Insurance experience is important indicator, which directly affects future payments from the employer. Here you need to know all the information on calculations and the formation of experience.

What is this concept and how does it affect the total amount of payments?

Definitions

Almost everyone has already encountered the concept insurance period. But not many people understand what exactly it is and how it differs from a similar concept - seniority.

Work experience is the period of work of a citizen, including under a contract. This concept was used to calculate pension payments until 2002 - before the start of pension reform.

The insurance period is the period of time during which payments were made to the Pension Fund and the Insurance.

Legislation

The calculation of payments for certificates of incapacity for work is regulated by the Rules, which are approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated February 6, 2007 No. 91.

The following aspects are described here:

minimum permissible insurance period;
what features allow us to consider it as such;
evidence base of the issue.

Amounts

It is worth noting that in addition to this legal act, periods of employment can be clarified in other legislative norms. Including Federal Law No. 255.

Here is the percentage of benefit payment depending on the duration of work:

if the length of service is less than 60 months, then 60% of the average salary;
if the experience is from 5 to 8 years, then payment is 80% of the average salary;
if the period is longer than the specified period, then the benefit is paid in full.

But there are situations in which sick leave is paid in full. Such situations include maternity benefits.

Type of experience

There are several types of experience. And to calculate the amount of payments, it is necessary to clarify exactly what length of service is needed and what differences there are between them.

Total length of service is the sum of all time spent in employment. This also includes labor relations under a contract, a regular employment contract. As a rule, calculation occurs according to the work book.

Continuous experience– this is the total amount of time at all enterprises without a break. Since 2007, this indicator is not taken into account when paying.

Special experience– all work activities associated with special conditions, for example, in hazardous work.

Insurance experience– the sum of the entire time for which payments were made to the social fund. This includes military service and civil service. It is this indicator that is used to determine the size of payments.

Who pays

All expenses for sick leave are borne by the Social Insurance Fund, and some are borne by the employer. The latter pays a portion depending on the type of certificate of incapacity for work. If it is an employee’s injury, then the first three days are from the employer’s pocket, the rest is from social insurance. If an employee’s child falls ill, then compensation comes from the Social Insurance Fund in accordance with Article 3 of Federal Law No. 255.

Some situations are not covered. This is regulated by Part 1 of Article 9 of Federal Law No. 255.

This concerns:

leave without saving wages;
in case of illness while on parental leave;
in case of illness during study leave.

It is also worth noting that a situation may arise regarding the payment of a minimum benefit calculated from the minimum wage. This concept is regulated by Part 6, Article 7, Article 8 of Federal Law No. 255.

It is noted here:

getting injured while under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
in case of violation of the corresponding regime;
if the experience is no more than six months.

What is not included in the insurance period for sick leave

The insurance period is subject to calculation in accordance with the period of employment.

Citizens who:

were injured during criminal activity;
when injured while under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
if a person does not adhere to the recommendations of medical staff;
in case of deliberate deterioration of health;
if the person is in custody.

The insurance period cannot be taken into account when:

labor activity not specified in the contract;
during business, if the person has evaded paying fees to the social fund;
during vacation at the applicant's expense.

How to calculate

The calculation takes place in accordance with work activity from the calculation of full months and a full annual period. It is worth remembering that every 30 days are converted into a full month, and 12 months into a year in accordance with paragraph 2 of the third section of the Calculation Rules.

If the periods of activity coincide, then only one is included at the applicant’s choice. This is regulated by paragraph 22 of the Rules for calculating the insurance period.

Example

The seller of Premier LLC is on sick leave during the period 03/11/17–03/16/17. The period was 16 days. The disease is common, which indicates that the calculation depends on the length of service. The total working time of an employee according to the work book is 7 years. He can receive compensation in the amount of 80% of average earnings. Accordingly, the calculation period is taken for 2015 and 2016 - 583789 and 545928, respectively.

The calculation looks like this:

the sum of all wages for the periods 583789 + 545928 = 1129717;
average daily amount 1,129,717/730= 1547.55;
average earnings according to length of service 1547.55*80%=1238;
amount for payment of benefits from the employer and social insurance 1238*3=3714 and 1238*13=16094;
the amount payable for sick leave is 3714+16094=19808 rubles.

The amount to be paid after tax is 17,233 rubles.

For pregnancy and childbirth

Insurance experience for sick leave– this is the main indicator. It is also taken into account when paying sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth. The period of the certificate of incapacity for work is 140, but it can be extended.

Several points are taken into account here:

The certificate of incapacity for work is filled out by the accounting department, this includes the insurance period. Regardless of the duration of the indicator, payment for the slip occurs in the amount of 100% of earnings in accordance with Article 11 of Federal Law No. 255. Two reporting periods are used to calculate payments;
The accounting department should also make sure that the employee has not been on leave of the appropriate type during the previous 2 years. If she did not work during this period, then you can write a statement about using it to calculate benefits for the previous period when wages were previously paid. This is regulated by Part 1 of Article 14 of Federal Law No. 255;
if the employee does not have insurance experience for previous periods, then the calculation is based on the minimum wage.

Work injury

Work-related injuries can occur in any organization. Here you need to consider the following:

if a work-related injury occurs, an additional report is drawn up;
payment is made in the amount of 100% of average earnings, regardless of the employee’s length of service. This is regulated by paragraph 1 of Article 9 of Federal Law No. 125;
There are no financial restrictions on payments. This is regulated by paragraph 1 of Article 9, Art. 20.1 of a similar legal act;
if the employee was not previously employed, then the calculation takes place at 24 times the minimum wage;
if a person’s earnings are less than the previously specified indicator, then the benefit is calculated from the maximum value.

Long sick leave

It is not uncommon for a situation to arise when an employee does not go to work and constantly takes sick leave. The employer is not interested in such an employee and wonders how long a person can sit at home.

In accordance with the law, a person has the right to be on sick leave for 12 months. But such a period is granted only by decision of the commission of all doctors of the medical institution. More often, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued for a period of up to 15 days.

Upon dismissal

There are several situations - a citizen fell ill before dismissal or was already officially dismissed, but provided sick leave, opened after dismissal.

Dismissal in the first situation is possible if there is written consent to terminate the employment relationship. On the day of dismissal, sick leave is paid according to general rule. The issuance of official documents is possible only after submitting a closed certificate of incapacity for work.

The accountant must make sure that the person is not employed anywhere at this moment. Payment is made only on former employee, but not for his child.

Differences from work experience

The experience calculator is designed to quickly calculate work experience, taking into account military service or parental leave.

In order to make calculations, you need to have a work book with you, which shows all the dates when you worked, and if you carried out business activities, then tax returns.

The calculator also has an additional function - you can calculate the average monthly salary for the entire period of production. Please note that if you do not know your average monthly salary for a certain period, then you can use the “Schedule by year” and “Schedule by month” function and the system will automatically display your average monthly income for the specified period. When you open the “Schedule by Months” tab, a list of months appears, where 1 month corresponds to the first month of your work activity. For example, if you got a job in July, then the first month will be July accordingly.

Calculation of experience

You can calculate your length of service yourself, but it will take time. To do this, you need to count all the days, and convert every 30 days into 1 month, and 12 months into 1 year. It should be remembered that the day of dismissal is also counted as a working day.

Along with periods of work, the length of service includes the period of military service and the period of caring for each child until he reaches one and a half years old, but not more than 4.5 years, i.e. for each child you must add 1.5 years to your experience, but if you were on leave for 4 children, then only 4.5 years will be taken into account in your experience.

During the period of temporary incapacity for work of an employee due to his illness or injury, as well as during the period of release from work in connection with caring for a sick family member, the employee has the right to receive benefits if he has sick leave. The amount of benefits paid on the basis of such sick leave depends on the employee’s length of service. That is, how much percentage of average earnings an accountant will take into account when paying for sick leave is determined by length of service: the more experience an employee has, the higher the percentage of sick leave pay. The correspondence between the insurance period and what share of average earnings an accountant should use when calculating sick leave in 2019-2020 is shown in the table.

Sick leave pay depending on length of service 2019-2020 (Part 1, Article 7 of Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006)

In other words, if your employee gets sick, he will receive sick pay in the amount of 100 percent of average earnings only if he has worked for 8 years or more.

The amount of sick leave depending on the length of service when caring for a sick family member

If an employee was on sick leave due to the fact that he was caring for a sick member of his family, then payment for sick leave will depend not only on the length of service, but also on who was cared for (Parts 3, 4, Article 7 of the Law of 29.12 .2006 N 255-FZ).

Insurance period for sick leave: what is included in it

The insurance period for sick leave includes the periods ():

work under an employment contract;
state civil or municipal, military and other services (fire fighting, service in the penal system, etc.);
other activities when a person was subject to compulsory social insurance for temporary disability and in connection with maternity. For example, when an entrepreneur voluntarily pays contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

How to find out the insurance period for sick leave

The data for calculating the length of service for sick leave is taken from the employee’s documents: work record book, written employment contracts, certificates issued at the previous place of work, other documents (clauses 8, 9 of the Rules, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated 02/06/2007 N 91). The length of military service can be confirmed by the employee's military ID.

When crossing any of the specified periods, only one of them is counted towards the length of service (Part 2 of Article 16 of the Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ).

How to calculate the insurance period for sick leave

Answering the question of how to calculate the length of service for sick leave, let's start with the fact that it is determined on the date preceding the date of onset of temporary disability (Part 3 of Article 16 of the Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ, clause 7 of the Rules, approved. Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated 02/06/2007 N 91).

By the way, is sick leave itself included in the length of service? Yes, if in the future your employee gets sick again, the current period of temporary disability will need to be taken into account when calculating the length of service to pay for the next sick leave (Part 1, 1.1 of Article 16 of the Law of December 29, 2006 N 255-FZ).

The calculation of length of service for sick leave is based on full years and full months (clause 21 of the Rules, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated 02/06/2007 N 91). That is, first, the employee’s full years and months of work are counted toward the length of sick leave. A full year is not a calendar year, but 12 months from the date of employment (the start day of the period included in the length of service). A full month is not a calendar month, but 30 days. And then the procedure is like this:

count the total number of days not included in full months and years;
Convert this number of days into months according to the rule: 30 days are equal to 1 month. That is, divide the number of days by 30 and for further calculations take only the whole part of the value obtained by division. It will correspond to the number of whole months;
if the resulting sum of whole months turns out to be more than 12, then the months will need to be converted to whole years according to the rule: 12 months are equal to 1 year. Months that are not included in whole years remain whole months for counting.

The calculated values of whole months and years must be added to the whole months and years initially taken into account when calculating the length of service for sick leave in 2019/2020 (in the very first step of the calculation).

The length of service obtained must be indicated on the employee’s sick leave certificate, also in whole years and months.

After some amendments were made to the current legislation, a new phrase appeared - insurance experience. Unfortunately, not all employees know what is hidden under this concept and how to calculate the insurance period. However, every citizen should have an idea about his future insurance pension and that. It is also important to know what funds the employee will receive after the certificate of incapacity for work is closed.

general information

The insurance period is the total duration of a person’s labor (or entrepreneurial) activity, during which contributions were made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Periods when these deductions were not made are also taken into account here.

If for sick leave payment the length of service is calculated for everyone without exception, then for calculating the pension of some citizens the new rules do not apply. Among them:

persons who stopped working before January 1, 2002;
persons discharged from military service before the same period.

The remaining citizens belong to the group of people who need to know how to calculate the insurance period. These include:

insured citizens of the Russian Federation;
foreigners officially residing in the Russian Federation on a permanent basis.

General insurance experience

To calculate the insurance premium, two periods are taken - insurance and non-insurance. Let's look at each of them.

TO insurance period refers to the time when a person officially conducted his activities in the territory of the Russian Federation and regularly made contributions to the Pension Fund. Also, in order to know how to correctly calculate the insurance period, you must keep in mind that the following is also added to the insurance period:

military service and other service that is equivalent to military service;
caring for a disabled person of the 1st group;
residence of a military spouse in areas where employment is impossible (no more than 5 years);
temporary disability;
care for elderly people over 80 years of age;
maternity leave to care for a child, but only if the woman was on it for the first 1.5 years. In total, no more than 6 years during the entire period of work;
caring for a disabled child;
residence of the spouse of employees of consulates and representative offices outside the Russian Federation.

The non-insurance period is included in the calculation only if it is preceded or followed by an insurance period.

Special insurance experience

What else do those who are planning to retire soon need to know? There is an insurance guard. It is also called professional. How to calculate the insurance period in this case?

There is no fundamental difference from the overall length of service. The only difference is that during the transfer mandatory contributions in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, a person worked in special conditions that cannot be called normal. We are talking about work activity:

in difficult or harmful conditions;
in the Far North or similar remote areas;
in certain weather conditions.

Confirmation of insurance experience

The only one official document, which can confirm the official insurance experience, is a correctly executed employee’s work book with all the relevant inserts. What if a citizen cannot provide a work book? Then they come into action employment contracts with the employer, which were concluded at the previous place of work. In some cases, you can confirm your work history with the help of two or more witnesses. But this method can only be used in court.

Requirements for the procedure for calculating insurance experience

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes certain requirements for the procedure for calculating the insurance premium. If they are not followed, the length of service may be calculated incorrectly or completely lost. How can this be avoided? Every HR employee should know how to calculate an employee’s insurance length and what requirements must be met.

Some of them are listed below:

It is necessary to exclude from the work experience the time when a citizen of the Russian Federation worked abroad.
The periods when a person worked for an individual entrepreneur and was a member of peasant farms and tribal communities should be taken into account. However, this can only be done if contributions were made for the person to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
All periods during which the citizen received a pension (labor or disability) must be excluded from the insurance period.
Overlapping periods are not counted. As a rule, such a need arises if a person officially works in one place, but is registered, for example, as a hired worker with an individual entrepreneur. Only one part is excluded.
Seasonal work must be included in the calculation of the insurance period.
Those periods that relate to the recording of length of service are also counted.

Calculation for pension

Recently, the Government of the Russian Federation has made some changes to the current legislation. According to the new requirements, the minimum period for calculating the insurance period will gradually increase. Let's take a closer look at this point.

Since 2015, in order to receive the insurance part of a pension, a citizen of the Russian Federation must work for at least 6 years (the periods are cumulative). Gradually this period will increase. And by 2024, the minimum insurance period for calculating pension payments will be 15 years.

It is also noted that the amount of insurance payments will directly depend on the length of service. Accordingly, the more a citizen works, the higher his pension will be in the future. But this only applies to the insurance part.

An example of calculation when calculating a pension

The woman decided to retire upon reaching the age specified by law. The work book records that she worked at the same enterprise for 27 years. She also went on maternity leave twice (three years each). In addition, the employee was registered as an employee (unofficially) for one year. That's not all. Before working at the company, she was also involved in entrepreneurship for 7 years.

Two maternity leaves are included in the insurance period. However, the legislation provides for the inclusion of parental leave only up to 1.5 years; accordingly, 3 years are deducted.
One year of experience as an employee is not included in the calculation.
7 years of individual entrepreneurship will be included in the work experience.
The result is a formula: 27-3+7=31 years.

It is this figure that will be taken into account when calculating the insurance part of the pension. We hope everything is clear to you.

How to calculate the insurance period for sick leave

Several periods can be used to pay temporary disability benefits:

full month (30 days);
calendar year (full).

It is worth noting that when making calculations it is important to take into account every day. After all, the insurance period includes the entire period - from the beginning of work until the opening of a certificate of temporary incapacity for work.

The amount of payments directly depends on the time worked:

less than six months - the minimum wage is taken into account;
up to 5 years - 60% of the average salary;
from 5 to 8 years - 80% of the average salary;
over 8 years - 100% of the average salary.

Example of calculation when accruing sick leave

For example, a person got a job at a company on September 10, 2002. And the first time I went on sick leave was on February 15, 2016. How to calculate the insurance period for sick leave in this case? Let's give a clear example:

This means that payment for a temporary disability certificate will be made taking into account 100% of the citizen’s average salary, since the total length of service at the enterprise is more than the established 8 years.

Some exceptions when paying for sick leave

In practice, there are exceptions to the rules when calculating payment for sick leave. What are we talking about? We calculate the length of insurance for sick pay, if there are such exceptions:

100% of the average salary is accrued to the employee, regardless of length of service at the enterprise, if a temporary disability certificate was issued due to an industrial injury. Remember this.
100% of the average salary for the last two years is paid on sick leave, which was issued due to pregnancy and childbirth. Experience is also not taken into account, but only if the woman has worked at the enterprise for more than one and a half years.

An employer has the right to pay sick leave to an employee at the rate minimum size remuneration, regardless of his length of service, in the event that:

the injury at work was sustained by an employee under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Other specific cases also fall under the same conditions;
the patient violated the regimen established by the attending physician. Did not attend required procedures or examinations.

What to do if mistakes were made when calculating the length of service for sick leave?

We have reviewed most of the information. You already know how to correctly calculate the insurance period for sick leave. But what to do if the accounting department made mistakes in the calculations? Employees of the Social Insurance Fund may conduct an inspection of the enterprise without warning.

So, if an accounting employee made a mistake and overpaid the employee when closing sick leave, then management has the right to recover this amount from its employee by deducting it from subsequent wages. However, it should be noted here that the amount of deductions cannot exceed 20% of the total monthly salary.

In addition, lawyers warn that such penalties are possible only with the voluntary consent of the employee. But this does not mean at all that the employee can refuse to return it, and the topic will be closed. In case of refusal, the employer has the right to sue the citizen in court. In this case, there is a high probability that the decision will not be made in favor of the employee.

The insurance period is the total duration of periods of work and (or) other activities taken into account when determining the right to a labor pension, during which insurance contributions were paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, as well as other periods counted in the insurance period established by pension legislation.

Thus, the insurance period, in contrast to the work experience, consists not only of periods of work on the basis of employment contracts (agreements), but also of other “non-work” periods of time included in the insurance period in accordance with Federal law"On insurance pensions."

Insurance experience is required to assign an old-age insurance pension. In some cases, an old-age pension may be granted early.

In accordance with the law, the minimum insurance period for granting a pension increases annually from 6 years in 2015 to 15 years by 2025. For conditions for assigning an insurance pension, see the article at the link.

Having a minimum insurance period

For the minimum insurance period that gives the right to receive an insurance pension, see the table below

Minimum length of service for assigning an insurance pension (table)

Year of assignment of old-age insurance pension	Minimum insurance period required to assign an old-age insurance pension









2024 and beyond

Important. If, upon reaching retirement age, the pensioner does not work the minimum number of years, an old-age insurance pension is not awarded. In this case it is assigned social pension. Read about the minimum pension in Russia in the article at the link.

In addition to the minimum length of service, to receive a pension you must have a minimum number of pension points.

The Appendix to the Law “On Insurance Pensions” establishes successive increasing requirements for the minimum pension coefficient. Thus, from January 1, 2015, an old-age insurance pension is assigned if there is an individual pension coefficient of at least 6.6, followed by an annual increase of 2.4 to 30.

year of retirement	minimum coefficient
2015	6,6
2016	9
2017	11,4
2018	13,8
2019	16,2
2020	18,6
2021	21
2022	23,4
2023	25,8
2024	28,2
from 2025 onwards	30

Thus, from 2025, an old-age insurance pension is assigned if there is an individual pension coefficient of at least 30. For more details on the procedure for determining pension points, see the article at the link.

The procedure for calculating insurance experience

Calculation of the duration of the insurance period, including "" based on witness testimony, and (or) other activities and other periods is carried out on a calendar basis based on a full year (12 months). In this case, every 30 days of periods of work and (or) other activities and other periods are converted into months, and every 12 months of these periods are converted into full years.

If the periods “ ” and “ ” coincide in time, when calculating the insurance period, one of such periods is taken into account at the choice of the person who applied for the establishment of an insurance pension.

When calculating the insurance period, the periods of activity of persons who independently provide themselves with work, heads and members of peasant farms, members of family (tribal) communities of indigenous small peoples North, Siberia and Far East Russian Federation, engaged in traditional economic sectors, periods of work in individuals(groups of individuals) under contracts are included in the insurance period subject to payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

In this case, all periods that were included in the length of service are considered to be taken into account, including periods that do not affect the amount of the long service pension or disability pension.

When calculating the insurance period, periods of work during the full navigation period on water transport and during the full season in organizations of seasonal industries are taken into account in such a way that the duration of the insurance period in the corresponding calendar year is a full year.

Persons who performed work under copyright contracts in the corresponding calendar year, as well as authors of works who received payments and other remuneration in the corresponding calendar year under agreements on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art, publishing license agreements, license agreements on the grant of rights use of a work of science, literature, art, if the total amount of insurance contributions paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations received under specified agreements, during a given calendar year amounted to at least a fixed amount insurance premium for compulsory pension insurance, determined in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees, a period equal to a full calendar year (from January 1 to December 31) in which insurance contributions were paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations according to these contracts. If the total amount of insurance premiums paid during a calendar year is less than the fixed amount of the insurance premium for compulsory pension insurance, the insurance period includes a period (in months) of duration calculated in proportion to the insurance premiums paid, but not less than one calendar month(30 days).

The period counted towards the insurance period in connection with the payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations under these contracts, if there are periods of work and (or) other activities in the corresponding calendar year, other periods are taken into account in such a way that the insurance period for the corresponding calendar year did not exceed one year (12 months).

The procedure for confirming insurance experience

When calculating the insurance period before registering a citizen as an insured person and receiving a pension certificate, the length of service is confirmed on the basis of information from individual (personalized) records for the specified period and (or) documents issued by employers or relevant state (municipal) bodies. For documents that can be used to confirm insurance experience in the absence of information in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, see the article at the link.

When calculating the insurance period after registering a citizen as an insured person in Pension Fund Russian Federation, data on length of service is confirmed on the basis of information from individual (personalized) records.

When calculating the insurance period, the periods "" on the territory of the Russian Federation before registering a citizen as an insured person with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation can be established on the basis of the testimony of 2 or more witnesses if work documents are lost due to a natural disaster (earthquake, flood, hurricane, fire and similar reasons) and it is impossible to restore them. In some cases, it is possible to establish length of service based on the testimony of 2 or more witnesses in the event of loss of documents and for other reasons (due to careless storage, intentional destruction and similar reasons) not through the fault of the employee. At the same time, the nature of the work is not confirmed by witness testimony.
