The calculation of the
total length of service is necessary primarily to find the amount that will be paid to the employee after his
retirement. Therefore, all the time that a person spent at the workplace, engaged in entrepreneurial activity, developing his creative potential or completing tasks of a different kind, can be characterized by the concept of “seniority”. In this case, of course, it is necessary to consider the observance of certain mandatory conditions. For example, timely payment of compulsory insurance contributions and contributions in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the calculation of seniority implies registration of those periods of activity during which
insurance premiums were not paid
. However, such a list includes periods of time strictly defined by the legislative bodies, such as military service, parental leave
, caring for the elderly, whose age is more than 80 years old, persons with disabilities of the first group, as well as sessions with employees studying in higher educational institutions. In addition, this category includes periods for receiving unemployment benefits.
As you can see from the foregoing, the calculation of seniority is an important and responsible event, which is strictly regulated by the current legislative projects of the state.
Controversial situations
Of course, as in many aspects of human life, some disagreements may arise in calculations of this kind. In the event that there is a coincidence of the period of work with other activities or other periods of time that must be taken into account when calculating seniority, only one of them should be taken into account. The question inevitably arises of which one to choose. A definite answer can only be given by a person whose work experience is being counted.
Example
An employee of the company, who is on parental leave, performed work corresponding to her duties prescribed in the contract or contract. Therefore, at the choice of this woman, the period under consideration can be included in the calculation of seniority as a period of childcare or as a period of normal work.
A separate column should consider the length of service for sick leave. Indeed, the value of the allowance issued to the employee directly depends on the reliability of the determination of this period. Even a mistake of just one day can lead to serious differences in the amount of payments.
Calculation of seniority for sick leave
It includes several basic time periods:
1. Hiring under a contract or contract.
2. Passage of a municipal or civil service.
3. Service in law enforcement agencies.
4. Labor activity, during which the employee paid all necessary social insurance contributions.
Attention should be paid to the fact that the periods of time during which a person did not actually work, but was on the staff of the organization, must be taken into account in a general manner. Such situations include maternity leave.
