For employees with medical education, it is very important to have a continuous work experience by profession. This concept includes the time period during which doctors work in the field of providing medical services to the public, while pauses in work should happen only in the event of the next annual leave. So, we will consider what the medical experience is and in what cases it is interrupted.
The concept of "medical experience"
After obtaining a specialized education in a special educational institution, in this context we are talking about universities and colleges that teach medicine, doctors of various categories begin to work in hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other healthcare organizations. From this period begins the countdown of seniority. It is required so that by the time they reach a well-deserved rest, medical personnel (and not only) have additional allowances, benefits, and a decent pension.
On the basis of the duration of continuous development, employees are counted for years of service, for this additional rewards for pension provision are also relied on.
What gives medical experience to an employee
Due to changes in legislation, employees today accumulate not the amount of a certain length of service in a medical institution, but its insurance part. This means that on the basis of the amount of contributions made to the Pension Fund by the employer every month, coefficients are accumulated that will play a crucial role in calculating the pension payment.
For medical workers, the law establishes a grace period for retirement, which means that the total period of activity providing the right to retirement is reduced.
What is included in the concept of medical experience
Before proceeding to how long the medical experience is interrupted, it is necessary to understand what this concept includes. The development of years in medicine includes the duration of labor activity, starting from the first working day in a medical institution and ending with the onset of a period when a person has worked in this area for 25-30 years. The number of years worked has legal force, since on the basis of these data the calculation of pension payments by age / disability and many other social allowances paid by the state are carried out.
The preferential period of retirement is available only to medical professionals of certain qualifications:
- Nurses.
- Midwives.
- Laboratory assistants.
- Doctors of all directions.
- Forensic experts.
The grace period for doctors begins after 25 years of working in the village and 30 years in the city.
Whether residency and internship are part of the development of years
Internship does not count medical experience. In accordance with the law, internship is a postgraduate practice that a former student in a medical institution has been doing for 1 year. This period is prescribed in the curricula of universities, that is, until the end of the practice, newly minted specialists are not certified doctors.
Is medical experience interrupted in case of studies in residency? Definitely yes, since residency is a full-time training of medical personnel. At the end of the classes, young specialists are issued certificates giving them the right to carry out professional activities.Practitioners, who at this time do not carry out labor activities, are undergoing residency training, classes last for 1 year. Since the work of the young specialist is suspended during this time period, then deductions to the Pension Fund are not received from him, therefore, the residency is not part of the medical experience.
When the medical experience is suspended
Next, we will analyze the medical experience in which cases is interrupted. The criteria according to which the calculation of seniority for doctors is carried out are the same as for other professions, and should be based on pension legislation.
When the medical experience is interrupted after dismissal
The circumstances under which the experience may be retained after the termination of the labor agreement depend on what served as the basis. There are several options:
- The employment agreement is terminated without good reason at the request of one of the parties. In this case, the employee has a period of one month to search for a new job, otherwise the experience will be considered interrupted. And in what cases the medical experience is interrupted, read on.
- A medical worker receives a period of two months for employment without interruption of employment in the event that the previous place of work was in the North or abroad.
From the foregoing, it follows that when leaving the work, a citizen has one or two months to apply for a job, depending on certain conditions. This time period is included in the general period, but at the end of it, the subsequent time will no longer be added to the length of service.
Interruption of employment at the initiative of an employee
The situations described above also apply when leaving the previous place of work at will, that is, the employee has one month to search for a new place.
Even if the medical worker is not going to continue working at all or simply intends to rest for a while, then the mentioned one month will still be added to the length of service. At the end of this period, the medical experience is interrupted, in which cases this still occurs, is described below.
Interruption of employment after dismissal at the initiative of the employer
Termination of the employment agreement at the initiative of the employer involves the commission of a gross violation by the employee. As a rule, such an act becomes the basis for dismissal under the article. In this case, there is no reason to provide a deadline for the search for a new job with the preservation of seniority, because the employee was grossly violated work discipline or in some other way showed an inability to work in the same place.
So, in what cases is the medical experience interrupted? In the event of termination of employment under an article, an employee’s seniority is terminated immediately after settlement and is renewed only upon employment in a new place.
Cases in which medical experience is not interrupted
Similar situations include:
- Dismissal from scientific or teaching activities following work in healthcare and social welfare organizations.
- Temporary disability or illness caused by the consequences of dismissal from the organs and from the positions prescribed in subparagraphs 1 / 1–1 / 3 of the Regulation, as well as when leaving the work to which the employee was transferred for the reasons indicated earlier.
- Continuous medical experience after dismissal continues after the resignation of medical personnel working in preschool and educational organizations, collective farm and state farm dispensaries, following work in medical institutions and public protection funds.
- Dismissal from institutions and organizations, regardless of the form of affiliation, performing the functions of healthcare institutions in the established manner, provided that before that, labor activity was carried out in medical institutions and social security funds.
- Dismissal from public health institutions and social protection.
Medical experience for retirement
The main condition for retirement of medical workers is the number of years worked in health facilities.As noted earlier, medical workers have the opportunity to take advantage of the benefit, provided they work for 25-30 years, depending on where the activity was carried out.
When calculating the medical experience (in what terms is interrupted, we already found out) the age does not matter, the main criterion is the number of years worked in the provision of medical services.
There are certain indicators for calculating seniority for certain categories of medical workers, for which, for example, one worked year is considered one and a half years. This list is approved by the government and displayed in the relevant regulation.
Does continuous experience affect pension
To calculate the amount of pension benefits, state benefits and other accruals, the continuity of medical experience today does not matter, since the insurance experience accumulated in the course of employment, which, in turn, covers the period of official employment, is taken as the basis gaps were made in the work or not.
Does medical and teaching experience summarize
The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain rules allowing to add up pedagogical and medical experience to each other in order to obtain the right to a preferential pension as a result.
If, for example, a citizen has worked in a preschool for 10 years and 20 years as a medical worker in a clinic, then in general it turns out 30 years. But this is not enough to go on a well-deserved vacation ahead of schedule. In order to take advantage of the privilege, it is necessary to work out 30 years only in the health sector in the city or 25 years in the village or 25 full years only in the educational institution.
The stated material clearly states that it is a continuous medical experience, but do not forget - everything is individual! The calculation of continuous experience in people of mature age is an exclusively individual process, since it depends not only on the number of years worked, but also on the affiliation of the institution where the activity was carried out, as well as on the position held.
