What is continuous work experience and what is it used for. Continuous service after voluntary dismissal

Continuous seniority represents a period of time during which the employee carried out labor activity without interruptions, except for cases of established duration determined by law. Previously, this concept was actively used in labor practice and legislation, as it influenced many factors. For example, depending on the duration of continuous work experience (NTS), the amount of compensation for a temporary disability certificate and pension payments changed.

With regard to exceptions, that is, periods of time when a citizen does not work, but this is not a basis for interrupting work experience. According to the established rules and depending on the circumstances, a person has the right to remain unemployed in this case from 1 to 3 months.

If earlier this concept was actively used, then after 2002, when the pension reform was carried out, continuous work experience began to be used much less frequently. In addition, now it is retained only if the worker, after being fired from one enterprise, got a job in another, but occupied a similar position in it. Therefore, at the moment this concept is often used only in the framework of the work of a worker in one enterprise or corporation. It should be borne in mind that some time intervals are also included in the continuous experience when the employee did not actually fulfill his official duties. These include:

  • Maternity leave, including the time of caring for him up to three years;
  • Military service - if a citizen was called up during the period of implementation labor activity;
  • Passing contract or alternative service;
  • Working hours in collective farms and cooperatives;
  • Service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
  • Occupation of the position of a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

All these time periods are not considered interruption of seniority. However, they are not taken into account as the time of performance of official duties. Thus, if a woman worked at the enterprise for 5 years, and then went on maternity leave, then after her reinstatement, the duration of her continuous experience will not increase and will be equal to 5 years.

That is why the process of calculating the duration of a continuous one can be associated with certain difficulties. In this situation, it is necessary to take into account many nuances. Sometimes this concept is confused with seniority. However, it is not the same though common features they still have.

Continuous work experience and the procedure for its calculation

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

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

It is necessary to take into account one more nuance, although at the moment it occurs infrequently. If one of the spouses is officially (this key moment) are transferred to work in another region, then the second spouse will have to pay off their enterprise. In this case, the state provides him (or her) with a “pause” lasting 3 months, during which the citizen must find a job in a new place.

To calculate the duration of continuous work experience, the position that the employee occupied after dismissal will also matter. As noted above, the NTS continues only if the worker has settled in a place similar to the one from which he left.

If a retired citizen decides to resume his labor activity, then his NTS is also extended. This also applies to retired military personnel. But only if they have at least 20 years of service. Before the lack of experience, the participation of an employee in military operations outside the Russian Federation can be taken into account.

What influences continuous work experience?

Initially, such a concept as continuous 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 ticket to a sanatorium or retire with a large bonus to payments.

Right now this scheme continues to operate, however, no longer at the state level, but at the local level. If earlier all the benefits that workers with a large NTS received were paid for by the state, now the number of such bonuses has significantly decreased. At the same time, many large companies and corporations at the local level try 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 the time of work itself, but also service in the army, as well as training in higher educational institutions and industrial practice.

With regards to the size of the pension, today it is enough to make the necessary monthly contributions to the FIU. It is on their number and size that the amount of payments in the future will depend. At the same time, for employees working under an employment contract, transfers are made by the accountant of the company in the manner and amount established by law. If a citizen carries out activities as an individual entrepreneur, then he independently determines the amount of deductions and upon retirement, it will be enough for him to present the relevant extracts.

In this regard, the question of the need for such a concept as continuous work experience in conditions of modern realities. 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 loan processing. However, no final decision has been made so far. Although some credit institutions note that they are more likely to issue loans for those citizens who have a long continuous work experience, as this increases the chances of returning the funds issued.

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

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

Based on the fact that the calculation of continuous experience 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 besides, it is necessary to take into account the latest changes in legislation. These changes are rarely made to programs. In addition, calculators determine the approximate duration of continuous experience, and you can calculate it accurately on your own or with the help of specialists.

The calculation according to the work book should be started from the first working day. It should be borne in mind that the day of commencement of duties is considered the next, after the day of employment. Next, you need to write out all the working periods. Regardless of where and when you moved, if the time without work did not exceed the established maximum. So 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 on the labor day as the day of dismissal, is considered a working day according to labor legislation.

In addition, continuous work experience in case of temporary disability of an employee is calculated differently than in other cases. Upon receipt of sick leave, in accordance with applicable law, the worker is given 3 months to restore health, which are counted in the NTS. In case of exceeding the established maximum, the duration of this experience is interrupted.

When calculating the continuous work experience, military service, which is noted in the work, 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 procedure for calculating and latest changes legislation in this area.

Many people use special Internet programs when calculating continuous work experience. When using them, pay attention to their release dates. As is the case with calculators, changes to the current legislation are made infrequently, which can lead to calculation errors. In addition, when carrying out the calculation, the worker must take into account the reason for the termination labor relations and the appropriate length of "pause" for uninterrupted work experience.

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

After established by law during the “pause”, an unemployed citizen loses all the benefits and advantages that continuous experience gives him. And although there are not so many such advantages left, some citizens try not to lose them without special need.

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

Since previously continuous experience was used in calculating the amount of pension benefits, these calculations were often made by specialists local branch this civil service. At the moment, only the total length of service is taken into account, which is confirmed by providing a citizen's work book to the FIU. This document notes all official places of work, as well as the reasons for dismissal and suspension from work duties. If for some time a citizen was registered as individual entrepreneur, then this fact must be confirmed by an appropriate extract. It is allowed when submitting papers to the Pension Fund, providing a certificate from the place of work on the presence of continuous experience at this enterprise and its duration.

