rule also has its exceptions. It can also be continuous if a citizen goes to work for another organization, but a break for a set period is possible.

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, length of service upon transfer to another organization can be maintained if the duration of the break is no more than a month. At the same time, other norms are established in the current legislation. For some people, it can persist even after a 2-3 month break.

Rules for calculating continuous work experience in force in 2017

This type of length of service is important when calculating the amount of temporary disability benefits. Regulation is carried out in accordance with the current Rules for calculating the continuous length of service of workers and employees. It was already stated above that when moving to another enterprise, the duration of the break should not exceed a month. This is a general standard rule.

We should dwell in more detail on cases where this period of time is allowed to be 2 or 3 months. Calculation of 2 months is allowed for the following persons:

for workers of the Far North after the end of the contract;
released from work at Russian enterprises located abroad;
exempt from work in organizations outside the country with which the Russian Federation has agreements on social security(calculation starts from the day of arrival in the country).

Continuity of work will be maintained during a break of 3 months for the following persons:

who were subject to staff reduction, liquidation or reorganization of the enterprise;
who were fired due to temporary incapacity for work (calculations begin from the moment of restoration of working capacity);
who were fired because they were unable to perform their duties due to health reasons;
teachers primary classes due to declining student numbers.

The definition of a break for pregnant women and mothers with children under 14 years of age (disabled children under 16 years of age) requires attention. If they terminate the contract, this period remains until the children reach the specified age.

How to calculate continuous work experience using a work book?

You can calculate the continuous work experience from your work book using a calculator. This can be an online program or a simple regular calculator with which you can manually perform the calculation. It is quite obvious that it is much easier to calculate the duration of work using an online calculator. You simply enter the numbers from work book, indicating the dates of hiring and firing. The calculation is performed automatically by clicking the “Calculate” button.

In this case, during the calculation it is necessary to take into account certain values based on clause 1 of Article 13 of the current Labor Code of the Russian Federation. To calculate length of service, you need to use the dates from the book. The number of days in a month is 30, and the number of months in a year is 12.

First you need to calculate how many years, months and days correspond to a certain place of work. Next, you need to pay attention to the period that was in between and take into account the reasons and conditions for dismissal. If the duration of the break is longer than the period established by the code, then the chain is interrupted and further period work does not add up to the previous one.

Continuous work experience for calculating sick leave in 2017

The period of work for calculating sick leave affects the amount of benefits that are provided for temporary disability. At the same time, in 2017, the calculation is carried out according to the length of insurance; continuous is not important when determining the amount of sick leave.

The main point is that to calculate this amount, the employee’s periods of work are taken for which payments were made to insurance funds. In addition, contract service in the army and compulsory military service are not included here. Therefore, when calculating sick leave, it is important to take into account such nuances.

Continuous work experience upon dismissal at will

Continuous work experience According to the Labor Code, Article 17 determines that if dismissal is due to at will occurs, the break period between the transition to new job the shortest. This period is only 3 weeks if the reason is not valid.

In some cases, namely if there is a good reason, after dismissal of one’s own free will, this period may extend up to 30 days. It is also worth remembering that voluntary dismissal more than once in a year does not maintain continuity, even if 21 days of the break have not passed.

Does continuous work experience affect the size of the pension?

Today, continuous work does not affect the size of the pension. Just like the calculation of sick leave, the determination of the pension amount is based on the employee’s insurance experience, that is, the period of work throughout his life when insurance premiums. This has been established since January 2007. To a large extent, the amount of pension is influenced by the amount wages. Accordingly, the larger it was, the larger size pensions are expected.

Question: I’m currently working at the same company, I went on sick leave and they pay me the minimum wage. Is this correct? After all, for my entire labor activity Both lengths of service have been earned: labor and insurance. Please tell me how I should calculate temporary disability benefits, and if they are wrong, then which articles should I refer to to prove I’m right!? Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon. Help me understand this topic. My last day of work was 07/09/2017. Dismissal at your own request. I have two children aged 3.5 years (twins). To maintain continuous service, do I need to find a job within 3 weeks? Or does it persist in any case, since I have children under 14 years old? Is it possible to join the exchanges within 3 weeks so that the experience is preserved?

Good afternoon How does a break in work experience of 1 month in 2017 affect the pension fund?

