The application is submitted to the body (its apparatus) where the employee served before dismissal. Documents for granting a pension are also submitted there; their list can be seen in Appendix No. 1 to Order of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation dated May 22, 2017 No. 436n.

Civil service classification

When are civil servants entitled to a long-service pension?

We draw attention to an important circumstance. The specified law 166-FZ applies only to federal

state civil servants, that is, persons who for a certain time, while in the civil service, worked in positions of
federal
government bodies or for persons holding government positions in the Russian Federation. Thus, pensions for federal civil servants are assigned in accordance with Law 166-FZ.

Law 166-FZ does not apply to civil servants who were in the public service in regional or municipal authorities and did not work in federal authorities. The long-service pension for these civil servants is assigned and paid in accordance with regional legislation.

It is important to keep in mind the following circumstance. A long-service pension is assigned in addition to the old-age insurance pension if the necessary conditions are met, which we will discuss below.

A service pension for civil servants is granted if they have the required length of service in the relevant service. Yes, for federal

For state civil servants, this length of service in 2020 is 17 years, followed by an annual increase of 6 months until reaching 20 years of experience in 2026.

Thus, in order to receive a long-service pension for a state civil servant in 2020, the following conditions must be met:

• existence of grounds for assigning an old-age (disability) insurance pension to a civil servant, since the long-service pension is established in addition to the specified pension. Such grounds are the presence of an insurance period of at least 11 years and an individual pension coefficient of at least 18.6;
• civil servants reach the age of 57 years (women) and 62 years (men);
• having at least 17 years of public service experience;
• being in the civil service for at least 12 months consecutively after dismissal;
• dismissal is not the fault of the civil servant himself.

At the same time, federal civil servants with at least 25 years of experience in the state civil service and dismissal from service due to termination of a service contract on their own initiative have the right to a long-service pension before the appointment of an old-age (disability) insurance pension, if immediately before dismissal they have held positions in the federal state civil service for at least 7 years.

There is one more condition that appears after the assignment of a long-service pension: a citizen cannot work in a government position after he has been assigned such a pension.

Models of remuneration for civil servants in the Russian Federation

In the state civil service in the Russian Federation, a time-based form of remuneration in a time-based bonus system is widely used.

In this case, remuneration should be made depending on the indicators of efficiency and effectiveness of professional work activities, determined in a fixed-term service contract.

To state civil servants, whose wages are paid in the specified special order:

Performance indicators can serve both to evaluate the performance of a government body as a whole, and to evaluate the performance of state civil servants.

The main direction of improving performance indicator systems in the last decade in most Western countries has been related to:

• with finding the optimal balance between defining indicators for public authorities and public civil servants and
• establishing a close relationship between them.

Currently, the most common approach is to:

• at the level of government bodies, integral performance indicators are used that reflect the main political or economic parameters of its activities, for example, the unemployment rate,
• which are then decomposed to the level of structural units, for example, the number of developed retraining programs for the unemployed, and
• Finally, they reach the level of state civil servants, for example, the share of citizens applying for retraining per month.

This approach is also reflected in parts 14-17 of Article 50 “Payment of civil servants” of Federal Law No. 79-FZ “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”.
