Payments at the employment center during layoffs: types and terms


When do you need to register with the employment center?

To receive unemployment benefits, you must contact the employment center.
This must be done as soon as possible after the employee has been laid off. The law sets a maximum period of 14 days. The countdown begins the day after the official dismissal. Upon dismissal due to staff reduction or liquidation of the enterprise, the employer is obliged to pay his former employee an amount equal to two average monthly wages. If two weeks after the employee was laid off, he does not find a new job, then he is entitled to another payment in the amount of 1 average monthly salary.

However, a payment in the amount of 1 average monthly salary is due only if a person provides his former employer with a certificate stating that he is registered with the employment center.

When applying for help to receive payments, a person should not wonder which employment center to contact when making redundancies. Any branch is suitable for this, but in some cities it is desirable that the applicant apply to the one that relates to his registration.

In addition to paying benefits and providing a large bank of vacancies, employees of the employment center can send a citizen for retraining, which is paid for by the state. This is necessary so that a person can consider vacancies from a wider range. Courses from the employment center are constantly changing depending on the demand for certain positions.

Bankrupt entrepreneurs also have the right to count on help from Central Bank employees. When drawing up a new business plan, any person can receive a grant in the amount of 300,000 rubles, which will be used to develop a new business of their own. And in order to correct previous mistakes, the applicant can enroll in courses for individual entrepreneurs.

Having been laid off due to staff reduction, having received a paycheck and all the required documents, a citizen can join the labor exchange and receive unemployment benefits or look for work on his own. Art. 178 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation obliges the employer to maintain the average monthly salary for a laid-off employee for the next two months (including severance pay), if he has not found a new job (we talked about what other rights a person who has been reduced in the number of employees or staff has) here).

Provided that the laid-off person registered on the stock exchange within two weeks after dismissal, but was never employed, the employment service may oblige the employer to pay for the third month of job search by the former employee. Therefore, it is not necessary to join the stock exchange during a layoff, but it is advisable, since this will give you the right to financial support from the employer, and then from the state.

Allowance and average monthly earnings: what is the difference

Part 1 art. 178 in conjunction with Part 4 of Art. 84.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the deadline for the payment of severance pay - the last working day of the dismissed (redundant) employee.

With the help of this payment, the loss of a job is compensated, but a former employee who has not found a job has the right to continue to get it - in the second, and in exceptional cases - in the third month after leaving. Only payments to an unemployed former employee will be called not benefits, but average monthly earnings for the period of employment (hereinafter referred to as SMZ). The purpose of such payments is to support the citizen during the period of absence of a source of income (work).

So, severance pay is an amount equal to or greater than the average monthly salary, paid one-time upon dismissal. And the SMZ is transferred in the future, upon appropriate request from the employee, if he was unable to find a job a month after dismissal.

The size of the SMZ is clear from its name, and within what time frame it is paid, read on.

What is required to receive benefits?

In order to qualify for temporary unemployment benefits, it is not enough to know what documents are needed at the employment center. It is also necessary to ensure that certain conditions are met:

  • Providing the center employee with a salary certificate for the last three months. It is on this basis that the size of the payment will be determined.
  • To receive benefits, an employee must work at the company for at least 26 full weeks, about six months. This is verified using an extract from the work record book.
  • The dismissal of an employee must take place precisely because of a reduction, and in no case because of a violation of labor discipline.
  • If a person has been sent to courses from the employment center, then they must be completed in order to receive benefits.

If registration with the employment center was successful, and the person violated one of the listed conditions, then the amount of the benefit is automatically reduced to the minimum amount - 45% of the average salary.

Unemployment benefits in 2021 can be received by able-bodied Russians over 16 years of age. A citizen applying for financial support must not:

  • work officially (including temporary, part-time, etc. employment);
  • be a pensioner;
  • study full-time at a university;
  • be an individual entrepreneur;
  • perform work under civil contracts;
  • belong to a peasant/farm;
  • be a founder/member of a commercial organization;
  • belong to the category of workers with private practice (lawyers, notaries, etc.) and self-employed.

Once registered, the citizen will receive unemployment payments. Once every two weeks he will receive directions from the vacancy database of the Central Employment Center. The unemployed must meet with their employers. As a result of the interview:

  • If the candidate is suitable and the applicant applies for a job, then the transfer of money stops.
  • If he does not meet the requirements, the employer makes a note about this on the referral sheet. The provision of benefits continues.