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

The concept of continuous work experience

What experience is called continuous?

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

The time of continuous activity of the 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 by the duration work of a person in a particular organization.

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

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 in case of wrongful dismissal(when reinstatement followed);
  • work or paid practice while studying at a university or a 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 in the specified period of time, the allowable period is extended by the number of days, how many people were unable to work.

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

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

The length of service cannot be saved when applying for a job if the previous employee was dismissed under such articles:

  • regularly failed to fulfill his duties without serious reasons for that and had penalties in a disciplinary order;
  • citizen once violated his labor duties(presence of the fact of absenteeism, being at the workplace in a state of alcoholic, narcotic and other types of intoxication, violation of a non-disclosure agreement, theft and embezzlement);
  • the employee violated labor protection requirements causing serious consequences or real threat their offensive.

When is work experience considered continuous?

The length of service remains uninterrupted - the time of a break in work is not more than 3 months for such cases:

  • citizens dismissed from organizations in case of their closure or reduction of employees;
  • after the end of the period of temporary incapacity for work, because of which the person was dismissed from the previous place of work or in the event of termination of labor activity in the same 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 inappropriate for his job positions;
  • if a teacher teaching in primary school, released from his duties on the occasion of the transfer of 4 classes to the 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 moment when the child reaches this age, the experience in applying for a new workplace remains uninterrupted.

Regardless of the duration of the break, the experience 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, on the basis of service) in the event that they are entitled to receive a pension upon reaching retirement age.

  • when an employee was fired voluntarily for a serious reason or in its absence in cases of closing the work of the company or for redundancy;
  • due to transfer to another region and forced relocation(applies to military personnel and deputies of the State Duma, 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 suspended from work on the erroneous conclusion of the medical board and subsequently reinstated;
  • if the break in work was related to participation in public works on a paid basis;
  • in a situation where a citizen was taken into custody and 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 the experience.

How many days is considered continuous service?

The length of service is maintained as continuous with the duration between dismissal and admission to new job no more than 1 month.

Exceptions to this rule are:

  • transfer of one of the spouses to work to another locality;
  • achievement care retirement age.

Experience can remain uninterrupted with a gap of less than 2 months in such situations:

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

How to keep the length of service uninterrupted with a three-month interval in work?

You can leave the length of service uninterrupted in situations established by law.

Experience is continuous when:

  • a citizen is studying in higher or secondary educational institutions, postgraduate or residency.

The condition is that 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 member of the employee's family sent outside the state to work in various structures in the event that the time interval from return to entry to work does not exceed 60 days;
  • for seasonal workers who worked one season who have concluded a contract for work in the next season and have begun to perform their duties within the agreed time;

Extends to industries where it is allowed to accumulate time seasonal work.

  • time of treatment 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 correctional labor at the place of work(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 "Salary and Personnel" program or independently.

For calculation, using the program, data on hiring, dismissal and new employment are entered in the required columns. Then you should click the "calculate" button.

It is possible to calculate on one's own.

The principle of counting is as follows:

  1. To make calculations using the calculator, employment dates 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.
  2. If a citizen quit within one year 2 or more times, then this year does not apply to uninterrupted service.
  3. Has the right to increase the break up to 1 month employee who was forced to leave the former workplace for serious reasons (subject to documentary evidence of this fact).
  4. For citizens who worked in the Far North or similar territories, the break is 2 months after the dismissal, and that period remains uninterrupted.
  5. Duration of a break in work for those who are dismissed due to liquidation or reorganization enterprise is 3 months. The same applies to people who left for health reasons or because of a disability. This experience will also be considered as continuous.
  6. Uninterrupted will be considered activities for women, who were forced to stop work because of the need to care for a child with a disability under the age of 16 or for those mothers whose children have not reached the age of 14.

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 labor activity and are drawn up in compliance with all requirements.

Citizen must submit:

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

The period is calculated continuous work 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 included in the length of service.

In disputable situations, when it is not possible to understand whether the omissions were good reasons for interrupting work, clarifications can be obtained from the relevant authorities.

The question of continuous work experience is still open. Many cannot decide whether it is needed at all in our time, or whether it is absolutely useless. Some think that seniority will allow you to receive certain benefits, such as 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 seniority. It's pretty simple. talking plain language, this is the period of time that is allotted for the work of a citizen. Moreover, this work must be formalized. It can also include entrepreneurial activities.

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

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the length of service upon transfer to another organization may be maintained if the duration of the break is not More than a month. At the same time, other norms are established in the current legislation. For some people, it can persist even with a 2-3 month break.

Rules for calculating continuous work experience in force in 2017

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

In more detail it is necessary to dwell on cases where this period of time is allowed 2 or 3 months. Calculation of 2 months is allowed for the following persons:

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

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

  • who fell under the reduction of staff, liquidation or reorganization of the enterprise;
  • who were fired due to temporary disability (calculations begin from the moment the disability is restored);
  • who were fired due to the fact that, for health reasons, it was impossible to fulfill their duties;
  • teachers primary school due to a decrease in the number of students.

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 is maintained until the children reach the specified age.

How to calculate the continuous work experience according to the work book?

You can calculate the continuous work experience according to the work book using a calculator. It can be an online program or a simple regular calculator with which you can manually calculate. It is quite obvious that it is much easier to calculate the duration of work on an online calculator. It simply enters the numbers from the work book, indicating the dates of hiring and dismissal. The calculation is made automatically by clicking the "Calculate" button.

