Pensions expert Sergei Korobkin explained what to look for when confirming a preferential period of service, writes "

He recalled that men employed full-time in jobs with especially harmful and especially difficult working conditions (according to List No. 1) and based on the results of attestation of workplaces are entitled to a pension upon reaching 50 years of age with at least 25 years of work experience, of which. For men who have at least half of the required preferential service (at least 5 years), the retirement age is reduced by 1 year for each year of work under List No. 1.

Usually, only a work book is not enough to confirm the preferential length of service. First of all, you must add a certificate from the enterprise confirming the special nature of the work. And, of course, the certification of workplaces must be confirmed, if we are talking about periods after August 21, 1992. Those who worked in hazardous conditions before the specified date do not require certification.

Certification at the enterprise should be carried out at least once every 5 years. If, for example, the first certification was carried out in 1995 and its period was valid until 2000, and the next certification was carried out in 2001, that is, with a delay of a year, then this entire year will not be credited to the employee’s preferential service. If the certification was not carried out as a whole, then all the hard and honest work of a person will not be included in the preferential period. Therefore, many employees lose the right to early retirement..

There is a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated August 1, 1992. No.

442 " In accordance with it, the heads of enterprises and organizations, regardless of the form of ownership and management, must carry out certification of jobs and determine, based on the results, a list of jobs, industries, jobs, professions and positions with preferential pension provision. At the same time, employees should be familiar with the results of certification.

Responsibility for the timely and high-quality certification is assigned to the head of the enterprise. And control over this process is entrusted to the State Labor Service of Ukraine.

Recall in which cases they can not assign a preferential pension.
