Are the incomplete northern experience of work in the CSW (12.5 years) summed up? The employee works in the northern region: what should be taken into account by the personnel officer Women without children, having one or two children

PENSION SECURITY "SEVERYAN".

Citizens living in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas, as well as citizens who previously worked in such regions, regardless of their current place of residence, are entitled to early appointment of an old-age labor pension.

A pension is granted to men upon reaching the age of 55 and to women upon reaching 50 years of age, if they have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North (RKS), or at least 20 calendar years in areas equivalent to them (MKS) and have insurance experience, respectively at least 25 and 20 years (subclause 6, clause 1, article 28 of the Federal Law "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation").

The duration of the required special experience depends on the severity of the natural and climatic conditions (the regions of the Far North are more difficult than the areas equated to them). Therefore, rules have been established for summing up periods of work in different northern regions and localities. The pension in such cases is established for 15 calendar years of work in the CSW. At the same time, each calendar year of work in the ISS is considered as 9 months of work in the RCC.

The law provides for the possibility of assigning a pension even with a shorter northern experience than indicated above. However, it must be at least 7 years 6 months in calendar terms, or at least 10 years in the ISS.

The retirement age for incomplete northern experience is differentiated depending on the duration of the northern work. For each full calendar year of work in the CSW, the generally established retirement age (60 for men and 55 for women) is reduced by 4 months. Below is a table of the age of men and women, upon reaching which they can be assigned a pension with incomplete northern experience. Please note that you must have a full insurance experience (25 years for men, 20 years for women).

When determining the right to a pension, along with periods of work in the North, the northern length of service also takes into account calendar periods of work in ordinary areas, but with special working conditions, which also give the right to a pension at a lower retirement age. In this case, the periods of work with special working conditions are summed up both with the periods of work in the CSW and with the periods of work in the MKS without any recalculation.

For example: The man worked in the RKS - 5 years, in the ISS - 5 years, in ordinary areas he performed work with special working conditions - 7 years. His northern special experience is 15 years 9 months (5 years + 3 years 9 months (9 months x 5) + 7 years).

In accordance with Art. 28.1. of the Law “On Labor Pensions”, persons who have completed the full northern work experience of the RCS or at least 20 calendar years of the MCS and have the length of service necessary for the appointment of a pension with special working conditions are entitled to a double reduction in the retirement age.

For example: A man has worked 20 calendar years in the city of Severobaikalsk, of which 10 years under List No. 1. He will have the right to early retirement at the age of 45 (5 years reduction in the retirement age for work in the North, and 10 years for work under List No. 1 ).

We emphasize once again that for a double reduction in age, it is required at least 20 years in the ISS or 15 years in the RKS for men and women. Often, women who have worked out a special experience under Lists No. 1 and 2, small lists and experience in the ISS - 17 years, having 2 or more children, mistakenly believe that the experience in the ISS, provided for in paragraph 2 of paragraph 2, is sufficient to double the age reduction. 1 article 28 of the Federal Law "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation."

The pension legislation provides for the early assignment of an old-age labor pension to women who have given birth to two or more children upon reaching the age of 50, if they have an insurance record of at least 20 years and have worked for at least 12 calendar years in the RCS or at least 17 calendar years in the MCS. I draw your attention to the fact that summation does not apply in this case. It is impossible to apply the rule on the transfer of work experience in areas equated to regions of the Far North to work experience in regions of the Far North in accordance with paragraph 2 of subparagraph 6 of paragraph 1 of Article 28 of the Federal Law of 01.01.2001 is impossible, since the proportion of 9 months to 12 months corresponds to the ratio 15 years of work in the regions of the Far North to 20 years of work in equivalent areas.

Another benefit for citizens who have worked as reindeer herders, fishermen, hunters for at least 25 years as a man and 20 years as a woman. They are granted a pension upon reaching the age of 50 years for men, and for women upon reaching 45 years of age, if they permanently reside in the RCS and MCS.

