A long-service pension is not available to everyone, but only to people in certain professions.

They can count on it:

• miners;
• firefighters;
• astronauts;
• rescue workers;
• civil servants;
• persons who are workers in the fishing industry;
• people of creative professions;
• medical workers;
• teachers and lecturers;
• military personnel;
• test pilots;
• other professions that have harmful and difficult working conditions.

We will talk about such a category of citizens as municipal employees.

Workers in this sector have the right to receive long-service pensions. To do this, you must have at least 15 years of experience and fulfill certain conditions when terminating your employment contract or resigning:

• the municipal employee has reached retirement age;
• if the authority ceased to operate and the employee was laid off;
• the employee has reached the maximum age in this position;
• his term of office has expired;
• his health does not meet the necessary conditions for work in this position;

A municipal employee must work in one position for at least 1 year in order to receive this type of pension in the future.

If an employee has worked for more than 15 years in this field of activity, then for each year over that he is entitled to a 3% bonus, but the entire pension cannot be more than 75% of the average salary that he received during his entire service.

An important point is that the pension cannot be less than the minimum subsistence level.

Features of calculating pensions for municipal employees in 2021

First of all, about terminology.
Who are municipal employees? As follows from Article 10 of Law No. 25-F3, a municipal employee is a person who was hired for a vacant full-time position in an institution that has the status of “municipal” and receives monetary remuneration for the performance of his official duties from budgetary funds.

The positions that these workers can occupy are divided into five categories:

• higher;
• main;
• presenters;
• elder;
• juniors.

The right to receive pension benefits for municipal employees is regulated by federal laws No. 166-F3 and No. 25-F3. According to these laws, pensions for civil servants are calculated not according to old age, but according to length of service.

The assignment of a pension to a municipal employee in 2021 is made if the applicant has worked in the municipal service for the minimum calendar period possible for retirement and has reached retirement age.

Changes according to 143-FZ

According to Federal Law No. 143, from January 1, 2017, the conditions and criteria for retirement of officials at the federal and local levels were changed.

Municipal employees whose retirement has not yet taken place are subject to this law in the current and subsequent years.

The following changes have been introduced:

• Increasing the retirement age. The assignment of a municipal pension to a municipal employee will now occur upon reaching:

1. males – 65 years old;
2. females – 63 years old.

However, this will not happen overnight - a gradual increase in the age for the possibility of receiving “state” benefits has been introduced. Every year 6 months will be added. That is, if in 2017 the retirement age was 60 ½ and 55 ½, respectively, then in 2021 it will be 61 and 56. The growth of these figures will end in 2027 for men, in 2032 for women.

• We increased the required period of activity in the structure for the possibility of accruing payments due to officials - from 15 to 20 years. In this case, similar to point 1, the addition will occur gradually, 6 months annually. In 2021, 15 ½ years of experience was required, in the current year - 16 years.
• The age limit up to which it is allowed to work in government agencies has increased - from 60 to 65, and for managerial positions - up to 70 years.

All the changes that have taken place are aimed at improving the quality of work of officials, which is due to the extension of the service life of employees with extensive experience and the transfer of their unique experience to young personnel. It is also expected that thanks to these measures the budget will be saved, which will increase the amount of old-age pensions for other citizens.

Main

The formation of the amount of payments upon retirement for officials at the local and federal levels occurs according to a different scheme than for ordinary citizens.

The following types are possible:

1. A pension awarded for length of service to municipal employees.
2. Old age insurance (on a common basis with citizens of the Russian Federation).
3. Due to disability.

The main part is payments for length of service, which can be applied only if the length of service in the structure of municipal bodies is not less than the established minimum (16 years in 2021, 20 years in 2026). Their size is 45% of the employee’s average monthly salary. The changes established by law did not affect the calculation of these amounts, and in the future they will remain the same. However, in different regions, local authorities may approve a higher percentage.

When assigning a pension, an official can choose a more profitable option. At the same time, if he had experience not related to this structure, an increase in the form of an old-age insurance component will be assigned. The total amount should not exceed 75% of the average monthly salary.

