The Ministry of Labor proposed to expand the list of applicants for early retirement

As reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, the decree amends the lists of jobs, industries, professions, positions, specialties and institutions, taking into account which an old-age insurance pension is assigned ahead of schedule.

The changes will affect those employees who need to constantly take refresher courses to work.

The length of service, if the innovations are adopted, will include periods of training, when employees retain their jobs and wages, and employers deduct contributions to compulsory pension insurance for students.

In the meantime, periods of study are not included in the work experience required for early retirement.

If we talk about professions, then the changes will affect doctors, teachers, as well as public transport workers. Also, innovations will apply to representatives of other professions who are entitled to early retirement.

Recall that it is now possible for physicians working with patients infected with coronavirus to retire prematurely. In accordance with the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin, one day of work with covid patients now counts as two.