How to register after being laid off

You can contact the labor exchange immediately upon dismissal and register. To do this, you will need to provide some documents.

Among them:

  • An application filled out according to the sample;
  • Passport, TIN, SNILS (original and copies);
  • Work book in hand;
  • Certificates of education;
  • Certificate of income from previous place of work.

The above-mentioned documents are needed in order to create an optimal individual program of training courses for advanced training or change of qualifications, select a list of vacancies in the region in accordance with experience and competencies, and also calculate the amount of monthly financial assistance.

In addition to all of the above, you may need:

  • Card number for benefit transfer;
  • Insurance certificate;
  • Certificate of good conduct.

Previously convicted citizens, persons with open individual businesses, as well as pensioners and others who receive state financial assistance from the pension fund cannot apply for benefits from the labor exchange.

What is the amount of unemployment benefits?

It is worth noting that payments at the employment center during layoffs are strictly regulated by current legislation, as is their size. In the Russian Federation, the minimum and maximum benefit amounts are established:

  • minimum - 850 rubles;
  • maximum - 4900 rubles.

The size varies depending on the region where a person lives. For example, in the regions of the Far North this amount is slightly higher due to special premiums for unfavorable climatic conditions.

In addition, other coefficients are applied to the minimum and maximum benefit amounts, for example, the Ural coefficient of 15%. Also, an additional bonus is received by citizens who were exposed to radioactive radiation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Mayak association, and also when dumping waste into the Techa River.

So, what affects the employment center benefit during redundancy? In what amount and how long will it be transferred to the person?

  1. The size and timing of payments is influenced by the labor guard.
  2. Also, the amount of the benefit depends on the conditions in which the person previously worked.

Most often, the amount that a person will receive depends on his previous salary, however, as elsewhere, there are some exceptions, namely:

  • the amount will be less if the person worked at the company for less than 1 year before being laid off;
  • a small amount of benefits will be transferred to the employee who has repeatedly violated labor discipline.

Depending on the decision of the employment center employees, the amount may even be equal to the minimum amount established by the state.

The specific amount of unemployment benefits for a laid-off worker depends on his length of service and the level of income indicated in the employer’s certificate. If an employee who was hired less than a year earlier was laid off, he will receive less than the old-timer of the enterprise.

At the same time, the Law “On Employment...” determines a gradual reduction in payments with the time spent on the stock exchange. The first three months of receiving payments from the exchange (not to be confused with the first three months after dismissal, which are paid by the former employer), the benefit can be 75% of the average salary, the next four months - 60%, the next up to a year - 45%. But not higher than the maximum benefit amount established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

For 2021, according to resolution No. 1423 of November 24. 2021, the minimum unemployment benefit is 850 rubles, the maximum is 4900 rubles. Where regional coefficients are applied, for example, in the Far North, the benefit is increased by the corresponding coefficient.

Regardless of the reasons for dismissal and other personal factors, the amount of payments will fluctuate within the limits specified by the government, and no matter how much the old salary is higher than the established upper limit, the laid-off worker will not be able to claim an amount of more than 4,900 rubles.

The maximum period for receiving benefits from the state is 24 months over three years. After the first year of job searching, the benefit amount becomes minimal.

Dismissal due to a reduction in the number or staff of employees is considered one of the most favorable conditions for terminating an employment contract for an employee, and the least profitable option for enterprises. The imbalance of interests of the parties often leads to attempts at manipulation by the administration.

For example, forcing staff to resign at their own request in order not to bear subsequent social obligations during layoffs. At the same time, judicial practice shows that even formal violations by the employer of the reduction procedure can lead to increased costs in the courts, reinstatement of wrongfully dismissed employees and fines.

The amount of unemployment benefits is determined by law. Since 2019, the minimum and maximum payments have been increased. When calculating the amount, the following are taken into account:

  • Salary at previous job. To calculate the amount of compensation, the average earnings for the last 3 months are taken. If the registered person has not previously been employed, then he is paid the established minimum.
  • Period of registration with the Employment Center. Over time, the amount of compensation decreases first to 75%, then to 60%. You can officially be listed as unemployed for up to 6 months.
  • Reasons for dismissal. For example, for persons who have been laid off, there is a special procedure for registration.