The main part and disability payments cannot be assigned at the same time.

Additional payments, benefits, preferences

An additional payment to the pension of municipal employees may be assigned for:

• the special conditions in which they worked;
• certain positions;
• achievements significant for society, for an academic degree;
• each year of processing relative to the minimum established (16 years in 2021).

The percentage of allowances for the last point remains the same - the amount will increase by 3% of the average monthly salary for a given period (maximum value no more than 75%) (see Table 1).

The list of reasons why an official can resign with the right to assign him a “state” benefit for length of service has been changed:

1. In case of liquidation of an organ.
2. When staffing is reduced.
3. Reaching the maximum age (for the position).
4. Receiving disability.

Privileges:

• free medical care is provided;
• are exempt from real estate taxes;
• compensation for expenses for funeral services.

What types of pensions are entitled to MS?

Employees of local government bodies are subject to three laws regarding the formation of pensions:

• No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001;
• No. 25-FZ dated March 2, 2007;
• No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013.

In accordance with these regulations, employees acquire the right to:

• maintenance based on length of service;
• old age insurance pension;
• additional payments and one-time subsidies.

Important: pensions for municipal employees can be assigned on the basis of regional legislation.
Various subjects of the federation have their own additional, but not in conflict with state, laws. This category of citizens is subject to laws on pensions for civil servants adopted at the level of:

• federations;
• individual regions.

If the established criteria are met, MS may qualify for the following types of benefits:

1. By length of service.
2. Insurance.
3. Preferential, laid down in the regulatory framework.
4. Due to disability.

Attention: employees can apply for benefits assigned in connection with the loss of a breadwinner according to general principles after dismissal from their position.
Funds for the payment of benefits for service are allocated from the local budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Regions are adopting their own legislative acts aimed at regulating pension assignments for MS. Their goal:

• specification of general methods;
• introduction of additional conditions.

Federal Law of December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ, as amended. dated 07/03/2016) “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation”, as amended. and additional, intro. in force from 01/01/2017

Conditions for assigning pensions to local government officials

Employees are required to comply with the same standards for acquiring the right to a pension as ordinary citizens.
However, payments for length of service are subject to additional strict parameters. In general, the list of criteria looks like this:

1. reaching the age limit for participation in the relevant work;
2. Availability:
   insurance experience;
3. pension coefficients;
4. at least 15 years of service experience in local government;
5. reason for dismissal:
   in connection with the liquidation of the power structure;
6. on staff reductions;
7. reaching the age limit established for this position;
8. disability.

Requirements for old age pension:

Requirements for superannuation

For information: the maximum period for holding positions in local government bodies is up to 65 years. However, in some cases it can be increased to 70 years in agreement with higher structures.

Who will not be affected by the changes?

Some officials may receive pensions under the old law.
These include:

1. dismissed from position before 01/01/2017;
2. continuing to work on the specified date and having more than 20 years of service;
3. having 15 or more years of experience who have received the right to pension payments on a general basis:
   according to the age;
4. on disability.

Important: continuity of service is critical for officials. To receive “special” pay, you must have served at least 12 months before the date of dismissal in the same position.

Municipal employee pension

The amount of pension payments consists of the citizen’s actual work experience, average monthly income for the previous year of service, and corresponding allowances (if any).

In addition, you need to collect a sufficient number of individual points (coefficients).

Last year, the government of the Russian Federation carried out a reform regarding the procedure for retiring municipal workers. Thus, starting in 2021, the retirement age was to be increased gradually every year by six months.

The ultimate goal of the reform is to raise the age for a municipal pension to 63 years for female employees and up to 65 years inclusive for men.

The transition period will continue until 2032. The age limit is increased in stages.

Thus, in order to retire, it is necessary to take into account the employee’s length of service and the date of the right to receive the corresponding pension payments. For example, if you were supposed to retire in 2021, you will only have this opportunity a year later.

