Loss of experience. Continuous work experience: what does it affect?

Able-bodied citizens work not only to receive payment for the work performed, but also for the opportunity in the future to take advantage of social guarantees that are determined by the state.

Labor policy does not prohibit citizens from changing jobs at their own discretion, but allows them to count on some additional benefits.

What is meant by the concept of continuity and is continuous service interrupted after dismissal? This is always of interest to those who want to change jobs at their own request or due to current circumstances.

Continuous work experience means that an individual citizen carries out labor activities at one or several different enterprises, with the condition that the duration of periods without work will not exceed the legally permitted periods. are determined by the situation and can vary from one to three months, or even more.

When it comes to, it should be understood that only those periods when the employee was officially employed are taken into account.

The fact of employment in most cases is recorded in two ways:

1. Concluding a written employment agreement.
2. By recording in .

But for some reasons, the second point is not always applicable, however, the presence of officially confirmed labor relations allows us to talk about length of service as a legally established concept.

Changes in legislation

Until 2007, the concept of continuous work experience was far from hypothetical. Before the latest pension reforms in the Russian Federation, length of service was the only definition of periods worked; it affected all payments, and benefits were calculated from its value.

After the adoption of Federal Law No. 255-FZ “On Compulsory Social Insurance...” dated December 29, 2006 and its entry into force at the beginning of 2017, this concept lost some of its properties. The new rules for calculating length of service divided it into two subsections - and insurance.

The insurance period has the greatest impact on future payments. When calculating the insurance period, those years are taken into account when the employee was not only officially employed, but the employer paid insurance contributions to the social insurance fund for him. In turn, the concept of working periods also remains; it implies the total number of years and months worked, without taking into account the presence or absence of contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

Does continuity of service matter?

Before social reforms, those who worked continuously had many advantages.

Many other benefits had to be calculated differently. In addition, those who worked continuously could count on a salary increase after the first year of work, which increased with the number of years worked continuously.

Long service bonuses are still awarded today to the following categories of workers:

1. State employees who have one or more years of continuous work experience.
2. Civil servants with identical indicators.
3. For employees of the internal affairs department, accruals begin from two years of service.
4. length of service also begins after 2 years.

Length of service is not mandatory for commercial structures, so its appointment remains at the discretion of the owner of the organization. In the Russian Federation, percentage allowances vary depending on the field of activity of employees.

The continuity of work experience for many professions makes it possible to receive bonuses of a different nature, which are given specifically for length of service in a specific field, for example, to medical workers. These allowances can be maintained even if you change employer if two conditions are met:

1. Between dismissal and employment at a new place of work, no more than the period prescribed by law will pass.
2. The work will be identical in scope, for example, from one budget institution to another or from one hospital to another.

But permanent work experience can also influence other aspects. Let's take a closer look at how it can affect pension benefits and compensation for days of incapacity.

To calculate pension

Before the start of pension reforms, continuity of work experience was a fundamental point in the assignment of benefits. If a worker had a certain number of continuously worked years in his labor account, then he could count on receiving pension supplements. Those who did not reach the established parameter were given smaller amounts of payments.

Today, this law applies only to those citizens who were born before 1963 and retired before 2002. All other categories can count on calculations according to the new rules, which take the insurance years and the size of the individual coefficient as the main basis. The coefficient does not increase depending on how long the employee has worked continuously; it is affected by the amount of insurance contributions.

To calculate a pension in modern realities, a citizen is required to work for at least five years in total (this figure will grow every year). To increase the size of the pension benefit, citizens can not only accumulate, but also make independent contributions to the treasury of a future pension.

To calculate sick leave

Changes in the calculation of length of service affected not only pensions, but also disability benefits.

For sick leave days before 2007, accruals were made in several categories, including the amount of compensation influenced by continuity of work. Today we are talking only about the existing total insurance period. The more years an employee has paid insurance premiums, the greater the percentage of compensation he can receive.

Sick leave is compensated in the following amount:

1. For an insurance period of less than five years – 60% of the accrued amount.
2. Having from five to eight years – 80%.
3. Those who have accumulated more than eight years of insurance will receive 100% of the benefits.

When calculating compensation, the number of sick days and the employee’s average salary per day are taken into account.