At the same time, during the calculation, certain values ​​\u200b\u200bmust be taken into account, based on clause 1 of article 13 of the current Labor Code of the Russian Federation. To calculate the 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 particular 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 the further period of work is not summed up with 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 service, continuous when determining the amount for sick leave is unimportant.

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

Continuous work experience upon dismissal of one's own free will

Continuous work experience under the Labor Code in Article 17 determines that if dismissal of one's own free will occurs, the period of break between the transition to a new job is the shortest. This period is only 3 weeks if the reason is not valid.

AT individual cases, namely, if there is a good reason, after dismissal of one's own free will, this period can last up to 30 days. It is also worth remembering that voluntary dismissal more than once a year does not maintain continuity, even if the 21 day break has not passed.

Does continuous work experience affect the amount of pension?


To date, a continuous period of work does not affect the size of the pension. As well as the calculation of the sick leave, the determination of the amount of the pension is based on the worker's insurance period, that is, the period of work for the whole life when insurance premiums were made. This has been installed since January 2007. To a large extent, the amount of the pension is affected by the amount wages. Accordingly, the more it was, the larger size pension is expected.

What experience is considered continuous


Let's start with a definition. Continuous work experience is the duration of work without interruptions, which already follows from the term itself. Previously, the period of an employee's activity without gaps in one organization, or at intervals not exceeding in general cases one month, when transferring to the service of another employer, was also called length of service.

What influences continuous work experience

Until 2007, length of service was taken into account when calculating benefits for temporary disability of an employee. The duration of work without interruption influenced the percentage of payments to the employee: 100% of average earnings - from 8 years, 80% - from 5 to 8 years, 60% - up to 5 years.

At present, after the entry into force of the law "On Compulsory social insurance in case of temporary disability and in connection with motherhood ”of December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ, when paying for sick leave, only those periods in which the employee (or his employer) paid insurance premiums to the FSS, that is, his insurance experience, are taken into account.

Previously, the length of service also influenced the size of the future pension. Now, as in the case of sick leave, when calculating a pension, it is taken into account whether the employee (his employer) paid contributions for insurance public institutions and what was the amount of these contributions.

Continuous work experience, how many days


In some cases, continuous experience after dismissal of one's own free will could be maintained if a person got a new job within a period not exceeding two months. This rule applies to the following categories of workers:

  • those who worked in the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them, dismissed in connection with the termination of the employment contract;
  • working abroad;
  • citizens of states with which the Russian Federation has concluded social security agreements.

Three months for employment could count on:

  • persons dismissed due to staff reduction, liquidation or reorganization of the enterprise;
  • upon dismissal from the previous place due to disability or inability to perform labor duties due to poor health; in case of inconsistency of the employee with the position held due to health.

Also, when one of the spouses was officially transferred to serve in another region, the second was given the opportunity to find a job within three months.

The term of labor activity was not interrupted for pensioners who retired, but again wished to officially work. You can read more about the deadlines in the already expired normative document"Rules for calculating the continuous work experience of workers and employees when assigning benefits for state social insurance" (approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of 04/13/1973 N 252, as amended on 07/01/1991, as amended on 03/02/2006).

How to calculate continuous work experience and why it may be required

Due to the fact that continuous work experience has lost its primary need, it can be used in organizations in order to reward employees, increase wages, provide additional leave etc., which should be provided for by the internal local regulations of the company.

Based on this, the continuous work experience can be calculated in different ways: the period of work in general from the beginning of employment, the period of service with a particular employer or in specific conditions etc.

You can calculate the work experience of an employee according to his work book. Each month is counted as 30 days, and each year as 12 months. It is necessary to add up all the time periods when the employee was employed, as well as periods of maternity leave, leave to care for a child up to 1.5 years and up to 3 years, leave to care for a sick child or family member, periods of vocational training or advanced training and the time when a person was registered with the employment service.

Members of the armed forces may have to work longer hours to qualify for a pension. High-ranking officials are actively discussing an increase in the length of service for them, and also plan to expand the list of banks through which it will be possible to receive a pension. What other amendments are being prepared, we will tell in the article.

Retirement - where to start? In this article, we will figure out what actions the employer should take if the time has come for an employee working at his enterprise to apply for a pension benefit.

Russian legislation provides for benefits in relation to pension accruals for certain categories of citizens. One of them includes the population of more than 30 constituent entities of the Russian Federation belonging to the regions of the Far North and areas equivalent to them. In the article, we will consider the concept of northern seniority for pensions and the features of its calculation.

Many citizens who have reached retirement age continue to work. About what benefits are due to employees receiving pension benefits, and what benefits they cannot use - we will tell in the article.

In short, yes, military service is included in the length of service, both in insurance and upon retirement by age. How exactly it is included in the calculations, we will analyze in the material below.

Continuous work experience is maintained if. What are the conditions for maintaining continuous experience and how to calculate it?


In the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, there are such concepts as general and continuous work experience. Many Russians tend to believe that continuous experience is very important. Others do not attach any importance to it at all. But is it really so? What are the conditions for its preservation? How to calculate this indicator? What affects the continuity of experience?

Seniority: definition


The length of service is the period of time in which a citizen works or carries out various activities. This concept refers to cases of official employment or maintenance entrepreneurial activity. This indicator is directly related to the calculation of pensions, is required to receive various compensations and guarantees that are provided by the Government, and is calculated in the manner prescribed by law. The work book is a document confirming the work experience.

Work experience is divided into several varieties:

  • General, including all years of work of a citizen.
  • Special, intended for persons holding certain positions.
  • Continuous.

The concept of "continuous work experience"


This term is now used relatively rarely. The fact is that it arose back in the Soviet era, when it was necessary to receive a pension, sick leave payments, and in general played a significant role in the life of a citizen, specifically continuous experience. The Labor Code defines this concept. Continuous work experience refers to the length of time you have worked for the same employer.

Why is the experience terminated?

AT modern world not every citizen can work at the same enterprise, so the continuous work experience is interrupted. Under various circumstances, employees of organizations often stop working. In this regard, the labor legislation highlights several factors that affect the continuity of experience:

  • Dismissal (continuous work experience is interrupted when changing the type of activity, when the period between the termination of the contract and the placement in a new job was more than three weeks).
  • Absence from work due to illness (cases that do not meet the objectives of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and social insurance).
  • Informal employment (when a citizen starts working in private organizations).

All changes associated with a change in the type of activity of citizens must be recorded in the work book. The relatively frequent interruption of service is not in the best way affects the amount of pension benefits.

Dismissal at the initiative of the employee


Dismissal, initiated by the employee himself, is one of the most common reasons for termination of employment. This raises the question: is continuous work experience preserved upon dismissal?

Continuity of experience can be maintained. Moreover, all citizens, without exception, have this opportunity. However, it is often difficult to use it. According to the Labor Code, continuous work experience is maintained if, after dismissal for own initiative(Unless there are other good reasons for this), no more than three weeks pass before the moment of joining a new enterprise. If there are good reasons for which the citizen was forced to resign, this period is extended to thirty days. For example, such reasons may be moving to another area or the retirement of a spouse.

In practice, there are quite often cases when citizens first find a new enterprise for themselves, and only after that terminate their employment relationship with their former employer. In this regard, the experience remains uninterrupted. But dismissal is sometimes a forced measure.

Dismissal under article


Such cases are relatively rare, but they do occur in practice. Is there continuity in this case? The Labor Code says that upon dismissal due to any specific violation, the continuity of experience is lost. Quite a logical way out for employers in situations where employees of organizations violate the work schedule is dismissal. In this case, employees can only correct their actions in a timely manner in order to avoid termination of employment relations under the article.

Company liquidation

Russian labor legislation considers cases of maintaining seniority in a situation of liquidation of an organization. Very rarely there are cases when liquidation is connected with bankruptcy. Citizens can count on maintaining an uninterrupted length of service. However, the law provides for certain conditions and restrictions.

Usually, citizens are given 3 months to find a new employer. Continuous seniority is maintained if the dismissed employee has found a new job during this period. Otherwise, the experience is interrupted, while this period cannot be extended.

Motherhood


Continuous work experience is maintained if the woman goes on parental leave. But is continuity preserved if future mom going on maternity leave? There are two completely opposite opinions on this matter.

The Russian labor legislation does not contain information regarding maternity leave and continuous work experience. In fact, the length of service is preserved, since the woman remains employed, the nature of the work performed changes. On maternity leave, a woman only works family affairs but not in the performance of their duties. However, lawyers tend to believe that the experience in this situation is not interrupted.

Health


If a citizen, for health reasons, cannot perform certain types jobs, is there continuous work experience? The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains an article on this subject that takes into account the special state of health of a citizen. If an employee suffers from serious illnesses that simply do not allow him to perform certain types of activities, you can count on maintaining continuous experience. How?

Upon dismissal from the previous place of work, a period of three months is given to search for a new employer. Also during this period, the citizen has every right to return to the previous employer. At the same time, experience is maintained. However, in practice, such cases are extremely rare, since returning to the performance of previous work duties will take the employee even more time (for health reasons). In most cases, workers refuse to continue employment at all.

Other important features


Russians who live and work in the Far North or similar natural conditions, have some privileges when taking into account seniority. This also applies to foreign citizens who work under a contract in harsh climatic conditions if an agreement on social support has been concluded with their country. These categories of workers have every right to maintain continuous work experience, as in the situations mentioned above. Max Time, allotted for the search for a new job, is two months. This period is relatively short, but, as practice shows, in many cases it is quite sufficient.

Continuous work experience is maintained if the citizen is a military man. So, for example, if a citizen served for 25 years and then retired, he can get a new job while maintaining seniority. The state grants this privilege in full.

Labor law also takes into account family circumstances. If a citizen is caring for an HIV-infected minor child, and for this reason is forced to leave the workplace, the continuity of experience is also maintained. When a child reaches the age of majority, a citizen is obliged to start working again.

Another case in which a citizen can count on continuity of experience is a change of job while maintaining the type of activity and profession.

How is continuous work experience calculated?

The dates of conclusion and termination of employment contracts should be taken from the work book. There are various programs that can automatically calculate the length of service. You can also contact the company's accounting department for help. Counting starts from the very first entry. Thus, it is possible to calculate the total length of service, which includes all jobs and positions held. Continuity is affected by the above cases. Even one such violation interrupts the experience. As a result of the calculation, a number will be obtained in the form of the number of years and calendar months.

The work book never contains data on continuous experience. The fact is that this term does not actually exist in the Labor Code. Therefore, now no one distinguishes between continuous and general work experience.

Why is it needed?

So, we figured out how to calculate continuous work experience. In the end, the question arises: "And what does it matter now, because this term was relevant in the Soviet era?" As practice shows, this factor has practically no significance.

For Russians, much greater value has a general length of service, since it is he who affects the size of the future pension. The main thing is that employment must be official. The total length of service is also accrued to citizens engaged in entrepreneurial activities.

Continuous experience is a kind of relic of the past. But sometimes employers pay attention to it. A potential employer, after a detailed study of your work book, may ask why you left your previous organization. However, this factor affects the amount of disability benefits.

Some Russians are inclined to believe that in the near future, continuous service will again be of great importance and will affect the size of the pension, make it possible to receive various subsidies and social benefits. In fact, this is far from the case, since this information not officially confirmed.

When experience is maintained: results

So, we figured out how to calculate the continuous work experience. As mentioned above, the amount of the benefit paid in connection with the incapacity for work of a citizen depends directly on the continuity of experience. At the request of the employee, continuity can be maintained in the following cases:

  • An employee on a personal initiative after reaching retirement age is re-employed.
  • A disabled citizen is paid unemployment benefits (in order to prevent interruption of the length of service, it is necessary to stand in line at the employment service).
  • No more than three weeks have passed since the termination of employment relations with the previous employer (it is best to find a new organization in advance).

Within two months after the termination of the contract at the previous place of work, the length of service can be maintained in situations where:

  • The employee is reemployed on his own initiative (the dismissal was a forced measure, for example, when moving).
  • The citizen has reached retirement age and is employed again.
  • A citizen resigned from an organization located abroad or in the Far North.

Within three months after dismissal, seniority can be maintained in the following situations:

  • The employment relationship with the employee was terminated due to staff reduction or liquidation of the organization.
  • The reason for dismissal is a discrepancy between the position held or the fulfillment of labor obligations.

Often, employers refuse to maintain continuity of experience. In this case, the employee has the right to challenge this decision in court.

The legislative framework


From the mid-70s and until 2006, in the Soviet Union, and then in Russia, there was a law according to which the length of service was calculated. According to this law, the continuity of the length of service was maintained if the employee re-employed within a month for a new job. In 2007, the law was changed, and the period was reduced to three weeks. Also in 2007, the amount of temporary unemployment benefit changed. The allowance is now:

  • 100% of earnings if the experience is over eight years;
  • 80% of earnings if the experience is from five to eight years;
  • 60% of earnings if the experience is less than five years.

So, we found out why continuous work experience is for what. For a pension, the overall experience is important. This indicator depends on the size compensation payments unemployment and disability. It is relatively difficult to calculate it, but it is possible, since there are automated programs for this. Maintaining this type of experience is not as important as practice shows. In modern Russian labor legislation, the importance of this factor is minimized. It was much more important during the years of Soviet power. In addition, the pension system is undergoing various changes in recent times. The amount of the pension will be affected by the so-called accrued points. Analysts predict that seniority continuity is unlikely to be important in the future.

Re: Continuous work experience

I decided not to be smart myself, but found an article for you in accounting publications. There are answers to all your questions:

1. When moving from one job to another, continuous work experience is maintained, provided that the break in work does not exceed one month, unless otherwise provided by these Rules and other norms of the current legislation.

2. In the following cases, continuous work experience is maintained if the break in work did not exceed two months:

a) upon admission to another job of persons who worked in the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them, after dismissal from work upon the expiration of the employment contract;

3. In the following cases, continuous work experience is maintained if the break in work has not exceeded three months:

a) upon admission to work of persons released from enterprises, institutions and organizations in connection with their reorganization or liquidation or the implementation of measures to reduce the number or staff of employees;

b) upon admission to work after the end of temporary disability, which, in accordance with the current legislation, entailed dismissal from the previous job, as well as upon admission to work after dismissal from work due to disability or after the dismissal of disabled people on other grounds (except for those listed in paragraphs. " a" - "h" of paragraph 6 of these Rules), for which more favorable conditions for maintaining continuous work experience are not established. The three-month period in these cases is calculated starting from the day of restoration of working capacity. The day of restoration of working capacity is considered, respectively, the day the opinion on this is issued by the Medical Consultative Commission (VKK) or the day on which the disability was established;

c) upon admission to work after dismissal due to the revealed inconsistency of the employee with the position held or work performed for health reasons that prevent the continuation of this work (according to a medical report issued in the prescribed manner);

d) when applying for a job as a primary school teacher general education schools exempted from work at school in connection with the transfer of the fourth grade to the systematic teaching of the fundamentals of science and a temporary reduction in the number of primary school students.

For workers and employees dismissed from work before July 1, 1973 on the grounds provided for in paragraphs. "b" and "c" of this clause, and who entered another job before October 1, 1973, continuous work experience is maintained regardless of the duration of the break in work.

4. Upon termination of an employment contract by pregnant women or mothers with children (including those adopted or under guardianship or guardianship) under the age of 14 or a disabled child under the age of 16, continuous work experience is maintained provided that they enter work before the child reaches the specified age.

5. Continuous work experience is maintained regardless of the duration of the break in work:

a) upon admission to work after dismissal of their own free will in connection with the transfer of the husband or wife to work in another locality;

"a" - "h" p. 7 of these Rules. This rule also applies to pensioners who receive pensions for other reasons (for example, for years of service), if they are also entitled to an old-age pension.

6. Continuous work experience is not preserved when applying for a job after the termination of the employment contract on the following grounds:

a) systematic failure without good reason, the obligations imposed by the employment contract or internal labor regulations;

b) absenteeism (including absence from work for more than three hours during a working day) without good reason or appearing at work in a state of intoxication;

c) the entry into force of a court sentence by which a worker or employee is sentenced to imprisonment, correctional labor outside the place of work, or to another punishment that excludes the possibility of continuing this work;

d) loss of confidence on the part of the administration to the employee directly servicing monetary or commodity values;

e) commission by an employee performing educational functions of an immoral offense incompatible with the continuation of this work;

7. Does not interrupt seniority, but does not count towards it:

a) the time of study at a higher or secondary specialized educational institution (including at the preparatory department) or stay in graduate school or clinical residency, if the break between the day of release from work and the day of enrollment for study did not exceed the time limits established by these Rules, depending on the reason dismissal, and a break between the day of graduation or early expulsion from educational institution(postgraduate studies, clinical residency) and the day of entry to work did not exceed three months. For those who graduated from an educational institution (postgraduate study, clinical residency) or were prematurely expelled from an educational institution (postgraduate study, clinical residency) before July 1, 1973 and who entered work before October 1, 1973, continuous work experience is maintained regardless of the length of the break between the day of graduation institution (postgraduate, clinical residency) or early expulsion from an educational institution (postgraduate, clinical residency) and the day of entry to work;

c) an off-season break, if an employee at a given enterprise, institution, organization worked the previous season in full, concluded an employment contract for work in the next season and returned to work within the period established by the contract. This rule applies in those industries National economy where the current legislation allows the summation of periods of seasonal work when calculating continuous work experience;

d) the time spent in a medical-labor dispensary, provided that the interval between the day of release from the medical-labor dispensary and the day of entry to work did not exceed one month;

If during the period of admission to a new job, which stipulates the preservation of continuous work experience, the employee was temporarily unable to work and submitted a certificate of this, issued by a medical institution signed by the attending physician and chief physician, certified by a seal, then this period is extended by the number of days of incapacity for work. In the event that a disability is established for an employee during this period, the continuous work experience is calculated in the manner provided for in paragraphs. "b" p. 3 of these Rules.

9. The presidiums of regional, regional, republican (in republics that do not have a regional division), Moscow and Kyiv city councils of trade unions, at the request of trade union committees, may, in exceptional cases, if there are good reasons, restore continuous work experience for the purpose of assigning benefits for state social insurance.

10. The duration of the continuous work experience of workers and employees is established by the administration of the enterprise, institution, organization in accordance with entries in work books or on the basis of other properly executed documents.

11. Control over the correctness of the establishment of continuous work experience by the administration is carried out by trade union organizations.

The time spent by employees in the service in the internal affairs bodies is counted in their total and continuous work experience, as well as in the length of service in the specialty for following conditions: one year of service for one and a half years of work experience, and the period of service in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, as well as in areas with severe climatic conditions and under special conditions - respectively one year of service for two years or two years and six months of work experience in accordance with the lists of specialties and localities approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

In addition, according to Art. 256 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), for the period of parental leave, the employee retains his/her place of work (position).

Leaves for childcare are counted in the general and continuous labor, as well as in the length of service in the specialty (with the exception of cases of granting a pension on preferential terms). But in accordance with Art. 260 Before maternity leave or immediately after it, or at the end of parental leave, a woman, at her request, is granted annual paid leave, regardless of the length of service in this organization.

Continuous work experience only affects the payment of sick leave, but the current Federal Law of December 29, 2004 N 202-FZ "On the budget of the Social Insurance Fund for 2005", art. 8 of which limits the maximum amount of temporary disability benefits for a full calendar month to the amount of 12,480 rubles.

Re: Continuous work experience

Those. it turns out that continuity is considered by the dates of entries in the work book?

Continuous work experience according to the Labor Code


Labor at various enterprises, industries involved in various fields of activity makes it possible to accumulate seniority. When it is considered continuous, where information about it is reflected and whether it is possible to calculate it yourself. we propose to understand.

What is continuous work experience?


This is the amount of consecutive hours worked without any interruptions. It can be when carrying out activities with one employer, as well as with several, but if the time between transitions was not more than the allowable periods established by laws.

For hours worked to be considered inseparable, the period when a person was unemployed (not employed anywhere) should be no more than 1-3 months, depending on a number of related reasons.

What does continuous work experience affect and why is it needed?

Previously, the size of the future old-age pension directly depended on the number of years worked. However, in 2002, the Legislative bodies of the Russian Federation carried out a reform that abolished the effect of continuous work experience on the calculation of pensions. At all enterprises, all employers make insurance premiums for each employee every month. Accordingly, now for the calculation of old-age benefits, the main indicators will be wages and contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

The principle works: the higher the salary, the higher the amount of deductions.

Upon the onset of temporary disability, that is, illness, for calculating the hospital allowance, the data of the length of service without interruptions were taken into account. 60%, 80%, 100%, depending on the total continuous experience.

Since 2007, for such a calculation, an indicator of insurance experience is required. However, if its duration before January 1, 2007 is less than the continuous amount of hours worked, then the calculation will be made according to the second indicator.

In addition, this indicator is required to calculate certain types of allowances for workers in certain areas of activity.

When is continuous work experience maintained?

Continuous work experience is maintained if the break is 1-3 months. Let's consider some of the nuances.

A gap of 1 month is allowed if the employee left work on his own without a competent reason.

A two-month break is acceptable for foreign citizens of friendly states with which the Russian Federation has concluded an agreement, residents of the Far North and persons performing their activities outside the borders of the Russian Federation.

In case of liquidation or reorganization of an enterprise, and as a result, a reduction in the number of employees, as well as in case of temporary disability or leaving the enterprise due to health reasons, a three-month “delay” is established.

Mothers raising disabled children under 16 years of age, having children under the age of 14, including those taken under guardianship and guardianship or adopted, pregnant women in cases of termination of their employment contract have the right to maintain continuous work experience.

If a wife or husband is transferred to work in another area, as a result, the second spouse (wife) will need to quit, and in this case, the experience will also not be interrupted.

Continuous work experience for calculating seniority

Length of service is a kind of continuity of hours worked, determined from the number of years worked for this. Upon reaching it, the employee has the privilege to receive all kinds of allowances and benefits.

Most often, this type of pension applies to workers in the Far North, military personnel, teachers and other categories of specialists. Employees in these areas have the right to receive a superannuation pension, and this does not cancel the appointment of an old-age pension.

How to calculate continuous work experience in a work book - an example

A work book is a document containing information about the periods of work of an employee, dates of admission and dismissal. Her help is needed to calculate the years worked (length of service). In addition, it is personal and is set up for each employee individually. It should be kept in the personnel department. It reflects the last name, first name, patronymic, year of birth, education received and specialization, profession - personal data of the employee.

The date of commencement of work is 11.09.1998, dismissal 24.03.2013.

The following algorithm is required for the calculation:

  • 1. On the day of dismissal, the employee also works, so we use the following formula: day of dismissal - day of employment +1 = number of days: 24-11 + 1 = 14 days.
  • 2. The following is the calculation of months: 3-9=-6, the result less than zero, we take a unit from the number of years, that is, 12 months (1 year \u003d 12 months): 12-3-9 \u003d 0 years.
  • 3. Calculation of years: 2013 - 1998-1= 14 years. (1 in this case is an occupied unit).

Total turned out: 14 years 0 months 14 days.

If, when calculating days, 30-31 days turned out, you need to convert them to months, and if there are 12 of them, then to a year.

The calculation is made when working at several enterprises in turn.

Date of adoption 13.04.1997. Date of dismissal 15.06.2009.

Date of adoption 18.07.2009. Date of dismissal 26.09.2016.

1. Days are calculated:

2. Calculation of months:

  • a) for the first period of work, the result was: 12 years, 2 months, 3 days.
  • b) according to the second: 7 years, 2 months, 7 days.

We summarize, and we get the total labor indicator: 19 years, 4 months, 10 days.

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

The need for continuous work experience

The total service life is understood as 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 human rights to pension contributions as of 01.01.2002.

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

The pension fund takes into account only documented labor activity. As a rule, such papers are a book and work contracts, where the service life appears. Registration of benefits is allowed if there is a service life of 20 years for women and 25 years for the male population. In the event that the performance indicators are lower, then the amount of subsidies is reduced in volume.

What kind of service life is considered continuous

The term of continuous service for a pension is not fixed in the current Russian laws, therefore it represents the time within which the service in a certain position was carried out. Nevertheless, this concept has an impact on the formation of pension increases and the receipt of additional benefits. However, it does not play a major role in the calculation of future security, but only acts as a premium.

How to save and break conditions


In a number of situations, a citizen has the right to keep the period of labor activity, even if at that time he was in the status of "dismissed". Accordingly, a certain gap between employment has specific boundaries.

Maintaining an uninterrupted seniority for retirement is possible under the following circumstances:

  1. The father or mother of an HIV-positive child may quit their job. In order to maintain the term of employment, it is necessary to return the activity at the time the child enters the age of majority.
  2. In a situation where the term of service was restored by a citizen who issued the right to a well-deserved rest. This is true in relation to military personnel, persons employed in law enforcement agencies, as well as in a number of other areas. In this case, it does not matter after what interval the renewal occurred, the continuous experience will be preserved.

In all other cases, the periods when the worker was officially registered in the organization are considered as permanent service. When leaving one company and moving to another, the experience is retained by the person. The rule applies if unemployment did not exceed the 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 draft law of 2019, the concept of continuous work activities loses its original meaning. In view of this, it is used only in a number of settlement operations, for example, when forming the level of remuneration for a number of employees.

Note: continuous hours of work allow you to receive wage supplements and additional time for paid vacation.

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 ranks of the Russian army;
  • activities in the Department of Internal Affairs and other law enforcement agencies;
  • maternity leave;
  • the time allotted for looking after the child until the age of 1.5 years;
  • officially established unemployment with supporting documents from the Employment Center;
  • looking after incompetent citizens, including those over the age of 80;
  • a time period spent in places not so remote;
  • annual paid vacation;
  • on sick leave in the presence of official work;
  • employment on a public and social basis;
  • the period of transfer of voluntary pension contributions;
  • conducting individual business activities.
For your information: after the entry into force of the pension reform in 2002, the situation has changed radically. To date, the number of years of work and the amount of wages are taken into account for citizens born before 1963 and who ceased their activities before the reform.

In order to establish an uninterrupted length of service for a pension as a determination of the right to receive an insurance benefit, within the framework of the service or other work that took place before the entry into force of the Federal Law, labor periods are taken into account. The appointment of a pension is carried out in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation at the time of conducting activities. 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 a citizen.

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

  • study took place without interruption from work;
  • training ended before 01.01.92 for persons employed in the medical and teaching fields;
  • internship.

Grounds for interruption

In Russian laws, situations are recorded when the experience is interrupted. Such cases relate to the termination of contractual relations with the employer, namely:

  1. Regular refusal to fulfill the obligations assumed, prescribed in the contract or the organization's regulations.
  2. The presence of absenteeism and absence from the place for more than three hours, as well as coming to work in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication.
  3. The impossibility of fulfilling obligations due to the entry into force of an agreement on depriving a person of liberty, bringing to public useful work and other.
  4. The proven fact of theft at the enterprise of goods and materials, as well as the loss of confidence from the management of the organization.
  5. Committing an immoral act incompatible with the position.
  6. Availability disciplinary action in accordance with the company's articles of association.
  7. Proven fault of the employee, providing for dismissal on the basis of an article or the initiative of the director.

Calculation of the continuous duration of work according to the work book


The question naturally arises among workers, how much continuous service is needed for retirement. In this case, it is important to make a calculation.

The process provides for accounting for actual work equal to 12 months. The calculation procedure was established in December 28, 2013.

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

To carry out the calculation on your own, you need to have on hand work book and other documentation pointing to the service. Such papers are contracts, certificates from archives and more. After the documents are collected, you can proceed to the calculation:

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

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

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

What influences continuous work experience

Uninterrupted work experience for pension contributions does not stop if there is unemployment 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


In the history of the pension system, 2015 was a turning point in the appointment of payments, since the service life no longer affects the amount of security. In 2019, insurance premiums are formed, deducted by the employer in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

To obtain the right to take a well-deserved rest, you should have a duration of work of 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 people will accumulate a period of 15 years. If working off is not enough, then a person has the right to claim only social benefits, that is, the minimum living wage.

However, the amount 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 for the possibility of self-calculation using a calculator. Using the application, you can independently determine (approximately) future benefits based on the following indicators:

  • age category;
  • overtime processing;
  • coefficients;
  • other individual factors.
For your information: the volume of payments for temporary incapacity (sick leave) is not affected by continuous activity.

Accounting for continuous service when calculating benefits


The following time intervals are accepted for accounting for the service life:

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

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

Persons residing in foreign countries also have the right to receive a pension, but only the detail carried out on the territory of the country will be taken into account. If a person was able to receive a service allowance, then the amount of the insured part will be taken into account only on the basis of civil service.

Documentary confirmation of activity is necessary only when working until 04/01/1996, the remaining intervals are independently monitored by employees of the Pension Fund of Russia according to 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 amount of tax deductions reaches the minimum threshold.

The length of service is continuous and general, even in our time has not lost its relevance.

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

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

To the younger generation, which began its labor activity relatively recently, it is already difficult to understand why it is needed. Today, even according to 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 seniority years changed, continuous seniority 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 cause for pride. At that time, the length of service was calculated by only one value - labor, that is, how much you actually worked, so are yours. In addition, the interruption of seniority had a negative impact on almost all other state payments. especially significant this concept was for future pension benefits, because the absence of breaks was the reason for receiving a supplement to the amount earned. Other benefits, such as disability pay, allowances for, 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 seniority, then he automatically lost a significant part of the payments, which could only be restored after several years worked.

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

These include:

  1. Employees who start receiving special allowances after a year of service.
  2. Civil servants also have an increasing percentage of payments after a year of service.
  3. Employees of the Department of Internal Affairs and military personnel can count on an addition to salaries only after two years.

Medical workers are also encouraged for continuity of work in one profession, they are entitled to a salary increase after they have worked for three years.

Another significant indicator is disability benefits. It should be calculated based on insurance periods. Then what does it affect? The absence of breaks within 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 seniority

If this value is relevant today, then it makes sense to figure out how it is determined. When is work experience terminated?

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

Continuous work experience is maintained if:

  1. Between dismissal and employment with a new employer, no more than one month passed. This rule applies to the general order of calculus.
  2. A break of three months is allowed for those who have lost their jobs as a result of the liquidation of the employing organization or a partial reduction in the staff, under which the dismissed person fell.
  3. The same three months are given to workers who have lost their jobs as a result of medical conditions. For example, for health reasons, a citizen was recommended to change his profession, but the transfer within the organization turned out to be impossible, so he was fired.
  4. Combatants and former military personnel can also search for three months without compromising continuity.
  5. Two months is 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 the identified illegal actions of the employee.

These include:

  1. Theft.
  2. Damage to property.
  3. Deficiency detection.
  4. absenteeism.
  5. Alcohol or drug intoxication established at the workplace.
  6. Disclosure of secrets.
  7. Exceeding official authority.

If the employee himself quits without obvious reasons, and the second time in 12 months, then the length of service will be interrupted.

Does the length of service affect the appointment of a pension?

Prior to 2007, continuity was crucial in the award of pension benefits. In the presence of a certain number of years worked in a row, pensioners received a significant pension supplement.

In 2018, when assigning a pension benefit, the PFR relies on the clauses of Federal Law No. 255-FZ “On Compulsory 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, it is worth counting on the number of accumulated insurance years and the size of the individual coefficient.

The length of service today is the primary value in the appointment of pension benefits.

What is important is not how many years a person actually worked, but how many years they were deducted for him in the FSS and the PFR. The insurance years include not only the time of work, but also service in the army, caring for newborn children, looking after the elderly and many other periods. The determining factor is the amount of income, and, accordingly, the amount of deducted taxes that the employee received. Income affects the level of the individual coefficient, which is used to calculate the pension.

Pension amounts are made up of several values:

  1. Social minimum allowance.
  2. The sum insured that has been accumulated in parallel.
  3. Own voluntary savings, if they were made.

Modern pension reform is designed for a gradual increase in insurance indicators, which subsequently should significantly increase the income of older people. However, it does not provide for incremental factors for the continuity of work.
