How to calculate the preferential length of service of medical workers

Preferential length of service is work experience that allows a certain category of workers, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, to go on vacation earlier than established by general legislative standards. Accrual of preferential pensions to medical workers is possible only after achieving special length of service.

Special length of service starting from 2021 is established depending on the location of work:

• You must work in a town, village or village for 25 years;
• 30 years - in the city.

Several special rules when calculating benefits for doctors:

1. For such categories of physicians as surgeons, resuscitators, forensic experts, ambulance workers, burn center specialists, not a single calculation coefficient is used (12 months = 1 year of experience), but 1.5. This means that a specialist in this category, having worked for 1 year, receives 1.5 years of service.
2. Medical workers working in rural areas or combining work outside the city and in the city have the right to use a coefficient of 1.3.
3. There is a pension benefit for medical employees of military units. For them, a coefficient of 1.6 is used.

For employees who do not apply to the special conditions described above, the standard coefficient is 1.

The calculation of special experience is necessarily based on the calculation of medical experience - i.e. years that a person has worked as a medical worker.

• Part-time work in the medical field (total);
• Temporary disability;
• Maternity leave;
• Completion of training to improve qualification skills;
• Probation periods.

The length of service does not include:

• Residency and internship;
• Holiday to care for the child;
• Vacation at your own expense.

Also, upon retirement, a medical worker may be assigned additional payments according to the coefficient, depending on the region of residence.

When are doctors eligible for early retirement?

The main condition for accrual benefits for medical workers is compliance with the requirement of having a work period of 25 or 30 years. The additional payment for continuous medical experience depends on the area where the person works. Despite the reform of the pension system, these indicators did not change.

The calculation algorithm and the list of specific positions are determined by regulations that apply depending on the period of work:

• until 01/01/1992 - Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated 09/06/1991 No. 1397;
• from 01.01.1992 to 31.10.1999 - Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR dated 06.09.1991 No. 464;
• from 01.11.1999 to 31.12.2001 - Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 22.09.1999 No. 1066;
• after 01.01.2002 - Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 29.10.2002 No. 781.

They indicate which periods of work will be counted in the calculation:

• in certain types of organizations located in certain areas;
• in established positions.

How to apply for a preferential pension

Benefits can be applied for by following a similar algorithm:

1. Collection of all necessary documents;
2. Writing a petition;
3. Visit to the Pension Fund;
4. Waiting for a decision.

A physician can apply for a preferential pension in 2021 either independently, by contacting the relevant authorities, or with the help of a representative, for example, a family member. The representation must be notarized, i.e. be of a legal nature.

Methods for submitting documents and applications:

1. Contacting the Pension Fund at your place of residence;

The increase in the retirement age in Russia affected not only those categories of workers who can retire upon reaching a certain age, but also beneficiaries who receive the right to a long-service pension. Due to the complexity of their profession, medical workers are included in the preferential list of persons entitled to early receipt of pension benefits.

Changes to pension legislation in 2021 will also continue for some recipients of early pensions due to preferential reasons.

• From January 1, 2021, the rules for retirement will be adjusted for .
• Such adjustments will also affect medical workers who have the right to receive an early pension upon receipt of the required professional experience.

Conditions for early retirement for medical workers in 2020

Not all medical workers can count on early leave. The list of beneficiaries was approved by Resolution No. 781 of October 29, 2002 . Those healthcare workers who meet two criteria at once can retire on preferential terms:

• Their profession is listed in the List of Resolution No. 781.
• The medical institution meets the standards established by the List.

Being included in the List allows you to retire based on your years of service. After the pension reform, the conditions for obtaining benefits have changed and depend not only on the number of years worked . According to the law, for a well-deserved rest, a health worker must have the following indicators:

• Work for a sufficient number of years . In accordance with Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, for employees of rural and township medical institutions, the bar is set at 25 years of work in the profession, for others at 30 years. The length of service for some categories is calculated differently, for example, one year is counted as one and a half years.
• Accumulate a sufficient amount of IPC (individual pension coefficient) . For beneficiaries in 2021 it was set at 13.8 points, in 2021 it became 16.2. The IPC will be gradually increased by 2.4 points each year until it reaches a maximum of 30 points.
• Work out a set delay.

The innovations do not abolish length of service, but balance it with standard retirement periods. These measures will help maintain the existing difference between beneficiaries and citizens who do not belong to these categories.