Continuity after dismissal

How is the continuous period calculated? Does it end at the moment of dismissal or does it continue under certain conditions? The answers to these questions are regulated by law.

In most cases, continuity is maintained if no more than a month has passed between the moment of termination of the employment contract and the conclusion of a new one. There are exceptions to this rule; we will consider them separately:

1. Employees who are subject to staff reduction or complete liquidation of the organization are given three months to find a new job. During this period, continuity is maintained.
2. If the dismissal is directly related to the employee’s health, then he is also given three months.
3. Citizens with the status of former military personnel or those who participated in hostilities are entitled to a three-month break.
4. Those working under these conditions can spend two months looking for another job.

The following may also count on certain benefits:

1. Working pensioners.
2. Parents of disabled children.
3. Those who quit due to the appointment of a spouse to another locality.

Registration with the employment center is not considered an employment relationship, and therefore cannot be counted towards continuous service.

Cases of interruption of service

The deadlines established by the legislation of the Russian Federation may not be taken into account if the employer decided to dismiss the employee, moreover, due to a violation of the norms of the Labor Code.

Such cases include all those dismissals that were made due to:

1. Establishing the fact of theft.
2. Causing damage to the tenant's property.
3. Abuse of professional authority.
4. Absenteeism.
5. Appearing at work in a state of alcohol or drugs.
6. Disclosure of confidential information.

Continuity will not be observed in the case where an employee resigns of his own free will for the second time in a year, without having good reasons for such an action.

Calculation order

To calculate continuously worked time, a citizen’s work book is needed. The entries in it allow you to calculate the total duration of a continuous segment of work.

To calculate you should:

1. Write down all places of work in order, indicating the date of admission to the staff and the date of dismissal.
2. Calculate the difference in dates between dismissal and new employment.

When calculating, other documentation should also be taken into account, if any, for example, work that was not noted in the work book, but was proven by other papers. We should not forget that military service and parental leave are also included in continuous periods, subject to certain conditions.

Changing jobs is a common occurrence in modern society. In the process of moving from company to company, many citizens try to maintain previously earned work experience.

This is done so that in the future, when the need arises to receive cash payments for temporary disability, to calculate length of service, or to apply for a pension, the duration of continuous work and the availability of the corresponding length of service will be correctly calculated. Our article will tell you when work experience is interrupted after dismissal.

Before starting to consider the nuances of labor continuity, it is advisable to decide what it is. Until 2007, the concept of “work experience” was used in Russia, but then other legislative norms came into force, which replaced this concept with “insurance period”.

Why do you need experience?

But if we consider them on their merits, these are the periods of time when the employee performs his functional duties, and when changing his work activity (the company where he works), the break between the day of dismissal and the subsequent hiring should not be more than the period specified by law.

Classically, the break is agreed upon for a month. But this duration can increase and decrease. It all depends on the citizen’s working conditions and the article under which he was fired. In particular, the law provides for conditions when there are no periods at all after dismissal, allowing the length of service to be considered continuous. These include:

1. Dismissal that took place on the initiative of the employer, due to the employee’s violation of functional duties.
2. Termination of employment relations with an employee due to absenteeism.
3. When an employee was dismissed under an article for theft of company property.
4. Termination of an employment agreement with a worker who appears at work in a state of intoxication (alcohol, drugs).
5. Other gross violations of labor discipline (for which there are articles for dismissal).

Certain periods when the employee did not actually perform the labor functions assigned to him, but he retained his job, are considered continuous service for all types of calculations. These periods include:

• service in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian Federation;
• periods of pregnancy, in women;
• when an employee is sent by an enterprise to advanced training courses;
• on-the-job training in various educational institutions.

Remember, if an employee was fired “under an article”, the gap in length of service taking into account work activity will begin to be calculated from the next day following the dismissal. Proof of this will be the corresponding entry, which will be recorded in the work book.

What does continuity of experience affect?