Continuous work experience: features of preservation in 2017

The country's legislation states that a citizen's activities within the framework of work, during which periods of absence from work did not exceed the periods specified in the Labor Code, are called continuous work experience. According to this resolution, workers may not go to work for a year. workplace from 30 to 90 calendar days so that the length of service remains uninterrupted. The duration of absence from work depends on certain life circumstances.

A Russian citizen must, within 30 days, find employment in a new place that he chooses for work, if the dismissal was carried out at his request and the dismissal application did not indicate justified reasons for this action.

Within 60 days, those Russian citizens who work in the following places must find employment in a new workplace:

In harsh conditions, for example, in the Far North of the country.
Russians who previously worked outside their homeland, that is, abroad.
Citizens of foreign countries, if an agreement on social security of international significance has been signed between their country and Russia.

The latest news indicates that those persons who were fired due to a reduction in staff or the complete liquidation of an organization or company may not go to work for 90 days.

The law also states that continuous work experience is maintained if one of the spouses is transferred to a job whose activities will have to be carried out in another region. In this case, both spouses will need to move to another place to live, so they will have to quit their permanent place of work, no matter how you look at it.

Does the length of continuous service affect pension payments?

Previously, the period of work experience, which was considered continuous, had great importance regarding accrual pension payments. His timing not only influenced the amount of money, but also helped to receive certain type benefits. But after the country chose an updated system for calculating pension contributions, this situation completely changed.

Today, when calculating pensions, they do not take into account the period of continuous service, but take into account how taxpayers paid contributions for insurance government agencies and what was their amount. That is, what the pension will be depends on how much the citizen contributed. It is this period that is now considered work experience of continuous significance.

In addition to this concept, continuous labor activity also includes the work of those citizens who quit due to good reason, but retained their profession. The latter, according to the law, was allocated to him taking into account working conditions. At the same time, the living conditions and climatic features of the region are taken into account. However, the length of service will be considered continuous in this situation if subsequent employment is carried out within the time frame that was previously specified. And it will be taken into account only after the citizens of the country receive a certain type of benefits or allowances that should be included in wages.

For example, allowances are given to medical employees who constantly, that is, continuously, work in the medical field. Also, an allowance is provided for those Russian citizens who conduct their activities in harsh and difficult climatic conditions.

In what other cases should continuous experience be maintained?

In addition to the above situations, continuous work experience is maintained if:

a company employee is a parent and he needs to quit his job due to the fact that the family has a child with HIV infection and he needs ongoing care. The experience will remain legally continuous if the parent signs an agreement that he will continue his activity as soon as the sick child reaches the age of majority;
if persons who have retired decide to resume their previous work activities;
Continuous length of service is also retained for military personnel who have been discharged from their place of service. In this case, length of service will be taken into account, the duration of which must be at least 20 years, as well as whether the military personnel took part in hostilities that took place outside the borders of the Russian Federation.

For all of the above cases, the length of service will be considered continuous, without taking into account the period of time after which the new employment will be issued, that is, after how long the person will be employed in a new place of work.

What is taken into account when calculating the period of continuous work experience

When calculating periods of continuous service, the following are taken into account:

calendar days;
how many months the employee worked;
what is his length of service in years?

All these indicators are taken into account for calculating the length of service for those employees who did not leave their place of work during the period of calculation, that is, they worked in the same company or organization. When transferring to another job, the period will be calculated if the work activity is carried out in accordance with the employment law, and also if the terms of legal employment are not violated.

Is it possible to independently calculate your own period of continuous work experience in 2016-2017?

You can find out your length of service yourself using the testimony that is entered in the work book. Also this operation can be done using a special program on the Internet, which is called an “online calculator”. However, it should be noted that she will, of course, make a calculation, but the results will only be approximate. Therefore it is best this event do it yourself, listening to the recommendations of experts.

So, the calculation needs to be done in stages:

all entries in the book are taken into account, including the very first one;
for a month, 30 days are taken for calculation, for a year - 12 months;
all periods of work are recorded;
count how many days, months and years they include;
from total amount Only those days that are considered days of hiring are taken away.

The amount received will indicate what period of continuous service is provided for the citizen.

