Cancellation of work books

Labor books (TC), which for decades served the citizens of Russia with faith and truth, very soon they might disappear. The idea of canceling this document belongs to the Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development, which decided to prepare and implement some changes in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Experts believe that the abolition of labor books should have occurred much earlier, but some trade union leaders rightly decided that a sharp rejection of them could lead to a real social explosion. After all, even though all the information about the work activity of each citizen is stored in the Pension Fund database and is strictly personified, it is still impossible to fully rely on it. Any virus, hacking or other force majeure can lead to partial or complete loss of data.

In addition, it is believed that experts who were born before 1967 may suffer most of all, since without a work record it will be practically impossible for them to confirm the work experience, which is necessary for calculation of the pension and its accrual. After all, it's not a secret for anyone that sooner or later, any organization, one way or another, ceases to exist, and "finding ends" to take at least confirmatory information, sometimes it is not possible. Therefore, for this category of citizens, a work book, the cancellation of which is almost the first place on the agenda of the Pension Fund, is in fact the only way to confirm your experience.

However, the press service of the FIU states that all databases belonging to the fund are protected by the most modern means to date, which are certified by the competent authorities. It is alleged that the so-called special information security regime operates within the PF, and a set of organizational and technical measures, which is also being implemented, is aimed at protecting databases from any unauthorized access and copying not only by outsiders, but also by fund officials.

Although officials suggest that a complete cancellation of workbooks can be painless to occur only within 10 years, PF representatives do not think so. They are sure that to separate TC from older people can help them to take their work into account independently. At the device for a new job, a supporting document of their previous activities can be a letter of recommendation from the head or a copy of the employment contract.

However, some nuances are still not taken into account. Thus, the abolition of the work record card may prevent the receipt of a loan. Whatever one may say, many banks, in addition to other securities, still require this document, as it confirms that the bearer has constant stable work, and, consequently, the possibility to pay monthly installments.

But still the abolition of labor books has its pluses. However, they relate not to owners of TC, but employees of personnel services. If this document is eliminated, HR staff will be able to breathe a little more freely, because they will no longer need to fill out books and keep records of them. This is especially true for large enterprises, where masses of people regularly get a job or are fired from it. In addition, there is no longer any possibility of spoiling some people for further life, dismissing them on undesirable articles (for absenteeism, for failure to perform their duties properly, etc.).

Of course, for people with a long work record, a work book can be an excellent help in writing a resume. In addition, an option is considered in which an employee can have a work record book and, if desired, provide it to the employer for recording. But the employer himself will not have the right to demand the TC from the employee. Also representatives of the PF assure that the abolition of workbooks will not affect the benefits that will be provided to those retired citizens who have any awards noted in the document.
