Nuances of calculating medical experience for retirement
Good afternoon, sir and madam. I continue to introduce you to the “eternally sore” topic of retirement, calculation of length of service and other pension issues.
The legislation defines certain categories of citizens who have the right to count on preferential conditions when entering a well-deserved retirement. For example, the conditions of retirement for employees of medical institutions included in the legislative list differ from the generally accepted ones. In general, people involved in healthcare in the Russian Federation have a special medical experience and are subject to a different procedure when registering and calculating pensions.
However, the benefits guaranteed by law do not provide for an increase in the amount of benefits or the introduction of additional payments. Benefits for doctors include a reduction in the required work experience. In the case when all Russians receive an additional 1 year, in addition to this, doctors are given another 3 to 9 months. A long-service pension is awarded to doctors who have accumulated sufficient experience. To retire, such people will not have to wait until retirement age (55-60 years). The length of service of doctors is calculated in different ways, taking into account different working conditions and qualifications.