Things to consider if you use an online calculator

If you use an online calculator to calculate your length of service, you should first of all pay attention to the year the program was issued. In a certain column, you need to enter not only the time during which the citizen was considered unemployed, but also indicate the reason for leaving the workplace. That is, the dismissal was by order or at the request of the employee, and also enter the contract number and other type of necessary documentation.

It should be added: experts recommend quitting your job only if the citizen already knows what job he will go to. In this case, the continuity of contributions will be maintained and the length of service will remain unchanged. After all, few people can find a new job that will satisfy their needs in 30 calendar days. Namely, this period of time, according to the law, is given to a citizen to find a new job and maintain continuous work experience.

For certain persons and disabled people, the legal period has been increased, this was written about earlier. However, after 90 days (this is the maximum period according to the law of the country), citizens who quit their jobs at will or by order will completely lose the right to payments or benefits and will lose their period of continuous work experience. To avoid such an unpleasant situation, this moment must be carefully thought through and only then sign a letter of resignation.

When assigning old-age benefits, it is taken into account full time labor activity. If there is no such period, then the citizen may be left without general provision. Therefore, you should know how continuous length of service is formed for early retirement.

The need for continuous work experience

The total service life means the totality of labor or other socially useful activities carried out before 01/01/2002. This time is taken into account when assigning and analyzing a person’s rights to pension contributions as of January 1, 2002.

The insurance period is the accounting of the period for determining the amount of the insurance benefit based on the duration of work or other service within which contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation were paid. In addition, other activities may be included during this period.

Pension fund takes into account only documented work activity. As a rule, such papers are a book and contract agreements, where the service life appears. Registration of benefits is allowed if the service life is at least 20 years for women and 25 years for men. If performance indicators are lower, then the amount of subsidies is reduced in volume.

What exactly is the service life considered continuous?

The term continuous service for pensions is not enshrined in the current Russian laws, therefore, represents the time within which service was carried out in a certain position. Nevertheless, this concept has an impact on the formation of pension increases and the receipt of additional benefits. However it doesn't play leading role when calculating future security, but only acts as an allowance.

How to save and interrupt conditions

In a number of situations, a citizen has the right to retain the period of work, even if at that time he was in the “dismissed” status. Accordingly, a certain period between employment has specific boundaries.

Maintaining continuous service for retirement is possible under the following circumstances:

The father or mother of a child with HIV positive status may leave the workplace. In order to preserve the term of employment, the activity should be returned to the time the child entered adulthood.
In a situation where the term of service was restored by a citizen who registered the right to a well-deserved rest. This is relevant for military personnel, people employed in law enforcement agencies, as well as in a number of other areas. In this case, it does not matter after what period the renewal occurred, continuous service will be maintained.

In all other cases for permanent term service are considered to be periods when the worker was officially registered in the organization. When leaving one company and moving to another, the length of service remains with the person. The rule applies if unemployment does not exceed legal provisions.

If this period is exceeded, the Pension Fund has the right to refuse to transfer payments and subsidies to a person. But this does not affect the amount of security formed on the basis of insurance premiums. Thus, in the new bill of 2019, the concept of long-term work activity loses its original essence. In view of this, it is used only in a number of settlement transactions, for example, when determining the level of wages for a number of employees.

Please note: continuous work allows you to receive salary bonuses and additional time for paid leave.

When continuity is maintained

In addition to the main period of service, it is allowed to accrue a pension for continuous service for the following periods:

conscription service in the Russian army;
activities in the police department and other law enforcement agencies;
maternity leave;
time allotted to look after a child until he turns 1.5 years old;
officially established unemployment with supporting documents from the Employment Center;
supervision of incapacitated citizens, including those over 80 years of age;
a period of time spent in places not so distant;
annual paid leave;
on sick leave if you have official work;
employment on a public-social basis;
period of transfer of voluntary pension contributions;
conducting individual entrepreneurial activities.

For your information: after the pension reform came into force in 2002, the situation changed radically. Today, the number of years of work and the amount of remuneration is taken into account for citizens born before 1963 and who stopped working before the reform.

To establish continuous work experience for a pension, as part of determining the right to receive insurance benefits, within the framework of service or other work that occurred before the entry into force of the Federal Law, work periods are taken into account. The pension is assigned in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation at the time of business. In this case, the calculation can be made on the basis of the rules for calculating the corresponding service life, including the grace period, at the choice of the citizen.