An unemployed person has the right to refuse a vacancy offered by the Employment Center if he is not satisfied with the payment, place of work, schedule, etc. He can do this no more than 2 times during registration. The third visit is mandatory: in case of refusal, the citizen will be deregistered and deprived of benefits.

Payments at the employment center during layoffs: types and terms

The capital's unemployed receive an increase of 1,500 rubles to the amount of federal payments. For those registered with the Moscow City Tax Center in 2019, the benefit amount is:

  • Minimum amount – 3,000 rubles;
  • The maximum amount for the general case is RUB 9,500;
  • The upper limit for persons of pre-retirement age is 12,760 rubles.

How is employer benefit calculated?

Since citizens who have been laid off initially need to receive financial assistance from their employer, it is necessary to know all the nuances of this procedure.

As a rule, employers immediately transfer to the former employee the entire amount of material compensation, including compensation upon dismissal and payments for two months of unemployment. Then, if the employment center was unable to find an appropriate vacancy for the citizen, the employer is obliged to pay benefits for another month.

According to Article 178 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the amount of severance pay is calculated from the average monthly earnings. According to Article 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the calculation should be carried out according to the following formula: for the last twelve calendar months of the employee’s work, the entire salary actually transferred to him is added up, including remunerations and incentives, then the total amount is divided by 12, and the resulting number is subject to payment for one month of benefits.

You also need to know that the law gives the organization’s management the authority to reduce personnel based on their own considerations when selecting employees for dismissal. It is impossible to challenge this decision in court or in any other manner, except in cases provided for by internal instructions, charters and terms of the contract.

How to apply for compensation for a dismissed employee

The dismissal procedure due to staff reduction is carried out with the mandatory fulfillment of a number of requirements. These include:

  1. At least two months in advance, an order, signed by the manager, is published on the necessary reduction of staff, indicating the reason for this decision.
  2. A list of positions in which the number of employees will be reduced is being compiled.
  3. A list of specific persons who will be dismissed is compiled, indicating their names and all official data.
  4. All employees subject to the personnel reduction order are notified personally in writing of the decision made by management. In the corresponding journal, register or copy of the document handed to the employee, the signature of the person who was notified is affixed. If the latter refuses to put the required mark, an act of refusal to sign is drawn up; it must be endorsed by two witnesses present at the moment when the employee expressed his unwillingness to sign the notice.
  5. Offer to persons subject to dismissal, within a period of at least two months, other vacant positions at the enterprise corresponding to their specialty, rank, experience, qualifications and other merits, if any.
  6. Warn the employment service and trade union about the mass layoff of workers.
  7. On the last day of work, make all payments for compensation due to the employee at the time of dismissal. If the employee was absent on that day, according to Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the entire amount must be transferred the next day after the request for payment is made.

In addition, you need to know that the amount of benefits from the employer for the first month of unemployment is also paid on the day of dismissal. If the former employee is able to find a new job in a shorter period of time, the amount of money will not be returned.

It is because of this provision in the law that many citizens mistakenly believe that they are entitled to four payments. Since already for the second month, benefits can be transferred by the former employer 60 days from the date of dismissal. At the same time, the documents required to receive funds are a free-form application and the original work book without notes on new employment (at the moment this document is being phased out). This is considered confirmation that the citizen’s unemployment has still not been overcome.

But, as noted earlier, many employers immediately transfer amounts for two months, since the legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for strict control over the veracity of the information provided. Moreover, the transition to a unified electronic form of maintaining work history with employers’ access to this database has not yet been carried out.

Thus, if a person presents a work book without a note about acceptance of work, even if he is already employed, the enterprise will be obliged to pay the required monetary assistance. And only for the third month the benefit is paid on the basis of a certificate provided from the employment center, indicating that the person is registered and still has not received a new job.

Required certificates and documents for the registration procedure

When contacting the employment center, you will definitely need a standard package of papers to process redundancy payments. That is why you need to know what documents are needed at the employment center before arriving at the institution in order to start collecting the necessary package in advance:

  • passport;
  • employment history;
  • a copy of the education document (diploma, certificate);
  • documents on advanced training (if any);
  • TIN certificate;
  • SNILS;
  • certificate from work about wages for the last 3 months.

In addition to the education document, all documents must be submitted in original form.

Also, in order to receive benefits upon dismissal due to reduction, you must open a special account with Sberbank. This is where the funds will be transferred.

It is worth noting that a certificate of the last three months' earnings must be of a special established form. Form 2-NDFL is not suitable.

In order for registration with the employment center to proceed quickly, it is important to provide a complete package of documents of the proper type. Problems among the population most often arise when providing income certificates. It is worth noting that errors in filling out occur due to illiteracy or inattention of accounting employees.

So, what should you pay attention to when receiving such a certificate from an accountant, so as not to go to get it twice?

  1. The document must contain a corner stamp. It should contain all the information about the organization: TIN, legal address.
  2. The periods for which this certificate is given must be spelled out correctly. It does not matter at all how many years the employee has worked in the organization. Employment center employees do not pay attention to this. Unemployment payments will not be made if the deadlines were specified incorrectly.
  3. Also, the certificate must have two signatures. One is the chief accountant, and the second is the general director. If a person was an employee of a small organization in which the director combines the position of chief accountant, then the signature is still put twice, and the position of chief accountant should be preceded by Fr.

In what cases are unemployment payments awarded?

Persons who have lost their jobs as a result of layoffs begin to receive payments from the state not from the moment of registration, but after the sums issued as severance pay from the former employer cease to be received.

The procedure for settlements with employees in case of staff reduction is regulated by Article 3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation dated December 30, 2001 N 197-FZ (as amended on December 31, 2017). The size of unemployment payments during layoffs depends on many factors, but they are available to all citizens who apply for support. The receipt of public funds is temporary. They are needed not only to support the population during periods of unemployment, but also to stimulate the search for a new place.

Maximum and minimum unemployment benefits

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, total payments at the employment center in case of layoffs cannot be provided for more than 12 months, except in exceptional cases. Transfers will be made monthly, but only if the citizen comes to appointments without a pass and on time, and does not refuse scheduled interviews.

It is worth noting that if a person, for good reasons, was unable to find a suitable place of work within a full year, then he must go through the re-registration procedure at the employment center. Re-registration gives the citizen the right to continue to look for a new job and receive redundancy payments for another 12 months.

Current legislation does not oblige the state to pay cash assistance in full amount of the average salary received at the enterprise.

Firstly, according to paragraph 2 of Article 33 of Federal Law No. 36, the maximum and minimum threshold of financial support received is established every year by decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.

So, in 2021, all benefits paid at state expense amounted to 850-4900 rubles per month. In some cases, for example, for residents of the Far North, the amount is multiplied by a regional, in this case “northern”, coefficient.

In addition, additional monetary increases to the benefit are provided for by law for participants in the liquidation of the Chernobyl disaster, persons who collected radioactive waste on the Techa River and victims of the Mayak association.

Secondly, paragraph 1 of Article 33 of the same law provides for the following formula for calculating benefits:

  • for a period of 1 to 3 months of unemployment, cash assistance is paid in the amount of 75% of the average salary that the person received at the previous place of work;
  • for a period of 4 to 7 months of absence from work, a benefit is paid in the amount of 60% of the average salary;
  • for the next 8-12 months - in the amount of 45% of the FFP.

Attention! When calculating social material assistance from the state, the SWP is calculated not for 12, but for the last 3 working months.

Thirdly, the period for issuing benefits is 12 months from the moment when payments at the expense of the employer were terminated, but the total period of unemployment cannot exceed 18 months.

In the future, if a citizen still remains unemployed, he has the right to apply to receive social monetary support again, which also lasts 12 months, not exceeding a total period of 18 months. But now all payments will be made based on the minimum benefit amount multiplied by the regional coefficient.

The 2021 increase affected both the upper and lower levels of payments. The minimum unemployment benefit in Russia was 1,500 rubles. He is appointed:

  • Dismissed for violation of discipline.
  • Applicants without work experience.
  • Officially unemployed for over a year.

After the increase, from January 2021, the upper limit of unemployment accruals amounted to 8,000 rubles (except for persons of pre-retirement age). For example, an employee with a previous salary of 120,000 rubles who quit of his own free will is entitled to 75% of the rate in the first months of accounting. But 90,000 rub. more than the established maximum, so only 8,000 rubles will be credited.

What determines the amount of payments?

According to Art. 33 of the Employment Law, the following amounts of unemployment benefits have been approved today:

  • 1-3 months – 75% of the average salary (hereinafter referred to as AWP);
  • 4-7 months – 60% of the FFP;
  • 8-12 months – 45% of the FFP.

This article provides for the following: the higher the average salary, the greater the amount of benefits paid. Payments depend on the following indicators:


  1. experience;

  2. work experience for the last year;
  3. Are there any records in the work book about dismissals under the article, etc.

The minimum benefit payment cannot be lower than 850 rubles, while the maximum payment is 4900 rubles.

The amount of payments is updated annually by the Government of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that the amount of the benefit, including bonuses and regional coefficients, will not exceed the amount established by law.

If a citizen gets a job within a year, he needs to notify the SZN employee about the employment and hand over a copy of the official employment agreement, certified by seal and signature, in a manner convenient for both parties.

From this moment on, he is removed from the register and the payment of unemployment benefits stops.

How much do they pay at the labor exchange in 2019?

At the end of 2021, new amendments to the Law of the Russian Federation No. 1032-1 “On Employment” dated April 19, 1991 were adopted. They came into force in 2021. The changes affected the conditions for the appointment and terms of payment of unemployment benefits.

Upon dismissal at the initiative of the employer, the employee has the right to severance pay in the amount of two months' salary. If a citizen registers no later than 2 weeks from the date of closure of the contract, then by law he can qualify for payment of another salary. After these amounts are accrued, he will receive benefits.

Time spent registered with the Employment Center, months Amount of benefit, % of average earnings
1-3 75%
4-6 60%

Citizens over 50 years old find it difficult to find work. Pre-retirement age is a 5-year interval before receiving the right to retire (for 2021 this is from 50.5 years for women and from 55.5 for men). The maximum unemployment benefit for this category of those registered is higher, it is 11,260 rubles. The upper limit of payments is set taking into account the federal subsistence level and the minimum wage (minimum wage).

Termination of benefit payment

The employment service agency, which is obliged to notify about it, can terminate, suspend payment, or reduce the amount of unemployment benefits. Learn more about ending unemployment benefits.

The procedure for paying unemployment benefits may change? In connection with the pension reform and the introduction of a new concept of “pre-retirement” into labor legislation, for those who lost their jobs 5 years before retirement, the maximum unemployment benefit from January 2021 is 12,000 rubles. - on average, which is equal to the increased minimum wage and the subsistence “minimum wage”.

Reasons for refusal or suspension

If an unemployed person has violated the accounting rules in the Employment Employment Center, sanctions are applied to him:

  • Removal from the register.
  • Suspension of benefits for up to 3 months.
  • Reducing the amount of payments.

Grounds for deregistration or refusal to pay benefits:

  • Attempting to register fraudulently (for example, if you have a job). Such an offense is considered an attempt at illegal enrichment. Punishment - return to the state of illegally received funds, a fine of up to 5,000 rubles. or judicial review of the case.
  • Failure to appear at the Center without a valid reason for more than a month. Every two weeks, an unemployed citizen must come to a Center specialist to report on the results of interviews and obtain new vacancies. For absence without a valid reason, payments are suspended for 3 months. Repeated failure to appear will result in deregistration. If the visit was prevented by illness, it is necessary to notify the manager at the central health center, and after recovery, provide sick leave.
  • Changing of the living place. When moving outside the municipality, a citizen can arrange payments in a new place. When moving within the same city/district, it is not deregistered.
  • Registration of any type of pension for the unemployed.
  • Referral for retraining. The Labor Exchange offers state retraining services taking into account market demand for specialists. According to the law, it is considered that the workplace After completing the courses, he must look for work on his own.
  • Death of a person registered as unemployed.

Cases when the issuance of benefits is suspended:

  • The pregnant woman begins to receive maternity leave benefits. After the birth of the child and the end of the period of caring for him, the transfer of money to the woman will be resumed. Read more about payments to unemployed pregnant women.
  • Traveling to another region for distance learning in educational institutions.
  • Conscription of a citizen who is registered in the Central Military Commission for military training.

In what situations are deadlines extended?

In accordance with Article 35 of the Federal Law “On Employment,” unemployment benefits are not paid:

  • during maternity leave and pregnancy;
  • in the event of an unemployed person leaving the city due to obtaining education, advanced training, or undergoing professional retraining;
  • during military service.

After the end of these periods, the unemployed can extend the period for receiving payments.

Also, now, due to the pandemic, all benefits and social payments have been extended for six months (V. Putin spoke about this on March 25 in his address to Russians).

Payment terms

The laid-off employee must contact the employment center at the place of registration within 14 days after the date of layoff. Only under this condition, if he does not find a job in the next three months, will he receive another payment from the organization.

If an employee decides to join the labor exchange later than the established period, he will receive regular assistance from the state as an unemployed person, but he will not receive anything from his former employer.

In order for a citizen to be recognized as unemployed, he must provide a certain list of documents. The future amount of payments will depend on them.

The list of required documentation includes the following papers:

  • passport and copies of its pages;
  • employment history;
  • educational documents;
  • salary certificate for the last three months;
  • checking account.

You will also need a pension insurance certificate. If the employee is a pensioner, you must also provide a pension certificate; if you are disabled, then you will be provided with a disability rehabilitation card.

Those laid off will be considered unemployed only after 10 days from the date of the last payment from the organization. In the event that employees quit early, that is, before the layoff, they are recognized as unemployed in the same manner as those laid off according to the schedule.

The amount of payments depends entirely on the employee’s salary, namely on the average wage for one day.

Each compensation for dismissal for 2 or 3 months will be equal to one average monthly salary. Upon dismissal of those who were hired for seasonal work or worked for less than 2 months, only half of the monthly salary will be paid from the company.

In this case, payment of compensation is carried out only when the manager from the former place of work is provided with a certificate stating that the laid-off employee was never employed. The employee’s work record book will also serve as proof.

Unemployment benefits for layoffs for three months are paid in the amount of at least 75% of average monthly earnings, but not more than the established maximum, that is, no more than 4,900 rubles. The benefit is then reduced to 60% over the next four months. After 7 months, the benefit amount will be reduced; the unemployed will receive 45% of the average salary, but not less than 850 rubles.

It is worth considering that at the labor exchange you must follow some rules. For example, throughout the entire period, the unemployed person will be offered the most suitable vacancies; in case of refusal of three, deregistration from the unemployment register will follow and payments will be stopped.

If a citizen does not come for re-registration, which is carried out once every two weeks, then in the absence of a valid reason, the payment of benefits is suspended for a month. The state established this procedure in order to prevent fraud, for example, when a person receives unemployment benefits, and in addition, works at an enterprise.

CZN is an organization that will not only help you find a position that matches the experience and qualifications of the laid-off person, but will also provide some support while the unemployed person is looking for work, including information work. For example, he will send you to advanced training courses or retraining. The main thing is to correctly comply with the application deadlines and provide the necessary documents. In the future, you only need to follow simple rules.

If an enterprise makes a decision to reduce the number or staff of employees, then how to notify the employment service about this is indicated in Part 2 of Art. 25 of Law No. 1032-1: management is obliged to send a written notice to the Central Employment Center no later than two months before the actual dismissal of employees. In case of preparation of mass layoffs – three months in advance.

Unemployment benefit as a percentage of salary and in a fixed amount

The law does not provide quantitative criteria for mass participation. In a number of industries and regions, calculation formulas are written down in the Industry Agreement or agreements between regional authorities and trade union organizations and employers. If there are none, then it is recommended to build on the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 99 of 02/05/1993:

  • 50 people or more within a month;
  • over 200 in two months;
  • more than 500 in three months;
  • from 1% of employees per month in regions where the population is less than 5 thousand people.

Failure to inform the employment service or failure to comply with established deadlines falls under Art. 19.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and entails a fine of up to 5 thousand rubles for an enterprise and up to 500 rubles for officials. At the same time, violation of this particular procedure does not affect the legality of the reduction itself, and if everything else is done in accordance with the law, it does not entail the employee’s reinstatement at work.

Important! For individual entrepreneurs, the period for notifying the labor exchange has been reduced to two weeks before the actual termination of the employment relationship with the employee.

According to new legislative changes that came into force on January 1, 2019, payment at the labor exchange continues until one of the situations occurs:

  • The end of the maximum period of registration. In general cases, the duration of receiving payments is no more than 6 months during the year (for persons without the required length of service, the conditions are different). If a job is not found during this time, the citizen is removed from the register. He can re-submit documents to the Center for Insurance and apply for compensation next year.
  • Official employment. Having applied for a job independently or with the help of a referral from the Employment Employment Center, the citizen is obliged to give the specialist of the Employment Center a bypass sheet approving the candidacy or a certificate from the HR department of the enterprise.

The period for calculating benefits depends on the length of service of the unemployed. The following can register for up to 6 months:

  • Citizens who worked for at least six months full-time in their last position. It is important to contact the Employment Center no later than one year after dismissal.
  • Those who have completed conscription service and have a total work experience of at least six months.

For no more than 3 months, citizens who:

  • They have no work experience.
  • Haven't worked officially for more than a year.
  • They were fired for violations under the relevant article of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
  • They quit their job no earlier than a year before applying, but they had less than 6 months of experience in their last job.
  • We received a referral from the Central Education Center for courses, but were expelled due to our own fault (for missing classes, etc.).

How to calculate severance pay and reflect its payment in accounting

So, the minimum amount of severance pay is the average monthly salary, which is calculated as follows (see the regulation approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2007 No. 922):

  1. All salaries, bonuses and other income that were paid by this employer in the 12 months before the month of dismissal are summed up.
  2. The resulting amount is divided by the days worked in the billing period, resulting in the average daily earnings (ADE).
  3. SDZ is multiplied by the number of paid days. Not all days in the month following dismissal are paid, but only working days.

In accounting, the payment of benefits is reflected in the following entries:

  • Dt 20 (26, 44...) Kt 70 - benefits accrued.
  • Dt 20 (26, 44...) Kt 69.1, 69.2, 69.3 - insurance premiums were charged for the amount of benefits that exceeded the limit.
  • Dt 70 Kt 51 - payment of benefits to the employee.

IMPORTANT! If an employee was dismissed due to layoffs and reinstated by a court decision, the severance pay is not returned to the employer, but is counted as compensation for forced absence (Article 1109 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, clause 62 of the Russian Federation PPVS dated March 17, 2004 No. 2).

What's next?

The city employment center assists those wishing to find a job, taking into account their level of education, previous experience and salary.

A person who is registered must come to an appointment with a specialist at the center twice a month. During the appointment, he may receive a special referral to a potential new job. If the person on the register ignores this direction, then the employees have the right to reduce the amount of benefits paid to him. However, if a citizen came for an interview, but the prospective employer himself refused the applicant, then this rule does not apply to him.

Also, when a person is registered with the central bank and receives redundancy payments, he cannot have any other income. If he officially starts receiving other money, payments will automatically stop.

Termination of benefit accrual

Payment of benefits is mandatory support for everyone who, for any reason, lost their job, had a long break in official work, did not have official employment and is looking for their first job.

The amount of the benefit is set individually, but the rules, by violating which you can lose payments, are common to everyone.

Payments may be stopped due to:

  1. The end of the benefit accrual period;
  2. Systematic absences from consultations, which are held twice a month, and failure to confirm unemployed status;
  3. Detection of fraud or abuse of trust by labor exchange employees. This may include combining unofficial work or receiving pension payments with receiving benefits, presenting false documents, etc.
  4. Entering official work;
  5. Retirement;
  6. Taking sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth;
  7. Deviations of more than three vacancies selected by the labor exchange over an annual period.

To avoid termination of accrual of payments, do not violate the rules of registration at the labor exchange.

Calculation of severance pay

If the dismissal occurs due to staff reduction, the employer must not only notify employees in advance, but also pay them certain amounts. The money arrives in three stages.

The first payment is the usual redundancy payments, including the last salary, compensation for vacation that was not taken, as well as the first redundancy payment.

The second tranche also comes from the employer’s accounts, after the employee applied to the labor exchange. By providing a certificate from the employment center, the dismissed person receives another amount equal to his salary. An exception is if the employee managed to find a new job. Therefore, together with a certificate from the central office, he demonstrates the employment record, where there is no new appointment record.

If registration with the central office was completed within the established time frame, a new vacancy was not found, then, having secured a document from an exchange employee, taking a labor record, where there is no entry from the new employer, the laid-off employee receives another payment.

In practice, the calculation looks like this:

for example, the dismissal occurred in August. The employee receives a salary of 30,000 rubles, vacation pay for 40 days of 28,000 rubles and a benefit, which is calculated by multiplying the average daily earnings by the number of working days in a month. In August, if the salary per day was 750 rubles, the benefit will be 750 * 31 = 23,250 rubles.

If all conditions are met, the former employee will receive a second payment in September. Its size will be 750*30=22,500 rubles.

The third and final payment to be made by the former employer will occur in October. The amount will be 750*31=23,250 rubles.

After this, settlements between the laid-off employee and the employer are completed.