Required experience

Receiving an additional pension is possible only if you have a certain length of experience in municipal service. As with retirement age, the requirements for it are also growing every year. In 2021, an official must work in the corresponding status for at least 16.5 years.

Reference! If by the time of retirement age a municipal employee does not have sufficient experience, then he has the right to continue to occupy his current position in order to count on payments.

The legislation establishes that by 2026 the requirements for the duration of the special period will increase. The minimum experience will be 20 years.

Exit age

One of the grounds for calculating long-service payments is the assignment of an insurance pension. Until 2021, this age was 55 years (female) and 60 years (male). However, his increase affected, first of all, representatives of the bureaucracy, including locally. Starting from 2021, the age for receiving pension payments is gradually increasing.

In 2021, a municipal official can receive a service pension at 56.5 years (female) and 61.5 years (male).

Insurance pension

Obtaining labor-type pensions for municipal employees does not differ from the generally accepted procedure. By meeting the basic requirements, an official can receive an insurance pension, completing the required municipal experience. The table shows the conditions for the appointment of different types of state support, according to Law No. 400-FZ:

Pension insurance for local government employees is subject to the requirement of Law No. 400-FZ on mandatory indexation. Every year, the amount of payments is equal to the inflation rate for the second quarter of the previous year, so on January 1, 2018, this type of state benefits increased by 3.7%.

Who are municipal employees

This is what local government employees are called. They are not civil servants who work in federal authorities and authorities at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, but have their own status. Their legal status, features of service and conditions for receiving a municipal pension in 2021 are regulated by Law No. 25-FZ of 03/02/2007. A person is a municipal employee if:

• he has an employment contract with a local authority;
• his position is included in the staffing table of the body;
• his remuneration is paid from the municipal budget.

Who is entitled to receive a municipal long service pension?

The right to receive a municipal pension is given to citizens who have entered into a contract for municipal service on a permanent basis. The source of payment of their pensions is the local, and in some cases, the federal budget.

In addition to federal legislation, basic rules can be supplemented at the local level. In particular, the list of municipal positions is approved in each municipality individually.

The list of positions can be classified into groups:

• Local government bodies;
• By election commissions;
• According to functional characteristics.

Legal regulation of the issue

The regulatory framework is represented by federal laws:

• No. 25-FZ dated 03/02/07 “On Municipal Service” - determines the legal status of employees of local authorities;
• No. 166-ФЗ dated December 15, 2001 “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation” - establishes the general principles of pension provision for municipal employees, details the categories of persons applying for a long-service pension;
• No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013 “On insurance pensions” - regulates the appointment of other types of pensions;
• No. 143-FZ dated May 23, 2016 “On amendments to legislative acts regarding increasing the retirement age” - defines a new procedure for acquiring the right of municipal employees to state support for pensioners.

The procedure for registering a municipal pension and the standards for calculating length of service are contained in resolutions of the Ministry of Labor and orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development. Since municipal pensions are financed from local budgets , regions establish their own bills on the rules for calculating payments.

Conditions for assigning a pension

Expert opinion

Lebedev Sergey Fedorovich

Practitioner lawyer with 7 years of experience. Specialization: civil law. Extensive experience in defense in court.

The basic conditions are defined in the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On State Pension Security in the Russian Federation” and, therefore, are the same for all municipal and state civil servants in Russia.

In order to qualify for a long service pension, a citizen must meet the following conditions:

• he has special work experience;
• acquires pension rights in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation;
• dismissed from service for certain reasons.

Types of payments to municipal employees

Municipal employees have the right to receive simultaneously:

• payment for length of service: this opportunity is provided to them by Art. 7 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ as a civil servant (Article 24 25-FZ states that the pension rights of local and civil servants are the same);
• old age insurance payment - according to Art. 19 Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ;
• savings according to Federal Law No. 424-FZ dated December 28, 2013, if the citizen has special pension savings.

Such employees have the right to receive a disability pension if, for medical reasons, they are assigned to one or another group. To obtain it, it is not necessary to have the status of a municipal employee; it is available to any citizen who has insurance experience. The minimum duration of the required insurance period is not established.