It is noteworthy that the learning process can be included in the TS, subject to the following conditions:

studies took place without interruption from work;
training ended before 01/01/92 for persons employed in the medical and teaching fields;
internship.

Reasons for interruption

Russian laws stipulate situations when the length of service is interrupted. Such cases relate to the termination of contractual relations with the employer, namely:

Regular refusal to fulfill assumed obligations specified in the contract or organization regulations.
Absenteeism and absence from work for more than three hours, as well as coming to work under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The impossibility of fulfilling obligations due to the entry into force of an agreement on the deprivation of a person’s freedom, bringing him to public useful work and more.
Proven fact of theft at the enterprise of goods and materials, as well as loss of trust from the management of the organization.
Committing an immoral offense incompatible with the position.
Availability of disciplinary sanctions in accordance with the company's Charter.
Proven guilt of an employee, providing for dismissal under an article or on the initiative of the director.

Calculation of continuous duration of work according to a work book

Workers naturally have a question about how much continuous service is needed for retirement. In this case, it is important to make a calculation.

The process involves recording actual work equal to 12 months. The calculation procedure was established on December 28, 2013.

Note: concept permanent job, adopted in the Soviet Union, was abolished due to violation constitutional rights on freedom of labor (Article No. 37).

To carry out the calculation on your own, you need to have on hand a work book and other documentation indicating your service. Such documents include contracts, certificates from archives, and more. After the documents have been collected, you can begin to calculate:

counting the number of years worked, which are then summed up;
the result should be a figure with years and months;
additionally add periods that can be included in the vehicle.

(Total number of years of continuous experience * 1.5% - price of one point): (100*12) = coefficient.

It is noteworthy that this amount can be higher than 0.85 points. For example, to have a coefficient of 0.75, you must work as a miner until the age of 55.

What does continuous work experience affect?

The continuous work experience for pension contributions does not stop in the presence of unemployment of 30 days between dismissal and new employment. However, even in such a situation, there are exceptions to the rule in the Legislation of the Russian Federation.

Impact on pension size

In the history of the pension system, 2015 became a turning point in the assignment of payments, since the length of service no longer affects the amount of security. In 2019, insurance premiums are formed, paid by the employer to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

To obtain the right to retire, you must have worked for at least 5 years, however, since 2016, the period has been increased to 6 years. At the same time, by 2025 it is planned to increase the retirement age, in connection with which individuals will accumulate a duration of 15 years. If the work is not enough, then the person has the right to apply only for social benefit, i.e. the minimum subsistence level.

However, the volume of pension provision will also be summed up from two parts - insurance and funded. When calculating benefits from 01/01/2015, calculations are made in favor of the prevailing amount, even if the person took a well-deserved rest before 2015.

The portal of the Ministry of Labor and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation provides the opportunity to independently calculate using a calculator. Using the application, you can independently determine (approximately) future benefits based on the following indicators:

age category;
overtime overtime;
coefficients;
other individual factors.

Please note: the amount of payments for temporary incapacity ( sick leave) going concern has no impact.

Taking into account continuous service when calculating benefits

To take into account the service life, the following time periods are accepted:

being on maternity leave or caring for a bedridden patient (only one of the options is included);
Individual entrepreneurs, persons conducting legal or notary practice.

It is noteworthy that the length of service for the second category is included subject to deductions made to the Russian Pension Fund. Based on this, the duration of work will be calculated by paid months, and not by years.

Persons living in foreign countries, also have the right to receive a pension, but only the details carried out in the country will be taken into account. If a person was able to receive long-service benefits, then the amount of the insured part will be taken into account only on the basis civil term services.

Documentary evidence of activity is required only when working before 04/01/1996; the remaining periods are independently monitored by employees of the Russian Pension Fund using information from SNILS. It is noteworthy that the length of service is calculated in months, and the incomplete period will be calculated at the full rate if the volume of tax deductions reaches the minimum threshold.

Due to the fact that in recent years Many amendments have been made to regulations on labor activity, and definitions such as length of service have also undergone changes. Let us examine in more detail what is meant by continuous work experience.

The concept of continuous work experience

What length of service is called continuous?

Continuous work experience is the work or other socially useful activity of a citizen at one enterprise.

The time of continuous activity of a worker is taken into account only when it is necessary to determine the amount of payments for temporary disability.

When such benefits are calculated, the period of continuous activity is determined to be a person's work in a particular organization.

In some situations, it is possible to accrue during this period and during the time of previous work or other socially useful activities.

Regulatory framework for going concern

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, continuous activities include:

labor period as a worker or employee;
forced absences due to wrongful dismissal(when reinstatement followed);
work or paid internship while studying at a university or special institution;
service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation;
taking advanced courses qualifications.

In a situation of changing one job to another due to relocation It is allowed to extend the break in work for the time required for the move.

In a situation where a citizen has temporarily lost ability to work for a specified period of time, the permissible period is extended by the number of days for which the person was incapacitated.

The period of continuity of service for an employee when moving to another place is no more than 30 days. The break will be extended in situations specified by law.

The length of service remains uninterrupted regardless of how long the gap between the previous and new jobs lasted, if this was due to the fact that the spouse was transferred to work in another area.

Seniority cannot be retained when applying for a job if the previous employee was dismissed under such articles:

systematically failed to fulfill his official duties without serious reasons and had penalties in disciplinary procedure;
the citizen violated his labor duties once(absenteeism, presence of alcohol, drugs or other types of intoxication at the workplace, violation of a non-disclosure agreement, theft and embezzlement);
the employee violated labor protection requirements causing serious consequences or real threat their offensive.

In what cases is work experience considered continuous?

The length of service remains continuous - the break in work is no more than 3 months for the following cases:

citizens dismissed from organizations when they are closed or employees are laid off;
after the period of temporary incapacity for work has ended due to which the person was fired from his previous place of work or in the event of termination of work at his previous place due to disability;

In such situations, a period of 3 months is calculated from the moment when the ability to work was restored.

when a citizen was dismissed as unsuitable for his position positions;
if a teacher teaching in primary school, relieved of his duties due to the transfer of 4 classes to a form of systematic teaching or in a situation of temporary reduction of students;
when an employment contract with a pregnant woman or mother is terminated who has children under 14 years of age or children with disabilities under 16 years of age.

Until the child reaches this age, the length of service when applying for a new job remains uninterrupted.

Regardless of the duration of the break, the length of service will be continuous under the following circumstances:

after an employee leaves due to retirement or upon dismissal of pensioners due to age and other circumstances.

This will also apply to persons who receive a pension due to other circumstances (for example, length of service) in the case where they are entitled to receive a pension upon reaching retirement age.

when an employee was fired voluntarily for a serious reason or in the absence of one in cases of termination of the company's work or reduction of staff;
due to transfer to another region and forced relocation(applies to military personnel and State Duma deputies, as well as members of their families);
upon dismissal of persons living in the area where there is no opportunity to find another job;
when a citizen was fired due to an unfair accusation or was suspended from work due to an erroneous conclusion of a medical commission and was subsequently reinstated;
if the break from work was associated with participation in public works on a paid basis;
in a situation where a citizen was taken into custody and was subsequently acquitted and reinstated to his former position.

If a person has difficulties with one of the listed events, then the legislation provides time to resolve these issues without interrupting his work experience.

How many days is considered continuous service?

The length of service is maintained as continuous for the duration between dismissal and starting a new job. no more than 1 month.

Exceptions to this rule are:

transfer of one of the spouses to work to another area;
care upon achievement retirement age.

The internship may remain uninterrupted with a gap of less than 2 months in the following situations:

upon dismissal before the end of the contract a citizen who worked in the Far North;
upon dismissal of a person, operating abroad.

How to maintain continuous work experience with a three-month interval in work?

You can leave your work experience uninterrupted in situations established by law.

The period of service is continuous when:

citizen is studying in higher or secondary educational institutions , graduate school or residency.

Condition - the duration of the break between dismissal and admission to an educational institution does not exceed the time established by law.

when a citizen is a family member of an employee sent outside the state to work in various structures in the event that the period of time from return to entry to work does not exceed 60 days;
for seasonal workers who have worked for one season who have entered into a contract to work for the next season and have begun performing their duties within the agreed period;

Applies to industries where seasonal work time is allowed to be summed up.

treatment time in dispensaries in the situation when the duration of the break between the end of treatment and registration for a position is no more than 30 days;
serving at the place of work correctional labor (only provided that the citizen was not deprived of liberty).

