The Ministry of Labor proposes to include courses in seniority

The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation proposed a new method for calculating the length of service for early retirement. The changes may affect several categories of workers, especially those who often take refresher courses.
According to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta», According to the project, periods of training in refresher courses may be included in the length of service, but on the condition that for this period the employee will retain his job and salary. The employer must also continue to pay pension contributions during this period.
Currently, training is not taken into account when calculating the seniority for early retirement. More often than others, according to the Ministry of Labor, doctors, teachers, and public transport workers improve their qualifications. They are all eligible for early retirement benefits.