I would like to draw special attention to those citizens who work in mining artels, at enterprises working on a rotational basis in the Far North. Previously, when calculating the length of service in the North, periods of rest between shifts were not included in the "northern" length of service. At present, in connection with the Ruling of the Constitutional Court of 01.01.2001, the periods of rest between shifts are counted in the "northern" length of service, if during the period of the shift the employee has worked out the norm of working hours (monthly, annual) established by the Labor Code.

When calculating a labor pension for a category of citizens entitled to an early labor old-age pension in connection with work in the Far North and equivalent areas, an increased ratio of the average monthly earnings of the insured person to the average monthly wage in the Russian Federation is set at 1.4; 1.7; 1.9 and applies (regardless of the type of pension):

For persons residing as of 01.01.2002 in RKS and ISS;

For persons, regardless of their place of residence - men who have reached the age of 55, and women who have reached the age of 50, if they, as of 01.01.2002. have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the RCC or at least 20 calendar years in equivalent areas and have at least 25 and 20 years of insurance experience on the specified date, respectively.

The size of the ratio of wages is established depending on the regional coefficient to wages, acting in a given area or locality for workers and employees of non-productive industries:

Not more than 1.4 - for citizens living or working in the indicated regions and localities in which a regional coefficient of up to 1.5 is established for the wages of employees;

Not more than 1.7 - for citizens living or working in the indicated regions and localities in which a regional coefficient of 1.5 to 1.8 is established for the wages of employees;

Not more than 1.9 - for citizens living or working in the indicated regions and localities in which a regional coefficient of 1.8 or more is established for the wages of employees.

At the same time, if different regional wage coefficients are established, the wage coefficient effective in the given district or locality for workers and employees of non-productive industries is taken into account.

In the city of Severobaikalsk and the Severobaikalsky district, the coefficient of wages for workers in non-manufacturing industries is 1.3. For the period of construction of BAM, an increased regional coefficient of 1.7 was established for wages for workers employed in construction, in industrial production, in organizations directly related to servicing construction and builders. However, the ratio of wages will be taken into account in the amount of not more than 1.4, since the establishment of a coefficient of 1.7 was temporary and was established only for wages.

On July 23, 2002, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 01.01.01 No. 000 came into force, which approved the Rules for calculating periods of work giving the right to early appointment of an old-age labor pension in accordance with Articles 27 and 28 of the Federal Law "On Labor Pensions In Russian federation". Thus, the "northern" experience is equated to a special work experience. Therefore, there is a need to confirm the length of service with a certificate from the employer, which should reflect all the information about the working conditions: this is full-time employment, the fulfillment of working hours when working on a rotational basis, periods of distraction from the main place of work (leaves without pay, study holidays, donor days, absenteeism, downtime, etc.), etc.

The concept of “full-time work” is disclosed in paragraph 5 of the Clarifications of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated 01.01.2001 No. 5. Full-time work is understood as the performance of work for at least 80 percent of working time. The "northern" experience includes periods of receiving state social insurance benefits during the period of temporary disability, as well as periods of annual basic and additional paid holidays.

To qualify for a Schedule 2 pension, they are not cumulative; for work in the North, they are cumulative. But why is it necessary? A citizen can still receive a pension on only one basis, albeit one chosen independently. And in the presence of a full special experience, and for that, and for another reason, the retirement age is the same - 50 years.

Help me understand and correctly apply these instructions. Situation 1 An employee under the age of 30 came to work at the CS from the CRS. He did not spend a year in the RC. How can he calculate the northern allowances for work in the RCS? Situation 2. An employee under the age of 30 came to work in the RCS from an area equated to the RCS, already has a northern allowance of 20%. He did not spend a year in the RC. How can he calculate northern allowances for work in the RKS?

Answer

Answer to the question:

The amount of the percentage allowance for work in the Far North depends on:

  • from the area in which the employee works;
  • from the age of the employee;

    Employees under the age of 30 are eligible for a . However, in order to take advantage of the increased percentage supplement, they must have lived in the relevant region for at least one year ( instructions approved ).

    Situation 1. An employee under the age of 30 came to work at the CS from the CRS. He did not spend a year in the RC. How can he calculate northern allowances for work in the RKS?

    For such an employee, the amount of the allowance is considered in the general order (depending on the region of the CSW):

    The allowance is charged in the amount of 10% of earnings after the first six months of work with an increase of 10% for each subsequent six months of work (until 100% of earnings are reached) *
    The allowance is charged in the amount of 10% of earnings after the first six months of work with an increase of 10% for each subsequent six months of work. Upon reaching 60%, the allowance is accrued in the amount of 10% of earnings for each subsequent year of work (until reaching 80% of earnings) * paragraph 16 of the Instruction approved

    Situation 2. An employee under the age of 30 came to work in the RC from an area equated to the RC, already has a northern allowance of 20%. He did not spend a year in the RC. How can he calculate northern allowances for work in the RKS?

    If an employee has lived at least a year in the ISS (if not, see the table above), then the allowance (until the age of 30) will be calculated as follows:

    The amount of the allowance at the new place of work is determined summation of allowances (as a percentage) earned at each place of work (Clause 3 of the Clarification, approved).

    In the regions of the Far North: Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Severo-Evensky District of the Magadan Region, the territories of the former Koryaksky Autonomous Okrug (now part of the Kamchatka Territory), the Aleutsky District of the Kamchatka Territory, the islands of the Arctic Ocean and its seas (with the exception of the islands of the White Sea) The allowance is charged at a rate of 20% after the first six months of work with an increase of 20% for each subsequent six months. Upon reaching 60%, a surcharge is charged in the amount of 20% for each year of work (until 100% earnings are reached) paragraph 16 of the Instruction approved
    In other regions of the Far North The allowance is charged at a rate of 20% after the first six months of work with an increase of 20% for each subsequent six months. Upon reaching 60%, the allowance is charged in the amount of 20% for the year of work (until reaching 80% of earnings)

    Details in the materials of the System Personnel:

    Types of allowances

    What payments are due to employees for work in the Far North

    The right to receive a bonus for work in the northern regions is enshrined in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the Law of February 19, 1993 No. 4520-1. In the part that does not contradict these documents, the normative acts of the USSR are still in force, explaining the procedure for calculating the allowance (orders of the Ministry of Labor of the RSFSR of November 22, 1990, etc.).

    Northern regions

    Which regions belong to the regions of the Far North

    In addition to the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them, a percentage premium is also paid in other northern regions. The list of such regions is established in the Instruction approved.

    Right to allowances

    Who is eligible for the "Northern" allowances

    In addition to employees permanently working in, employees who periodically work in the North () are also entitled to a percentage allowance. Employees sent to the northern regions on a business trip are not entitled to a percentage allowance (clause and Instruction approved).

    A question from practice: is a percentage bonus and a district coefficient charged for work in the regions of the Far North under a civil law contract

    No, it doesn't count.

    Employees under the age of 30 are eligible for a . However, in order to take advantage of the increased percentage supplement, they must have lived in the relevant region for at least one year (Instructions approved).

    Such rules are provided for by the Instructions approved, and the Instructions approved.

    Experience for the allowance

    Does the allowance for work in the regions of the Far North depend on the length of service of the employee in this region

    Percentage allowances depend not only on, but also on his length of service in the region (). The seniority that gives the right to receive allowances is determined in calendar days of work in the corresponding region on an accrual basis. Breaks in work and their duration, as well as the reasons for termination of labor relations on the procedure for calculating the length of service. This follows from the provisions of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 7, 1993 No. 1012 and the established judicial practice, the general approach of which is set out in.

    Determine the length of service to receive a percentage bonus according to the work book or certificates issued by organizations (Instructions approved, Instructions approved).

    However, these rules have now been revised.

    Thus, the length of service, which gives the right to receive allowances, is determined in calendar days of work in the corresponding region on an accrual basis. Breaks in work and their duration, as well as the reasons for termination of employment relations, do not affect the procedure for calculating the length of service. The legitimacy of this approach is reflected in.

    Question from practice: is the period of an employee's stay on maternity leave and parental leave included in the length of service in order to calculate and establish a percentage bonus to wages for work in the Far North

    Yes, it turns on.

    For employees located in and in, the place of work and position are retained (Art. , Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In this regard, the time spent on maternity leave and parental leave is included in the length of service for the purpose of calculating and establishing a percentage bonus to wages for work in. Such a conclusion follows from the totality of the provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the clarifications approved, the Instructions approved.

    Question from practice: is the period of an employee's vacation at his own expense (more than 14 calendar days a year) included in the length of service in order to calculate and establish a percentage bonus to wages for work in the Far North

    Yes, it turns on.

    For employees who are in, the place of work and position are retained, regardless of its duration (). In this regard, the time spent on vacation without pay (including more than 14 calendar days a year) is included in the length of service in order to calculate and establish a percentage bonus to wages for work in. Such a conclusion follows from the totality of the provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the clarifications approved, the Instructions approved.

    Question from practice: is the period of service in the army in the regions of the Far North included in the length of service in order to calculate and establish a percentage bonus to wages for work in the regions of the Far North

    Yes, as a general rule it is included.

    A question from practice: is the period of activity as an individual entrepreneur included in the length of service to establish a percentage bonus to wages for work in the Far North. The employee submitted an extract from the State Register on registration as an entrepreneur. There is no entry in the work book about activities as an entrepreneur

    No, it doesn't turn on.

    Question from practice: how to establish an allowance for an employee who, as of December 31, 2004, was under 30 years old and lived in the Far North for more than five years

    Traditionally, employees of organizations located in were paid a percentage bonus to their monthly earnings, the amount of which increased with the increase in continuous work experience in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas (). From January 1, 1991, for persons under the age of 30 who have lived for at least one year in the regions of the Far North and enter into labor relations, allowances were established on a preferential basis: in the amount of 20 percent after the first six months of work with an increase of 20 percent for every subsequent six months, and upon reaching a 60 percent allowance - the last 20 percent - for one year of work ().

    A question from practice: how to establish another percentage increase in wages for work in the regions of the Far North. Employee turns 30

    Such conclusions follow from the provisions of paragraph 1 of the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR of October 22, 1990 No. 458, paragraph 16 of the Instruction, approved, and are confirmed.

    An example of an increase in the allowance for an employee working in the Far North or equivalent areas. Employee turns 30

    Manager of Alfa CJSC A.S. Kondratiev works and lives in the city of Bratsk, Irkutsk Region, an area equated with the regions of the Far North. On October 12, 2012 (a year and a half after the date of employment), Kondratiev received another 30 percent bonus. At the time of its establishment, Kondratiev's age was 29 years and eight months. The next bonus in the amount of 40 percent will be set for the employee in a general manner (after a year of work), and not in a preferential one (in six months), since at the time of establishing a preferential bonus (in six months, i.e. April 12, 2013), Kondratiev will already turn 30 years and he will lose the right to establish allowances in the accelerated mode.

    Charge of the allowance

    How to calculate the allowance for work in the regions of the Far North

    Calculate the allowance from the day the employee becomes entitled to it. For part-time workers working in the organization, accrue percentage bonuses for work experience in the same way as for other employees ().

    Charge the bonus on the actual earnings of the employee, including remuneration for the length of service and on the basis of the results of work for the year, provided for by the remuneration system. Don't surcharge:

    • on ;
    • for payments on average earnings, for example, vacation pay, payment for a business trip, etc.;
    • for financial assistance;
    • for payments that are of a one-time incentive nature and are not determined by the wage system (bonuses for anniversaries, holidays, etc.).

    Therefore, the first percentage allowance was accrued to Ivanov only from July 11, 2014 (after the first year of residence in the area) in the amount of 10 percent.

    There are 23 working days in July 2014. The surcharge was accrued for the period from 11 to 31 July (15 working days).

    The amount of the premium was:
    8000 rub. × 15 days : 23 days × 10% = 521.74 rubles.

    He should receive the next percentage increase after 12 months from the start of work (six first and six subsequent months of work). That is, from September 11, 2014, he is entitled to a surcharge of 20 percent.

    In September 2014, 22 working days. For 8 working days (from September 1 to September 10 inclusive) the surcharge is charged in the amount of 10 percent, for 14 working days (from September 11 to September 30 inclusive) - in the amount of 20 percent.

    The amount of the percentage premium for September 2014 for Ivanov was:
    8000 rub. × 8 days : 22 days × 10% + 8000 rub. × 14 days : 22 days × 20% = 1309.09 rubles.

    March 2015 has 21 working days. For 6 working days (from March 1 to March 10 inclusive) the surcharge is charged in the amount of 20 percent, for 15 working days (from March 11 to March 31 inclusive) - in the amount of 30 percent.

    The amount of the percentage premium for March 2015 for Ivanov was:
    8000 rub. × 6 days : 21 days × 20% + 8000 rub. × 15 days : 21 days × 30% = 2171.43 rubles.

    In the future, the allowance will continue to increase by 10 percent every six months until reaching 50 percent of earnings.

    Recalculation of the allowance for work in the regions of the Far North

    When an employee moves from one region to another, it may be necessary to recalculate the percentage bonus. The allowance is recalculated in the event that in these regions a different procedure for its calculation is established. Calculate the amount of the allowance according to the rules established in the clarifications approved. For more information on the procedure for recalculating the allowance, see.

    A question from practice: from what moment it is necessary to recalculate the percentage bonus for work in the northern regions: from the date of the conclusion of an employment contract with an employee or from the moment he submits documents confirming that he had previously worked in the regions of the Far North. After six months of work, an employee presented a certificate from the archive confirming his work in the regions of the Far North. There was no record of this work in the work book

    Recalculation must be made from the date of submission of the document (archival certificate).

    The length of service that gives the right to assign an allowance for work in is determined by the employer on the basis of the documents submitted by the employee (work book, employer's certificates of work in special conditions, etc.). , approved, and approved, regulating the procedure for calculating northern allowances, do not provide for the obligation of the employer to recalculate the accrued allowance for the past time in connection with the submission of documents confirming the length of service in the regions of the Far North at a later time. The recalculation must be made from the moment of receipt of the documents necessary to establish the length of service, which gives the right to a higher percentage allowance (

Working and even living in some regions of the Russian Federation are associated with serious difficulties. These include the regions of the Far North (KS) and equated areas. Due to harsh working conditions, the northern pension is granted five years earlier than in other regions. The right to it is received by citizens who have worked a certain number of years for KS and in some other areas. It does not matter where they live during the period of treatment. In addition, there are some preferential conditions for calculating the length of service for such pensions. Consider what northerners can expect in 2019.

What types of pension benefits are assigned to the workers of the north

All workers of the Russian Federation are subject to the rules established by the current legislation. In particular, in order to compensate for income lost due to disability, it is necessary:

  1. Become a member of the mandatory pension insurance system (OPS);
  2. Apply for disability benefits:

At the same time, the northern experience for retirement is somewhat lower than the generally accepted one. That is, citizens who have worked in difficult conditions for a sufficient period can receive old-age benefits earlier than their comrades from the southern and central regions.

Important: northerners, like everyone else, have the right to appointments:

  • according to the age;
  • by disability;
  • on the loss of a breadwinner;
  • on state security.

Regions related to the Far North

A complete list of territories with special climatic conditions is given in the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 12, dated 01/03/1983. In particular, the document separates the regions of the CU and equated ones.

Features of accounting for the northern periods of activity


The legislation provides for, when assigning a pension, taking into account the duration of work at the CS and in other difficult conditions in a proportional manner. This means the following:

  1. for each year of work at the CS, the age for obtaining a pension benefit is reduced by 4 months (for example, with an experience of 7.5 years, a woman can retire when she reaches 52 years and 8 months);
  2. employment in equivalent areas leads to a decrease in age by 9 months.
Important: some others are equated to labor periods in calculations.

What will be considered for women and men


There have been changes in the procedure for calculating work periods in difficult climatic zones. However, some non-labor periods continue to be included in it.

  1. Annual paid basic and additional holidays.
  2. The period of receipt of state social insurance benefits in connection with temporary disability.
  3. The period the woman was on parental leave until 10/06/1992.
  4. period of military service.

Important: the time is not included in the grace periods:

  • learning;
  • part-time work;
  • attending advanced training courses;
  • vacation periods at their own expense;
  • extra days off.

When does the right to the old-age social benefit come into effect?


 If a citizen has not gained sufficient experience, then he is not entitled to insurance, but. The right to issue it comes five years later:

  • at 60 for women;
  • at 65 - for men.

In law No. 166-FZ (Article 11, paragraph 4), an exception is made only for representatives of the small peoples of the CU, permanently residing in the designated territories. Their list is approved by government decree No. 1049, signed on 01.10.2015.

Attention: representatives of the peoples of the CU can apply for social benefits for old age when they reach the age of 50 and 55 (women and men, respectively). Download for viewing and printing:

Calculation formula

Old-age insurance payments are calculated according to the formula given in Article 15 of Law No. 400-FZ:

  • SPv \u003d IPK x StPK + BV, where:
  • SPv - the required amount of accruals for old age;
  • IPC - the number of points accumulated in the OPS system;
  • StPK - the ruble equivalent of one point (87.24 rubles in 2019);
  • BV - basic payment guaranteed by the state.

The last of the specified parameters (BV) is subject to increase by the northern coefficient (Article 17 of the named law). In addition, this constant is indexed annually, which leads to an increase in charges. The amount of the basic payment (in 2019 - 5334.19) the legislator associated with the following additional conditions:

  • if the recipient contains dependents who do not have their own income, then it increases by ⅓ of the amount of the fixed payment(no more than three);
  • when the recipient reaches the age of 80, the base payment doubles.

Example

A pensioner-northerner will receive BV in the amount of 10,668.38 rubles before the 80th birthday; and his friend, who celebrated the aforementioned anniversary and has three dependents - 24003.85 rubles.

Attention: the social payment by age is set for everyone in the same amount - 5180.24 rubles. (in 2019). Regional coefficients are applied to it in a general manner.

Increased part of northern payments

Insurance and social payments assigned for special territories are subject to increase by a multiplier. Each region has its own indicator.

At the same time, it applies only to the base (fixed) part of the accruals according to the following principle:

  • the coefficient is taken into account for permanent residents of the region;
  • when moving to the northern region with a different coefficient, the amount of the fixed payment will be set taking into account the coefficient of this region;
  • if an employee of the northern region has at least 15 years of work experience in the Far North (at least 20 years in equivalent areas) and at least 25 years of insurance experience for men and 20 years for women, the amount of the fixed payment does not depend on the place of residence.
  • if a person moves to the southern or central regions, then the multiplier does not apply.
Attention: the principle is two-sided: if the payment is assigned without applying coefficients, and the person has moved to difficult climatic conditions, then his payment will increase in proportion to the established multiplier (base part).

Eligibility for the increased fixed benefit must be revalidated annually before the expiration date of the previous confirmation.

Valuation of pension rights

The length of service in the northern regions is determined in a calendar order, without the use of preferential accrual.

If, when assessing pension rights for the period up to 2002, paragraph 3 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law No. 173 dated 12/17/2001, then the period of work in the northern region is included in the total insurance period in a calendar order.

If, when assessing the insurance period, paragraph 4 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law No. 173 of 12/17/2001, then the northern period of work will be included in the total insurance period in 1.5 times the amount.

A citizen has the right to choose the most profitable option for calculating the northern experience.

How to get "northern"

Pensions are assigned according to the methodology determined by the current regulatory framework. After becoming eligible for any content, an application must be submitted at the local FIU office. Evidence is attached to it.

The application is considered 10 working days. In addition, a person is given three months to collect additional papers. If all rights are confirmed, then monthly payments are made to the applicant in any chosen way:

  • through the post office
  • to a bank card;
  • through the services of a specialized organization.
Tip: it is advisable to start collecting documents confirming the "northern" periods in advance in order to meet the three-month deadline.

Example

Petrov worked at the COP for 27 years. Taking into account changes in the pension system, he acquires the right to retire for 2019 at 55.5 years.

  1. Experts determined the following:
    • 130 points were collected on Petrov's personal account;
    • BV - 5334.19 rubles;
    • place of residence - the city of Vorkuta: multiplying factor - 1.6.
  2. Calculation carried out:
    • RUB 5334.19 x 1.6 + 130 b. x 87.24 rubles. = 19875.90 rubles.

Last changes

No major changes are envisaged in the procedure for assigning and calculating "northern" benefits of any nature. Employed recipients will be affected by the ban on indexing their pensions, extended until 2019. However, after the dismissal, they will be returned all the lost funds.

Currently, applicants for preferential insurance benefits may have problems with proof of the "northern" experience. This is due to the confusion in accounting for labor time and economic agents in the past.

However, in 2016 a new form of reporting by employers was introduced. Now they monthly notify the PFR authorities about workers:

  • working at the enterprise;
  • with which contracts have been concluded or terminated.

Thus, the work of collecting the evidence base is facilitated for future applicants for the northern content.

Important: In October 2017, Law No. 4520-1 “On State Guarantees and Compensations for Persons Working and Living in the Far North and Equivalent Areas” was amended to replace the concept of “labor pensions” with “insurance” ones. Thus, another identified inaccuracy (conflict of norms) in the Russian pension system was eliminated. Download for viewing and printing.

Working in the conditions of the Far North or areas close to it has a bad effect on human health. Moreover, the life expectancy of the northerners is usually less than that of the inhabitants of temperate latitudes by five years.

Therefore, the legislation of the Russian Federation provides for some benefits for citizens living and working in these areas. In particular, this factor affects the size, and also provides for the possibility, subject to certain conditions.

In this article, we will consider the following questions: which regions are equated with polar territories, how does this affect the length of service taken into account when calculating a pension, what is included in the northern experience, how much northern experience should be for calculating a pension, and what multipliers are used when calculating the amount of pension payments in depending on the region of residence of the citizen.

What is considered the Far North and what areas are equated to it

The Far North is a part of the territory of the Russian Federation, which is located mainly to the north of the Arctic Circle.

Any area is considered the Far North if it is not connected by roads with the “mainland”, or this connection is interrupted when the seasons change. In the Russian Federation, 27 regions are partially or completely located on the territory of the Arctic or in areas equivalent to it, located in the region of 60 ° north latitude.

Let's bring list some subjects of the Russian Federation, which are partially or completely equated to the regions of the Arctic:

  • Amur, Arkhangelsk, Irkutsk, Sakhalin, Tyumen and Tomsk regions;
  • Trans-Baikal, Krasnoyarsk, Perm, Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories;
  • Republics: Altai, Buryatia, Karelia, Komi and Tuva.

Rules for calculating seniority

To date, when assigning an early insurance old-age pension, the so-called northern experience is applied without preferential accrual, that is, according to the usual calendar schedule.

When assessing the amount of pension payments due as of 1.01.02 are guided by paragraph 3 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173, therefore, the time of work in the regions equivalent to the territories of the Arctic is summed up to the total insurance experience according to the calendar schedule. Insurance experience until 1.01.02 in an area equivalent to the territories of the Arctic, it is considered a year and a half, as was the case under the old legislative acts.

If the assessment of the amount of pension accruals as of 1.01.02 at the choice of the insured citizen is made in accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173, then the time of work in the regions that are equated with the regions of the Arctic is calculated at one and a half times in the total length of service. But at the same time, the restrictions provided for in this paragraph apply to pension savings. Nevertheless, in all cases, the assessment of the amount of a person's pension accruals is made in accordance with the most favorable option for him.

The work experience in the regions equated to the Arctic includes mainly labor activity, which can be confirmed by a work book and contracts.

Other activities in northern experience not included, For example:

In addition, the experience takes into account prenatal and postnatal. If an employee was employed part-time at the same time at two or more enterprises located in areas equivalent to the territories of the Arctic, then this period is considered as a full-time job, provided that there is documentation confirming this.

If a citizen believes that he northern pension is due, then you need to check whether he has a mark in his work book that the enterprise where he worked was in an area equivalent to the territories of the Arctic. If it is not available, you must take a certificate of his whereabouts.

