Calculation of continuous work experience calculator. Continuous work experience. Is military service included in seniority?

17.02.2024

Today, continuous work experience is not an important indicator affecting pensions, sick leave and other payments. However, it is necessary if, for example, the employer provides any benefits for an employee working in one place for a long time. In the article we will look at how to calculate continuous work experience and what this indicator can affect.

Continuous work experience according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

In order to understand why continuous experience is considered, you can refer to the local regulations of individual organizations. This indicator is required when calculating special allowances, benefits, and additional leaves. For example, for workers who work in the Far North. When calculating the continuous length of service of medical workers, it includes not only the period of work, but also internship and residency training.

Important! Some companies provide certain benefits for employees who work continuously for a long time. Such preferences should be provided for in a collective agreement and encourage workers to work in the same company.

How to calculate continuous work experience

To calculate continuous length of service, you need to refer to the work book and write down periods of work from it. It should be borne in mind that if an employee changed jobs, then the dates of job changes may not be strictly one after another. Continuity of work experience will be maintained only if the break in work does not exceed:

1 month – upon dismissal of one’s own free will;
2 months – for workers in the Far North and outside the Russian Federation;
3 months – upon dismissal due to reduction or liquidation.

In addition, continuous work experience is also possible in the following cases:

upon dismissal to care for a child with HIV, and the specialist signs an agreement according to which he must return to work when the child reaches 18 years of age;
if the employee returned to work after retirement;
upon dismissal of a military personnel.

Thus, if breaks in work due to labor do not exceed the specified periods, then the length of service will be considered continuous. Otherwise, the period of service is interrupted.

Important! Sometimes an employee can return to his previous place of work after dismissal. But at the same time, his service may be interrupted, although this will depend on what exactly is prescribed in internal regulatory documents.

Continuous work experience when calculating pension

Currently, there is no connection between continuous length of service and pension payment. The size of the pension today is determined based on insurance contributions, wages, additional contributions and insurance coverage.

In contrast to continuous insurance experience, it represents all the working time of a person for which the employer paid insurance premiums for her. All amounts contributed by the employer go to the employee’s individual account, and upon reaching retirement age, they already affect the amount of the pension.

Important! Until 2002, a person's length of service influenced their future old-age pension. But after the reform, continuous service does not affect retirement in any way.

In what cases is continuous work experience maintained?

As noted above, continuous work experience is maintained if the break in work is no more than 1-3 months. If a person quits on his own, a break in work is allowed for no more than 1 month. A break of 2 months is allowed for residents of friendly countries with which the Russian Federation has entered into an agreement, for workers in the Far North, as well as for persons working abroad.

If the dismissal occurs due to the liquidation of the company or reduction in the number of employees, or due to dismissal for health reasons, then the break in work can be extended to 3 months.

Women who are raising disabled children under the age of 16, who have children under 14 (including those taken into custody and adopted), as well as pregnant women, have the right to claim continuity of work experience. The work experience will also not be interrupted for a woman who is forced to quit due to her husband’s transfer to another locality.

Continuous experience for seniority

Length of service also represents continuous time worked, which is determined by the number of years worked. When this indicator is reached, a person becomes entitled to receive benefits and allowances.

This type of pension is awarded to workers in the Far North, military personnel, teachers and other categories of workers. The right to an old-age pension does not cancel the right to a long-service pension. Even if a long-service pension has already been assigned, but the person continues to work, continuous work experience will also be considered.

How to calculate continuous work experience: example

A work book is a document that contains information about the periods of a person’s work, indicating the exact dates of hiring and dismissal. This is what you will need to calculate your length of service. Such a document is personal and is created separately for each employee. The book is kept in the personnel department. It contains the employee’s personal information: full name, date of birth, education and specialty.

Important! We convert the 30 days obtained in the calculation into months, and 12 months into years.

Example 1

The following algorithm will be used for calculation:

The day of dismissal is considered a working day, so we calculate it this way: day of dismissal – day of hiring + 1: 23 – 10 + 1 = 14 days
Next we calculate the number of months: 3 – 9 = – 6. Since the result is negative, it is necessary to take 1 unit from the number of years (12 months), that is: 12 – 3 – 9 = 0 years
Now let’s calculate the number of years: 2013 – 1998 – 1 (12 months taken earlier) = 14 years.

Thus, Ivanov’s work experience is 14 years and 14 days.

Example 2

Petrova worked at two enterprises:

date of admission April 12, 1996 – date of dismissal June 14, 2008
date of admission July 17, 2008 – date of dismissal September 25, 2015

We make the calculation as follows:

First let's calculate the days: 14 – 12 + 1 = 3 days and 25 – 17 + 1 = 9 days
Now let's calculate the months: 6 – 4 = 2 and 9 – 7 = 2
Now let’s calculate the years: 2008 – 1996 = 12 years and 2015 – 2008 = 7 years.

Thus, at the first place of work, the length of service will be 12 years, 2 months and 3 days, and at the second, 7 years, 2 months and 9 days. And the total figure will be 19 years 4 months and 11 days.

Everything changed a few years ago. In 2006, a bill was submitted to the Duma for consideration, according to which the concept of not continuous work experience, but general one, came to the fore. Previously, the length of continuous work experience determined how much a person would receive payments for temporary disability. If the continuous work experience was up to 5 years, then 60% of the salary was paid, from 5 to 8 years - 80%, more than 8 years - 100% payment. Naturally, working people wanted the transition from one place of work to another to take as little time as possible. In this part, a limit was established - no more than 21 calendar days in case of dismissal of one’s own free will and for no apparent reason. For those who were fired by their employer, this time increased to 1 month.

In this regard, transfers from one institution to another were previously organized. For example, this concerned, for which the concept of teaching experience is also of particular importance.

How is it now?

From January 1, 2007, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 16 of Law N 255-FZ, the amount of benefits for sick leave or child care under 3 years of age depends not on the total continuous work experience, but on the insurance period. That is, when determining the amount of payments, all the years when a person worked and was subject to compulsory insurance are summed up. The insured person is considered to be a person who is covered by state pension insurance, that is, everyone who has a certificate of state pension insurance. Thus, a person who had previously worked for 17 years quit, got a job six months later, then went on sick leave, and was paid at the rate of 60%, since continuous service began to be counted anew. According to the latest law, sick leave will be paid 100%. And rightly so.

Your work experience will not be interrupted if you join the labor exchange no later than two months after your dismissal.

Thus, now the length of service is not calculated continuously, as was previously the case, but cumulatively, regardless of the duration of the break.

However, the length of service remains relevant for receiving a pension in the future. According to the Labor legislation of the Russian Federation, to calculate a pension, it is enough to have 5 years of work experience, regardless of whether it was interrupted or not. When calculating a pension, continuous work experience does not play a role. The total length of service when contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation were made is taken into account.

In practice, we very often come across the concepts of “general work experience”, “special work experience”, “continuous work experience”. Let's figure out how they differ.

The term “work experience” can be understood as follows:

▪ total work experience(insurance period), taking into account which an old-age pension is established, and in appropriate cases, a disability pension and a survivor’s pension;

▪ special work experience, taking into account which an old-age pension is established in connection with special working conditions, work in the Far North, a long-service pension, and a license may also be issued to carry out a particular activity (for example, the provision of paid legal services);

▪ continuous work experience, which is important when paying for periods of temporary disability (sick leave).

Thus, the amount of continuous work experience is important when determining the amount of temporary disability benefits and receiving wage supplements for work at enterprises located in the Far North and equivalent areas. Continuous work experience affects the receipt of a lump sum payment for length of service and a percentage increase for length of service to official salaries.

