Persons subject to compulsory social insurance

Article 2 of the law briefly lists those categories of persons who, voluntarily or involuntarily, must be participants in the state insurance system.

Compulsory insurance should cover all foreign citizens and stateless persons who work in the territory of Russian Federation.

As for Russian residents, the following Russians are connected to the system:

convicts serving their sentences in colonies;
priests;
heads of enterprises at any level;
members of cooperatives;
persons engaged in any kind of work and receiving income.

Procedure for payment of benefits

The payment procedure is fixed by law and is not subject to change. Thus, child care benefits are also compensated in one organization of the insured person’s choice. Mother, father, grandparents have the right to present their rights to receive payments.

However, this privilege is granted once (one child at a time) and at one single enterprise.

Sick leave

Temporary disability benefits will be paid upon provision of sick leave. A sick leave certificate is issued at a medical institution and confirmed by a seal. His data is transmitted through the system of interdepartmental interaction to the social insurance fund.

After paying for sick leave, the insurer contacts the territorial department of the social insurance fund. The money paid by the employer is compensated upon verification of documents. FSSS employees check the accuracy of the accrual of benefits, compare the length of service with data from copies of the work record book.

Latest edition

The latest edition of Law 255-FZ is distinguished by a social approach. Thus, from January 1, 2017, the maximum value of the benefit is established. It should not exceed an amount that is more than 755 thousand rubles.

Article 3

This article establishes financial security in case of temporary disability. By general rules the first four days are paid out of pocket by the employer. Then the FSS is connected.

If the insured person does not have an employment relationship, then repayment of due payments is organized through interbudgetary transfers from the federal budget. Accrual is made from the first day of opening the sick leave.

Article 5

Article 5 describes situations when a person has the right to seek medical assistance in order to obtain sick leave.

Few people know that temporary disability is recognized when the following circumstances are established:

dental prosthetics in stationary conditions;
when one of the family members is declared incompetent;
when quarantine is declared in a preschool institution (child’s age is up to 7 years);
when staying in a sanatorium-resort institution after a long-term illness (so-called aftercare).

Article 7

The amount of temporary disability benefits is calculated based on length of service. Total length of service is the periods of employment, which, by the way, includes the time spent on maternity leave.

Therefore, almost every second citizen of the Russian Federation, whose work experience is equal to or more than 8 years, has the right to 100 percent payment for sick leave.

Students who have just graduated from university or young people are forced to “gain” experience. When it is less than 5 years, only 60 percent of the monthly earnings will be repaid. And in cases of 6 and 7 years of service, the benefit amount is 80 percent of previous accruals.

Article 8

The doctor issues a sick leave certificate to comply with a special medical regimen. When the insured person violates the order, sanctions may be applied to him in the form of a reduction in the amount of benefits.

This also includes cases when a citizen does not show up for a scheduled medical examination at a medical institution.

Article 9

When a person deliberately causes harm to his health, this case is not considered as a reason for paying sick leave. An intentional crime by the insured person and, as a consequence, injury or injury is also not a reason for temporary disability payments.

Article 11

A woman who has worked for only 6 months cannot receive benefits exceeding the minimum wage in the region. For other categories, payment for sick leave in case of pregnancy and childbirth is 100 percent.

Article 12

To receive benefits, you need to contact your employer or the Social Insurance Fund and provide a package of documentation. The fact of application must be registered no later than 6 months after the occurrence of certain circumstances.

Article 13

Thus, when assigning child care benefits, the insured person is obliged to inform the accounting department of the enterprise:

a copy of the child's birth certificate;
a copy of the paternity certificate;
copies of birth for other children;
copies of paternity certificates for other children;
a certificate from the mother's (father's) place of work, indicating that the citizen does not receive benefits twice.

Article 14

To calculate benefits, the average daily earnings for 2 years are taken. A woman (man) has the right to change pay periods to more paid time. Thus, at the request of the insured person, the estimated time instead of 2015, 2020 may be shifted to 2014 and 2011.

In order to correctly make all calculations and make the necessary payments, you need to carefully monitor changes that may be adopted.

What the law says

This one was specifically designed to exist regulatory regulation And legal framework to make payments for sick leave.

The latter is issued in the event of illness of the employee himself, his relatives who require care, and in connection with upcoming motherhood.

The main points of this Law are as follows:

The procedure for issuing a certificate of incapacity for work.
How to correctly calculate benefits for the period of temporary disability of an employee.
For what reasons should compensation be made?
What is the basis for issuing the document?
Some benefits provided to employees.
Provisions relating to the provision of maternity leave and payment for this period.

It is precisely the period of pregnancy and childbirth, as well as the subsequent period, that many provisions of this Law are devoted to.

This Law states that a woman has the right to:

In addition, a woman has the right to issue a sick leave certificate if her child falls ill.

The period of absence from work will also be paid, but when calculating, slightly different rules will be applied than when calculating maternity benefits.

When came into force

This law was developed and finalized throughout 2006. The main reasons for constant discussions are women's rights related to motherhood and their protection.

But, on December 20, 2006, Federal Law No. 255 was adopted by the State Duma, and a week later it was approved by the Federation Council.

The new Federal Law No. 255-FZ came into force on December 29, 2006.

Changes made to the Federal Law

Since then, many changes have been made to the document. So in 2020, some nuances and improvements came into force. In just 12 years of the law, about 25 changes were made to it.

The document has never changed fundamentally; only some adjustments have been made to it regarding the introduction of modern technologies.

The last changes were made on 03/07/2020. They touched upon the new rules for issuing sick leave and making payments to women during pregnancy and childbirth, and for child care.

The procedure for providing a certificate of temporary incapacity for work

Now you can receive a certificate of incapacity for work not only on paper, but also in electronic form.

This innovation has greatly simplified the lives of workers and employers.

The employee no longer has to worry that the document may become wrinkled, lost, or destroyed due to insurmountable circumstances, since it is quite difficult to obtain a duplicate.

Scheme of work electronic leaflets disability is as follows:

An insured event occurs	All grounds for registration of sick leave are specified in Art. 5 of Law No. 255-FZ
The employee notifies his employer about the occurrence of an insured event	If the employer has the opportunity to accept sick leave electronically, he must inform his employee about this. The employee gives / does not give permission to receive the document in electronic format
If he gave a positive answer	The doctor who will deal with the registration must inform about this. The doctor draws up an electronic sick leave and signs it with his electronic signature
The document enters a single database	Where the employer can find him
After the management makes sure that the employee was really sick and sick leave is issued in his name	It must fill in the appropriate lines and indicate the relevant information in them
In a single database of electronic sick leave certificates	They are available for inspection by the FSS inspector

This unified database linked together the employee - employer - FSS inspector. Now the interaction between these parties has become much more transparent and understandable.

Calculation criteria

Temporary disability benefits are calculated using the following formula:

Benefit = average earnings for 1 day of work * duration of the period.

To calculate the average earnings for 1 day of work for a specific employee, it is necessary to take into account all of his labor income for the last 2 years.

If the period of incapacity for work fell in 2020, then for the calculation you need to use data for 2017 and 2016, respectively.

All periods during which the employee officially received labor income and the employer made contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for him are taken into account.

This value must be divided by 730 (this is the number of days in 2 years) or 731 (if one of previous years was a leap year).

The resulting quotient will be the average daily earnings of a particular employee.

To know how much the employee will receive, it is necessary to multiply the average daily earnings by the number of days of temporary absence from work.

Benefit payment procedure

The amount of benefits an employee will receive depends on the reason for absence from work and the employee’s length of service.

If the situation is standard, that is, the employee himself gets sick, then he will receive:

In some cases, sick leave is paid based on the minimum wage. These are cases such as:

From 01.01.2020, the federal minimum wage was set at 9,489 rubles, but from 01.05.2020 there was another increase to the subsistence level. Now the minimum wage is 11,163 rubles.

Regardless of length of service, sick leave is paid:

Payment period

The faster an employee submits a sick leave certificate to the employer’s accounting department, the faster he will receive his temporary disability benefit. But, he has six months from the moment the sick leave ends to provide it.

As soon as the certificate of incapacity for work is submitted to the accounting department, employees of this service begin calculating benefits.

It must be assigned within 10 days from the moment the document was received by the employee. The same period is required for the Social Insurance Fund to consider the situation regarding payments.

If an electronic sick leave certificate has been issued, then even fewer disputes arise. It immediately appears in a single database, and calculations can be made.

The employee must receive the entire amount in the coming days of salary payment at the enterprise.

List of reasons for reducing the amount of compensation

In Art. 8 of Law No. 255-FZ provides the grounds on which the amount of temporary disability benefits may be reduced.

Such circumstances include:

If these circumstances exist, payment for the period of incapacity for work occurs based on the minimum wage, which is established at the federal level at the time of the occurrence of these circumstances.
