St. Fatima Nogailieva, assistant at the Department of Labor and Social Law at St. Petersburg State University, said the following in an interview with the agency: “Hit the primer”When a citizen retires, he may discover that some of his work experience is “missing.”
According to him, part of the work experience may be “lost” due to various mistakes made by the employee himself or his employer. Errors of the employer, who is responsible for collecting and transmitting information on the employee’s work activities, are often the cause of the lack of work experience.
“In some cases, Russians sign civilian contracts instead of employment contracts, depriving themselves of the opportunity to take such working hours into account in insurance records,” the expert said.
Such data is not reflected in the pensioner’s Individual Personal Account (IPA).
As Nogailieva notes, gray wages are also unprofitable for an employee. Using this trick, the employer pays less insurance premiums, but his employee will receive a lower pension in the future.
The expert noted that the employer sometimes neglects its obligation to pay insurance premiums. In this case, the length of service will need to be proven and the employer will be forced to pay contributions through the court.
In case of “lost” data on work experience accumulated before the transition to the compulsory pension insurance system in 2002, the future retiree must contact the regional branch of the Russian Social Fund. Nogailieva added that here it is necessary to document the hours of work missing in the ILS, provide a work book, employment contracts, extracts from work orders, pay slips.
