Continuous work experience

Legislative acts of the Russian Federation provide for several types of work experience - general, continuous and special. The total calculation of the person's working time is made to determine the amount of pension payments by age, as well as on the occurrence of a disability or in cases of loss of a bread-winner.

The total length of service includes those periods when a person worked at an enterprise or in an organization under a contract of employment. The time of work on the collective farm or other cooperative farms is also counted. In general, in the general experience includes any labor activity, in the performance of which the citizen was subject to social state insurance. In addition, in periods taken for the calculation of old-age pensions, include:

- service in the protection of a paramilitary type, in the bodies of special communication or in parts of mine rescuers;

- activity as an individual entrepreneur;

- service in the armed forces of the RF Armed Forces;

- the time of training in colleges, higher and secondary special state institutions, etc.

Special length of service takes into account the periods of a certain work activity related to its special characteristics. It can be work in the Far North or in the presence of harmful factors that adversely affect human health.

Continuous work experience has its own distinctive features. This is an independent category for estimating the duration of the employee's useful activity. It does not characterize the general interval of working time, but some specific one. Do not enter into a continuous period of employment for a certain period during which a person did not find work after being fired from the previous place. According to the period established by legislative acts, no more than one month is allocated for the search for a new place of work. Otherwise, the length of service is interrupted. Legislative acts provide for other cases when there is a non-preservation of the continuity of working time. This is a kind of punishment that a person receives for dishonest execution of the duties assigned to him. There is no continuous work experience in the case when a person left the previous place of work because of disciplinary sanctions, loss of trust, etc.

Legislation enacts provisions that allow to take into account those periods of a person's life when he did not have a contract of employment. So, in the continuous work experience is counted:

- service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or in the bodies of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, if the time interval before the day of receipt for further work or study did not exceed three months;

- the term of study in schools, on courses on improvement of professional skill, etc.

Continuous work experience gives the person certain guarantees. The normative-legal acts fix the right of the worker to receive additional benefits, which he acquires in the case when the time of his activity has reached a certain value without significant gaps:

1. Such employees are given preference when the size of the staff of the enterprise is reduced.

2. A collective agreement may provide for an additional monetary premium for the year for employees who have a long working record in the organization.

3. All employees of economic entities located in the Far North and equated areas receive a certain amount of wage surcharges, the amount of which increases with increasing length of service, and so on.

All measures to encourage long-term labor relations are designed to increase the stability and stability of the workforce of the enterprise. These costs, ultimately, contribute to the qualitative implementation of the duties assigned to the staff and motivate the desire to improve the qualification level.
