Analysis of the procedure for calculating and proof of seniority. The procedure for calculating work experience. What is included in the insurance period
Instructions for using the seniority calculator
- If you know your seniority on a certain date, then enter in the field "Experience on date" a specific day and the number of years, months, days of experience on that day. These fields are optional, but if you have these data, it will significantly reduce your count.
- In the fields "Date of employment" and "Date of dismissal", enter your dates, for example, according to the work book. Be sure to fill in at least one line of this table.
- The “Additional periods” may include such periods as: being in the state or municipal service, the period of work as an individual entrepreneur, the period of receiving unemployment benefits, caring for a disabled person or an elderly relative, and others. A complete list of such periods is described below, in the paragraph "What is included in the insurance period".
- Select the required value from the drop-down lists if you have served in the military or were on parental leave.
- Click "CALCULATE". You can save the result to a doc file.
Also take into account:
- Use the Today button (circle with a dot) to quickly insert the current date.
- Use adding, deleting and clearing the necessary fields with the corresponding buttons for faster and more convenient entering and changing information.
Legislative basis for calculating seniority
citizens Russian Federation calculate their seniority in accordance with the Federal Law "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation" No. 173, which entered into force on 01.01.2002.
At present, there is no concept of "work experience" in the law; since December 31, 2001, it has been replaced by a revised term "insurance experience", that is, the period during which a working citizen made contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from his salary, and other periods legally justified added to them. However, the phrase "work experience" is often used interchangeably.
Insurance experience is the duration of periods of work and other activities during which insurance premiums were paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
Why know your insurance experience
The insurance period is used to calculate the payments due to the citizen and various preferences:
- payments for temporary disability due to health - sick leave payments (the time during which the employee was insured on this basis is taken into account);
- the possibility of going on annual paid leave (continuous time of work for the same employer is taken into account, after which such a right comes).
What is included in the insurance period
The legislation of the Russian Federation clearly defines the periods that are taken into account as insurance experience . These include, first of all, those months of work in which deductions were made as contributions to the FIU. They may be:
- cooperation in accordance with the concluded labor contract;
- being in the state civil service;
- municipal service;
- period of work as an IP.
Citizens accumulate insurance experience not only during actual work, but also in other periods provided for by the Federal Law, if after or before this period the person was officially employed:
- time of military service or activities equated to it;
- the first part of maternity leave (for pregnancy and childbirth);
- the period of receiving unemployment benefits, the period of participation in paid public works and the period of moving or resettlement in the direction of the state employment service to another locality for employment;
- in the case of detention of persons who have been unreasonably brought to criminal responsibility, unreasonably repressed, as well as in the case of serving their sentences by these persons in places of deprivation of liberty and exile;
- care for a baby up to 1.5 years old (separately for mom or dad);
- caring for a disabled person of the 1st group, a disabled child or an elderly relative who has reached the age of 80;
- for the spouses of military or diplomatic representatives - the time that they accompanied their halves and at the same time did not have the opportunity to find a job (no more than 5 years in total).
The length of service required both for calculating the pension and for sending on paid leave, the following periods are included:
- actually worked days;
- weekends, holidays and days off;
- the time of saving a place for an employee who, for some reason, does not actually perform work duties (decree, vacation, sick leave, etc.);
- travel time to another locality in the direction of public service;
- unjustified detention;
- forced absenteeism;
- community service time, if paid.
What is not included in the insurance period
All other periods of time not provided for by law.
Counting Features
When entering data into the calculator, you must adhere to the requirements prescribed in the relevant article of the Federal Law on the calculation of pensions.
- calendar order. It is necessary to take into account the dates indicated in the work book or tax returns (for individual entrepreneurs). If two or more insurance periods coincide, as a rule, one of them (more beneficial for the recipient of the pension) is taken into account.
- RF only. If a citizen has the right to a pension under foreign laws, then in the part in which they do not coincide with the norms of the Russian Federation, this time will not be taken into account when calculating the length of service.
- Labor in subsistence farming. Self-supporting people, members of farms and various communities can include the time of their work in the length of service if they made contributions to the FIU.
- Work for an individual. If a person worked for another person in accordance with the concluded contract, this period is considered insurance if the corresponding contributions were paid.
- Author's royalties. Persons who sold copyrights to their works, as well as licenses, patents, etc., if they paid contributions to the FIU from the funds received not less than the established amount, may include a period proportional to their contributions to their length of service.
- No retroactive effect. If, according to the previous legislation of the Russian Federation, certain periods were included in the seniority, which was subsequently changed, they can be added to their total insurance experience.
2015 was, in a sense, revolutionary in terms of Russian legislation: the law, which created a wide resonance in society, was introduced pension reform, in addition, innovations were identified that affected the accrual seniority.
federal law“On labor pensions in the Russian Federation” dated January 1, 2015, the procedure for accruing seniority was approved, and there was also a separation of such concepts as labor and insurance seniority.
Seniority is a period of time in which a citizen was engaged in a particular labor activity: this also includes training, maternity leave and other concepts, which we will discuss in more detail a little later.
Insurance experience- this is the period for which a citizen (or a legal entity that has taken responsibility for material contributions for a citizen to a social service) made financial contributions to the Pension Fund.
If before the pension depended solely on the length of service, now the insurance experience is taken as the basis, and only then the length of service is calculated, for which the coefficients are calculated. And now let's find out how to calculate the length of service.
How to calculate the length of service according to the work book?
So, before talking about counting the years of labor activity, it is worth understanding the essence of the concept itself.
Seniority is a total unit of time for which a citizen carried out any socially useful activity that gives him the right to receive pension and social insurance, namely:
- Fulfillment of their labor duties in a particular enterprise.
- The time spent on business trips or going to study (correspondence form) while maintaining one's job is also included in the length of service.
- Time of military service.
- Maternity leave to care for a child (upon reaching 1.5 years).
- The period of time spent in places of deprivation of liberty (repressed citizens under a political article) in the event that after these persons were rehabilitated and their civil rights were restored.
There is also the concept of special work experience. Let's understand what is meant by it.
Citizens who fall under special experience:
- Those who received a disability group (1 or 2) during the performance of their work duties.
- Persons working in hazardous industries (hot shops, mines, oil rigs, etc.).
- Categories of persons entitled to seniority benefits (military, teachers, doctors).
- employment history;
- calculator or better, PC 1C program;
- some free time.
We summarize the time intervals during which the citizen worked (including studying in absentia, was in the public service, served in the army, was on maternity leave, which cannot exceed 1.5 years). First we count the years, then the months and days.
For example, Petrov Vasily Ivanovich got a job as an engineer at an auto-building plant on March 11, 2004.
But already on September 13, 2008, Vasily Ivanovich resigned of his own free will. On December 14, 2009, he again got a job as a manager in a trading company, where he worked until April 21, 2015.
Question: what is the work experience of citizen Petrov?
So, according to the results of labor activity at the first place of work, a person received 4 years, 4 months and 4 days of work experience. Second place - 6 years, 5 months, 7 days. Using a good mental account or calculator (for those who have long forgotten math lessons), we calculate: 4 + 6 / 4 + 5 / 4 + 7 = 10 years / 9 months / 11 days. Very good even when calculating a pension.
There is some difference between the regular length of employment and the northern option. In the first case, a standard calculation coefficient is implied, in the second - the accrual of additional allowances, which are established for the complexity of the work performed and its harm to health.
In addition, if you have northern experience, there are a number of benefits that are also taken into account when applying for a pension.
The procedure for determining the insurance period
As noted above, the insurance experience is a completely different concept from the length of service.
This is the amount of cash contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation that were made for a specific period of time.
Today, not only the pension depends on the length of service, but also the amount of monetary compensation for sick leave, as well as maternity leave. How is the length of service for the sick leave and the amount of payments calculated?
According to Federal Law No. 255, namely, Art. 7, in case of temporary disability, a citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to:
- 100% compensation from the average salary if his insurance period is more than eight years;
- 80%, with five to eight years of experience;
- And only 60% of the average monthly salary, if the experience is less than five years.
It is worth saying that the insurance period includes not only those deductions that are made by a citizen (or a legal entity representing his rights - the employer), but also social benefits unemployment, maternity, hospital compensation.
The procedure for calculating the insurance period
Let's consider how to calculate the insurance experience according to the work book.
The rules for calculating the insurance period are enshrined in a decree of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, which was published on February 6, 2007.
According to the rules, the length of service is determined primarily by entries in the work book, which are compared with data from the tax service (whether tax deductions were made).
If there is an entry in the work book, and no deductions were received for this period, then the citizen may have serious problems. We will have to explain why taxes were not paid, which today is a rather important issue, evasion of which is punished very severely.
After the entries in the work book are calculated and verified, a calculation is carried out and a thorough study of all the periods for which the citizen received any social benefits at the time of temporary unemployment. They are charged a percentage, which also goes to the length of service. True, this percentage is a meager amount, so you should not rely on this indicator alone. In order for the pension and sick leave to be worthy, one has to work honestly and for a long time, exclusively on white wages. Paying in an envelope will result in no pension.
Paragraph 21 of the Rules emphasizes that the length of service is calculated in the order of calendar sequence. First, the days of service are counted, then this figure is divided by 30 (the number of days in a month. It is worth saying that to simplify the work, a calendar month is considered to be thirty days), and then the result is divided by 12 (the number of months in a year).
This method allows you to calculate quickly and practically without errors. But if there is a desire to achieve clearer results, then you should use another method. Its essence lies in the fact that the days, months and years spent in employment, during which financial contributions were made to the social service (Pension Fund). And only when they are summed up, the final figure is divided by 30 (so we get the number of full months of experience), or by 12 - the number of years.
For example:
Citizen Vasilyeva Lyubov Anatolyevna was on sick leave from 12 to 19 March 2015. She has been working at the enterprise since March 15, 2008.
In addition to this entry in the workbook, there are the following:
- Auto-aggregate plant - from June 20, 2006 to October 28, 2007.
- JSC "Tormashprodukt" - from December 9, 2007 to February 28, 2008.
In order to calculate the duration of labor or other socially useful activity of a person - him - it is necessary to have documents confirming this activity. The main one is a citizen in which the employer had to fix the dates of admission and work.
If any periods of work were not recorded in it, a person must find any other supporting documents: extracts from orders, archival certificates, employment contracts.
It is necessary to calculate according to entries in the work book or other documents in the following order:
- Write down all the dates of employment (for ease of calculation, write in a column).
- In the column opposite we put the dates of dismissal.
- Calculate the number of days, months and years for each work period.
- Add up the results in days.
- Select from the received sum full months and from them years.
For example:
1. In accordance with the records in the documents, we write out the periods of work:
2. We calculate the number of working days for each period.
- 01/18/2003–09/13/2001 = 6 days, 4 months, 1 year
- 08/23/2008–02/01/2003 = 23 days, 6 months, 5 years
- 04/23/2015–11/1/2008 = 23 days, 5 months, 6 years
3. We sum up and get 52 days, 15 months, 12 years.
4. Days are translated into months at the rate of 1 month = 30 days, 52 days is 1 month, 22 days. Add this month to 15 months and convert them to years. 1 year and 4 months. As a result, we get 13 years, 4 months and 22 days - seniority.
In addition to entries in the work book from places of work, other periods are also included in the length of service:
- service in the army, in the internal affairs bodies;
- after his birth;
- time of receipt , ;
- the periods during which the transfer was carried out according to the destination;
- time spent on socially useful work;
- time spent in places of deprivation of liberty with a subsequent acquittal;
- the time of caring for a disabled person of the first group, as well as a disabled child or a person who has reached the age of eighty years and needs constant care.
Online calculator
To simplify calculations and to avoid possible errors, you can use an online calculator. This program is designed in such a way that automatically every 30 days are converted into a month, and 12 months into a year.
This article will discuss the concept and types of work experience. This topic is extremely important for the modern population. Especially for those who hope to retire and live on the appropriate government benefits. What do you need to know about work experience? How is it calculated? What is it all about? All of these questions will be answered below. If you carefully study the current legislation, then there will be no problems with such a topic.
Definition
The concept and types of work experience have nothing incomprehensible. Length of service refers to the total duration of employment.
Usually, only periods of official employment are included in the length of service. They are written in a special document.
In addition, the mentioned component includes the periods of time in which the citizen carried out entrepreneurial activities. This is a fairly common occurrence. Running your own business is not reflected in the employment document, but it will be possible to take a certificate from the FIU or the Federal Tax Service stating that the applicant worked "for himself" at a certain time.
About Calculus
Calculation of seniority is not a hassle. As we have already said, we are dealing with the total duration of a person's work for a lifetime. This period is calculated in years. Then months and weeks follow. Only then - days.
To calculate the experience of formal employment, you just need to add together all the periods in which a person worked. And to them you will need to add some special periods of time that are not considered employment, but bring a person closer to retirement. They will be discussed later. 
Varieties
The concept and types of work experience are of interest to every person who counts on state support in old age. After all, the mentioned component plays an important role in calculating the pension.
Work experience is different types. Namely:
- continuous;
- insurance;
- general insurance;
- special.
What can be attributed to each item? And what happens when you get a work experience? How to properly document it?
Continuous work period
Continuous experience is a concept that has sunk into oblivion in Russia. It was actively used in the USSR, but in the modern Russian Federation the significance of this component has been lost.
Continuous experience is the period of work of a person in the same field of activity without dismissal. Most often, work in a particular company is implied.
Previously, the presence of continuous work experience brought the employee closer to retirement faster. In addition, such personnel were valued, they were given certain state bonuses. But now continuous experience does not give any special opportunities. And therefore, they are not particularly eager for it. 
Insurance
The concept and types of insurance work experience are also of interest to many. Since 2015, in Russia, the importance of the duration of a person’s work has partially depreciated. After all, now when you retire, the insurance record plays a decisive role.
This is the name of the periods in which deductions were made to the FIU for a citizen. For example, during official employment or while in the status of an individual entrepreneur.
Insurance experience is general, labor and non-labor. In the first case, the sum of working and non-working periods is implied, in the second - official employment, in the third - special cases that can be considered work experience without a person having a job.
General insurance
We already more or less understand the legal meaning, concept and types of work experience. It is worth paying attention to the general insurance subtype.
As a rule, when calculating a pension in Russia, it is he who will play a decisive role. The total length of service includes, as already mentioned, all the periods in which certain deductions were made to the FIU for a person. This is the time of work, and doing business, and the use of special life situations.
It is easy to calculate this component. First you need to find out the length of service, then - non-working periods. Adding all this, we get the total duration of the item of interest to us. Most often, to clarify the situation, citizens come with SNILS to the FIU. Employees will quickly help to calculate the total insurance experience of a citizen.
Special works
The last alignment is a special seniority. The concept of this term is not interesting to all citizens. And only a few workers face it.
By special experience it is customary to understand the duration of a citizen's work in a particular field of activity. For example, when staying in a position that provides for early retirement due to seniority. 
This component plays a role under the following circumstances:
- appointment of pension payments for work in special conditions;
- superannuation pension.
The special duration of work often affects the allowances and other remuneration due to a person for length of service. Most often, the military, doctors and teachers face this form of experience.
About Confirmation
The main points related to the concept and types of seniority are now known to us. It is worth paying attention to the features of the topic being studied.
Confirmation of a person's work experience plays a huge role. Most often, evidence is presented by documents. But sometimes testimony is required.
Confirmation of seniority ideally occurs upon presentation of a work book to the FIU. All periods of official employment are recorded here. Also, any certificates indicating the time of opening and closing of the IP may be suitable as documents.
A military ID and certificates from the commissariat can also indicate the duration of a person's work. But in real life they are rarely used. Unless if a citizen has the right to receive an increased pension and various allowances.
Non-working periods
The institute of work experience necessarily includes non-work periods that will be counted in the insurance experience. Since 2015, after the entry into force of the new principles for calculating pensions, the government recommends actively using the proposed opportunities. After all, they will bring them closer to retirement without official employment. 
Unemployed periods include:
- conscription (urgent) and military service;
- care for children up to 1.5 years;
- caring for the disabled;
- registration as a caregiver for a citizen after 80 years;
- detention by mistake (illegal);
- receiving social benefits for temporary disability;
- living with a military spouse in an area where there is no place to work (no more than 5 years in total).
Accordingly, all the periods of life listed above will be taken into account when retiring. During them, transfers to the FIU take place. They are exactly what the citizens need!
About retirement
The concept and types of work experience are already known to us. But what about a citizen who decides to retire? After all, he will have to confirm the periods of official employment!
When assigning a pension, citizens will need the following package of papers:
- SNILS;
- passport;
- military ID (if available);
- employment history;
- extracts on the conduct of labor activity;
- certificates from the FIU on caring for the disabled and the elderly;
- birth certificates of children;
- account number to which the pension is to be transferred.
In addition, other statements may be required. For example, a marriage certificate and certificates of residence of a military spouse in areas that are problematic in terms of employment. This is quite normal.
As a rule, the calculation of seniority will be performed by employees of the FIU. All listed papers will be taken into account. But if desired, a person himself can find out what experience he has. 
Counting Methods
How to do it? The fundamentals of calculus have been brought to our attention earlier. Therefore, it is already approximately clear how you can find out your seniority.
Among the most effective solutions to this problem are:
- applying to the FIU with SNILS and a work book;
- self-calculation;
- use of special online calculators.
Independent clarification of their work experience often ends in failure. Errors and inaccuracies are identified. Therefore, it is better to either use calculators or seek help from the FIU.
About calculators
On the website of the Pension Fund of Russia for all citizens in the public domain there is an online length of service calculator. It allows, according to the data available to a person, to find out how much he has worked. And taking into account the current pension system, the pension points that a person has will be displayed on the screen.
It is not necessary to delve into the concept and types of work experience. It is enough just to enter data on doing business, non-work life moments and information from the work book into the appropriate fields in the calculator. After clicking on the "Calculate" button, the information of interest to us will appear on the screen. Very convenient and easy! Although, inexperienced Internet users can enter the requested information for a long time.
conclusions
We got acquainted with the concept and types of work experience. In addition, we studied non-working periods, which play an important role in calculating pensions.
In Russia, the retirement age for men so far is at 60, and for women at 55. With years of service, you can go on a well-deserved rest earlier. But the bulk of the population is faced with just such restrictions. 
By 2020, to retire, you will have to have a minimum insurance period of 15 years, as well as about 30 pension points. Previously, 5 years of work was enough. If a person does not score the required indicators, then he is entitled to a social pension. It is issued at 65 and 60 for men and women, respectively.
What if a person works unofficially? These periods are simply crossed out and do not count towards retirement. They are not included in work experience.
1. Calculation of the insurance experience is made in calendar order. In the event that the periods provided for by this Federal Law coincide in time, one of such periods is taken into account when calculating the insurance period at the choice of the person who applied for the establishment of an insurance pension.
2. The length of service does not include periods taken into account when establishing a pension in accordance with the legislation of a foreign state.
3. When calculating the insurance period, the periods of activity of persons who independently provide themselves with work, heads and members of peasant (farmer) households, members of family (tribal) communities of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation, engaged in traditional economic activities, periods of work at individuals(groups of individuals) under contracts are included in the insurance period, subject to the payment of insurance premiums to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
4. When calculating the length of service required for acquiring the right to an old-age insurance pension by citizens receiving a seniority pension or a disability pension in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 "On the pension provision of persons who underwent military service, service in the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, the bodies for the control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, the enforcement bodies of the Russian Federation, and their families", in the insurance length of service does not include periods of service that preceded the appointment of a disability pension, or periods of service, work and (or) other activities taken into account when determining the amount of a pension for length of service in accordance with this Law. At the same time, all periods that were included in the length of service are considered to be taken into account, including periods that do not affect the amount of the seniority pension or disability pension, in accordance with the specified Law.
(see text in previous edition)
5. When calculating the length of service required for acquiring the right to an old-age insurance pension by cosmonaut citizens receiving a seniority pension or a disability pension in accordance with Federal Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001 "On State Pension Provision in of the Russian Federation", the length of service does not include periods of work (service) and (or) other activities preceding the appointment of a disability pension, or periods of work (service) and other activities taken into account when determining the amount of the pension for long service in accordance with the specified Federal law, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty of the Russian Federation.
6. When calculating the insurance period, the periods of work during the full navigation period on water transport and during the full season in organizations of seasonal industries, determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, are taken into account in such a way that the duration of the insurance period in the corresponding calendar year is a full year.
7. Persons who performed work in the corresponding calendar year under copyright order agreements, as well as authors of works who received payments and other remuneration in the corresponding calendar year under agreements on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art, publishing license agreements, license agreements for granting the right to use a work of science, literature, art, if the total amount of paid insurance premiums to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations received under these agreements during this calendar year amounted to at least a fixed amount of the insurance premium for compulsory pension insurance, determined by in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees, the insurance period includes a period equal to a full calendar year (from January 1 to December 31), in which insurance premiums were paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remuneration under these contracts. In the event that the total amount of insurance premiums paid during the calendar year for the said persons is less than the fixed amount of the insurance premium for compulsory pension insurance, a period (in months) with a duration calculated in proportion to the paid insurance premiums, but not less than one calendar month, shall be included in the insurance period (30 days). The period counted in the insurance period in connection with the payment of insurance premiums to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remuneration under these contracts, if there are periods of work and (or) other activities, other periods in the corresponding calendar year, is taken into account in such a way that the insurance period for the corresponding calendar year did not exceed one year (12 months).
