The official work of any citizen must be recorded in the form of the work book. Why is this needed? So that in the future it was possible to reliably calculate the earned pension. Calculation of seniority according to the workbook has its own characteristics and a specific calculation algorithm.
Definitions
Before calculating the working experience, you need to figure out what it consists of. Under the seniority is understood the time that an individual spent on a particular official activity. In addition to work, this includes study, maternity leave, etc.
It is also worth considering the concept of insurance experience. This is the period when the employer paid contributions to the FIU for the employee.
Once upon a time, the calculation of a pension depended solely on seniority, but today everything has changed. And the main role is now played by the length of service (which is essentially an integral part of the total length of service). In other words, the employees of the pension fund first consider the length of service, and then calculate the length of service according to the work book with the calculation of the coefficients.
Why count
It would be advisable to ask about why to calculate the length of service. In order for a legal pension to be accrued without errors. There is a category of citizens who devote themselves to one specialization, and they do not have any special movements in the work form. But there are those who, for whatever reason, are constantly changing jobs. And in both cases, contributions were deducted for the employee.
The calculation of work experience is also necessary in order for employees of the FIU or insurance companies to be able to rely on any basis for determining payments. And where to get the information? Of course, in labor.
What does the general experience include?
As it turned out earlier, the calculation of the total length of service takes place according to the work book. According to Russian law, seniority is divided into labor and insurance. To the working experience, in addition to the working period, include:
- period of study at higher educational institutions;
- military service;
- maternity leave;
- child care up to one and a half years;
- civil service;
- detention period;
- time registered with the employment center;
- period of participation in political or public life.
The insurance period includes the period of transfers of contributions to the pension fund.
How to count the experience? You just need to add up all the significant periods.
We consider the insurance experience
If an employee is not able to provide a work form, or mistakes are made in it, you can confirm a specific working period as follows:
- provide an employment contract in writing, drawn up in accordance with all the rules of the law;
- provide certificates issued by the organization or government bodies;
- take extracts from orders;
- provide personal account information;
- show statements that confirm receipt of wages.
The certificate issued to confirm the seniority must contain the following information:
- number and date of issue;
- information about the employee, including place of work;
- period of work;
- specialization and profession;
- reason for issuing this document.
If the period of employment and insurance experience coincides, then one thing will be taken into account. What period to choose, the employee decides, providing a statement about this.
You also need to remember how the calculation of seniority is made. The period calculator takes into account the full year of 12 months and the full month of 30 days. Moreover, if only the year is indicated, then July 1 is taken as the basis, if only the day of the month is indicated, the number 15 is taken.
Counting algorithm
The calculation of the length of service according to the workbook can be carried out manually or using special calculator programs. In any case, it is necessary to adhere to the general rule of counting. The algorithm is as follows:
- Identification of periods that should be included in the total length of service (this includes the beginning and end of each time period of work activity, as well as those periods that are included in the length of service).
- The establishment in calendar days of the duration of each period.
- Calculating the total length of service in days.
- Calculation of full months.
- Calculation of full years.
- The final determination of the total length of service in years, months, days.
Counting Example
To calculate the seniority, you can contact an employee of the pension fund, carry out the calculation yourself, use any online program to calculate the seniority.
If you want to calculate the experience on your own, you can use the simple accounting method: subtract from the amount of the end of each period of working activity the amount of the beginning of each working period. The final result is a seniority.
Calculation of seniority according to the work book may look as follows.
A certain citizen Petrov began his career on January 23, 1997 and finished it at this enterprise on November 17, 2007. Then he worked at another enterprise from December 12, 2007 to May 24, 2010. He was in the last job from June 7, 2007. .2010 to 12.16.2016
Using the specified accounting method, add up the start dates of each period and get: 01/23/1997 + 12/12/2007 + 07/06/2010 = 42.19.6014. Next, add the end dates of all periods: 11/17/2007 + 05/24/2010 + 12/16/2016 = 57.28.6033. From the result obtained for the period of dismissal, we subtract the result obtained for the period of the beginning of labor activity: 57.28.6033 - 42.19.6014 = 15.09.19.
Based on this, Petrov worked for 19 years, 9 months and 15 days.
Thus, you can calculate the length of service. The calculator and other methods of calculation work on the basis of the above algorithm. Do not forget that in the indicated periods the insurance period may also be included (and the employee, on the basis of the application, is obliged to choose either labor or insurance period).