The procedure for assigning and calculating pension benefits

Within the framework of current legislation, the following types of municipal pensions :

• by length of service - if the amount of time worked meets regulatory requirements;
• old age insurance benefits - upon reaching the retirement age threshold;
• for disability resulting from occupational injuries and general diseases.

It is legally legal to assign two types of payments at the same time - based on length of service and a certain share based on age.

Old age pension (insurance part)

Until 2021, the all-Russian age limits for entitlement to such a pension were in force for local government employees and civil servants: women – 55 years, men – 60 years. Since January 2021, Law 143-FZ came into force, and the bar has crept upward.

As of January 2021, the age threshold, which had been stable at the previously established deadlines for decades, was legislatively increased. However, the principles of subsidizing and calculating benefits remained the same. The applicant can quit his job and apply for a pension in two directions - by work and age.

Civil servants are now included in the pilot project - an annual increase in the required years is established for them - for men - 65 years , for women - 63 years .

In addition, it is now necessary to have at least 10 years of experience, which as of January 1, 2021, and this figure will increase annually.

Payments due to loss of ability to work

Citizens of the country have every right, in the event of loss of disability and limitation of their physical capabilities, to apply for disability benefits, having previously registered this status with confirmation of group affiliation.

However, when planning to end his career, an official must choose one type of security: based on length of service or disability.

Length of service

Compensatory monthly accruals for length of service are the main type of material support for the overwhelming number of elderly citizens who have retired.

A person has the right to obtain them if he meets the following conditions :

• reaching the retirement age established by Federal legislation for a specific period of time;
• insurance period - at least 10 years in 2021 with the prospect of a systematic increase to 15 by 2025;
• coefficient not lower than 16.2 with an increase to 30 by the same period.

Grounds for termination of an employment contract:

• reorganization of the division;
• staff reductions;
• award of disability;
• reaching the maximum service age;
• own desire to apply for an old-age pension.

Dismissal must be made from a municipal position in which the candidate has worked for at least a year.

How is it calculated?

Let's look at how the salaries of municipal employees are calculated.

Calculation examples

Example #1:

Savelyev M.G. fills the position of a municipal employee and receives:

• official salary – 4352 rubles;
• salary for class rank - 1143 rubles.

How to calculate the basic salary without taking into account additional allowances and bonuses?

Solution:

The monthly salary will be equal to: 4352 + 1143 = 5495 rubles.

What is the difference between piecework and time-based wages? The answer is here.

Example #2:

Mukhin E.N. was sent on a business trip from June 6 to June 8, 2021 at the initiative of the employer’s representative.

How to calculate salary for the period of a business trip if Mukhin receives:

• salary – 5643 rubles;
• for class rank - 1359 rubles;
• for length of service - 10% (564.3 rubles);
• for special conditions – 5643 rubles.

5643 + 1359 + 564.3 + 5643 = 13209.3 rubles – total cash allowance.

According to the production calendar in June 2021:

• 21 workers;
• 9 days off.

Let's make the calculation: 13209.3 / 21 * 3 = 1887 rubles.

Salary indexation

Indexation of the wages of a municipal employee is carried out annually taking into account the level of inflation in accordance with the laws established in the relevant constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

What is required to assign pension payments for length of service?

A citizen is entitled to a long-service pension under the following conditions:

• presence of experience in local service - the length of service itself. Its duration is determined according to the rules from Appendix No. 2 to 166-FZ and depends on the moment of release: the length of service of municipal employees in 2021 will be 17 years;
• the presence of certain grounds for dismissal: agreement of the parties, employee initiative, liquidation of a local government body, or the citizen reaching the age limit for service of 65 years;
• in some cases, for example, if a citizen resigns at his own request or by agreement of the parties, in order to receive payment for length of service he must meet the requirements for receiving an insurance pension: reach retirement age and have the required number of pension coefficients, for 2021 this number is 16.2.

Clause 1.1 of Article 7 166-FZ establishes the conditions under which a citizen receives a long-service pension before grounds for assigning old-age insurance appear, that is, ahead of schedule:

• he has at least 25 years of local service experience;
• he spent at least the last seven of them in local service before his dismissal;
• the citizen resigned on his own initiative.

Changes are planned: the latest news about the municipal pension in 2021 promises that the minimum length of service will increase, by 2026 it will be 20 years and will not increase any further. No other changes are expected, including the indexation of pensions for municipal employees in 2021, but given that government employees at all levels are the first to test upcoming legislative changes, the requirements for receiving payments change periodically.

What documents need to be provided

Applying for a municipal pension involves preparing an application. It is drawn up in free form and in it the citizen, with reference to Law No. 25-FZ, notifies the employer of his right to this type of payment. The application is accompanied by the following package of documentation:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• a copy of the dismissal order;
• work book and other documents confirming specialized work experience and positions held in the municipality;
• certificate of compulsory pension insurance;
• military ID (for those who served);
• a certificate confirming income for the last 12 months;
• document confirming the assignment of an old-age pension.

How to apply for superannuation payments?

A municipal employee can apply for a long-service pension at absolutely any time after becoming eligible for it, if he has already been assigned an old-age labor pension.

The application must be submitted to the personnel service of the territorial body in which the citizen served immediately before dismissal.

The following documents must be provided:

1. passport (you need both the original and a copy of all pages);
2. a certificate of positions and periods of work, which include length of service for the assignment of this type of pension;
3. a copy of the dismissal order;
4. a certificate of the average monthly earnings of a municipal employee for the last full 12 months preceding dismissal (it is also necessary to indicate the amounts by month);
5. certificate of assignment of a labor pension for old age (or disability). It must indicate the federal law on the basis of which this pension was assigned, its amount, the date must be the month of dismissal, and the certificate must also have a number and stamp;
6. work book (copy);
7. other documents that confirm periods of service for the purpose of a pension for long service.

Please note that when preparing copies of documents and certifying them, be sure to include the date of certification. It is necessary to certify each page of the copy being made or, having previously stapled and sealed the copy, on the last page.

After submitting the application, a commission in the territorial body reviews it and makes a decision on assigning a long-service pension to the municipal employee.

This pension is assigned from the day the employee applied for it, but not earlier than the day following dismissal from municipal service and the assignment of an old-age pension.

Where and when to contact

The municipal pension, unlike the insurance pension, is paid from the local budget. To formalize it, a municipal employee must contact the personnel department of the organization where he works, providing the relevant documents.

An official has the right to apply for it at any time after he has this right.

In accordance with current legislation, persons employed in municipal service are entitled not only to an old-age insurance pension, but also to an additional one based on length of service. Only those officials who have been employed in local government bodies for a long time - at least 16.5 years in 2021 - can count on receiving it

Formation of the wage fund

The monthly bonus to the official salary of municipal employees and employees for length of service is established as a percentage of the official salary based on the protocols of the commission for establishing municipal experience for municipal employees of the Urban Settlement Administration in the following amounts:

with municipal service experience from 1 to 5 years - 10%,

with municipal service experience from 5 to 10 years - 15%,

with municipal service experience from 10 to 15 years - 20%,

with more than 15 years of municipal service experience - 30%.

Payment of a bonus to the official salary for length of service is carried out within the limits of the wage fund established by the Administration of the Tarem Village Council.

Bonuses for municipal employees and employees are an element of their material incentives and are awarded based on work results on a monthly basis in the amount of two monthly salaries per year (listed or aggregated).

Bonuses for municipal employees and employees are made for the time actually worked. Time actually worked includes time spent on a business trip, on advanced training courses, or on study leave. For the period of temporary incapacity for work and regular vacation, no bonus is accrued.

The grounds for bonuses are:

exemplary (timely and high-quality) performance of job duties, tasks, orders and instructions of management;

timely and high-quality preparation of documents;

manifestation of professionalism, creativity, use of modern methods and technologies in the process of official activities;

careful, rational use of material, technical and financial means, and other resources;

performing particularly important and complex tasks.

In case of omissions in work, a municipal employee or employee may be deprived of the bonus partially or completely for the month in which the offense was committed by order of the Head of the Tarem Village Council indicating the reasons for deprivation of the bonus.

Employees who have worked an incomplete pay period due to dismissal due to staff reduction, at their own request, transfer to another job, admission to an educational institution in the direction of this organization, retirement, conscription into the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as for other reasons for valid reasons, the bonus is paid for the time actually worked.

This is important to know: When to go on maternity leave 2021

If there are savings in the wage fund, municipal employees and employees can be given additional bonuses, based on the order of the Head of the Tarem Village Council.

Financial assistance is paid based on the order of the Head of the Tarem Village Council or upon the application of a municipal employee or employee.

If a municipal employee or employee has not worked a full calendar year, financial assistance is paid at the rate of three salaries (respectively, salaries or official salaries) in proportion to the time actually worked in the manner established by these Regulations.

In the event of a marriage, birth of a child, death of close relatives (spouses, children, parents), illness, a municipal employee or employee may be provided with financial assistance from savings in the wage fund in accordance with the order of the Head of the Tarem Village Council in the amount of the official salary.

Monetary remuneration for municipal employees serving in connection with anniversaries or length of service in the municipal service is paid in the amount of salary.

Payment of monetary remuneration is carried out within the limits of the wage fund established by the Administration of the Tarem Village Council.

For the successful and conscientious performance of official duties by a municipal employee, employee, long-term and impeccable service, and the completion of tasks of particular importance and complexity, the following types of incentives may be established:

Procedure for paying municipal pensions

The size of the pension payment is formed on the basis of the citizen’s length of service, the individual pension coefficient and the average monthly earnings received before retirement during the calendar year.

In the latter case, not only the employee’s salary is taken into account, but also other payments:

• bonuses for length of service or special working conditions;
• monthly monetary remuneration paid to him;
• bonuses;
• percentage bonuses for work with information related to state secrets.

On average, the pension payment of a municipal employee ranges from 45 to 75% of the monthly income he previously received. Work experience in the relevant position is of no small importance.

For example, if previously it was enough for parliamentarians to work for one year to receive a payment in the amount of 55% of their previous salary, now for this bonus they will have to work in office for at least 5 years.

In the event of an employee’s premature dismissal, the calculation of the amount of pension payments and the procedure for retirement are carried out according to generally accepted rules.

Despite changes in legislation planned in connection with the adoption of the pension reform and already implemented by the government, the benefits provided to employees of municipal services will not be canceled.

To calculate and assign pension payments, you need to contact the MFC or the territorial branch of the Pension Fund.

You will need to have your passport, work book, certificate of salary received for the last year, SNILS. In some cases, other documents are requested (for example, male employees must provide a military ID to the specialist).

Review of the application takes no more than 10 days. The future pensioner independently chooses the method of receiving payments - through Russian Post offices or by transferring money to a card.

Registration procedure

To apply for a pension supplement for municipal employees in 2020, you should contact the regional division of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence of the pensioner. The documents you will need are:

• statement;
• passport.

If there are grounds, for the correct calculation of the insurance pension you will need:

• children's birth certificate;
• Marriage certificate;
• documents confirming the presence of dependents of the applicant.

A citizen has the right to submit documents personally to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, send them by mail, through the MFC, or using the citizen’s personal account on the website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

About the amount of pension assignments

The length of service amounts depend on the following parameters:

• period of service in government structures;
• assignment of ordinary maintenance in old age;
• surcharges and preferences.

The pension payment is calculated as follows:

1. with 15 years of experience - 45% of average monthly earnings, which includes:
   salary;
2. additional payment for the position;
3. bonuses: for length of service;
4. for special conditions;
5. for academic degrees and special achievements;
6. premium;
7. for each year of service over 15, another 3% is added, but not more than 75% in total;
8. payments are calculated minus:
9. pension assigned under civil law (No. 400-FZ);
10. basic part of the insurance benefit.

Attention: some regional authorities are increasing the base rate of accruals for their officials. Thus, in the Moscow region it is set at 55%. Download for viewing and printing: Example
In 2010, the official Ivanenkov A. was assigned insurance coverage based on his age. Its value is 6,500 rubles. (fixed part RUB 3,500). At the same time, in his position he continued to receive an average of 9,500 rubles. (salary 6,500 rubles).

By 2021, his length of service was 25 years.

The MS pension is determined as follows:

1. First, average monthly earnings are calculated. The maximum pension amount is calculated from it:
   it cannot exceed 2.3 salaries: 6,500 rubles. x 2.3 = 14,950 rub.
2. Now let's look at the experience:
   over 15 years - 45%. In the case of 25 years of service, another 10×3% = 30% is added, but not more than 75% in total;
3. Ivanenkov’s benefit amount will be 75% of average monthly earnings: 9,500 rubles. x 75% = 7,125 rub.
4. The restrictions indicate that, in general, pension benefits (two payments) should not exceed 75% of the average monthly salary, that is, 7,125 rubles.
5. We check whether the calculation did not exceed the criterion of 2.3 times the official salary:
   RUB 14,950 x 75% = 11,212.5 rub.
6. Thus, the amount of the length of service pension will be: 7,125 rubles.
7. But previously assigned benefits should be deducted from it:
   RUB 7,125 — 6,500 rub. = 625 rub.
8. This will be an additional payment for length of service.

About surcharges

All retired officials' pensions are increased on the following grounds:

• increasing the earnings of current employees holding relevant positions;
• service beyond the prescribed period.

In certain regions, additional preferences may be established, depending on:

• the amount of earnings in recent months;
• duration of service and others.

Attention: when determining the type of pension, insurance or length of service, officials are given the right to choose the most profitable one.

Minimum and maximum pension amount

Suppose a municipal employee meets the criteria that allow him to count on a long service pension. What size is she?

The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes that the long-service pension is 45% of the average salary of a municipal employee. At the same time, we repeat, for each year worked over 15 years, you are paid in the form of a bonus of 3% of average earnings.

Its maximum size is 75% of the salary level. This means that pension payments are calculated not from the established salary, but from the monetary allowance, which includes official and rank-appropriate salaries, allowances for special conditions of service, monthly incentives and other payments due to a municipal employee.

We also talked about the minimum size above. This type of pension cannot be lower than the minimum wage.

A long-service pension for those persons who left service due to disability is paid in the amount of:

• for groups 1 and 2 - 75% of the monthly allowance;
• for group 3 - 50% of the allowance.

How to calculate your pension?

There is a formula for calculating the amount of pension for long service:

PVL = D x OK x P,

• PVL – the amount of the long-service pension itself;
• D – average monthly salary;
• OK - limiting coefficient;
• P is a percentage expression established depending on the length of service in the municipal service.

The maximum limit is 2.8 times the salary of the corresponding position, and if we are talking about monetary remuneration, then within 0.8 times this amount.

Let's calculate the average monthly income. It is on this basis that the size of the long-service pension is calculated. The law places restrictions on it. It cannot be more than 2.3 times the official salary. For us this amount was 8050 rubles. (RUB 3,500 x 2.3)

The size of a municipal employee's pension is 45% of average monthly earnings if his length of service is at least 15 years and increases by 3% each subsequent year. But this amount should not exceed 75% of average earnings.

We determine the pension coefficient of length of service: 45% is obtained for 15 years, 30% for 10 years after.

We get: 45% + 30% = 75%.

Next, let’s calculate the amount of the long-service pension: RP = 7500 x 75% = 5625 rubles.

Since this pension is assigned in addition to the labor pension, it is limited. The total amount of two pensions cannot exceed 75% of the average monthly earnings of a municipal employee.

In this example, 75% of the average monthly earnings, on the basis of which the size of this pension is determined, is

8050 x 75% = 6037 rub.

The amount of the state pension for long service that we calculated (5,625 rubles) does not exceed 2.3 of the official salary (6,037 rubles), on the basis of which the amount of this pension was calculated.

A municipal employee was assigned a long-service pension in the amount of 5,625 rubles.

From the long-service pension (RUB 5,625), we subtract the amount of the labor pension (RUB 5,000). The remainder will be the amount of additional payment that is due to a municipal employee for his years of service.

In our example, this difference is 625 rubles. This is exactly the amount that a municipal employee will receive as an additional payment to the basic labor pension.

If there is an indexation of pensions, both for old age and for long service, then this is also taken into account. Thus, with an increase in the old-age pension, the amount of additional payment for length of service may decrease.

Rules for calculating the size of pensions for municipal employees

Calculations to understand what the long-service pension for municipal employees will be, lead us to a figure equal to 45% of the average monthly salary, excluding various types of social benefits and other additional payments. The specific amount of payments is established by the relevant local law.

At the same time, the amount of pension payments of a municipal employee cannot be higher than the amount of monthly monetary compensation of a state civil servant of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

For each year of work more than the required norm, payments will increase by 3% up to an upper limit of increase of 75% of the average salary of a civil servant, which is calculated based on the average income for the last year of service. But these figures may vary from region to region.

The total amount of the final pension to the fixed part of the municipalities includes:

1. allowances for professional duties;
2. percentage of salary;
3. allowances for the percentage of annual indexation;
4. storage part.

When calculating payments, the official salary corresponding to a certain class rank is taken into account. For each specific subject of the Russian Federation, the calculation procedure may be different. The local board of each subject itself develops a system for calculating pension payments.

How to calculate what payment is due to local employees

How the municipal pension is calculated in 2021 is determined by Art. 14 166-FZ, which states that the basic amount is 45% of the average salary that a citizen had. For each additional year of service beyond what is required, the pensioner is entitled to an increase of 3% of the salary. Regardless of the length of service, such an additional payment to the municipal pension from 2021 will not exceed 75% of the salary.

The amount of the accrued pension is increased through indexation or the appointment of certain allowances. Payments are indexed in the manner established by the regulations of a particular local entity and represent the application of a certain increasing factor to the pension amount.

What does the law say?

The main document regulating the work of municipal employees is 25-FZ. Article 22 contains all the necessary requirements.

In addition, according to Article 3 of this Federal Law, wages are regulated by:

• the Constitution;
• Laws of the Russian Federation;
• regulatory documents of a specific region;
• Charters of municipalities;
• Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

General principles:

• Clause 1 of Article 22 of Federal Law No. 25 describes the salary structure of municipal employees.
• Paragraph 2 of Article 22 of Federal Law No. 25 establishes the amount and conditions of cash payments to municipal employees.

Is it necessary to include it in the Remuneration Regulations?

According to paragraph 2 of Article 22 of Federal Law No. 25, municipalities independently establish the amount of wages and working conditions in municipal acts.

The regulation on remuneration is a local act operating within one structure.

Thus, the consolidation of the basic principles and nuances specifically in the Regulations on the remuneration of municipal employees is not excluded.

An example of such a document:

Changes to long-service pensions for civil servants

Employees of government agencies begin to receive pension payments when they reach retirement age and complete their mandatory service. The conditions for granting pensions for civil servants are regulated by federal law.

Who falls under the category of civil servants

Civil servants include Russians who work in government agencies and receive money from budget funds for this. It should be noted that not every employee of a government agency is considered a civil servant.

These are only those who have been endowed with the functions of power, command, and management. The list of persons classified as civil servants is contained in the Federal Law dated June 27, 2004, number 79.

Benefits for civil servants for medical care

Current legislation guarantees the right of a civil servant and his family members to health insurance, including after the civil servant retires for long service. At the same time, retired civil servants are guaranteed the right to receive exactly the same medical and sanatorium-resort services that they enjoyed while holding the status of civil servants.

Medical insurance for civil servants is carried out in accordance with Federal Law N 326-FZ “On Compulsory Medical Insurance in the Russian Federation”, according to which insured persons have the right to:
