Does military service include military service? Yes: military service is included in the length of service of any person who served in it on a conscription or contract basis. The years spent in military service carry social significance and are important for the state. They are taken into account when assigning both pension and other payments to a person. However, there are circumstances that affect the procedure for accounting for service in length of service.
Information sheet
In the event of illness or injury, when an employee is unable to perform his or her job duties, it is possible to issue a sick leave certificate.
This document is the basis for payment of temporary disability benefits (the employee receives it for the entire period confirmed by a doctor).
For some workers, their work experience begins after military service has been completed (no matter whether it is contract or conscription), and this activity can be counted towards the insurance period.
The period of compulsory military service is included in the insurance period.
In order for payment to be made, HR or accounting specialists carry out calculations based on average earnings over the last 2 years.
Thus, you can calculate the amount by adding up all the payments that were provided over a period of two years, and then dividing by 730 days (according to the number of days in a year).
The result will be an amount that is taken as a unit of average income for one day. The length of service coefficient is also taken into account, which directly affects the amount of benefits paid.
If the work experience has not exceeded five years, then this coefficient will be 60%, if the work experience is up to 8 years - 80%, and then the benefit is provided in full.
When calculating sick leave, payments received over the previous two years are taken into account.
Important ! This is an extremely important indicator for serving employees, since their time spent in service will be counted as seniority.
How to find out the norms
At the moment, the calculation of a pension involves the use of two main elements - funded and mandatory, and in addition to this, the concept of insurance length is also taken into account, the calculation of which is carried out in the process of determining a number of social benefits, including the assignment of an appropriate pension.
It is worth noting that there is no difference here whether the person served under contract or was conscripted - in any case, this period of time will be taken into account when calculating the insurance period.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that military service is also included in teaching experience, but such accrual is carried out only if, before entering the army, a person had already officially worked as a teacher at school
In accordance with Article 2 of the Federal Law “On Military Duty and Military Service,” you can serve in the Russian Army:
- by conscription (mandatory);
- under contract (voluntary).
Based on this, when special bodies calculate the amount of temporary disability benefits for a Russian citizen, the amount of his average earnings is taken taking into account the fact that the army is necessarily included in the insurance period.
When registering a future employee for a job, the personnel officer of an enterprise or organization is required to make an appropriate entry about the period of his military service. The basis for this procedure is the citizen’s military ID.

How do the insurance and work experience of a military personnel differ?
Until 2002, pensions were calculated depending on the length of service (the time a citizen officially worked) - and the longer it was, the higher the pension.
Today, in most cases, insurance experience can be considered more relevant.
Today, work experience is taken into account less than insurance
Important ! It is needed both for pension accruals and payment of BL.
Accordingly, for those who served in the army on any basis, it is relevant that their period of service is counted towards their work and insurance experience. It will be taken into account only if the citizen worked both before and after military service.
This applies to both military personnel in the army and those who belong to the National Guard, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other units, a full list of which is approved in the relevant legislative act (in Article 1 of Law 4468-1).
Article 1 of Law No. 4468-1
Benefits for employees when calculating seniority
Work experience allows a person to claim rights to certain benefits and compensation provided for by our legislation. Accordingly, the longer this period, the more rights a person receives when going on a well-deserved rest.
Young guys, one way or another, have to serve, regardless of their desire. The advantage is obvious, the years will not be wasted and will be included in the length of service, insurance, and sometimes benefits. After a while, the “collected period” may become the missing link for a pension, upon receipt of some kind of compensation from the state, special payments.
Is military service included in the insurance period?
By law, for military personnel, the service period is counted when the insurance period is formed, but it will be necessary to understand in more detail whether this applies to conscripts or also to those who serve under a contract.
If a citizen is in contract service, then in fact it is considered that he is engaged in labor activity (this just happens in the armed forces), accordingly, he is owed a certain salary and the legally required contributions to the Pension Fund are made.
Accordingly, this period of service is included in the insurance period and cannot be classified as a non-insurance period (as usually happens during conscription service).