Now that we have the concept of length of service, it is advisable to consider why it is necessary to maintain its continuity and why it is important to ensure that length of service is always taken into account continuously. Regarding continuity, it should be noted that there is a direct dependence during the calculation of the due cash benefit. Depending on the length of service, the employee will receive:

1. 100% of average monthly earnings when continuous work is over 8 years;
2. 80% is paid when the employee has accumulated from 5 to 8 years of continuous work experience;
3. 60% will be paid to employees who have worked for over a year (up to 5 years inclusive).

Experience affects the amount of sick leave payments

The next point, which directly depends on the amount of labor baggage a citizen has, is the size of his future pension. You need to understand that a change in the concept of length of service in insurance took place in 2007. Therefore, citizens who began their working activity before this turning point and continue it now will benefit from both new legislation and old laws.

If previously pensions were affected by all periods when a citizen performed labor or socially significant functions, today, in order to receive a pension, it is necessary to pay insurance premiums for a certain number of years. This is the main fundamental difference between labor and updated insurance experience.

Remember, the main document that serves as the basis for calculating seniority is the employee’s work book. Regarding the calculation of the insurance period, the main role here is played by the availability of monthly insurance payments directly to the Pension Fund. They must be carried out by the employer.

We should also not forget that in certain government institutions the continuity of work experience directly depends on the calculation of additional payments related to length of service. Interruption of length of service means the beginning of the calculation of the period for calculating these payments from the date of last employment, if the reason for the gap exceeds that provided for by law or the previous dismissal occurred under an article that does not provide for the possibility of maintaining the period of time allotted for searching for a new job.

What is the length of service?

All concepts of length of service available in various laws and normative documents issued on their basis can be simply divided into 4 main categories.

It is worthwhile to dwell on the procedure for calculating length of service for various periods of performance of work functions. For certain working conditions, work experience can be calculated using increasing factors. The increased coefficient will be used to calculate:

• one and a half times the rate if the citizen worked in the Far North or equivalent areas;
• double the amount when performing military service (conscription), labor activity in anti-plague institutions, leper colonies;
• in triple the amount when military service is carried out during hostilities, illegal stay in places of deprivation of liberty, illegally repressed citizens, and over time, rehabilitated.

Remember, the calculation of the general, special, continuous period of work is carried out by summing up the time of actual work in the company, taking into account the time intervals provided for by law for the period of job change.

When the length of service remains uninterrupted

Now let’s talk directly about the deadlines that are determined by the legislator for the possibility of changing jobs and are not considered an interruption of work experience.

All deadlines can be identified in the following sequence:

1. Three weeks. The employee terminates the employment relationship on his own initiative, but does not have any valid circumstances or reasons.
2. Month. Leaving work is carried out at your own request. There is a reason why you need to change the company either by agreement of the parties to the employment relationship.
3. Two month. Designated for workers of the Far North or areas equivalent to it to find a new place of work.
4. Three months. Here the employee is fired due to staffing or due to the liquidation of the company. The same amount is allocated for the spouse to find a job if the other spouse was transferred to work in another area and the whole family moved.
5. Six months. Allocated to employees of the government or the State Duma of the Russian Federation to find a new job.
6. One year. Contract uniformed military personnel after the end of their contract period.
7. Without any time restrictions. This category included veterans (combatants) and military personnel with more than 25 years of military experience.

The serviceman's service is not interrupted for a year after the end of the contract

If it is necessary to increase the time interval for selecting a new job or to reduce the gap between dismissal and new employment, it is advisable to take a vacation, the last day of which will be dismissal. This allows you to have maximum freedom of action to choose a new job. You will still be listed as an employee of the old company, but you already have a properly executed work book.

The legislator has provided for cases when the accrual of seniority does not stop upon the actual termination of the employment relationship. These included:

• cancellation of an employment agreement with an employee who has a child not older than 14 years (if the child is disabled, then up to 16 years old) for the entire period until the children reach the agreed age;
• for the entire period of maternity leave;
• after the citizen has received a legal pension;
• if the dismissal occurred in regions with high unemployment rates;
• when a previously illegally dismissed employee was reinstated;
• if the worker was involved in performing public works with payment.

Remember, if a citizen quits his job more than once during a calendar year on his own initiative, all subsequent periods after the initial dismissal will not be counted in the process of maintaining continuous service.