The concept of deferment based on length of service

A deferment is a set period of time that increases the time required for beneficiaries to work.

In accordance with established legislative standards, by 2023 the deferment amount will reach the required maximum of 5 years.

• At the same time, the increase in the deferment value will occur in stages: each year the term of early appointment will be postponed by 1 year (except for the first two years - 2021 and 2021) until the final value is set at 5 years (in 2023).

This will increase the amount of service established for today:

• for health workers of rural organizations and institutions located in urban settlements, from 25 to 30 years;
• for other categories of beneficiaries from 30 to 35 years.

Table for increasing the deferment period until 2023

The following system for increasing the deferment period has been developed, presented in the table:

Thus, due to the transition period:

• In 2021, medical workers who completed their service in the second half of 2021 will be able to retire.

They will apply for a pension during the first half of 2020 - six months after the development of the special pension. length of service

It is impossible to register and receive a pension benefit until the end of the established deferment.

• But there are also advantages to this situation.
• The law does not oblige beneficiaries to work deferred time.
• In fact, a health worker may move to another field or not work at all after the required length of service, but wait for the end of the deferred time.

Calculation of preferential length of service for doctors

Preferential length of service is calculated depending on the period during which the work was carried out, and which group of beneficiaries the doctor belongs to.

Conditions that change the rules for calculating preferential length of service

• For doctors working in rural areas or in urban settlements, the life expectancy is 1.3 years for every 12 months.
• Specialists who are included in the List of professions subject to special consideration of length of service are awarded 1.5 years of service instead of one year worked.
• For medical institutions of the Russian Federation located abroad, the length of service is calculated 1:1.

The estimated 12 months are calculated if the physician has worked the required amount of time during the specified period. Until November 1, 1999

this indicator did not affect the benefit. Therefore, part-time workers could also benefit from special conditions, but this generalized approach was subsequently abolished.

At the moment, only those periods of time that were worked out according to established standards are subject to accounting..

For health workers who have mixed experience, the calculation is made for each individual entry in the work book. They will be able to retire early only if they accumulate the required benefit period in total. When combining several professions, the work time for each of them is summed up and taken into account if the time standard has been worked out.

What professions allow you to count a year as one and a half years?

Resolution No. 781 approved the List of medical positions, the time worked for which is calculated according to the maximum coefficient. The professions listed in it receive 18 months of preferential service for every 12 months worked .

List of medical positions receiving a 1.5 coefficient of experience

The List includes:

• Surgeons of all directions and profiles.
• Nurses helping in operating rooms, working in purulent surgery, as well as burn, trauma, oncology, microsurgical, otolaryngological, orthopedic departments.
• Midwives.
• Anesthesiologists.
• Reanimatologists.
• Nurse anesthetists.
• Ward nurses in anesthesiology, resuscitation, intensive care.
• Forensic experts.
• Mid-level medical personnel who perform autopsies and forensic examinations.
• Pathologists and other health workers in pathology departments.

The specified professions must be registered in the work book in the same form as in the List.

Only under this condition is the length of service taken into account at a preferential coefficient.

Controversial issues in determining the required length of service for a medical worker

Expert opinion

Semenov Alexander Vladimirovich

Legal consultant with 10 years of experience. Specializes in the field of civil law. Member of the Bar Association.

Controversial issues often arise when calculating preferential length of service, because The lists changed according to the requirements of the time and the state. Consequently, the periods of service correspond to the laws of different years.

Experience can be preferential, where 12 months will be counted for 1 year and 6 months - this experience is taken into account if a doctor or junior medical workers held a position or worked in an institution that is on the corresponding list.

Rural doctors and paramedics have priority. The experience requirements for such a specialist are less - 25 years versus 30 years of “urban” experience.

Unlike length of service, deferment is not limited to work in the medical field; however, not all medical workers will want to change activities.

What is needed to apply for a preferential pension?

In order to retire and receive preferential compensation pension payments, a medical employee will need to collect the necessary documents and submit them to the pension department at his place of residence. The main confirmation is a certificate of availability of the required amount of medical experience.

You can check its availability in the personnel department of the medical institution.

List of required documents

The general list of required documents may be determined by the pension fund department and depend on the individual characteristics of determining compensation payments to a particular employee.

In any case, originals and copies (properly certified) of the following documents will be required:

• passport;
• original work book (its copy certified by a medical institution. It may be required to record that the citizen continues to work);
• national insurance certificate (SNILS);
• a certificate confirming the presence of the required amount of medical experience, certified by the signature and seal of an authorized representative of the employer;
• personal application for an early preferential pension.

Submission of documents is carried out in person. If, for some reason, a citizen is unable to submit documents on his own, he can send them in a valuable letter with an inventory. In this case, copies of documents must be notarized.

Among the additional documents that may be required by pension fund employees, the following groups of certificates are highlighted:

1. on the level of average income of a citizen at the time of acquiring the right to early retirement;
2. confirmation of disability (long-term disability);
3. the document on the basis of which the surname was changed;
4. certificate from the place of actual registration and residence.

State duty and application processing time

• When submitting documents for registration of a pension, state fees are not paid.
• According to the law, consideration of an application for a pension and all annexes to it must be carried out within ten days from the date of their registration.

Based on the results of the consideration, the citizen is informed in writing. To guarantee a positive outcome of the review, it is advisable to sign up for a consultation with pension fund specialists in advance in order to check the documents you have before their official submission.

What should employees of private clinics do?

Employees of private medical centers have the right to apply for early retirement and social security if they have sufficient work experience in their specialty and the employer makes monthly contributions to the Pension Fund.

A private institution must be registered in accordance with the procedure established by law, have the status of a legal entity and a license to provide medical (surgical) services. PF employees may require the provision of documents confirming the state registration of a legal entity.

Other privileges

The state provides other privileges to healthcare workers.

Among them:

1. Medical care at the place of work. It is paid for by the employer.
2. Shorter working day. The work week is 24, 30, 33 or 36 hours (depending on the category of the employee).
3. Special meals for personnel of X-ray departments, surgery and intensive care.
4. Additional days to paid leave – from 14 to 35 days (depending on the place of employment).
5. Additional payments and bonuses, the amount of which is established by the administration of the healthcare institution.

Doctors practicing in rural areas are provided with housing.

• It is paid for by the local budget.
• After 10 years of service at this place of work, a health worker has the right to live in this house or apartment permanently, even after retirement due to length of service or age.

The list of additional incentives also includes:

• provision of land for individual housing construction,
• compensation for housing and communal services expenses,
• social mortgage.

Conclusion

In connection with the pension reform and the increase in the retirement age in Russia, preferential retirement for doctors based on length of service will not be abolished, but an additional condition will be provided for obtaining pensioner status - a delay of several years before applying for a pension. After the end of the transition period of the reform (starting from 2023), doctors will be able to become pensioners only 5 years after completing the required length of service (see.

table for increasing the deferment period until 2023).

People working in certain fields have the right to retire early. This includes persons whose working conditions are recognized as harmful. The work of doctors is considered to be just that because of the large number of stressful situations and increased labor costs.

Calculation of preferential length of service for retirement

This period is calculated based on what time the work activity was carried out and which group of beneficiaries the health worker belongs to.

To count, you need to write down all your places of work and positions held in chronological order.

You should know the nuances:

• work time before November 1, 1999 is included in the preferential calculation of length of service in full;
• from January 1, 2002, one year of work in any of the above positions is equal to the equivalent period for special experience. There is an amendment here: if a doctor works, for example, in a rural area, then 12 months of his official work is equal to 1.3 years for benefits.

Also, a year is equal to one and a half years for the following specializations:

1. surgeons;
2. ambulance service workers;
3. employees in the field of intensive care;
4. forensic experts;
5. anesthesiologists;
6. pathologists;
7. laboratory specialists.

A more detailed list is presented in regulations. Training in medical institutions is included in a special period of work if the future doctor at the same time officially worked in a suitable position.

If a doctor has a mixed length of service, he will be able to retire early only if he has accumulated the required preferential length of service in total.

Long service pension for medical workers

A health worker has the right to begin receiving pension payments based on length of service if he has accumulated at least 30 years of experience (for doctors working in the city), 25 years (for doctors working in the region).

In total, several options for recording length of service are used in the Russian Federation:

1. Standard (12 calendar months are equal to a year of experience).
2. For health workers who performed their own duties in a city or village (12 calendar months are equal to 15 months of experience).
3. For certain groups of health workers (12 calendar months are equal to 18 months of experience).

If several conditions are met, the benefits are cumulative. For example, for a resuscitator, the preferential allowance will be equal to 21 months.

In what cases can you get a preferential pension?

A health worker can count on accruing a preferential pension if he worked in a village. In this case, each year of work will give 15 months of experience. In addition, doctors holding positions established by law can retire early (1 year of work gives 1.5 years of experience):

• surgeon;
• a nurse who participated in surgical operations;
• pathologist;
• obstetrician-gynecologist;
• a nurse who, while performing her own work duties, performed purulent dressings, worked in a trauma/burn department or a tuberculosis dispensary;
• anesthetist;
• resuscitator;
• forensic scientist

How to calculate a preferential pension

First of all, you need to determine the length of service. It must be remembered that for certain groups of medical workers, 12 months of work gives 1.5 years of experience.

In addition, the salary is equal to the established coefficient.

To calculate pension payments for long service, you need to familiarize yourself with the following example:

1. For example, a doctor worked for 20 years in a row in a hospital. He worked in the surgical department as a doctor, so his length of service is equal to the product of 20 and 1.5, that is, 30. Consequently, the citizen can begin to receive pension payments for his length of service.
2. When calculating labor pension provision, a fixed payment (4823 rubles) and a pension point indicator (78) are taken into account.

Depending on the subject of the Russian Federation in which the person was employed, he may be assigned a preferential additional payment corresponding to the regional coefficient.

Legislation

The preferential pension for medical workers is stipulated in Law No. 13 of the Russian Federation “On Labor Pensions of the Russian Federation”. This law states that early retirement is allowed to employees who have worked for the required period of time in medical institutions located both in the city and in rural areas.

Early retirement is allowed for health workers who have worked both in a private clinic and in a public one. Resolution No. 781 of the Russian Federation describes the list of positions that are entitled to a preferential pension and a long-service pension.

List of positions

Medical workers are eligible for this preferential pension only if they performed medical work, and not teaching staff or administrative workers (secretary, accountant).

The list of constituent workers is as follows:

• Head of the paramedic care department.
• Paramedics.
• Head nurse.
• Midwives and senior midwives.
• Dental doctors.
• Nurses of various profiles.
• Health workers technology and engineering.
• Laboratory assistants from different departments.
• Workers helping epidemiologists, entomologists, parasitologists, and sanitary doctors.
• Disinfectors and instructors working in this area.
• Attending surgical doctors who perform operations (as well as managers and nurses).
• Pathologists.
• Court medical expert.
• Anesthesiologists and resuscitation workers.

Registration of early pension

For medical workers, the algorithm for assigning pensions is indistinguishable from the procedure for registering pensions for everyone else. A citizen is required to consistently perform the following actions:

1. Collecting a set of papers for registration of pension benefits.
2. Writing a petition.
3. Contact the Pension Fund.
4. Waiting for a decision.

It is possible to submit an application for preferential pension provision through:

• personal visit to the Pension Fund institution at your residence address;
• visit to the MFC;
• contacting the HR department of the employing organization.

In addition, a Russian has the right to use the virtual portal of government services, where he can draw up an application and send documents.

The basic set of documents includes:

• general passport;
• SNILS;
• work book.

The doctor will also need to prepare statements confirming that he has worked for so many years in a certain position. In some situations, Pension Fund employees require the following documents:

• statement of average salary;
• confirmation that the applicant was employed in the region;
• a document confirming the address of residence or stay abroad for a certain period;
• document confirming the change of surname (marriage certificate);
• document confirming incapacity;
• a certificate confirming the presence of dependent persons.

The date on which the Russian citizen submitted the application is considered the day the preferential pension is issued.

If there is not enough information to assign pension payments and calculate payments to Pension Fund employees, you will need to request documents from your last place of work.

After receiving a set of papers, Pension Fund employees begin to consider the application. This procedure lasts a maximum of a month. If PFR employees discover inaccuracies, they will notify the citizen by calling a phone number or by letter.

Health workers who work in private clinics can receive a preferential pension if the employer regularly transfers money to the Pension Fund. A private clinic must be registered as a legal entity. To do this, a citizen needs to bring to the Pension Fund the Charter of the enterprise or documents on state registration (if the legal entity was registered later than 1994).

Medical experience in a private clinic

In Russia, regulations from Soviet times still apply to this day, when there were no market relations and there were no private clinics.
With the advent of commercial medical institutions, it became necessary to take into account the length of service of doctors in them. But given the fact that they were not mentioned in the regulations, doctors who worked in them before retirement age were denied a preferential pension, although the total length of service was taken into account if the clinic had a license for medical activities. The recognition of medical experience as sufficient for preferential calculation of pensions took place in court. In 2004, the Constitutional Court ruled that the form of ownership is not a basis for not recognizing the right of doctors to benefits. Thus, according to this resolution, employees of commercial medical institutions have the right to early retirement in exactly the same way as doctors who work in public hospitals.

Reform 2021 in Russia - latest news for health workers

Expert opinion

Semenov Alexander Vladimirovich

Legal consultant with 10 years of experience. Specializes in the field of civil law. Member of the Bar Association.

The 2021 pension reform also applies to health workers. For them, the new bill number 350 of October 3, 2021 introduces a deferment period for the appointment of preferential pensions for long service.

The duration of this period will increase every year. The final standards will be set in 2023; they will be equal to 60 months .

This means that those doctors who accumulate the required preferential length of service in 2023 and later will retire only after 60 months, that is, in 2028.

The standard for the introduced deferment will increase according to a certain algorithm. From 2021, this indicator will increase by 12 months annually, until it reaches 5 years in 2023. In 2021 and 2020, it will be possible to issue pension payments six months ahead of schedule.

The new bill, which was adopted on October 3, 2018, does not provide conditions for the type of activity of health workers during the deferment period. Consequently, during the established 6-60 months, a citizen can either continue to work or quit.

The issue of calculating pension payments is relevant for every Russian, including doctors. To establish all the specifics of assigning pensions, it is necessary to study Russian legislation. The most important information related to the assignment of payments to health workers was also provided here.

For more information on how the reform affected doctors, watch the video:

Not long ago, pension reform began in Russia. It also affected preferential pensions for medical workers. In 2021, medical workers who have already earned the length of service required for retirement will not be able to retire immediately.

Changes in calculating length of service due to coronavirus

The government has changed the procedure for calculating preferential pension service for medical workers who treat patients with coronavirus and suspected cases. In accordance with the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated August 10, 2020, from January 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020, one day of work with coronavirus patients will be counted as two working days. As Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin explained at a meeting of the government’s coordinating council to combat coronavirus:

Thanks to this decision, about four thousand doctors and other medical workers will be able to retire early every year. According to preliminary estimates, its payments will require an additional 325 million rubles annually. Such funds are provided for this in the budget.

The rest of the pension conditions for medical workers have not yet changed. Including a deferment period, which delays retirement for a period of 2 to 5 years.

Changes in legislation

By law, categories of public sector employees such as teachers, doctors and representatives of some other professions are entitled to receive certain benefits.

According to the information received, the delay schedule will be approximately as follows:

• Those who achieve the required preferential length of service in the first half of 2020 will be able to go on vacation in the second half of 2021
• Those who achieve the required length of service in the second half of 2021 will retire in the second half of 2022
• From 2021, the deferment period will be increased from one and a half years to three
• In 2022, the deferment will increase to four years.
• In 2023 it will be five years

While the pension reform has not yet reached its completion, these periods may change. Some citizens are worried: will preferential pensions for medical workers be cancelled? To date, the government has no such plans.

There is an exception for employees who earned the required service in 2021. They are entitled to a preferential pension 6 months earlier than the deadline determined by law. This means that social benefits will be assigned and paid to them not after 2 years, but after 1.5. The countdown starts from the moment the required length of service is acquired.

Which medical workers are entitled to retirement benefits?

Since having sufficient medical experience presupposes the provision of a certain benefit in the form of retirement earlier than usual, the need naturally arose to specify the positions of healthcare workers who are entitled to it.

In this regard, the Government issued Resolution No. 781 on October 29, 2002, which contains the corresponding list of positions.

Reference! The legal document in question also establishes a list of teaching staff entitled to this benefit.

So, according to the Resolution, healthcare workers who have the opportunity to receive early financial support include:

Senior medical staff

• medical practitioners;
• doctors who hold economic and administrative positions in healthcare institutions.

Nursing staff

• nurses (including senior and chief);
• paramedics (including senior ones, heads of first aid stations);
• midwives;
• laboratory assistants (including x-ray technicians);
• dentists and dentists;
• medical technologists and disinfectors.

The list presented in this article is not exhaustive.

In general, the category of beneficiaries should include those employees of healthcare institutions who directly carry out medical activities and have a medical education. For other employees of medical institutions (for example, administrative and technical personnel), the calculation of length of service occurs on a general basis.

Calculation features

Accrual of preferential pensions to medical workers is possible only after achieving special length of service.

• Must have worked in a town, village or village for 25 years
• 30 years - in the city

• For such categories of physicians as surgeons, resuscitators, forensic experts, ambulance workers, burn center specialists, not a single calculation coefficient is used (12 months = 1 year of experience), but 1.5. This means that a specialist in this category, having worked for 1 year, receives 1.5 years of service
• Medical workers working in rural areas or combining work outside the city and in the city have the right to use a coefficient of 1.3
• There is a pension benefit for medical employees of military units. For them, a coefficient of 1.6 is used

• Part-time work in the medical field (total)
• Temporary disability
• Maternity leave
• Completion of training to improve qualification skills
• Probation periods

• Residency and internship
• Holiday to care for the child
• Vacation at your own expense

Correct calculation of experience

Typically, a pension is awarded to those people who have reached the age specifically prescribed by law. After the implementation and completion of the pension reform, it will be slightly higher, but today it is fifty-five years for women and sixty for men, despite the fact that the life expectancy of the former is somewhat higher at this time. Medical workers in the list of positions proposed above do not belong to this category, since their pension does not depend on biological age in any way.

To receive a pension at any period of life (early), medical workers must have exactly 25 years of full-time work experience in rural areas, or 30 years of the same experience in towns, cities and urban-type settlements (UGT). It wouldn’t hurt to figure out how the length of service itself is calculated and how pensions are calculated.

• Work in city clinics and other medical institutions is counted one to one, that is, year after year.
• If you work in rural areas, the length of service will be calculated as a year, one year and three months.
• In the most difficult conditions and in dangerous positions that require extremely strong responsibility, the length of service is considered to be one and a half years.
• If there are several different options for the reasons why a person has the right to early retirement, all will be taken into account, regardless of whether they overlap in time or not.

When planning to approximately estimate your own chances of retiring prematurely, it is also worth thinking about the rates, since the grace period only counts the time that a person worked full-time, and not half-time. In exceptional cases, the addition of rates is provided if the required amount of time (experience) has been worked out for one or more.

What is and is not included in the experience

When planning to find out what the pension for doctors based on length of service will be and to whom, many are interested in whether the period of training will be included in the length of service, since this gives five to eight additional years to the “common pot”. Yes, other factors also play a role, so it won’t hurt to find out which periods will be included in the total length of service.

• All paid holidays while working.
• Maternity leave.
• Disability leave with funding.
• Time for paid advanced training.

There are points and periods during the work process that in no way can be included in the total length of service for early retirement. A striking example would be parental leave for three or six years. The second example is the period of study in medical educational institutions, which will also not be included in the pension experience, although if the study takes place on the job, then other registration conditions may arise.

Formation of experience of beneficiaries

In order to retire early, doctors must work in medical institutions for a certain period of time.

As mentioned above, it should be 25–30 years, depending on the place of employment of the citizen.

Experience is formed not only on the basis of the duration of work in a particular institution, but also includes other periods, including:

• probationary period assigned during employment in a medical institution;
• compulsory annual leave;
• period of temporary inoperability;
• maternity leave;
• etc.

Leave received to care for a minor child or for other personal purposes is not included in the length of service on the basis of which the corresponding right to an early preferential pension is formed.

However, most healthcare workers require full-time employment. The exception is nurses.

The length of service may not be counted if there has been a serious violation of discipline. We are talking about an employee appearing at the workplace in a state of alcohol or drug intoxication, failure to comply with relevant safety rules, etc.

• for special categories working outside the city, 1 year is counted as 1 year and 3 months of experience;
• for specializations provided for by law, 1 year is counted as 1.5 years.

These benefits can also be cumulative. For example, for a district nurse working outside the city, that is, in a village or urban settlement, 1 year of work is equal to 1 year and 9 months of experience.