If a citizen is in contract service, this period refers to the insurance period
If a citizen serves by conscription, then by law this period is included in the insurance period, despite the fact that the citizen does not receive a salary and does not make contributions to government agencies. The entire period of service is counted by calendar days, from the very beginning until the date of demobilization.
It is important to note ! In order for conscription service in the armed forces to be included in the insurance period, it is necessary that work activity begin immediately before service begins.
This also applies to those citizens who were trained in an army specialty at the relevant military educational institutions.
In order for the period of military service in the army to be included in the insurance period, the citizen must begin working before service
How to confirm service time
In some cases, persons who served in the army must confirm their presence in the Armed Forces. It is recommended to do this in advance. When finding a job after the army, when submitting a work book, a person should ask a HR specialist to enter information from the military ID. This procedure will simplify subsequent actions related to the formation of a pension.
If the above actions have not been carried out, then you will need to confirm your stay in the army directly with the Pension Fund. To do this, one of the following documents is provided to the department:
- military ID;
- certificate from the commissariat;
- extract from the military unit.
Note that studying at an institution subordinate to the Ministry of Defense is also included in the work experience. This fact is confirmed by a diploma from a university.
Healthy!
If you lose documents confirming the fact of being in military service, you should contact the military unit and request a duplicate document or simply an extract from the archives. There are several important rules related to taking into account length of service during the period of military service. In particular, insurance experience will be added only if there is employment before and after being in the army. This rule does not apply to contract workers, since they receive a salary, their length of service is accrued for the entire period of service.

Legislative documents and acts
The rules by which calculations and payments are made due to sick leave are prescribed in Federal Law 255.
It states that quantitative payments under the BL depend on how long the employee’s insurance period was.
In Article 16 of this legislative act, the time spent on military service must be taken into account in the insurance period so that the employee can receive his sick leave benefits.
Article 16 of Federal Law No. 255
The same applies to those who served in fire organizations, criminal enforcement agencies and drug control.
Accounting for service in military units at a certain time is prescribed in the regulatory act 76-FZ.
It describes that the length of service, which was not interrupted and was activated until January 1, 2007, took into account military service, but one day of service was counted as two in the length of service, despite the fact that no more than one year had passed from demobilization to the start of work. Also, now one day of service is counted as two when serving under conscription.
Important ! But if an employee served in the Armed Forces under a contract, then the service is considered 1 day for 1 day (only full years and months are taken into account).
Excerpt from Article 10 of Federal Law No. 76
Additional payment to pension for service in the Soviet army for pensioners
Citizens whose pension benefits were calculated according to the old rules (not according to the point system of calculation) can receive an increase in their pension for military service.
To do this, pensioners need:
- Contact the Pension Fund for recalculation and accounting of pension coefficients for the non-insurance period.
- In addition, supporting documents must be attached to the application. This could be a military ID, a copy of the work record book, if it contains such a record, a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office, etc.
Expert opinion
Grigoriev Pavel Kirillovich
Head of the department for conscription of citizens for military service of the Russian Federation
The cost of one pension point is indexed annually by the state. For example, in 2021, 1 pension coefficient was equal to 87.24 rubles, and in 2021 it was indexed by 6.6% and already amounted to 93.00 rubles.
Who benefits from recalculation?
Not all pensioners need to recalculate, since for some people periods of military service have already been taken into account, so they are not entitled to an increase. If a Russian served before January 1, 2002 , then the army years were already taken into account when determining the amount of pension benefits.
This is important to know: Compulsory military service for women
According to information posted on the Pension Fund website, the following citizens will benefit from applying for recalculation:
- those working in harmful or difficult working conditions (their amount of payments was determined based on their special length of service);
- those who worked for more than 45 years until 01/01/2002, etc.
Whether an increase is due for the war years or not can be determined only after analyzing the payment file of each individual Russian, for which you need to contact the Pension Fund. If, as a result of the recalculation, no increase is due, the pensioner will receive a notification that the amount of pension benefits remains the same.
What other periods should be taken into account?
Accordingly, the length of service considered as insurance has its own definition, which consists in the fact that it is specified as periods of working time for which salary accruals were made and contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation were made from this employee. This can be either an official place of work or conscription or contract service.
There are also additional periods that must be taken into account in the insurance period. These include:
- Receiving sick leave benefits (temporary disability);
- Leave of one of the parents dedicated to caring for a child under 1.5 years of age;
- BC for caring for a disabled person of the first group or a disabled child, as well as a person who at that time has reached 80 years of age.
- The period for which you received unemployment benefits, or were registered with the Employment Center;
- Performing public works with payment by a citizen;
- Relocation (relocation, relocation) to get a job under government distribution;
- Serving a sentence or being held criminally liable without proper grounds, rehabilitation after repression, as well as being in custody or in prison with subsequent recognition of guilt;
- Time spent by a legal military spouse serving on a contract basis in an area where there was no opportunity to obtain work (not to exceed five years);
- The time that spouses of diplomats or employees of trade missions and consulates of the Russian Federation spent abroad (also should not exceed five years).
Other periods are also included in the insurance period
In the case when several time periods from this list coincided in time and occurred simultaneously, then the calculation is carried out only for one, and it is the citizen who chooses it and applies for his payments.
Important ! These are periods that are not considered insurance, but they are counted if before and after them there were periods of official work and subject to insurance contributions.
Duration and experience
After the pension reform, not only the format of accrual of money, but also the very concept of length of service has changed significantly. Previously, we were talking only about work experience, today the key term is insurance. The adjustments also affected military personnel.
Insurance
The insurance period is the periods of time during which contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation were made for a citizen in favor of a future pension. This type of length of service is taken into account not only when determining pension payments, but also when paying for sick leave. According to Federal Law 400, military service is included in the insurance period.
According to the law, the following periods are counted in the insurance period, in addition to direct official employment:
- Work abroad in the Russian Federation, if the person paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund or in other situations provided for by law;
- The period of military service, as well as other equivalent service;
- The period of receiving compulsory social insurance benefits during the period of temporary disability;
- The period of care for a child by one of the parents until he reaches the age of 1.5 years. For one child only 18 months are taken into account, and for all children in total no more than 6 years;
- The time when the person received unemployment benefits;
- Time spent on paid public work;
- The period of relocation or resettlement in the direction of the state employment service to another area for employment;
- The period of detention if the validity of the charges brought against him has not been proven. This applies to persons who were unreasonably repressed and subsequently rehabilitated, and the period of serving their sentences in places of imprisonment and exile;
- The period of care of an able-bodied family member for a child with a disability, an adult disabled person of the first group or an elderly person over 80 years of age;
- The time a person spent with their military spouse in a place where there were no employment opportunities. The maximum time period is 5 years;
- Time of residence outside the borders of the Russian Federation in connection with the spouse’s work as a consul or diplomat. The maximum time period is 5 years;
- The period during which persons who were wrongfully prosecuted and subsequently rehabilitated were temporarily suspended from office;
- The period of exercise of powers by the judge.
Some of the periods indicated are subject to restrictions. For example, a military wife will receive a maximum of five years of insurance coverage, even if they lived in the place specified by law for a longer period of time.
Important!
In modern Russia, it is the insurance period that is the basis for assigning a pension. It not only gives the right to receive a payment for a certain number of years, but also has an impact on the IPC. Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”

Labor
Work experience refers to the total number of years when a citizen worked or was engaged in other labor activities in the territory of the Russian Federation. In accordance with Federal Law 173, military service is counted when adding up years of work experience.
As a general rule, continuous work experience is a period of employment when no more than one month has passed between job changes. However, with regard to military service, the rule is that a person must find a job within a year after demobilization. This benefit is based on the fact that after the army you need time to adapt and find a job.
Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ (as amended on June 4, 2014, as amended on November 19, 2015) “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”
We invite you to read: How to apply for a medical policy for a foreign citizen
General work experience lost its relevance in 2002, when the concept of insurance was introduced. However, current pensioners formed their content according to this parameter, so it is used when assigning and calculating payments. Military service was part of the OS.
The total length of service does not depend on the type of activity, reasons for changing jobs and breaks between jobs. Its calculation is carried out by adding up all periods of employment.
Healthy! The total length of service is taken into account when assigning disability and survivor benefits.
Preferential
Preferential length of service allows for early retirement if a person worked in difficult climatic conditions or in hazardous work. As for military service, it can also fall into the category of drugs if it took place in the Far North or involved armed actions.
By contract
In accordance with Federal Law 53, there are two options for military service in the Russian Federation: contract and conscription. In the first case, since the state pays wages and makes contributions from them to the Pension Fund, the person is credited with the insurance period. In essence, this is a kind of work where the employer is the state.
Contract service is a new and developing phenomenon in Russia. To enter the army on a contractual basis, you must meet the following criteria:
- Age from eighteen to forty years;
- Health group A or B, that is, fit for military service;
- Education not lower than secondary vocational.
Persons who were previously in the army can be enrolled in contract service.
Healthy! When concluding a contract, the physical condition of citizens is assessed. Preference is given to candidates with the first category - recommended first.
If a person has devoted more than twenty years to military service, then he has the right to retire early based on his length of service.
This decision is supported by the state. Firstly, a person receives a military pension with a number of additional payments. Secondly, after leaving the army, he has the right to find a job and upon reaching retirement age receive several pension payments.
We understand military service and BC calculations
By law, both contract and conscription service in the Armed Forces are included in a citizen’s insurance record, and then, based on it, sick leave benefits can be calculated.
This experience also includes the citizen’s stay in military educational institutions, in which the citizen was engaged in mastering the corresponding army specialty. This length of service can be maintained even if the service was interrupted, but it will be necessary to combine all completed military service (breaks are not taken into account) in order to obtain the final duration of this process.
When calculating payments under the BC, the length of service when a citizen serves is taken into account
If an officer has been called to service by the state, he also has the right not only to retain his place at work, but also to have the period of service included in the corresponding length of service recognized as insurance.
To obtain sick leave, it does not matter what the period of employment after military service was. But receiving a pension is possible only when both the beginning and the end of this period correspond to the extreme points of the work experience.
It does not matter whether the citizen had an official place of work before he left to serve, the main thing is to find a job immediately after the moment of demobilization - then all the requirements of the law will be satisfied.
Important ! A citizen has a year (but no more) to find an official place of work, otherwise it will be problematic to calculate his pension.
It is important that a citizen gets a job within a year after service
What to do with fixed-term service under a contract?
Service in the army on a contract basis involves receiving a salary and paying appropriate contributions to all state funds.
It follows from this that the time of contract service is included in the relevant length of service, and the allocation of time during a period not considered insurance is not required.
In the event that the dismissal occurred before January 1, 2007, when only continuous work experience was used to calculate sick leave, then being in the army is taken into account in this continuous work experience only if the interval between military service and entry into official work is not was more than three months.
When a citizen serves on a contract basis, he must make monthly payments to state funds
With regards to veterans of military operations that took place on the territory of other countries, as well as veterans who served in emergencies, during military operations and armed conflicts, as well as for those army employees who have more than twenty-five years of experience, it is not for them will mean what the time gap was.
During contract service, one day is counted as one, and during conscription, one day is counted as two days.
According to the second part 17 of Article 255 of the law, it is stated that it will be necessary to calculate the uninterrupted length of service until January 1, 2007, and to calculate the BL benefit, the value that is greater is taken.
Important ! After January 1, 2007, the concept of insurance period arose, and the very essence of continuity became meaningless.
Article 17 of Federal Law No. 255
Based on this, army service (contract or conscription) is included in the length of service on the same basis.
Moreover, if a citizen was part of the Armed Forces, then his length of stay is calculated to determine payments under the BC as 1 day for 1 day.
As an example:
Anatoly got a job and provided a military ID, which indicated that he was drafted into the armed forces, where he served from October 1, 2006 to October 1, 2008.
According to the order, Anatoly was hired on November 1, 2008, and his total length of service before military service was three years and one month. Will military service be taken into account when calculating sick leave?
We count: a total of 61 days have passed from October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. The service was conscription, multiplying the days by two, we get 122. Rounding to a full month - and the period will be 4 months.
The remaining period of military service was 22 months, and the calculation is then made one day at a time. This will remain for 22 months.
Now let’s add it up and get the total time of military service, on the basis of which the benefit will be calculated - that is, 26 plus 37, that’s 63 months. In years of insurance experience (full) this will be 5 and 3.
Accordingly, the amount of the benefit will be according to this time – 80%.
When a citizen serves in the army, this is taken into account as insurance experience; it is important when exactly he served - before 01/01/2007 or after
Important ! Non-insurance periods will include the time served after January 1, 2007, that is, a year and ten months.
Differences between labor experience (TrSt) and insurance experience (StrSt)
The first of these is compiled by periods of time of the employee’s activity, according to the notes entered in the worker’s work book before January 1, 2002.
Expert opinion
Kuzmin Dmitry Severinovich
Legal consultant with 10 years of experience. Specialization: civil law. Has experience in developing legal documentation.
The second type of length of service also accumulates the recorded time periods of work during which social insurance contributions were made.
What is insurance period for sick leave?
This includes fulfilling obligations under the labor contract (employment contract) and public service. Any other occupation within the time frame of which the worker contributed social security payments is also necessarily included.
Components of length of service for sick leave:
- fulfillment of the obligations specified in the TD,
- civil service,
- military service,
- any occupation during which social activities were carried out. deductions: entrepreneurship, deputy activity, church service, work of a convicted person.
It is noteworthy that StrST accumulates the work performed, not limited by location only outside the Russian Federation , but also outside its borders, while compliance with the rules is mandatory:
- If you want to work abroad, then your work must comply with Russian legislation or be secured by international treaties.
- You make insurance contributions to the Pension Fund.
When working on a fixed-term TD , you provide Social Security only if you make social insurance payments, otherwise the time of your activity will not be reflected in this type of work experience.
Is military service included in the length of service for calculating sick leave? And is training included in the insurance period for sick leave?
Military service and study are included in the insurance period for sick leave if the employee studied and was already working before 01/01/2007, since students worked in production for some time.
The period of study at the institute and technical school is not taken into account.
If a woman’s activities are supported by TD, the StrSt necessarily adds the terms of leave for labor and employment and for caring for a child up to 3 years old . (Law 2).
Is maternity leave included in the insurance period for accrual of sick leave? A woman can safely take a vacation and care for her baby, knowing that this will not entail the termination of her employment contract and she will definitely have a place in which she can work after returning from vacation.
Even if you did not make insurance contributions during this time to the FSS of Russia, this does not affect anything. If the time when you cared for the baby fell on the period before 01/01/2007, then it is added to the continuous TrSt.
In the StRS of foreign citizens, only the time of their employment in the territory of the Russian Federation is accumulated.
Citizens of other countries working in Russia can count on the summation of their Social Security only for the time they were employed here . Work abroad is not taken into account.
But for citizens of Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Armenia, the procedure for labor relations is based on the Agreement of these states on the mutual acceptance of TrST by all participants who signed the Agreement (Law 4).
It follows from this that when calculating length of service for hospital experience, you must adhere to the rules of this document and count periods of employment in the specified countries.
The necessary documents for calculating the insurance period for sick leave must be translated into Russian and officially certified.
Now let's see how to calculate the insurance period for sick leave.
When calculating length of service for sick leave, the following time intervals are accumulated:
- Duration of military service . This also includes employment in the penitentiary system, police department, etc.
- The period of illness for which a certificate of incapacity for work was opened.
- The periods of time in which you took care of the baby up to one and a half years old. A mother who went on several such vacations can only claim 4.5 years of StrSt, although, in general, they lasted longer.
- The time when a person is at the labor exchange and receives unemployment benefits . Periods of time spent moving to a new job, with a referral from the employment service.
- If you are caring for a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or elderly people over 80 years old, this time will also be counted in the StrSt.
- If a person is detained without reason in places of detention and periods of repression during subsequent rehabilitation.
- For spouses of military personnel , the StrSt includes the time the husband spent at the place of service, during which it was not possible to get a job. This only counts 5 years of the total. The same applies to spouses of diplomats located abroad.
The time periods listed above will be taken into account in the Social Security Policy if the person worked until the situation arose and began work immediately after them with the transfer of insurance funds to the Pension Fund.
Taking into account the specifics of working conditions and locality, the length of service required to pay sick leave is divided into general and special. The first involves working under normal conditions with the payment of insurance contributions.
The second implies, as an indispensable circumstance, a special status for calculating insurance compensation if the employee’s activities take place in a particularly harmful or difficult environment, as well as in territories with specific natural conditions.
What documents need to be prepared?
Confirmation of the terms of military service, which is the basis for including this time in the length of service recognized as insurance, is made on the basis of the following documents:
- The military ID itself, which indicates the periods during which the citizen served and his unit.
- A certificate received to confirm an illness or injury that occurred during service.
- If you received a military specialty, then a diploma from the relevant educational institution.
- A certificate stating that a citizen who served in the military has been demobilized.
When applying for a job, a serving citizen provides a certificate of demobilization to the personnel department - this is considered the main document that gives reason to make an appropriate entry in the work book.
To confirm your experience, you must provide certain documents
Important ! If you did not undergo military service before the army, then provide a clean work record and any document from those listed above, which gives grounds to consider the citizen to have completed military service.
Example
In order to correctly calculate the required amount of sick leave benefits, it is necessary to take into account not only the insurance period itself, but also other points, for example, the employee’s average earnings per day and the duration of the period of illness.
Let's look at the relevant example.
Sergei worked in an official job for 4 years, and before that he served in the military for a year, so Sergei's total experience will be five years.
In just the last two years, he earned 900,000 rubles, receiving an average of 1,232 rubles a day.
Then the sick leave coefficient will be 80%, and from the amount of average earnings per day it will be 985 rubles. That is, a BL lasting 8 days will be paid in the amount of 7880 rubles.
Important ! You also need to know that personal income tax is withheld from sick leave, and then, after income tax is withheld, the payment amount will be 6,856 rubles (for sick leave).
When calculating sick leave, the employee’s SDZ is also taken into account
In special conditions, an employee may have the right to receive the so-called regional coefficient, which is paid, for example, to those who work in the Far North - in this case the benefit will be higher.
Under BL, payments come from the appropriate budget allocated by the employer for the first 3 days of sick leave, and the rest of the time will be paid by the Social Insurance Fund.
As an exception, BLs that were opened in the presence of an occupational illness or injury received at work, as well as during childbirth and pregnancy are considered - they will be fully paid for by the Social Insurance Fund.
Important ! In order to calculate the amount of benefits for a certificate of incapacity for work, the human resources department considers various factors, including the insurance period. It determines the final amount of payments, including military service, which is included in this insurance period.
Payments under the BL are partially made by the employer, partially by the Social Insurance Fund
Non-insurance periods
Gonachrov A.I. submitted a certificate of incapacity for work to Minmashstry LLC on March 1, 2021, lasting 15 days.
Labor activity of A. I. Gonachrov:
- 01.02.2003 – 05.02.2005 – OJSC “Spetsmashinburenie”;
- 02/05/2005 – 02/05/2007 – conscript military service;
- 02/05/2007 – 04/17/2010 – LLC SA “Regress”;
- 05/01/2010 to the present day - Minmashstroy LLC.
We calculate the insurance period until 2007 in days:
OJSC "Spetsmashinburenie": 365 - 31 (2003) 366 (2004) 31 5 (2005) = 736 days.
Conscription service: 365- (31 5) (2005) 365 (2006). = 694 days.
Total = 694,736 = 1430 days.
In the army: 365 - (31 5) (2005) 365 (2006). = 694 days.
The service was carried out by conscription, so we multiply the value by 2.
Total = 1388,736 = 2144 days.
We compare the values for insurance and continuous experience. The second one is higher, which means we use the value of 2144 days for the period before January 1, 2007
In the army - 5 31 = 36 days.
LLC SA "Regress": 365 – 36 = 329 (2007) 366 (2008) 365 (2009) (31 28 31 17) (2010) = 167 days.
Minmashstroy LLC: 365 - (31 28 31 30) = 245 days (2010);
245 365 366 365 365 365 366 365 (31 28) = 2467 days.
We determine the full months: 193.8, that is, 193 months
We determine full years: 193/12=16 years 1 month.
According to the table, the payment will be 100% of average earnings.
Not only military service and work under an employment contract are counted towards the insurance period. There are several more periods:
- Caring for a child up to one and a half years old.
- The period when a person was registered with the Employment Center and received benefits.
- Performing public works that are paid.
- The time during which the person moved to another city for the purpose of employment (if the referral was issued at the Employment Center).
- The period during which a citizen was imprisoned, but only if he was subsequently found not guilty.
- Stay abroad of consular employees.
If there are several children in a family, then the total duration of parental leave, which is included in the insurance period, is 4.5 years (no more). It is necessary to make appropriate notes about all these periods in the work book. If this is not maintained, all data about these periods must be specified in the employment contract.
Since 2015, the calculation of pension payments in Russia has changed. The size of the future old-age pension is determined by an individual coefficient related to the amount of wages and the number of years worked. Both indicators are based on contributions to the Pension Fund by the employer, that is, only the official income of citizens is taken into account.
We invite you to read: What is not counted in the insurance period
As for military service, despite the fact that during this period no contributions are made to the Pension Fund, 1.8 pension points are added for each year of service. This figure is comparable to the average salary of a person at work.
Attention! Non-insurance periods are those for which contributions were not paid, but which are considered when calculating the insurance period. For example, military service.
Such activity must be adequately proven. Duration of military service can be verified using a military ID card.
On the sick leave, non-insurance periods are recorded in the “To be completed by the employer” section. This is reflected in the column “insurance period” in the subsection “including non-insurance periods”. The number of years and months of non-insurance activities is indicated.
Non-insurance periods are calculated as follows:
- First, the number of days, full months and full years in all intervals of activity is determined.
- Then the data is summarized. Moreover, every 30 days are combined into full months, every 12 months are combined into full years.
If there are coincidences in the time periods, then only one of them is selected at the choice of the insured person. The choice must be confirmed by a statement.
Sick leave benefits are calculated in a standard manner, regardless of what percentage of the total length of service consists of non-insurance periods. Sick leave is paid for the first 3 days at the expense of the policyholder, starting from the 4th day - at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund. Let's look at an example of accrual.
2 1.5 5 = 8.5 (Olga’s insurance experience is 8.5 years. This means that she can count on benefits in the amount of 100% of her earnings).
1400*14 = 19,600 (Olga’s benefit amount).
Let's summarize. Disability benefits depend on the length of insurance coverage. In general, it is determined by the dates when insurance premiums were paid for a citizen. The legislation provides for the inclusion of non-insurance periods (military service, etc.) in the insurance period.

For military wives
Since 2009, there has been a rule that clarifies that for military wives, the length of service includes the period of service of the husbands in the new place where the wife followed him.
If a woman did not have the opportunity to perform work in her specialty, and she was registered with the employment service, then this downtime due to forced circumstances will be counted towards her insurance period.
This period during which inaction occurred must be confirmed by certificates issued by the leadership of the military organization; this procedure is determined by the Ministry of Defense.

Is the army included in preferential seniority?
When forming preferential length of service, this indicator often includes the time period of military service.

Also, some military personnel with certain positions can also count on preferential service; to obtain reliable information for this year, it is better to seek advice from the relevant authority.

The sick leave itself can only be issued in a medical institution. It is issued on the day the patient sees a doctor. The duration of release depends on the severity of the disease, and starts from three days, after which it is extended.

Length of service and percentage of payments
According to the law, there is a regulation that the amount of temporary disability benefits directly depends on how long the insurance period is - the longer the work activity continues, the higher the accrued benefit will be.
Such social payments are a certain percentage, which will be determined by length of service depending on the average salary of the worker.
- If the experience is less than six months, then the amount will be no less than the minimum wage.
- If the length of service is less than five years, the benefit amount will be 60%.
- From five to eight years – 80%.
- And more than eight years – 100%.