How interruption of service depends on the reason for dismissal

The impact on the time period when a citizen actually remains unemployed, but the time is counted towards continuous work experience, is direct. In the classic case of leaving work (by agreement of the parties, at one’s own request, if there are reasons for dismissal), the law establishes a one-month period for finding a new job after dismissal. The same period is allotted to an employee who transfers, by agreement between employers, from one company to another.

A little more is allocated to former employees of enterprises located in the regions of the Far North (two months), as well as to those who lost their jobs not on their own initiative, in particular due to layoffs (three months).

1. You should look for a new job in advance (while you are still on staff at the old company).
2. To increase the search period, you can use vacation followed by dismissal.
3. If an employee is on leave without pay, his length of service is also not interrupted, but the amount of time to find a new job increases.
4. If you find a new job, it is advisable to resign by transfer (you are guaranteed to be accepted at the new place of work) or by agreement of the parties (this allows you to resign without working off).
5. If you have been laid off but have already found a new job, you should not wait until the warning expires. Based on your application, the employer may dismiss you by reducing the previously agreed period.
6. Women on maternity leave, even if the company is completely liquidated, retain their seniority until the baby turns three years old. But to do this, having received a document on the liquidation of the company and dismissal, they are required to register with the Employment Center.

Remember, in order not to interrupt your work and insurance experience during the period of changing jobs, it is advisable to use all available opportunities in the process of preliminary searching for a suitable company for the transition.

How to count

Considering that for many civil servants, continuity of service directly affects the level of length of service, as well as the income calculated for this, it is very important to maintain it. It is necessary to understand how it is calculated.

Typically, the basis for calculating continuity is the following documents:

• payroll records;
• military ID;
• certified copies of dismissal orders;
• certificates confirming the period of employment relationship.

The fundamental document used for calculation is the work book. Here all records of dismissal and subsequent employment are taken as a basis.

Remember, continuity of service is calculated not from the date of filling out the work book, but from the date of termination (start) of working cooperation indicated in the dismissal order. Therefore, it is very important that this time interval does not exceed the gap allowed by law for a specific category of workers (employees).

When a citizen exercises the right to use an increasing coefficient in the process of calculating length of service, this norm applies exclusively to the period of work (service) under conditions that give the right to such a privilege. It ends simultaneously with dismissal.

Further calculations are made according to general rules. If until the moment of new employment the period allocated by law for new labor cooperation is not exceeded, the previous work experience will remain uninterrupted.

The calculation of the period between dismissal and new employment in the civil service for military personnel is carried out according to the military ID (further according to the work book). The basis for the calculation is the dates of termination of service and enrollment in the reserve indicated in the dismissal orders.

In the process of calculating work experience, time intervals calculated in years, months and calendar days are taken. Hours and minutes are not taken into account when calculating.

Form for receiving a question, write yours

Voluntary dismissal is one of the most common ways to terminate an employment relationship. Many people wonder how long after termination of the contract there is continuity of work experience? You will learn about the legal significance of this concept today and how this period is calculated from this article.

The value of continuous service

This term was enshrined in Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers dated April 13, 1973 No. 252 and was used to determine the amount of benefits paid in case of temporary disability of an employee. Thus, until 2007, the percentage of these payments depended on the duration of work without breaks and was calculated as follows:

However, in 2006, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, by its Resolution No. 16-O dated March 2, 2006, ruled that establishing a relationship between length of service and rights to benefits contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In this regard, Federal Law No. 255 was adopted, according to which payment of sick leave and maternity benefits now depends on insurance (rather than employment) length of service. That is, in accordance with current legislation, only those periods when the employee or his employer paid insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Fund are now taken into account.

As for dismissal and maintaining continuity of service, Soviet legislation established a rule according to which, in the event of dismissal on one’s own initiative, the length of service was not interrupted if the employee:

Today, continuity of service upon dismissal at one's own request has lost its legal meaning.

Does it affect your pension?

Before answering this question, it is necessary to clarify that the current legislation neutralizes the value of continuity of service and takes into account only the employee’s insurance experience (Parts 1, 3, 4, 6 of Article 7 and Article 11 of Law No. 255-FZ), which is determined as a result addition of periods:

As for pensions, after the entry into force of the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions” dated December 17, 2001 No. 173, and then “On Insurance Pensions” dated December 28, 2013 No. 400, a new model of pension provision for the population began to be applied in Russia, according to which When assigning pensions, insurance contributions and the total period of work are taken into account.

Thus, continuity of work does not affect either the size of pensions or the amount of social benefits - official work activity is always taken as the basis, regardless of the intervals between employment.

Is it in use today

Despite the fact that work continuity has now lost its legal meaning, some employers continue to use it to further reward their employees. For example, some organizations enshrine in their internal regulations norms according to which an employee who has worked for a long time can qualify for extended leave, an additional bonus, increased wages, etc.

In this case, length of service is calculated according to the work book, based on the rule that each month is counted as 30 days, and each year - as 12 months. Also counted is the time when the employee:

• was on maternity or child care leave;
• took leave to care for a sick relative;
• improved his qualifications;
• was registered in the employment service.

Continuous work experience upon dismissal at will



What benefits does continuous service provide to employees?

Continuous work experience is the duration of a citizen’s work in one or more organizations if the period of unemployment in the intervals between employment did not exceed the established period.

To maintain continuous service, you need to know the following nuances:

if within one year the employee changes his place of work, then it is interrupted, even if all deadlines are met.

if a citizen is fired “under an article”, the period will be interrupted, even if the deadlines for placement with another employer are met;

if an employee was forced to interrupt her work activity due to maternity leave, this period is considered a valid reason for maintaining it.

Continuous service after voluntary dismissal allows employees to count on some benefits, unlike those for whom it was interrupted for a long time:

the opportunity to receive regular salary increases for continuous work in state budgetary institutions;

increasing the amount of social benefits;

receiving bonuses and additional leaves established by the employer for length of service.

During what kind of break in work is uninterrupted service maintained?

Continuous length of service after voluntary dismissal is maintained during a break in work activity of 1 to 3 months. To save it, you must follow the following rules:

one month after leaving the organization, you must find a job in a new company;

for persons living in the Far North, this period is increased to 2 months;

the period can be increased to 3 months for persons dismissed from work due to reorganization/liquidation of the enterprise or temporary disability.

In what cases is seniority maintained regardless of the break?

Maintaining seniority after voluntary dismissal with a longer break is possible in the following cases:

when finding employment in a new place after dismissal by one’s own decision in connection with the transfer of a spouse to work in another area;

when employed after dismissal by one’s own decision in connection with old-age retirement.

What happens if work is interrupted?

If the duration of a break in work without a valid reason exceeds the time limits established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, then the length of service is considered interrupted. A person loses the right to all benefits until the period of his continuous work from the moment of placement in a new place again reaches the value established for receiving them. Continuity of work is important for employees who receive benefits, allowances and compensation for length of service based on their occupation.



How many days is the work experience uninterrupted after dismissal from the Labor Code of the Russian Federation?

Due to new reforms in the pension system, the concept of continuous work experience has lost its former significance for most categories of workers. However, representatives of public sector enterprises and the public sector should know when seniority is interrupted. This is due to the fact that they may be deprived of government benefits.

Continuous length of service means long-term professional activity without significant breaks.
According to the Labor Code, continuous service after leaving work continues to be considered for a month.
If the employee was dismissed due to serious violations, then continuous service is not maintained. Such violations are defined as:

• Absence from work without good reason;
• Theft or damage to production property;

Depending on whose initiative the resignation occurred, you can determine how many days of service is not interrupted after dismissal:

• At your own request, with clarification of valid reasons, one month;
• When reducing the workforce, three months.
• If a valid circumstance was not indicated in the application for leave, then this period is equal to three weeks;
• If dismissal at the request of the employee is repeated several times during the year, then continuity of work is not maintained.
• You can avoid interruptions if you search for a new place of work while on vacation.

Duration of continuous work experience after dismissal by agreement of the parties

The possibility of dismissal by agreement of the parties is provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In most cases, the contract between the parties can be canceled by agreement of the parties. However, another contract may be terminated in the same way. Consent must be provided in writing. If an agreement to terminate the contract has been reached, then the period of continuous work experience after dismissal will be equal to one month.

• When canceling a contract by women who are pregnant or have children under 14 years of age or a disabled child under 16 years of age. The period of service will not be interrupted until the child reaches the specified age;
• For working citizens of the northern regions, breaks from work should not exceed two months;
• Maternity leave, including parental leave;
• Termination of the organization's functioning;
• The period after retirement;

There are situations when, for some reason, you have to leave your place of work. Then the question of breaks in work experience after dismissal becomes most relevant. To obtain as much information as possible on the relevant topic, you should refer to the provisions of labor legislation.

When is employment interrupted after dismissal?

Since January 1, 2007, a slightly different procedure has been in force for determining the continuity of a citizen’s work experience. Before this, if 3 weeks did not pass when moving from one place of work to another, then the length of service was not interrupted. Since 2007, the Constitutional Court has abolished this provision.

On January 1, 2007, Law No. 255-FZ came into force, according to which sick leave payments are now calculated. Before this law came into force, sick pay depended on continuity of work experience. Now it depends on the duration of the total insurance period.

Continuity of work experience today does not affect pension payments. Pension and disability benefits are calculated based on the length of insurance coverage. He should not be interrupted to pay for sick leave.
If a citizen has more than 8 years of continuous insurance experience, then his sick leave is paid in the amount of 100% of his average earnings. If the length of service is from 5 to 8 years, then sick leave is paid in the amount of 80%, if from 1 to 5 years, then in the amount of 60%. If the length of service is less than 1 year, then depending on the minimum wage, depending on the region of residence of the working citizen.

Work experience is considered continuous if a citizen changes his place of work for a good reason, and 1 month has not passed before the conclusion of a new employment contract. For example, when moving to another area for permanent residence, an employee quits his old job. If he gets a new job within 1 month, then his work experience is not interrupted.

If an employee resigns from his previous place of work on his own initiative, the period for continuity of service is reduced to three weeks. That is, having left his previous job of his own free will, a citizen must get a new job within three weeks.

Service in the army under a contract does not interrupt the length of service if a period not exceeding 1 year has passed between dismissal from the armed forces and the conclusion of a new employment contract in civilian life.
Continuous work experience includes the period of caring for a child until he turns 3 years old.

If within 1 year the employee quit of his own free will, then his length of service is interrupted, even if the deadlines for interrupting his work experience are observed. If an employee is fired “under an article”, then his length of service is also interrupted, despite meeting the deadlines for finding a new job.

In what cases is work experience not interrupted after dismissal?

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

The concept of continuous work experience

What length of service is called continuous?

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

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

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

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

Regulatory framework for going concern

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In what cases is work experience considered continuous?

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

How to calculate continuous experience in 1C?

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

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

You can make a calculation on one's own.

The calculation principle is as follows:

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

Documents for calculating continuous work experience

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

The citizen is required to present:


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

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

Calculations are carried out in accordance with calendar days.

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

In controversial situations, when it is not possible to understand whether omissions were valid reasons for interrupting work, you can obtain clarification from the relevant authorities.

We will tell you in this material what continuous work experience affects and what benefits it gives when calculating the amount of a pension. In the meantime, let's figure out what kind of legal concept this is and what its legislative meaning is.

Surely, many of you remember that a similar norm existed back in the days of the Soviet Union. Then continuous working age was associated with the right to receive special benefits and an increased pension. But a lot has changed since then; back in 2002, a pension reform was carried out in Russia. At the moment, this kind of norm is maintained only if, after dismissal, you took the same position, but at a different enterprise.

What is it, how to calculate it

In order to maintain continuous work output when leaving voluntarily, you need to get a job in a maximum of a month. Two months to find a job are given to people living in the far north of the country if their work previously meant staying outside the state.

Foreign citizens can also remain in the status of unemployed for sixty days without loss of continuous work experience if a social security agreement has been concluded with their country during this time. The law provides for the preservation of NTS (continuous work experience) for three months for those employees who lost their jobs during the downsizing or reorganization of the enterprise. The main difference, as you understand, is the reason for changing jobs.

If it is forced, as an example, we can cite the situation with primary school teachers who are forced to look for new jobs due to a reduction in the number of students - the state is ready to provide a citizen with funds for up to three months. If the decision to leave work belongs to the citizen, he is given only one month on the condition of maintaining continuous work experience. Remember that continuous work experience is maintained if the break is no more than three months.

Work experience, continuous experience

The duration of the NTS has not affected the size of the pension for some time. Many Russians still think that in the following cases (with a large NTS) they have the right to calculate a special pension benefit. Although such a norm has already lost force, the size of the pension depends on the insurance output. Since the length of service is preserved if the break is not more than three months (meaning only NTS), most Russians do not have such a privilege, especially in modern realities, but do not lose the right to pension benefits.

Continuous work experience: what does it affect?

After we figured out what NTS is, it’s time to tell why it is needed. At the moment (2016) there are a number of cases in which the calculation of not only the insurance period, but also the NTS is used. For example, with continuous experience, you can count on a salary increase and even additional leave.

What does it mean when calculating the amount of a pension?

Do you want to know why labor production is needed? The characteristics of the innovations made it have virtually no effect on the size of the pension. We are often asked about continuous work experience, what it affects and how not to lose it. Now that you know all this (including how to calculate the NTS yourself), you can calculate your continuous insurance period on your own or using online calculators.

In medicine, for example, studying in senior courses, especially with practice, is included in the experience. The differences with other professions are not so great. The NTS includes everything that is considered work under the law and is included in the general one. The abolition of some norms has led to the fact that the question of why length of service is useful and important has become the subject of great speculation. Some even said that NTS should be in order to receive a minimum pension, others said that for women, having such experience guarantees receiving a loan. Now you know the truth.

Why is it needed?

In short, to receive preferences. In some cases, you can get more flexible vacation periods; For civil servants, having an NTS is a positive factor on their resume. Breaking the NTS will not deprive you of your pension benefits; if the NTS is interrupted, you still have insurance, which is much more important.

How to calculate continuous work experience using a work book calculator

Many people are interested in the question: how to calculate/calculate continuous work time using a book? More than one essay has been written on this subject, and they have even created a special online calculator on the Internet that can calculate NTS using data from the book. But in addition to modern tools, you can also find instructions on the Internet for calculating NTS from the times of the Soviet Union. You shouldn’t use it; Russia has completely different legal norms.

So how to calculate NTS and not make a mistake? You need to calculate it manually; even if there is a calculation program on the Internet, it can only give you approximate results. Counting must begin with the first entry in the book. In order not to get confused when and where you moved, make it a rule to count every thirty days as a month, and twelve months as a year. The procedure is as follows: write down all periods of work from the work book on a separate sheet of paper. Count the number of days, months and years in each of them.

Remember that one interruption means the loss of NTS in the specified period, but for the purity of the experiment, count everything. It would be a good idea to calculate your total length of service, taking into account all jobs and positions held. A few subtleties about the calculation. Remember that the rules are that the day of dismissal is also considered a working day. There is even a special article about this in the law. The Code of the Russian Federation provides that when making such calculations, only one unit (the day of hiring) must be subtracted from the total amount of working days.

Does it exist now and does it matter?

It has, but not the same as before. The Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that in order to calculate pension benefits, the presence of so-called insurance experience is mandatory. The legislation abolished the rule that provided for determining the number of days, months or years of the NTS as the basis for calculating the amount of the pension.

As we said above, NTS for people in case of disability is calculated differently. They are given three months to recover; benefits in payment for medical services are not provided, which is reflected in the publication of the Russian newspaper. You can find out whether military service is counted and how the NTS calculates it for sick leave by contacting the pension center. Its employees know all the innovations and will tell you about them.

Calculation program

There are indeed counting programs on the Internet, but be careful, pay attention to the year of their release. An employee whose activity was terminated when calculating the NTS must take into account not only the period of unemployed status, but also the reason for dismissal, the existence of a contract, and so on. According to the Code of the Russian Federation, the duration of a citizen’s sick leave and the presence of disability are also important.

To preserve the NTS, we advise you to quit only if you already know where you are going to get a job. Current legislation gives an employee the opportunity to look for a job for a month. But by paying insurance premiums, you will also save your total for this time, and it affects the size of your pension. Special conditions apply for disabled people. One way or another, after a three-month period (maximum), you will lose the right to benefits provided to owners of an impressive NTS.