How to calculate continuous experience in 1C?

The duration of uninterrupted work can be calculated using the 1C “Salaries and Personnel” program or independently.

To calculate using the program, data on hiring, dismissal and new employment are entered into the required columns. Then click the “calculate” button.

You can make a calculation on one's own.

The calculation principle is as follows:

To make calculations using a calculator, The dates of employment are subtracted from the date of each dismissal. If the interval between dismissal and new employment is no more than 3 weeks, the results obtained should be summarized. Breaks exceeding 3 weeks are not taken into account.
If a citizen quits within one year 2 or more times, then this year does not apply to uninterrupted service.
The employee has the right to increase the break to 1 month, who was forced to leave his previous workplace due to serious reasons(given that documentary evidence this fact).
For citizens who worked in the Far North or similar territories, the break is 2 months after dismissal, and that period remains continuous.
Duration of a break in work for those dismissed due to liquidation or reorganization enterprises is 3 months. The same applies to people who quit for health reasons or due to disability. This length of service will also be considered uninterrupted.
Activities for women will be considered uninterrupted, who were forced to interrupt work due to the need to care for a child with a disability who has not reached the age of 16 years or for those mothers whose children have not reached the age of 14 years.

Documents for calculating continuous work experience

The length of service is calculated according to the information specified in a number of documents that confirm the fact of a person’s work activity and are drawn up in compliance with all requirements.

The citizen is required to present:

original labor books;
military ID(if available);
original contract about hiring;
certificate from the organization where the work activity was carried out;
payment statements labor;
in some situations it will be required references from archives.

The period of continuous work is calculated, taking into account both the main position and part-time work.

Calculations are carried out in accordance with calendar days.

If a woman with young children worked part-time for family reasons, this period of time is also counted as length of service.

IN controversial situations When it is not possible to understand whether the omissions were valid reasons for interrupting work, clarification can be obtained from the relevant authorities.

Continuous and general work experience has not lost its relevance even in our time.

In some areas, continuity has a concrete meaning and even influences. Every working person should understand what continuous work experience affects and whether this value is so important.

An important point is when it can be interrupted. Dismissal from a job does not always mean that continuous work experience is automatically reset to zero.

It is already difficult for the younger generation, who began their working career relatively recently, to understand why they need it. Today, even under the Labor Code, it is impossible to find an answer to this question, since it does not contain any instructions on the application of this concept in relations between an employer and an employee.

Until the beginning of 2007, when the approach to calculating years of service changed, continuous work experience was of great importance and was even regulated Labor Code. Working in one place was considered honorable in itself, and working continuously for ten years was even more a reason for pride. At that time, length of service was calculated by only one value - labor, that is, how much you actually worked, so much is yours. In addition, interruption of work experience had a negative impact on almost all other government payments. Particularly significant this concept was for the future pension benefit, because the absence of breaks was a reason for receiving an increase in the amount earned. Other benefits, such as disability payments, bonuses for work, were also calculated taking into account the total length of service, taking into account continuous work. If a person left the enterprise and interrupted his work experience, he automatically lost a significant part of the payments, which could only be restored after several years of work.

The pension reform of 2007 radically changed the situation and the approach to calculating working hours. The concept of insurance experience was introduced, which is considered decisive today. Continuity has lost 80% of its relevance, but some importance of the definition remains. Thus, employees of some structures receive bonuses for length of service.

These include:

Employees who begin to receive special allowances after a year of work.
Civil servants also have an increasing percentage of payments after a year of work.
Police officers and military personnel can count on a salary increase only after two years.

Medical workers are also rewarded for continuity of work in one profession, they are entitled to an increase in salary after working for three years.

Another significant indicator is disability benefits. It should be calculated based on the insurance periods. Then what does it affect? The absence of breaks for two years gives the right to make a calculation taking into account all the funds earned during this period.

If the length of service is interrupted, then income for a shorter period of time will be taken into account, and this will certainly affect the determination of the amount of compensation for sick days.

Rules for calculating length of service

If this value is still relevant today, then it makes sense to understand how it is determined. When is the period of employment interrupted?

The rules for calculating continuous work experience establish that it can be maintained not only during the period of work itself within the framework of one enterprise, but can also smoothly flow when changing jobs from one employer to another.

