Length of service: as it is considered, length of service

Amount of payments and additional payments

The calculation of pensions includes:

• work experience (regardless of location);
• the salary that the future retiree receives;
• rank at the time of retirement;
• qualification category;
• all the bonuses that he received during the period of work.

Payment depends on length of service:

• 20 years of work experience will increase your pension by 50%;
• for a service life of more than 20 years, an additional 3% is assigned for each year, but one must take into account the fact that the total amount cannot increase by more than 85%;
• 25 years of mixed service (when a citizen worked not only in the Ministry of Internal Affairs) will affect the pension as follows: for each year one additional percent will be accrued, and the amount of the required pension benefit will also increase by half. True, half of the entire work experience should be spent in the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There are preferential allowances that will significantly increase the amount of pension accruals for long service. They can be assigned:

• if an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a participant in hostilities. In this case, the old-age payment will increase by 32%, and upon reaching 80 years of age - by 64%;
• For the first disability group, the benefit amount will be doubled.

The payment amount cannot be less than the subsistence minimum.

Is there a dependence on rank?

To receive pension payments, a citizen working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be assigned a special or military rank. In addition, the assignment of a rank may affect the inclusion of years of training and service time in other law enforcement agencies in the total length of service. Since the rank affects the salary of an internal affairs officer, it can also affect the amount of the pension.

Will the minimum length of service be increased?

In January 2021, superannuation increased by 4%. At the moment, there is no accurate information about an additional increase in pensions for employees of internal affairs bodies. The only clarification provided on the official website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs indicates that the pension may increase slightly to cover inflation.

But in any case, first of all, the state increases the pensions of this particular category of citizens, so an increase in long-service benefits will not be long in coming.

Results

• A long-service pension in internal affairs bodies can be accrued upon reaching the age limit, as well as in connection with a certain length of service directly in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
• The work experience may include years of training in a profession if at that time the student was awarded a military rank. The time that the citizen spent at work in other law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation may also be included.
• The amount of payments depends on length of service. The total length of service must be at least 25 years, of which the future pensioner must have worked for the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 12.5 years.
• If you have insufficient work experience, payments can be issued upon reaching 45 years of age if there are serious health problems that make it impossible to continue serving.

Conditions for calculating and amount of pension for health workers based on length of service

Percentage bonus for length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

• 10% of salary - with experience from 2 to 5 years;
• 15% - from 5 to 10 years;
• 20% - from 10 to 15 years;
• 25% - from 15 to 20 years;
• 30% - from 20 to 25 years;
• 40% - from 25 years.

Length of service of civil servants

So, to correctly calculate the additional payment for employees involved in the public service, it is necessary to study the percentage rates of the additional amount, which directly depend on the length of service:

Teacher

• Experience from 1 to 5 years provides the right to purchase an additional 10% of the added salary
• if the experience ranges from 5 to 10 years, you can hope for perhaps a 15% additional payment
• 20% is given to officials who have worked for the benefit of the country for at least 10-15 years
• 30% - the maximum possible amount of bonus for years of service - is allocated to employees who fulfill their labor obligations for 15 years or more

Specific figures depend on the budget and economic situation of the company. One should not lose sight of the fact that state employees are regularly awarded bonuses and other funds as an incentive to perform their job duties well, directly depending on the position held, the type of activity performed by the employee, and labor obligations that are placed on his shoulders beyond generally accepted standards.

For example, a position may be related to the lower and higher groups, according to this, the increase ranges from 60 to 200% of the salary. If a native of the Russian Federation in his own work comes across information that is considered secret, which must be signed in a special document, the degree of secrecy of the papers determines the additional amounts of 5-75% of the salary.

If the employee is directly involved in protecting state secrets, the increase for years of service is formed in the amount of 10-20% of the official salary, depending on the duration of fulfillment of professional obligations.

Is it possible to purchase a number of allowances at once? Of course, it is possible, but only if they are not considered incompatible relative to each other.

Let’s imagine this case: an employee works, regularly communicates with classified information, and has 11 years of work experience. In the total amount of this kind, the employee will receive a whole list of additional payments:

• financial plan incentive for supporting a national secret
• amount added for length of service performing work in a specific field
• additional payment, which is required to be provided in the amount of 20% for the number of years worked

4. Monthly additional payments.

Due to the coronavirus, the procedure for paying compensation for work at risk to life has been changed (Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 279 of May 13, 2020).

How is length of service calculated for calculating long service bonus?

The final additional payment for length of service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs depends on the length of service. The length of service is calculated taking into account certain periods (clause 2 of the rules approved by the RF Government No. 1158 of December 27, 2011):

When choosing a military profession, a citizen hopes for social guarantees that are provided by the state to all military personnel. In recent years, the government has developed a policy to increase the prestige of military personnel, and one of the criteria for this action is various preferences.

For example, retirement in the army occurs much earlier than in the civilian population, but this is directly influenced by the length of service of military personnel.

Length of service in private companies

The working years in relation to those working in individual firms are formed in the text of the employment contract, which is signed by the employer. Exactly the same data may be displayed in a whole list of other provisions and papers that apply to company employees:

• collective agreement
• document regulating monetary incentives
• LNA

Material compensation can be paid either every month or once for a certain number of months. You should carefully consider what is noted in the employment contract.

What is length of service

It is known from the legal literature that this term refers to a certain period of work in one field. This time period is different for each industry. For military personnel, it is isolated from other professions related to civilian life.

The length of service affects many rights and social guarantees. For example, for a military personnel the following depends on the length of service:

• salary supplement;
• special conditions for retirement;
• solving the housing problem;
• receiving social support in the form of health improvement.

According to the general rule, all periods of service are counted according to the calendar type. The exception is service under special conditions, which is calculated in preferential terms. Serving in the Far North counts 1 month as 2. On the contrary, 1 year of study is included in the length of service as 6 months in the Armed Forces.

Length of service of military personnel

The military is located in the 1st group of employees together with the police, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It's easy to calculate the premium:

Ministry of Emergency Situations

• Employees who have worked from 2 to 5 years have every chance of receiving a 10% bonus
• military personnel working for 5-10 years have the right to expect an additional payment of 14% to their salary every month
• served for 10-15 years - you will receive an additional 20% to your official earnings
• work for at least 15-20 years – an additional payment of 25% is accepted
• civil servants reward military personnel who have worked for 20-25 years with a 30% bonus
• military servicemen who have given 25 years of their life or more to the Fatherland receive 40% of their official earnings

The characteristics of the obligations and the place of service in the military directly have a great influence on the size of the bonus for years of service.

If these are aviation units, and the workers belong to the crew of airplanes and helicopters that take part in various types of tests, the month of fulfilling their labor obligations is counted as 2, and so on for the entire time of work.

In addition, a special incentive calculation formula is used in relation to bonus amounts for military personnel who constantly conduct parachute training, are in the professional composition of military maritime structures, etc.

Legislative regulation of the issue

Expert opinion

Lawyer with 10 years of experience. Specialization: criminal law. More than 3 years of experience in developing legal documentation.

The government has developed and implemented many laws on length of service in all sectors. But if we take into account directly people in military uniform, then for them there are the following individual standards:

• Federal Law No. 166 of 2001, which explains the concept of “length of service” in the context of pension provision and establishes the right to a pension for long service.
• Federal Law “On financial support for military personnel” of 2011. This legal act is a mechanism for receiving an additional monthly bonus for long service.
• Federal Law No. 992 “On the establishment of salaries for military personnel performing military service under a contract,” which regulates the issue of financial support for all contract military personnel.
• Order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which clearly states the rules for calculating the allowance, as well as the conditions themselves, according to which the circle of military personnel applying for additional monthly financial assistance is determined.

Who benefits apply to?

If we consider professional affiliation in the issue of benefits for length of service in the context of pension content and determining the right to a pension, then the following citizens are entitled to them:

• civil servants of the federal civil service;
• military personnel of all branches of the military;
• astronauts;
• test pilots.

Length of service is not always calculated in calendar terms. There are a number of unusual cases when a serviceman’s length of service is determined according to special calculations.

Length of work required for pension

Currently, the determination of the right to a pension, its assignment and payment are carried out in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”, which has been in force since the beginning of 2015.

According to the new rules, one of the conditions for the appointment of old-age insurance benefits is the presence of a certain amount of experience, namely 15 years.

However, this condition will be met gradually. A transition period is envisaged for several years until 2025. Accordingly, to retire in 2021 you will need 9 years of work, next year - 10, etc.

In addition, each working year of a citizen is assessed in the form of points calculated on the basis of paid insurance premiums. They also need to reach a certain number, namely 30 by 2025, to determine eligibility for a pension.

What is preferential calculation

There is also such a thing as “preferential calculation of length of service.” It means that certain periods of service can be included in the length of service on a preferential basis. These individual cases are enshrined in law.

These include service in the following departments:

• Flight trains.
• Related to skydiving.
• While at sea.
• Periods of command of the listed units, subject to service outside the Russian Federation.

It also influences the calculation of length of service and place of service. If a serviceman took part in a combat mission or served at a time when a state of emergency was established in a certain area, then a special calculation is applied to this person.

For example, such military personnel are those who took an active part in counterterrorism operations in the North Caucasus.

The formula for calculating the length of service for these individuals is such that each month of service triples. Accordingly, the calculation of pensions for military personnel classified as persons who have been in special conditions will be made 1:3.

Government regulations of the Russian Federation indicate the existence of other cases when the calculation of length of service must be made using a preferential method of determination.

A preferential right to seniority can be used by a soldier who is serving and lives in a region with a climate unfavorable for the human body. These include the Far North, as well as other regions of our country equated to this region.

How is the minimum length of service determined?

It should be noted that the maximum coefficient that can be used when calculating a military pension is no more than 1.5. This is what the maximum security limit is about, but there are also minimum payments.

Such payments also depend on length of service, and if there are 20 years of preferential calculation of state pension provision, a minimum pension is assigned.

Now law enforcement officers have the opportunity to receive a bonus for length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - this percentage bonus is calculated depending on the length of service available. In addition, length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also affects other benefits, including the possibility of retirement based on length of service.

The latest news indicates a possible increase in length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to 25 years in 2021 - previously these changes were planned for 2021, but never came into force.

What does the concept mean: length of service

If a person works all his life in difficult conditions, then he has the opportunity to receive payment for long service and determine early retirement payments.

In order for a type of activity to be equated to special experience, a person must:

1. Is in special conditions that are unfavorable for health.
2. Works in the Far North region.
3. Perform specific activities.
4. Be in the public service, having previously concluded a contract.

All professions that relate to such conditions are approved by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Depending on the working conditions and professional activities of a citizen, there are certain types of length of service.

Teaching experience for years of service

If a person works in the field of education, then he has some privileges. In this case, an important role is played by the fact whether there are academic degrees, how much workload the teacher performed per year.

People who work in educational institutions can count on such benefits, special conditions for retirement.

In addition to them, this also applies to inspectors, instructors, and methodologists. Pedagogical experience includes working as a primary school teacher without breaks, as well as working in an educational institution for a certain number of days.

Municipal

This indicator provides rights to receive a bonus to the official salary. It includes a period of work in the municipal service and in civil service positions. They receive a pension based on years of service. This is enshrined in law.

Employees of municipal services count on a pension for long service, a share of old-age insurance payments, additional payments and lump sum payments, if there is a reason for this.

Expert opinion

Lawyer with 8 years of experience. Specializes in the field of civil law. Legal expert.

The length of service worked in such service and exceeding the norm affects the size of the pension. To become the owner of benefits, you need to contact the personnel department at your place of duty and provide all the necessary documents there.

Experience of health workers

After completing his studies at higher educational institutions, the doctor gets a job in a hospital, clinic, laboratory or any other organization responsible for healthcare.

From the beginning of employment, seniority is accrued. It is thanks to this period that medical workers can receive bonuses, social assistance, and various payments.

But first of all, this indicator is taken into account when going on vacation, when calculating a pension.

Taking into account the duration of work in medicine, length of service is calculated. This period ensures that you receive additional increases in government payments.

Changes in legislation have led to the fact that they began to pay attention to the insurance part of the length of service, and not its total amount.

This indicator is calculated depending on how many contributions were made to the Pension Fund by the employer or the employee himself. At the same time, coefficients are accumulated that will play an important role in calculating pension payments.

If a person has worked in the medical field for many years, then after retirement he is provided with benefits. This means that for them the period of activity that allows them to retire is reduced.

The worked period that a person spent fulfilling his official duties has legal force, since it is this data that is taken into account during the calculation and accrual of pension payments. Information is also taken into account if a person has lost the ability to work and needs social assistance.

Only certain health care qualifications qualify you for benefits. Such benefits accrue to nurses, midwives, laboratory technicians, doctors of all specialties and forensic medical examiners. Not only those who worked in budgetary organizations, but also employees of commercial enterprises can count on concessions.

Length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - legal regulation and basic principles

The concept of length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is found in various regulatory documents. It means the time of service in law enforcement agencies, as well as some other periods during which a person claiming length of service could have had a break in service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs influences many different aspects of the activities of law enforcement officers. In particular, it provides a number of additional benefits that employees of internal affairs bodies can count on, which include:

• Payment of a percentage bonus for length of service. This bonus for length of service depends on the full amount of the salary and represents a certain percentage of it, paid to the employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on a monthly basis.
• Possibility of retirement based on length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After a certain period of time and having the appropriate length of service, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the right to receive a special departmental pension, even if they have not reached the age of receiving an insurance pension.

Expert opinion

Kozlov Andrey Kirillovich

Lawyer with 10 years of experience. Specialization: criminal law. More than 3 years of experience in developing legal documentation.

Legal regulation of issues related to length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is considered by the provisions of the following regulatory documents:

• Federal Law No. 247 dated July 19, 2011. This law regulates the general principles of assigning salary to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In particular, this law also names a percentage bonus for length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as one of the types of support for law enforcement officers. However, the provisions of this law also consider other types of allowances, as well as partially pension provision for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and additional payments to their families.
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 941 of September 22, 1993. This government decree regulates issues directly related to the calculation of length of service of various categories of employees, including law enforcement officers.
• Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 7 of 01/09/2018. This document establishes the basic principles of pension provision for employees of internal affairs bodies, and also contains in its annexes all forms of necessary documents related to the organization and maintenance of pension records and provision for law enforcement officers.

In general, the current legislation contains a fairly accurate and detailed description of all standards relating to length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, not all law enforcement officers know how length of service in the police is calculated correctly, and what exactly they can receive in connection with achieving a certain length of service.

Long service pension

If the work experience in a particular field is quite extensive, then a person has the opportunity not to wait for retirement age, but to retire early.

A distinctive feature of this type is that the pension will be paid not from the Pension Fund, but at the expense of other organizations, for example: military pensions are paid by the military registration and enlistment office.

Pension

In order to hope to receive it, civil servants must have fifteen years of work experience; before leaving, they must have one year of permanent work experience, and leaving work for a good reason. Military personnel must reach the age of 45 or have more than 20 years of service. Cosmonauts and pilots are required to have a work experience of 25 (20) years for men (women), and to stop their own work due to state of health or other circumstances.

The pension itself is calculated depending on the salary. It is multiplied by 50% + interest for the prevalence of the required length of service 3 or 1 for any year in excess (maximum 85%). And then it is multiplied by the reducing indicator introduced by law. You can calculate your pension using the calculator on the Pension Fund website.

A complete list of persons applying for length of service can be found on the Pension Fund website. Each specialty has its own standards of length of service and probable preferences. In addition, individuals have the opportunity to purchase an ordinary civil pension.

Longevity bonus in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - amounts and procedure for calculating length of service

Before considering directly the size of the percentage bonus for length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic principles by which this indicator is calculated. First of all, it should be noted that the length of service of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs begins immediately from the moment of entry into service and ends at the moment of dismissal.

However, upon restoration or resumption of work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, length of service continues to accrue and is not calculated from scratch. Separately, it should be noted that for the police, the length of service also includes certain additional periods, even in which the employee did not actually serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

These include:

Carrying out military service, as well as other service for which length of service is calculated. In particular, work in the tax police, the Federal Penitentiary Service, customs authorities and other law enforcement agencies is most often included in the length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

• Periods of illegal deprivation of the opportunity to serve. These may include situations where an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was illegally dismissed, or if he was sentenced by a court to imprisonment, but subsequently acquitted.
• Periods of forced inability to serve. In particular, periods of temporary disability due to occupational diseases or injuries received in the course of official duties, as well as being held captive or hostage.
• Appointment of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to an elected position. If a police officer was elected to a certain post in accordance with federal legislation as part of the electoral process, for example, he became a deputy, during his elective powers his length of service does not stop flowing, despite the absence of the fact of service as such.
• Being on maternity leave. The length of service includes all time spent on both maternity leave and child care leave, including up to three years without restrictions.
• Time of study, but not more than five years. In this case, the training time is counted towards length of service according to the principle of two months in one. That is, for five years of study at a higher educational institution or secondary vocational school, a police officer can receive up to 2.5 years of service.
• The employee's probationary period. The entire probationary period is fully included in the length of service.

It should also be noted that individual periods of service may be counted as multiple days of service as one day of actual service. In particular, such preferential mechanisms for calculating length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs include periods of liquidation of the Chernobyl disaster, participation in military operations and other situations that imply increased danger, inconvenience or discomfort from service.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

• central office of the state Ministry of Internal Affairs
• Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the city of Moscow and the Moscow region
• duty departments
• parts of temporary accommodation for lawbreakers who have not reached the age of majority
• cavalry units

For example, if an employee is engaged in caring for horses, bonuses range from 10-100% of the additional salary of a police officer. The size of the additional payment amount is affected by the level of threat and harmfulness of the activity performed, responsibility and the possibility of acquiring an occupational disease in the future.

Since 2011, in order to correctly calculate additional payments to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is necessary to take into account the share for individual achievements. Acquiring a scientific degree and significant achievements in one of the types of sports also imply financial approval, which ranges from 5-30% of the salary. It is expected that such incentives will make it possible to improve the quality of personnel working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Indeed, depending on how length of service is calculated, the amount of actual salary received by such persons changes, as well as the right to a state pension.

Therefore, everyone should know how to calculate length of service.

What is a bonus for length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs

For a police officer, his length of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite important. Experience affects the following benefits and payments:

Salary supplements

Depending on the length of service, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs receives additional cash payments, which amount to a certain percentage of his salary for his official position. Thus, it is worth noting that a police officer can count on additional monetary support only after two years of law enforcement activity. The greater the length of service, the greater the percentage increase.

Receiving a departmental pension

If an employee has served in law enforcement agencies for the required period, then, with the required length of service, which is currently 20 years, he can count on a special departmental pension, which depends on the size of his official salary for his last position and rank.

the following periods, which are included in the length of service, give the right to receive salary increases and receive a preferential pension

1. Temporary disability . It should be understood as periods of incapacity for work confirmed by sick leave.

1. Illegal removal from service. If an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was suspended from performing official duties on unlawful grounds, then this period can be counted towards the benefit period in full.

Longevity bonus in commercial organizations

Labor laws do not contain provisions obliging management to implement such allowances. This is the employer’s good will rather than an obligation. The law cannot guarantee that you will receive a salary increase after many years of work in a commercial enterprise.

To understand what specific wage increases you can expect from an employer, you should familiarize yourself with the contents:

• labor agreement;
• collective agreement;
• bonus provisions;
• other regulatory acts of the enterprise on labor.

The main document containing all bonuses, allowances and compensation due to an employee is the contract concluded during employment. The longevity bonus for employees of commercial enterprises is determined as a percentage of the salary amount. If the employee was on a business trip, was sick, or in other cases when his seniority is retained, then the bonus is also paid during these periods.

The amount of monthly remuneration is set by the employer at its discretion. Typically, the minimum rate is 5%, and the maximum can reach 30%.

Rules for calculating bonuses for employees of commercial organizations:

The basis for calculating the amount of the long service bonus is the official salary. No other allowances or bonuses are taken into account. The most common accepted frequency for paying long-service bonuses is 1 month.

But it is allowed when, at the initiative of the employer, such payments are made once a year. Even in this case, earnings are adjusted taking into account the time actually worked by the employee during the year.

The length of service to determine the percentage of such an increase is calculated according to the work book. Sick leave, vacations, and business trips are not excluded from the total length of service.

How to calculate the surcharge

Additional payment for length of service is considered quite simple, since it directly depends on the salary of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is expressed as a percentage of it.

This is reflected in more detail in the table below:

In addition to additional payments for length of service, employees of internal affairs bodies may receive other allowances, including:

All of the above forms of material payments are summed up with each other , but at the same time they are all tied to the official salary and are calculated as a percentage of it.

Calculation example

The examples below will help you understand how the bonus for length of service for an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is calculated.

Example 1

A patrol sergeant serves in the internal affairs bodies for 3 years, with a salary of 15 thousand rubles. Accordingly, his service is 3 years, so he is entitled to a ten percent increase.

10% of 15 thousand is 1500 rubles. Thus, the employee will receive 15,000 + 1,500 = 16,500 rubles (excluding other allowances).

Example 2

The detective police captain served in the police for 9 years. At the same time, he studied at a departmental university of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for 5 years. His official salary is 36 thousand rubles. His length of service is 11.5 years (9 years of service + 5 years of training, but taking into account a reduction factor of 0.5).