In accordance with clause 30 Resolution of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions of November 12, 1984 No. 13-6 “On approval of the regulations on the procedure for providing benefits for state social insurance” Temporary disability benefits in other cases, except for work injury or occupational disease, are issued:

a) in the amount of 100 percent of earnings:

workers and employees with continuous work experience of 8 or more years;

workers and employees whose temporary disability occurred as a result of injury, concussion, injury or illness received while performing international duty;

workers who became ill and suffered radiation sickness caused by the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, as well as those who took part in the work to eliminate the consequences of this accident within the exclusion zone in 1986–1989 or were employed during the specified period in operation or other work at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;

working disabled people for whom a causal connection between their disability and the Chernobyl disaster has been established;

workers under 18 years of age living in resettlement and residence zones with the right to resettle as a result of the Chernobyl disaster or evacuated and resettled from zones of radioactive contamination, with diseases of the hematopoietic organs (acute leukemia), thyroid gland (adenomas, cancer), malignant tumors;

for the care of sick children under 14 years of age in the areas indicated in the previous paragraph;

b) in the amount of 80 percent of earnings:

workers and employees with continuous work experience of 5 to 8 years;

workers and employees from among orphans who have not reached 21 years of age and have a continuous work experience of up to 5 years;

c) in the amount of 60 percent of earnings:

workers and employees with continuous work experience of up to 5 years.

Working disabled people of the Patriotic War and other disabled people who are equal in terms of benefits to disabled people of the Patriotic War are given benefits in the amount of 100 percent of earnings in all cases of temporary disability.

In accordance with paragraph 32 of the above resolution, continuous work experience when determining the amount of benefits is calculated by the day of the onset of incapacity in accordance with the Rules for calculating the continuous work experience of workers and employees when assigning benefits for state social insurance, approved by the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of April 13, 1973. No. 252 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules).

According to the Rules, when assigning state social insurance benefits to workers and employees, continuous work experience is determined by the duration of the last continuous work at a given enterprise, institution, or organization. In some cases, the time of previous work or other activity is also included in the continuous work experience.

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 established by the Rules and other norms of current legislation.

In case of dismissal after September 1, 1983 at one's own request without good reason, continuous work experience is maintained provided that the break in work did not exceed three weeks .

Example.The employee left the company of his own free will without good reason on 03/31/03. He will continue to have continuous work experience only if he gets another job no later than 04/21/03.

The reasons recognized as valid for voluntary dismissal are determined by the legislative bodies.

If the break in work did not exceed two months, then continuous work experience is maintained only in the following cases:

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

b) when joining the CCCP (now Russia) after being released from work in institutions, organizations and enterprises of the CCCP (Russia) abroad or in international organizations;

c) upon admission to work in the CCCP (Russia) of citizens who have moved from countries with which the CCCP (Russia) has entered into agreements or treaties on social security, after being released from work in institutions, organizations and enterprises of these countries. The two-month period in this case is calculated starting from the day of arrival in CCCP (Russia).

If persons who are released from enterprises, institutions and organizations are hired in connection with their reorganization or liquidation, or with the implementation of measures to reduce the number or staff of workers, as well as when workers and employees who are dismissed from units, institutions, organizations and from enterprises of the Armed Forces of the CCCP (RF) in connection with the implementation of measures to reduce them in accordance with decisions of the Government of the CCCP (RF), then continuous work experience is maintained if the break in work does not exceed three months.

The same rules apply when entering a job after dismissal due to the discovery that the employee is not suitable for the position held or the work performed due to health conditions that prevent the continuation of this work (according to a medical report issued in the prescribed manner) and when entering the work of primary school teachers in secondary schools exempt from work at school in connection with transfer IV classes for systematic teaching of the basics of science and a temporary reduction in the number of primary school students.

In cases of entry to work after the end of temporary disability, which, in accordance with current legislation, resulted in dismissal from the previous job, as well as when entering work after dismissal from work due to disability or after dismissal of disabled people for other reasons for which more preferential conditions are not established , the three-month period of maintaining continuous work experience is calculated starting from the day of restoration of working capacity. The day of restoration of working capacity is considered to be the day the medical advisory commission (MCC) issued an opinion on this, or the day on which disability was established.

When an employment contract is terminated by pregnant women or mothers who have children (including adopted children or those under guardianship or trusteeship) under the age of 14 years or a disabled child under the age of 16 years, continuous work experience is maintained provided that they enter work before the child reaches specified age.

Let's consider the situation: a mother sits with a child without support for up to 10 years. Will the internship be interrupted?

In accordance with Art. 256 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, at the request of women, they are granted leave to care for a child until the child reaches the age of 3 years. When a child reaches 3 years of age, a woman has the right to quit her job at her own request (Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In accordance with paragraph 5 of the Rules, if a woman goes to work before the child reaches the age of 14, the continuity of length of service for the payment of state social insurance benefits is maintained, but this period is not counted in the total length of service.

In addition, there is Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated November 5, 1992 No. 1335, according to which pregnant women and women with children under three years of age, dismissed due to the liquidation of organizations, if it is impossible to find suitable work for them and provide assistance in employment by employment service bodies, the time from the date of their dismissal until the child reaches the age of 3 years is included in the continuous work experience for the assignment of state social insurance benefits.

Regardless of the duration of the break in work, continuous work experience is maintained in the following cases:

a) upon entering a job after dismissal of one’s own free will in connection with the transfer of the husband or wife to work in another locality;

b) upon entry to work after dismissal of one’s own free will in connection with old-age retirement or after the dismissal of an old-age pensioner for reasons other than those listed in subparagraph. “a”–“z” clause 7 of the Rules. This rule also applies to pensioners receiving pensions on other grounds (for example, for long service), if they are simultaneously entitled to an old-age pension.

Example. An employee of an enterprise at the age of 62 resigns of his own free will due to retirement. Five months later, he gets a job at this company again. Five months of absence of an employee from the enterprise will not interrupt his work experience.

If an employee starts work after termination of an employment contract due to systematic failure to fulfill, without good reason, the duties assigned by the internal labor regulations; due to absenteeism without good reason, showing up at work while drunk, dismissal as a disciplinary sanction and other reasons listed in clause 7 of the Rules, then continuous work experience is not maintained.

It is very important to note the periods that count towards continuous work experience other than work as a worker or employee. These include:

a) service in the Armed Forces, if the interval between the day of release from service and the day of entry to work or study did not exceed three months.

b) time of work or practical training in paid jobs and positions during the period of study at a higher or secondary specialized educational institution, postgraduate study and clinical residency, regardless of the length of breaks caused by training;

c) the time of study in colleges and schools of vocational education (technical, vocational schools, maritime schools, factory training schools, etc.), if the break between the day of graduation from college or school and the day of entry to work did not exceed three months;

d) time of forced absence in case of improper dismissal, if the employee is reinstated, etc.

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 did not exceed the deadlines established by the Rules depending on the reason for dismissal, and the break between the day of graduation or early dismissal from an educational institution (graduate school, clinical residency) and the day of entry to work did not exceed three months; it is not included in the continuous work experience, although it does not interrupt it.

Example.An accounting employee is sent to study at a higher educational institution without work. In accordance with the order, the employee began work on March 23, 1998. Thus, on the date of release from work for study (09/01/02), the continuous work experience is 2 years 5 months and 9 days. The training will continue until June 30. 05. Let's assume that the day of enrollment will be 07/01/05. Therefore, as of 08/01/05, the employee’s continuous work experience will be 2 years 6 months and 9 days.

The off-season break also does not interrupt, but is included in the length of service, if the employee at a given enterprise, institution, organization worked the previous season in full, entered into an employment contract to work in the next season and returned to work within the period established by the contract. I would like to answer that not every job “for a season” will be seasonal in accordance with the law.

Example.An employee (cleaner) works permanently at the enterprise according to a work book. In fact, its working season lasts from September to May. Further, upon her application, the next vacation and leave without pay are issued. Leave without pay does not interrupt the length of service, since Art. 293 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, seasonal work is recognized as work that, due to climatic and other natural conditions, is carried out during a certain period (season) not exceeding six months. Considering that seasonality is determined by climatic and other natural conditions, this article is not applicable for organizing the work of cleaners.

According to the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated July 4, 1991 No. 381 “On approval of the List of seasonal work and seasonal industries, work in enterprises and organizations of which, regardless of their departmental affiliation, for a full season is counted towards the length of service for granting a pension for a year of work” seasonal work includes, for example, work in peat mining (swamp preparation work, extraction, drying and harvesting of peat, repair and maintenance of technological equipment in the field), work in logging and timber rafting, work in enterprises of the seasonal industries of fisheries, meat and dairy industry, work at enterprises of the sugar and canning industries.

When determining length of service, one should be guided by clause.1 Rules , according to which, when assigning state social insurance benefits to workers and employees, continuous work experience is determined by the duration of the last continuous work at a given enterprise, institution, or organization. There is no statutory definition of what is meant by continuous operation. Therefore, since in accordance with Art. 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a work book of the established form is the main document about the employee’s work activity and work experience; continuous work experience should include all the time when the employee is on the staff of the organization, with the exception of cases specifically specified in the legislation. Due to the fact that the law does not indicate that the length of service is interrupted during unpaid leave, the length of service of a cleaner in this case is not interrupted.

In all cases when the place of residence changes when moving from one job to another, the permitted break in work is extended by the time necessary to travel to the new place of residence.

Example.The employee left the company of his own free will due to moving to another area on 08/31/03. To ensure that his work experience is not interrupted, he needs to get a job within three weeks. Since moving to a new place of residence takes two days, the deadline for getting a job is 09.23.03 (21 days + two days).

If during the period of admission to a new job, which determines the maintenance of continuous work experience, the employee was temporarily incapacitated and presented a certificate about this issued by the medical institution with the signatures of the attending physician and the chief physician, certified by a seal, then this period is extended by the number of days of incapacity.

Example. The employee left the company of his own free will without good reason on 02/05/03. To maintain continuous service, he needs to get a job within a month, i.e. until 03/06/03. However, from 02/10/03 to 02/18/03 (inclusive) he was sick with the flu. A certificate issued by the clinic signed by the attending physician and chief physician, certified by a seal, is available. Thus, the period for getting a job is extended by 9 days (until March 15, 2003).

In conclusion, I would like to note that in accordance with the letter of the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation dated October 25, 2002 No. 02-18/05-7418, since the latest changes and additions to the Rules were made in 1991, they should be applied taking into account what was adopted in subsequent legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as international agreements (treaties) with the participation of the Russian Federation.

In this regard, issues of calculating continuous work experience when assigning temporary disability benefits are currently regulated not only by the Rules, but also by other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation listed in the letter.

So, for example, on the basis of Art. 64 of the Regulations on Service in the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Russian Federation, approved by Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 23, 1992 No. 4202-1, the time employees spend in service in the internal affairs bodies is counted towards their total and continuous work experience, as well as into their specialty experience in the following preferential conditions: one year of service for one and a half years of work experience. At the same time, for employees dismissed from the internal affairs bodies and admitted to work or study, their length of service is not interrupted if more than 3 months have not passed since the date of dismissal, not counting the time of moving to the place of work or service.

In accordance with Art. 16 Federal Law of July 31, 1995 No. 119-FZ “On the fundamentals of the civil service of the Russian Federation” upon dismissal due to the liquidation of a government agency or staff reduction, a civil servant is paid the average salary for the previously held position for three months (without taking into account severance pay). If a civil servant is not provided with work in accordance with his profession and qualifications, the civil servant remains in the register of civil servants (with an indication in the reserve) while maintaining continuous work experience in the civil service for a year.

According to Art. 25 of the Federal Law of July 5, 1994 No. 3-FZ “On the status of a member of the Federation Council and the status of a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation,” the term of office of a deputy of the State Duma is counted towards the total and continuous length of service or service life, length of service in the specialty. At the same time, continuous work experience is maintained provided that he enters work or service within six months after the termination of parliamentary powers. The spouse of a State Duma deputy (on the basis of clause 5 of Article 25 of the said Law), who was dismissed in connection with the deputy’s relocation to exercise his powers in the State Duma, the break in work is counted towards the total continuous length of service (service).

Today we have to get acquainted with such a concept as continuous work experience. What it is? Why is it needed? How is it calculated? And is it even worth striving for in the modern world? All this will be discussed. After all, work experience itself plays an important role for a person. Especially when the question of assigning pension payments and state support arises. So it’s worth sorting out our today’s question as soon as possible. It's not that difficult. The main thing is to take your time and delve into all the nuances of the concept.

What is experience

But what is work experience? Continuous or regular - it's not that important yet. What are we going to talk about now? Maybe you shouldn’t even worry about providing yourself with what this concept means.

Experience is, one might say, the time of your work. Exactly how long you officially worked and made contributions to the tax service, as well as the Pension Fund. The work experience itself is very important. And it needs to be increased. At the moment, to be able to receive at least some kind of pension, you will have to have about 5 years of work experience. During this period, various moments are counted, but, for example, in vocational schools, studies are not taken into account. This must be taken into account. And military service, caring for children, as well as elderly people over 80 years old and disabled people of the 1st group are easy.

Continuous experience

In principle, we have decided what experience in itself is. But now it’s worth delving into the essence of our topic today. Continuous work experience - what is it? Many people are interested in this moment. After all, sometimes citizens think that he gives some special privileges in the future.

Continuous work experience is a term that has appeared in people's minds thanks to labor legislation since Soviet times. And that’s why he is still treated with a certain importance and respect. What is it?

Continuous service is considered a period of work in one organization. In other words, this is how long you worked at a particular enterprise. In some cases, you can change jobs and retain this privilege. There are quite a lot of conditions in this regard. We will also have to talk about them today. And at the end, draw a conclusion: is continuous work experience really necessary in the modern world or not?

Own wish

The first case of changing jobs is, of course, your own desire. Honestly, these things happen all the time. Few people want to be fired under the article. In such a situation, it is better to vacate the workplace yourself. In this case, the work book will not be tainted by any articles or indications of your carelessness.

If you leave your workplace of your own free will, without any reason, you risk interrupting your work experience. True, you will be given some period to find a new job. Now it is no more than a month. Practice shows that continuous work experience is maintained quite often. Few people would agree to give up work and then sit at home without money. People usually look for a new job, only then quit.

Far North

But for residents of the Far North they have their own privileges regarding our today's issue. The point is that continuous work experience is preserved if a person with a residence status in the Far North gets a new job no later than 2 months after dismissal. Thus, we can conclude: compared to the rest of the Russian population, the rest period is slightly longer. Of course, you should get a job as soon as possible. But this is optional.

The work record in this case, as in all others, will not be affected. She has no special records of continuity of service at all. Unless people themselves are able to draw appropriate conclusions based on the information received. It's not that difficult. But we still have the last category of persons who have the right to continuous work experience if they lose their job. Who are we talking about?

Reduction

For example, the condition applies to citizens who were fired from their place of employment due to the liquidation of an enterprise, as well as bankruptcy or layoffs. In addition, this also includes persons who have some kind of serious illness that causes temporary disability. The total length of service, as well as continuous work experience, will not be affected by the loss of a job in this case.

But there is a limit to everything. The maximum permissible rest period in this case is 3 months and not a day more. In principle, this is a pretty good period of time during which you can find a job and move to a new company.

But is continuous work experience really necessary? And how to calculate it correctly?

New calculations

To be honest, since 2015 in Russia, length of service (continuous) is calculated differently than before. Now this is the period of work exclusively in the same organization. True, with rare exceptions.

Which one exactly? For example, if you immediately change the company you worked for to a new one, but maintaining the same direction of activity, as well as specialty and profession. The period of study at the university does not count towards work experience. And for now this is out of the question.

Preservation

There are some exceptions to our current situation. The point is that continuous work experience is maintained if special conditions are met. There are not so many of them, so you can remember all the subtleties without much difficulty. Although whether this is worth doing or not is up to each citizen to decide for himself. If you are interested in the conditions for maintaining continuous work experience that are not related to the cases already listed, you can highlight several key points.

For example, if a parent resigns due to caring for a child with HIV infection. At the same time, it is clarified: as soon as the former employee reaches adulthood, he will have to return to work. It doesn't matter where exactly. The main thing is that he will resume his work.

If you retired for long service, but decided to work, this also counts as continuous work experience. This also includes military personnel who were discharged if they previously took part in hostilities. Or, for example, when a former military man served twenty-five years or more in the Russian Armed Forces.

Accurate calculations

How is continuous work experience calculated according to the work book? Here everything is exactly the same as in all other cases. The calendar months, as well as the years in which the citizen worked, are indicated. As you can see, there is nothing special about this.

Important: official work is required for work experience. No one can answer for sure whether entrepreneurs can count on this feature. After all, there will be no special entries in the work book. In some cases, it is possible to count on continuous experience. To do this, you will have to try hard and prove your activities with all official contributions to the tax service and the Pension Fund. But is this really necessary? Honestly, it’s worth understanding this even before you start working. To know exactly how to behave when you quit - allow yourself to take a break or immediately rush to look for a new job with the same profession that you had.

Whether it is necessary?

And now a question that interests many citizens: is continuous work experience really necessary in the modern world? Maybe you can also do without it and not suffer?

To be honest, this is how it is. Only people who still remember Soviet times assure the usefulness of this experience. Allegedly, in the future you will have some special privileges, benefits and pension supplements. In fact, there is nothing like this and there are no plans for it in the coming years. Especially in the current crisis.

However, the length of service itself affects your future pension. And your salary too. Therefore, you should only worry about ensuring that you have a sufficient number of points and working time in general. Russia has now introduced a point system for calculating pensions, which began operating in 2015. It is reviewed annually. But the pension system itself remains unstable in Russia. And therefore, it is impossible to say exactly what the future holds for today’s youth.

In any case, continuous work experience is not so important for the modern world. Your task is to work officially for your own pleasure, receive earnings and make certain contributions to the Pension Fund, as well as the tax service. As has already been said many times, only the total length of service is counted when calculating pensions. Of course, it is possible and even necessary to strive for the continuous - for show and for the purpose of personal satisfaction. But if you don’t want to work for a long time and you are ready to serve at your workplace only to receive at least some kind of pension, you shouldn’t torture yourself. The lack of continuous work experience is not punishable, and its presence is not encouraged in any way.

What is the end result? There is no continuous work experience as such in the modern world. More precisely, this concept exists, but it does not have any special practical application. And there is no point in chasing him.

Thus, if you do not plan to work for your own satisfaction or do not set yourself tasks from the series “continuous work for more than 5-10 years,” you should not torture yourself. Find a job and quit when necessary or possible. After all, in the future, only the total length of service that you have officially accumulated over your entire life will be taken into account.

Many people are now trying to conduct entrepreneurial activities, and also find unofficial employment in order to hide from taxes. Or they make a profit by some other methods (for example, from renting out an apartment). In general, whether to have continuous experience or not, everyone decides for himself. This is a private matter for the citizen. Military service in the army and the period of caring for children until they are one and a half years old are counted here.