Continuous work experience is maintained if:

No more than one month passed between dismissal and employment with a new employer. This rule applies to the general calculation order.
A break of three months is allowed to those who have lost their job as a result of the liquidation of the employing organization or a partial reduction in staff, under which the dismissed person fell.
The same three months are given to employees who lose their jobs as a result of medical conditions. For example, for health reasons, a citizen was recommended to change his profession, but a transfer within the organization turned out to be impossible, so dismissal followed.
Combatants and former military personnel can also search for three months without losing continuity.
Two months are given to those working in the conditions and in adjacent regions.

An individual approach can be applied to pensioners, citizens who are raising disabled children and family members of military personnel or employees of embassies and consulates who quit due to the transfer of a spouse.

The established continuity periods will not apply if the contract was terminated at the initiative of the employer due to identified illegal actions of the employee.

These include:

Theft.
Damage to property.
Identifying shortages.
Absenteeism.
Alcohol or drug intoxication established in the workplace.
Disclosure of secrets.
Exceeding official authority.

If an employee resigns without obvious reasons, and for the second time in 12 months, then the service will be interrupted.

Does length of service affect the assignment of a pension?

Until 2007, continuity was critical when determining retirement benefits. If they had a certain number of consecutive years of work, pensioners received a significant increase in their pension.

In 2018, when assigning a pension benefit, the Pension Fund relies on points Federal Law No. 255-FZ “On mandatory social insurance..." dated December 29, 2006. In this legislative act, as in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, there is not a word about pension increases due to continuity of work. Therefore, when determining a pension, you should count on the number of accumulated insurance years and the size of the individual coefficient.

Today, the insurance period is the primary value when assigning a pension benefit.

What is important is not how many years a person actually worked, but how many years they were deducted for him to the Social Insurance Fund and the Pension Fund. The insurance years include not only work time, but also military service, caring for newborn children, caring for the elderly and many other periods. The determining factor is the amount of income, and, accordingly, the amount of deducted taxes that the worker received. Income affects the level of the individual coefficient that is used to calculate the pension.

Pension amounts are made up of several quantities:

Social minimum benefit.
The insurance amount that was accumulated in parallel.
Own voluntary savings, if any.

Modern pension reform is designed to gradually increase insurance rates, which should subsequently significantly increase the incomes of older people. However, it does not provide for premium coefficients for continuity of work.

Continuous work experience and the procedure for calculating it

Since continuous work experience is primarily the time of work activity, many mistakenly believe that any cessation of work is considered the end of this period. However, the current legislation enshrines many situations in which, even if an employee is dismissed, his NTS continues.

For example, after termination of an employment contract at the initiative of an employee, the NTS remains with him for one month. If he finds a job during this time, his calculation will continue. For citizens working outside our country or in the territories of the Far North and equivalent to it, the period of such a “pause” is extended to 2 months. This also applies foreign citizens working in the Russian Federation, if an agreement on social security for a given time period was signed with their country. Those citizens who were dismissed from their main place of work due to staff reduction, reorganization or liquidation of the organization can count on a three-month “pause”.

It is necessary to take into account one more nuance, although at the moment it is not common. If one of the spouses is officially (this key point) are transferred to work in another region, then the second spouse will have to pay off his enterprise. In this case, the state provides him (or her) with a “pause” of 3 months, during which the citizen must find employment in a new place.

To calculate the length of continuous work experience, the position that the employee occupied after dismissal will also be important. As noted above, NTS continues only if the worker gets a job similar to the one from which he left.

If a retired citizen decides to resume his work activity, then his NTS is also extended. This also applies to military personnel transferred to the reserve. But only if they have at least 20 years of service. In case of insufficient length of service, the employee’s participation in military operations outside the Russian Federation may be taken into account.

What does continuous work experience affect?

Initially, such a concept as continuous work experience was introduced in order to increase the attractiveness of permanent work among citizens. This gave them the opportunity to receive many privileges, bonuses and allowances. For example, the opportunity to get a trip to a sanatorium or retire with a large increase in payments.

Now this scheme continues to operate, however, no longer at the state level, but at the local level. If previously all the benefits that workers with a large NTS received were paid for by the state, now the number of such bonuses has decreased significantly. At the same time, many large companies and corporations at the local level are trying to reward employees who work for them for a long time. Bonuses are also provided for citizens working in the healthcare system.

However, in this case, it is not the continuity of the experience itself that plays a big role, but its duration. At the same time, the total length of service includes not only direct work time, but also military service, as well as training in higher educational institutions and industrial practice.

Regarding the amount of the pension, today it is enough to make the necessary monthly contributions to the Pension Fund. The size of payments in the future will depend on their number and size. At the same time, for employees working on employment contract, transfers are made by the company's accountant in the manner and amount established by law. If a citizen operates as an individual entrepreneur, then he independently determines the amount of contributions and upon retirement, it will be enough for him to present the relevant statements.

In this regard, the question of the need for such a concept as continuous work experience in modern realities has been raised more than once. Indeed, from a practical point of view, it does not have a significant impact. During the discussions, the question was raised about the possibility of using NTS for early retirement or preferential registration loan. However, at this time a final decision has not been made. Although some credit institutions note that they are more likely to issue loans to those citizens who have a long continuous work history, as this increases the chances of repayment of the issued funds.

In fact, at the moment the NTS does not provide significant preferences. For civil servants, long continuous work experience is a plus on their resume, and in some enterprises it makes it possible to obtain more convenient terms for the employee annual leave. However, all this is only a minor bonus for workers, which cannot replace the real bonuses that workers with long-term NTS received previously.

How is continuous work experience calculated according to a work book?

Based on the fact that the calculation of continuous service has a number of features and nuances, the process of determining its duration is often difficult. On the Internet you can find special calculators for determining NTS, but there is no guarantee that they will work correctly, and it is also necessary to take into account the latest changes in legislation. These changes are made to programs extremely rarely. In addition, calculators determine the approximate duration of continuous service, and you can calculate it accurately yourself or with the help of specialists.

Calculation according to the work book should begin from the first working day. It should be taken into account that the day of taking up duties is considered to be the day after the day of employment. Next, you need to write down all working periods. Regardless of where and when you moved, if the time without work did not exceed the established maximum. Thus, there are 30 days in a month, and 12 months in a year. When calculating, it should also be taken into account that the last day, which is marked in the labor record as the day of dismissal, according to labor legislation considered a worker.

In addition, continuous work experience in case of temporary disability of an employee is calculated differently than in other cases. When receiving sick leave, in accordance with current legislation, the worker is given 3 months to restore his health, which are counted in the NTS. If the established maximum is exceeded, the duration of this period of service is interrupted.

When calculating continuous work experience, military service, which is noted in the labor record, is also counted. If you need to clarify the number of days included in the NTS, you can contact the local branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, whose specialists will tell you in detail about the calculation procedure and latest changes legislation in this area.

Many people use special Internet programs when calculating continuous work experience. When using them, you must pay attention to their release dates. As with calculators, changes in current legislation are introduced infrequently, which can lead to errors in calculations. In addition, when making calculations, the worker must take into account the reason for termination of the employment relationship and the corresponding duration of the “pause” for continuous work experience.

Since, upon dismissal of his own free will, the employee must get a job within a month so that his work experience is not interrupted, and in case of reduction, this period increases to 3 months. Separately, it is necessary to consider the procedure for calculating continuous work experience for disabled workers. For them, the current legislation provides special conditions. In both cases, the “pause” time also gives workers the right to receive benefits and pay insurance premiums, thereby extending their total length of service, which accordingly affects the size of their future pension.

After established by law During the “pause”, an unemployed citizen loses all the benefits and advantages that continuous work experience gives him. And although there are not many such advantages left, some citizens try not to lose them unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, if a worker strives to maintain the continuity of his work experience, experts recommend paying off work if there is a place for employment. In this case, only official work is taken into account, which requires an entry in the work book.

Since previously continuous length of service was used when calculating the amount of pension benefits, these calculations were often made by specialists from the local branch of this civil service. At the moment, only the total length of service is taken into account, which is confirmed by submitting the citizen’s work book to the Pension Fund. IN this document all official places of work are noted, as well as the reasons for dismissal and suspension labor responsibilities. If for some time a citizen was registered as individual entrepreneur, That this fact must be confirmed by a corresponding extract. When submitting papers to the Pension Fund, it is allowed to provide a certificate from the place of work confirming the availability of continuous work experience at the given enterprise and its duration.