How much work experience is required to receive a northern pension

Persons who worked in areas equated to the subjects of the Arctic, insurance pension is calculated for 15 calendar years of work according to the formula: 1 calendar year is equal to 9 months of work in territories equivalent to the Arctic.

In addition, persons living in areas equivalent to the territories of the Arctic, as well as those who have worked in such regions, regardless of their current place of residence, are entitled to a large fixed payment for one of the types of insurance pension accruals:, or loss of a breadwinner.

Consider, who is eligible for early retirement old age in the table below.

Gender (years)From what age inclusive (years)Minimum experience in regions considered as polar regions (calendar years)Required insurance experience (years)
m/f55/50 20 25/20
Woman with two or more children50 17 20
m/f50/45 The main condition is
permanent residence
in areas considered to be
arctic		25/20 (reindeer breeder, hunter-fisherman, fisherman)
m/fThe age at which early
appointed
pension, reduced
for 5 years		20 Sufficient experience
in certain jobs
and required insurance experience

This table shows that the old-age pension is early assigned to persons who have reached the specified age, as well as to women with two or more children, provided that they have sufficient insurance experience, as well as work experience in regions that are equated to polar regions. This category also includes persons permanently residing in territories equivalent to the Arctic, who have certain jobs in the specified types of professions. In addition, for persons who have worked for at least 20 calendar years in these territories, the age for early assignment of this type of pension accruals is reduced by 5 years if they have sufficient experience to receive this benefit, as well as experience in these types of work.

District pension coefficients

Since the standard of living and living conditions in different regions of the Russian Federation are different, for the calculation of salaries and pensions for citizens living in areas equivalent to the regions of the Arctic, were introduced district coefficients in order to equalize the amount of pension payments. This rule was introduced by Art. 146 h. 3 and Art. 148 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The value of the payout multiplier is determined depending on belonging to a particular territory. For example, the largest size of the district coefficient is for workers of enterprises located in the waters of the Arctic Ocean, as well as adjacent seas, including residents of Yakutia and Chukotka - 200% of the salary. Most of the inhabitants of the northern territories of the European part of the Russian Federation, equated to the polar territories, are entitled to a district coefficient ranging from 1.15 to 1.4 (115% - 140%). Of course, this contributes to an increase in the size of the basic part of the pension.

When calculating the value of payment multipliers, the climatic factor, environmental hazard, the availability of a full-fledged transport infrastructure, as well as the impact of climate on the complexity of work were taken into account. The current payout ratios were approved by Government Decree No. 1237 in 2011.

The payout multiplier plays an important role for the formation of pensions. As already noted, the salary of citizens living in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, equated to the polar territories, already includes some amounts multiplied by a multiplier. The payout multiplier is applied to pensions only when the pensioner resides in the given region.

For a more favorable place of residence, the supplement will be reduced or even canceled, but the value of the basic part of the pension will be preserved.

In addition, when calculating the insurance part of a labor pension before January 1, 2002, a seniority coefficient of 55 percent is set for a man for 25 years of work, and the same percentage for a woman for 20 years. For years above the specified periods, one percent goes for each year.

It is noteworthy that if, in general, for the regions of Russia, the ratio of the pensioner's salary to the average salary for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is calculated in the amount of no more than 1.2, then when calculating the "northern" pension, this ratio is 1.4 - 1.9. Due to increased district multipliers and a higher basic part of the pension, the average value of the "northern" pensions is higher than in the regions of the Russian Federation by 30 - 50%.

As we have seen, taking into account the difficult climatic and economic conditions in some regions of the Russian Federation, the legislation provides for a special procedure for calculating pensions for citizens living in these territories or working there for a specified period of time. For example, regional coefficients for pension contributions have been introduced, and the length of service of the “northern” salary with increasing coefficients is also included in the basic part of the pension. In addition, the law provides for early retirement under certain conditions, for example, if a citizen worked in certain types of professions, or if a woman gave birth to two or more children, while having sufficient work experience and a certain number of years she worked in regions equivalent to the territories of the Extreme North.

Additional payments to the northern pension are described in the following video:
