The basic rules of filling labor books

Do not underestimate official employment.

It's still young it seems that before retirement is still very far, and how much of it, that pension - a penny, which does not live.

The main thing is not official employment, but a large salary, which will allow you to save enough money for a comfortable old age.

Logic in this, of course, is, that's only the plan does not work every time and you have to look into your workplace to scrape together the required length of service.

And then there are problems, because it was not quite right.

It is very important to know the rules for filling the work record book not only to personnel officers, for whom this duty is one of the main, but also to ordinary workers, in order to monitor the actions of employees of the recruitment agency.

What is a workbook and who invented it?

The workbook is an interesting document, which many foreigners even have no idea.

Very interesting and the history of its occurrence.

1) What is a workbook?

The workbook is not just a piece of paper, even if it's solidly designed. This is an official paper that contains records not only about the employment of a citizen, but also a number of his personal data.

Not all countries in Europe, to say nothing of Africa or America, practice this. But many CIS states still adhere to the Soviet tradition in issuing papers on the official employment of their citizens.

Each workbook must have:

  • full name of the holder;
  • his date of birth;
  • education;
  • specialty, which he received;
  • records of each employment relationship with the contracting party.

People who have never worked anywhere and are not going to do it in the near future, such knizhentsiya is not needed.

Such an interesting official document you will need when you first apply for work( and then - only if the employment is official).

Personnel will issue a work book, make the first record and leave it at home.

To be stored in the personnel department this book will be until you change your place of work. Then you will be given it in your hands, but only for you to transfer it to the personnel department of the organization where you are going to find employment.

2) How did the rules for filling the employment record vary?

Labor books were ubiquitous in the USSR, because in the Soviet Union informal employment was not practiced. If it was, it was called shabbat on a small scale.

The first workman came up with the French back in 1749.It was in the middle of the XVIII century that French employers began to demand from workers a document that would tell about his previous place of work.

At first these papers were disposable: the new employer took the document issued by the former employer, studied it and threw it away. And then, when the employee moved from him to another position, he made the paper again.

Already in 1781 disposable pieces of paper replaced permanent labor books.

Napoleon tried to abolish similar practice in France, but they survived well until the beginning of the 20th century, spreading to other countries: Denmark, Germany, Bulgaria, the Soviet Union.

Labor legislation, including the introduction of special books for records on the employment of citizens, arose in Russia in 1919.But the innovation did not last long, because in 1923 it was abolished.

Seriously and permanently labor came to the Soviet Union only in 1939.

The rules for filling out books about the employment of citizens have been constantly changing and supplementing. Confusion arose also because of imperfect labor legislation.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, labor books remained in many post-Soviet countries, including Russia and Ukraine. The rules for filling them are regulated by a number of government laws.

In Ukraine, the labor one is still an official document, which must be filled in accordance with a number of rules. But in Russia there is a slightly different situation.

A special book for fixing employment was tried to cancel as early as the beginning of the 2000s, then - in the beginning of 2010-ies. In the end, the Duma voted the bill, according to which the labor will be abolished in early 2017 in those organizations where the staff does not exceed 15 people.

Staffing companies of large companies still need to know the rules of filling out an official document so as not to make serious mistakes.
