Warm length of service for retirement, how long do you need to work?

Employees who work in hazardous or harmful working conditions have the right to retire early. The length of service for them is calculated in a special order. Among the people, the name “hot experience” was assigned to him.

What is hot work experience?

In the current Russian labor legislation there is no concept of “hot seniority”. However, this term usually refers to the time during which certain categories of workers worked, for whom the legislator established a preferential pension. These include two large groups of workers:

persons who worked in production with harmful or dangerous working conditions (in fact, hence the expression “hot work experience” - after all, early retirement is also due to those who work in hot shops);
citizens who worked on a rotational basis in regions belonging to the Far North.

The rules for early retirement in these situations are established by the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions”.

What does it include?

The first category of workers for whom longevity is calculated are persons who work in hazardous or hazardous industries. This is what these concepts mean.

Harmful production is production in which working conditions adversely affect the worker’s body. This can cause various diseases directly during work or even after its termination (for example, dismissal or retirement).
Hazardous production - this category includes production in which injury or death can occur to an employee (for example, steel production, metal working).

For working conditions at an enterprise to be considered harmful and dangerous, the following factors must exist:

uncomfortable ambient temperature (high or low);
the presence of harmful fumes, suspensions, dust, aerosols, gases in the air;
carrying out work with substances with increased chemical activity (acids, organic solvents and the like);
carrying out work with microorganisms, protozoa, living cells.

The second category of workers who have such length of service are shift workers working in the Far North. Under the watch, Article 297 of the Labor Code understands a type of organization of labor activity of citizens, due to the specifics of which they cannot return to their place of permanent residence every day. In simple terms, this is work away from home. The list of areas that are considered the Far North is established by Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of January 3, 1983 No. 12, which is still in force. In accordance with this document, the regions of the Far North include:

Murmansk region;
Tyumen region;
Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug;
Komi Republic;
Arkhangelsk region;
Krasnoyarsk region;
Irkutsk region;
Republic of Yakutia;
Magadan region;
Republic of Karelia;
Khabarovsk region;
Kamchatka;
Republic of Tyva;
Sakhalin region.

For citizens who worked on a rotational basis in the listed regions, their length of service is calculated in a special manner.

What does long service mean for retirement?

The length of service discussed in this article allows you to retire early. However, before this, it is necessary to work in appropriate conditions that give the right to benefits for a certain time. It is different for representatives of different genders.

For men

The minimum retirement age for men is twelve and a half years. Once this time is reached, the man will be able to retire five years earlier than the age prescribed for all other citizens, that is, 60 years.

For women

For women, the minimum hot work experience is ten years. The retirement period, like for men, is reduced by five years. Thus, a woman can end her working career at 55 years old.

Despite the presence of an established minimum threshold of preferential length of service, even if the worker has not reached it, he has the right to early retirement. In this case, length of service is calculated based on the rule that every two and a half years worked in appropriate conditions brings retirement closer by one year for men and by two for women. For example, if a man worked for only two and a half years in conditions where seniority is hot, he will retire at 64 years old, that is, a year earlier.

How to confirm?

In order to retire early, it is necessary to confirm with the Pension Fund the fact of working in unfavorable conditions. To do this, you will have to provide the following documents:

application for early assignment of pension;
passport;
a copy of the work book;
a copy of the employment contract;
SNILS;
certificate of average salary for the last five years of work;
for women - marriage certificate;
a document confirming the recognition of working conditions at the enterprise where the citizen worked as harmful or dangerous;
for shift workers - a document confirming work on a rotational basis.

For certain categories of citizens, early retirement is provided. Among them are those who have so-called “hot work experience,” that is, people who worked in harmful or dangerous conditions, as well as those who worked on a rotational basis in the Far North. However, such experience must still be confirmed by submitting the established documents to the Pension Fund.

Overview of professional areas for which the concept of “hot” experience applies

This concept is sometimes used as a replacement for the term “harmful” experience. We are talking about the period of work of a citizen in a certain area where conditions can negatively affect health.

Typically, this includes work at various mining enterprises or in the northern regions, but let’s talk about this in more detail and find out which professions are guaranteed to be subject to labor standards.

Persons performing labor duties in positions and in a specific area included in the list will be able to apply for state benefits before the required time:

in the northern regions of the Russian Federation;
at work underground;
in hot shops;
if the employment conditions are very difficult;
for women when working as a tractor driver and in other industries;
for female employees - textile production;
metro and railway employees;
public transport drivers;
theater actors;
medical institutions;
correctional colonies;
in flight crews;
during unloading at the port;
in logging and timber rafting;
in geological exploration and forest management;
rescuers and firefighters;
schools and preschool institutions.

In addition to applying the concept of “hot” experience to the field of activity, in order to obtain state benefits ahead of schedule, you need to take into account two lists approved by the government. Registers are used to identify hazardous professions and areas of employment. Additional information on the topic of the article can be obtained from the video:

How lists are formed and what requirements apply to professions

All jobs and professions, taking into account the degree of health hazard, are divided into two lists. This was done on the basis of different conditions for assigning government payments. Detailed information on this topic is given in the table:

List of professions	Conditions for granting state benefits
List No1.

all types of work performed underground;
work in difficult and harmful conditions (refining oil resources, creating military shells);

And other activities.

Men leave at the age of 50 if they have 10 years of “hot” experience and 20 years of insurance;
from the age of 45 - women, if they have experience: “hot” - from 7.5 years, and insurance - from 15 years.

When a person works under the conditions reflected in the 1st register, but the length of service is not enough, then the state benefit is assigned as for an employee of the 2nd list.

mining;
harmful and difficult working conditions (production of medicines);
transport professions.

Men are leaving at 55 years of age, with a “hot” experience of 12.5 years and insurance experience of 25 years;

Early retirement is provided, but depends on the conditions of employment, the gender of the candidate and the duration of each type of service.

Each list is similarly presented in Resolution of the USSR Cabinet of Ministers No. 10 of January 26, 1991.
