The work book stores all the information about the employee’s work activity and is used to determine the length of his work experience. The currently valid forms of work book and insert are established in the Post. No. 225 of April 16, 2003. How to correctly fill out a work book is indicated in Post. No. 69 of October 10, 2003. These resolutions contain discrepancies on some issues, which requires reference to the Labor Code and makes it even more difficult to draw up a work book.

This is especially true for private entrepreneurs who are forced to take on the responsibility of maintaining personnel records. The slightest deviation from the standards for filling out a work book leads to the invalidity of the information entered, as well as various errors made in the entries themselves. To eliminate the consequences, corrections are made to the relevant columns strictly according to the established pattern. In exceptional cases, the employee is issued a duplicate.

When does it open

Each work book has its own number, is issued to the employee for life and cannot be replaced with the exception of certain cases. If a recently hired employee does not have this document, you need to open a new one for him. If there was one, but for some reason cannot be provided, this information is reflected in the act, which is certified by the signatures of: the person issuing the new work book, the employee and the witness.

The document is issued for an employee who has worked for the company for at least six days, and must be completed within a week from the date of his employment. This procedure carried out in the presence of the employee from whose wages subsequently the cost of the form is deducted.

How to fill out

All entries in the work book are entered by an official of the organization authorized to do so by order of the manager, most often by an employee of the personnel department. In his absence, this may be an accountant or director of the enterprise. The document is subject to registration in the accounting book and is kept by the employer until the employee is dismissed or transferred to another place of work. If necessary, the employee is given an extract from the book at the place of request.

Extract from the work book - sample filling:

Records are kept in legible handwriting, all words are given in full version, without any abbreviations. The numerical expression of dates, characteristics and other information is indicated only in Arabic numerals. Also, you cannot write the name of the month in words. The correct format for filling in the date is 03/05/2019. It is acceptable to use ballpoint, gel and fountain pens. The paste, gel and ink they contain must be highly resistant to water and ultraviolet rays. The optimal colors are blue, dark purple and black shades of coloring pigment.

Documentation

To fill out a work book you need:

  • employee's passport (or other identification document);
  • diploma of education;
  • work record book;
  • certificate of individual entrepreneur or Charter of the organization;
  • official seal.

For details on how to fill out the title page of the work book, watch the video.

The work book is divided into three parts:

  3. Awards section.

Job details

Each page of the middle and most extensive section consists of four columns containing:

  1. The serial number of the entry (from No. 1 onwards).
  2. Hiring date and other events.
  3. The record itself, which represents information about the organization (its full and abbreviated name), job title (indicating qualifications) and department. In addition to the fact of hiring, cases of transfer to another position and dismissal are also recorded here. Information about this must be entered in the column within 7 days from the date the order is issued, with the exception of the record of dismissal, which is drawn up directly on the day of its commission.

For details on how to make notes about work in the work book, watch the video

additional information

  1. At the request of the employee, information about part-time work is entered into it. The entry is made on the basis of documents provided by another enterprise where the employee is employed in a combined position. In this case, the same principles for filling out the column are used as when entering information about the main work. The work book must be kept by the employee of the personnel department at the place of main work, who is the only one who has the right to enter any information into it.
  2. Acquisition of a second profession, obtaining a rank, and advanced training are also reflected in this section.
  3. If the enterprise is renamed, a corresponding entry is made indicating the document that served as the basis for this. This information will be able to explain the discrepancy in the seals given during the employment and dismissal of the employee. The same steps are performed when renaming a position.
  4. In case of reorganization of the enterprise, the section notes the dismissal of the employee with his subsequent employment in the new company.

Sample of filling out a work book during the liquidation of an LLC:

Examples

A. S. Kopacheva joined the position of legal adviser at Avelan OJSC on February 27, 2016. On August 12, 2016, she was transferred to the position of senior legal adviser. This fact was reflected in the “Work Information” section.

When dismissing an employee, in column No. 3 you must indicate the regulatory act of the Labor Code, according to which this measure was applied. The entry must be confirmed by the seal of the company or human resources department and the signature of the person who filled out the work book. The employee must also sign in this column, thereby confirming his agreement with the entries made during his work.

A. M. Sholokhov served as a salesman at CJSC Continent. On March 6, 2017, he was fired for absenteeism without good reason. The dismissal order was signed on the same day.

Awards

This section contains information about the titles assigned to the employee, diplomas, certificates and other awards provided for by the company’s internal regulations and legislation. These do not include verbal gratitude from management, as well as regularly paid cash bonuses included in the payroll system. Which explains the complete lack of information in this section, which is found in the work books of most workers. Moreover, various certificates and diplomas issued to an employee without issuing a corresponding order are also only a nominal expression of gratitude, not reflected either in the work book or in the personal file.

Insert design

If all the free spaces in the work book have been used up and there is nowhere to make new entries, the insert opens. Usually it is sewn into the end of the document, since there are no specific instructions about this in the instructions for filling out work books. A stamp is placed on the title page (or cover) of the main book about the issue of the insert, indicating its series and number.

The rules for maintaining both documents are identical; the title page of the insert must also be completed. The numbering of entries continues after the number at which filling out the work book ended. If errors were made when filling out the insert, it will be disposed of in the presence of the commission, drawing up a report. The same applies to rejected or outdated work records.

By orders No. 588n and 589n dated October 31, 2016 No. 588n, the Ministry of Labor amended the Instructions for filling out work books, approved by departmental resolution No. 69 dated October 10, 2003, and provided explanations on the changes that were made to the rules for maintaining and storage of these personnel documents.

The signature of the person who issued the work book must be certified by the seal of the personnel service or the seal of the organization that issued the document. By the order mentioned above, a clarification was made to the Instructions that the seal impression is affixed if it is available, since for enterprises that have organizational form LLC and JSC Federal Law of April 6, 2015 No. 82-FZ abolished the obligation to have a round seal. If the enterprise does not have a seal, the entries made on the title page of the work book must additionally be certified by the signature of the person in whose name this document is issued.

The same amendment was made to clause 2.3, which regulates the introduction of corrections to entries made in work books. Thus, references to the documents that became the basis for making adjustments to the records are made on the inside cover of the work book and must be certified by the signature of the manager or other person with the appropriate authority, as well as the round seal of the organization. According to the changes made by the order, the seal is affixed if it is available.

The agency reminds that for enterprises organized in the form of an LLC or JSC, the presence of a seal is no longer a mandatory requirement, except in cases where such an obligation is imposed on the organization in accordance with the law. Information about the presence or absence of a seal must be reflected in the charter of the enterprise.

Rules for filling out work books in 2018

A work book is an official document that confirms a person’s work experience. It contains information about the current and previous places work. The need to have this document is to inform the new employer about work experience, as well as to calculate work experience.

The rules for filling out work books are the same for everyone. Let's look at them.

General provisions

If you are getting a job for the first time, you can purchase a work permit at specialized press kiosks. Its form was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2003 No. 225 and has not changed fundamentally.

An empty book is submitted (or created) upon first official employment. There are no entries, so the first employer must make the first entries.

In cooperation with the employer under a civil agreement, availability and completion work book not required.

During work, the employee's work is left at the company and is not handed over to the employee until his official dismissal. The rules for maintaining work books are:

  1. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 16, 2003 No. 225;
  2. Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated October 10, 2003 No. 69.

They say that all career changes (promotions and demotions) are recorded in in writing HR specialist or head of the enterprise where the employee is officially registered.

According to our information, there will be no global revision of the rules for filling out work books in 2018. Of course, rumors continue to circulate about their cancellation, but this is only a distant prospect.

How to take notes

All changes regarding the employee’s official position, including promotion to category ( career), awards received, transfers to another structural unit, etc.

All entries are made exclusively in Russian. Dubbing of recordings on foreign language can only be carried out if the employer is registered in national republic The Russian Federation, where its own language operates in parallel.

In addition, the rules for drawing up a work book oblige all entries to be made in strict compliance with the rules of the Russian language. Taking into account the design of numbers, data and numbering adopted in official document flow.

How to provide information about an employee

The first employer will have to fill out basic information about the future employee:

  • first name, patronymic, last name;
  • birthday;
  • what kind of education;
  • profession.

The organization takes this information directly from the originals or notarized copies of the provided personal documents - passport, diploma, etc. The rules for making an entry in the work book oblige each new position to be recorded with the signatures of the employer and employee. After entering all the data and checking the information, the employment record is stored in the company’s personnel department.

An important addition: if a person changes some personal data during work (for example, last name and/or first name), then they must be immediately updated in the work book at the current place of work.

Moreover: information such as qualifications or level of education must also be supplemented if they are updated. For example, when, when hired, a person had an incomplete higher education, and in the process received a diploma higher education.

How to fill out job information

The main section of the book is considered to be “Information about work”. The rules for maintaining and storing work books regulate the process of filling out all the necessary data.

One record of the employee’s place of work will not be enough. According to current regulations, the company must indicate the start date of work, position and record subsequent possible changes (for example, transfer).

There are a total of four fields in this section that must be filled out (see table).

An important addition: in case of completing military service before applying for a job, the employer indicates this data before the entries from his organization in general procedure. The rules for maintaining work records in the Russian Federation in 2018 require documentary evidence of all career events, including the completion of military service. In this case, the confirmation document is the military ID number.

According to the rules for filling out work books in 2018, if an employee has a part-time job, this can also be indicated in the work book. Moreover, the document itself is not taken away from the main place of work. Information about parallel employment is provided by the employer who, by force of law, holds the work book. To do this, the non-principal place of work must document all necessary information, confirming this with signatures and a seal (if available).

Another section of the work book is “Information about awards.” It is completed in the manner described above. It also consists of four columns, the order of which is similar to the basic information about the work.

This includes information about received certificates, awards (including state awards), and titles.

Features of dismissal records

The case of leaving the main place of work is entered into the work book as a separate event. The rules for filling out and storing work books oblige the main employer to enter the necessary data regarding the reason for dismissal. In this case, fill out all four columns in the same way. About the grounds for dismissal - the third.

The most important thing here is the exact basis for dismissal in accordance with the specific norm of the Labor Code. Basically, this is Article 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and some other norms.

If the reason for leaving the company was due to valid events for which, by law, a person can count on support from the state, then this is also reflected in the book (for example, dismissal to look after a child).

Important nuances

If incorrect data or grammatical errors are entered, crossing out is unacceptable. In this case, this entry is considered invalid. This is what they write:

A similar repetition should be made with a note that the data is correct and corresponds to reality

Please note that the rules for filling out work books oblige you to make adjustments in case of possible changes:

  • company name (including legal form);
  • type of printing (using different ones in one book is unacceptable!).

By the way, the latest change in the rules for maintaining work records affected the seals. From November 27, 2016, the obligation to affix a seal was finally abolished if the organization does not have one in principle.

If the workday is over and there is no space left to fill, then there is no need to start a new one. You just need to sew in a new liner, which is then filled according to standard rules. Required condition is precisely the sewing of the liner using any type of thread. He always looks like this:

Official registration of a work book is possible even before the employee reaches the age of majority.

According to the rules for storing work books, these are strict reporting forms. They need special supervision. A special register has been approved for this purpose. You can view it and download it on our website here.

And you need to store them directly until you former employee or his close relatives will not take his work.

Work books. Filling it out in a new way

The previously existing instructions for filling out work books have been replaced by a new one. Alexey Vasilievich ANOKHIN, Deputy Head of the Department of Legal Regulation of Labor of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Labor of Russia, talks about the features of filling out a work book according to the new rules.

— In connection with this, new instructions for filling out work books were adopted. Why did the old one stop working?

— The instructions for filling out work books were approved by the resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated 10.10.03. It was adopted in order to implement the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 16, 2003 No. 225 “On work books”, which approved the rules for maintaining and storing work books, producing work book forms and providing them to employers.

With the adoption of the new instructions they are declared ineffective regulations former Union SSR on issues related to work books, the main of which, perhaps, was the instruction on the procedure for maintaining work books at enterprises, institutions and organizations, adopted back in 1974 and a little short of its 30th anniversary.

The instructions did not introduce any cardinal, significant changes to the procedure for maintaining work records, which had developed over many decades. For the convenience of personnel service workers, all the most key provisions of the previous instructions of 1974 have been retained.

— What new points are reflected in the instructions?

— If the previous instructions regulated all issues, including the rules for recording, filling out, storing work books, control over the procedure for maintaining them, then the new one establishes only the procedure for filling out work books and their duplicates. All other issues are regulated by the Rules for maintaining and storing work books, producing work book forms and providing them to employers, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 225.

The instruction sets general rules entering information into the work book, rules for entering information about the employee, his work, termination of the employment contract, and also includes a section specifically devoted to the peculiarities of filling out a duplicate work book. The rules for recording information about awards in the new instructions are presented as before, but the procedure for recording training time and work activity as a member of a collective farm is absent, since this is not provided for in the resolution.

As appendices to the resolution of the Ministry of Labor that approved the instructions, the form of the receipt and expenditure book for recording the forms of the work book and the insert in it and the form of the book of accounting for the movement of labor books and the inserts in them were also approved. Standards for recording and storing work books, which were included in the old instructions of 1974, in new instructions were not included, since these issues are regulated by the Rules for maintaining labor books (Section VI).

— What details would you draw the attention of personnel officers to?

— First of all, the fact that dates are recorded in all sections of work books are made in Arabic numerals. Moreover, first the day and month are two-digit, and then the year is four-digit. For example, if an employee was hired on December 1, 2003, then the entry “12/01/2003” is made in the work book. Entries may be made with a fountain or gel pen, a rollerball pen (including a ballpoint pen), or light-resistant ink (paste, gel) in black, blue or violet. All recordings are made in full. Abbreviations in the work book are unacceptable. For example, it is not allowed to write “pr.” instead of “order”, “order” instead of “order”, “trans.” instead of “transferred”, etc. In column 3 of the “Work Information” section of the work book, the full name of the organization, as well as the abbreviated name of the organization (if any), is indicated as a heading. Links to articles must also now be entered on the basis of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (the name of the code, by the way, must also be written in full - “Labor Code of the Russian Federation”). The instructions provide two or three examples for each position.

As before, the employee’s last name, first name and patronymic are indicated in full, without abbreviating or replacing the first and patronymic with initials; the date of birth is recorded in full (day, month, year) on the basis of an identity document. Moreover, the list of such documents looks quite liberal: passport, military ID, international passport, driver's license, etc.

Records of the name of a position (job), specialty, profession indicating qualifications are made, as a rule, in accordance with the organization’s staffing table.

By the way, according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 16, 2003 No. 225 “On work books,” the procedure for providing employers with work book forms and an insert in it is still in the process of approval by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.

— Is it necessary to enter the name of the position and specialty of the employee in accordance with the ETKS?

— Entering into the work book the name of a position, specialty, profession, as well as qualification requirements in accordance with qualification reference books is necessary only in cases where federal law provides for the provision of benefits or restrictions for the performance of work in these positions, specialties or professions. Changes and additions made in the prescribed manner to qualification reference books and the organization's staffing table are brought to the attention of employees, after which appropriate changes and additions are made to their work books on the basis of an order (instruction) or other decision of the employer. When filling out job information, indicate the full name of the organization and its abbreviated name (if available). If the condition of working in a specific structural unit is included in the employment contract as essential, then a record of acceptance or appointment to a structural unit of the organization is made in the work book, indicating its specific name.

— What new sections have appeared in the instructions?

— I would like to draw your attention to the fact that a separate section includes cases related to dismissal and hiring in connection with the transfer of an employee to another employer. The instructions establish that upon dismissal in connection with such a transfer, the work book indicates how the transfer is carried out - at the request of the employee or with his consent. In the entry for a new job, an indication is made that the employee was hired as a transfer.

Particular attention should be paid to the section on dismissal (termination of an employment contract). It describes in detail, with examples, the procedure for making entries on the termination of an employment contract for various reasons: employee initiative, employer initiative, circumstances beyond the control of the parties.

— What new responsibilities do HR officers have for filling out work books?

— When dismissing an employee (terminating an employment contract), the personnel officer is obliged to familiarize him with all the records made during his work in this organization and obtain the employee’s signature under them in the work book. Moreover, only the signature itself and its decryption are enough. The words “read” or “agree” are not required. The receipt and expenditure book for accounting forms and the book for recording the movement of work books and inserts in them must be numbered, laced, certified by the signature of the head of the organization, and also sealed with a wax seal or sealed.

— How should errors in work books be corrected?

— An entry containing errors is considered invalid. If there is an entry in the work book about dismissal or transfer to another permanent job, which is subsequently declared invalid, a duplicate work book is issued upon a written application from the employee. In this case, an entry declared invalid will not be entered there. In the upper right corner of the first page of the duplicate work book, the inscription “Duplicate” is written. And on the first page (title page) of the previous work book it is written “Instead, a duplicate was issued” indicating its series and number.

The duplicate is filled out according to the general rules for drawing up a work book. If an employee has already worked before joining this organization, then when filling out a duplicate, information is entered not only about the total length of service, as provided for in the previous instructions, but also about continuous experience work before joining this organization.

The instruction establishes that the employer makes copies of the original documents, on the basis of which the corresponding entries are made in the duplicate work book, and duly certifies them. After this, the original documents are returned to the owner.

Instructions for filling out and maintaining work books - the main document establishing the procedure for filling them out. What this instruction contains and how to fill out the work book correctly will be discussed in our article.

What is a work book?

A work book is a document that records information about a person’s work experience.

In Art. 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that this document is the main confirmation of length of service and work activity.

Resolution “On Work Books” No. 225 dated April 16, 2003 approved a standard form, which came into force on January 1, 2004. Old samples of this document cannot be exchanged and are recognized as valid. They are manufactured at the Gosznak enterprise and have the appropriate degree of protection.

The work book is included in the list of mandatory documents presented when concluding an employment contract (Article 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The only exception is the case when such an agreement with a person is signed for the first time, i.e. the employee has not worked anywhere before. In this case, the work book is provided to him by the administration free of charge. In this case, the personnel officer must fill out the information indicated on the first page and indicate information about the person responsible for its initial completion. The owner’s signature is also placed on the first sheet.

Work books for employees who have worked at the enterprise for more than 5 days must be filled out if this work is their main job (Article 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For information about the rules for making an entry when applying for a job, read the article Filling out a work book when applying for a job - a sample.

Changes in filling out work books

We asked Elena Vozhova, senior legal adviser at Legal Services Center LLC, to talk about what will change in the near future in the rules for filling out work books, and also to review the most common mistakes made by personnel service employees.

A work book is a special document that has a specific legal meaning. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2003 No. 225 approved the rules for maintaining and storing books, producing forms and providing them to employers. The Ministry of Labor has created special Instructions for filling out books (approved by resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation
dated October 10, 2003 No. 69). But in practice there are often non-standard situations,
Let's look at some of them.

Copy and duplicate of work book

An employee may need a copy of the work record at any time: for presentation
to the embassy or passport office. He will contact his HR department with this request. Please note that in this case the document must be certified by a HR employee. It is necessary to make copies from those pages of the document that have any records. The quality of copies must be satisfactory. You shouldn’t print a scan, and you shouldn’t change the scale when copying a book. After the last entry, a mark must be made on the copy of the page that will contain its serial number and the inscription “working”
Until now". It is also necessary to indicate the date of certification of the copy, full name and position of the certifier and put a stamp under the entry. Below the page of the copy you need to mark “the copy is correct”, indicate the full name of the personnel employee and the position of the certifier, time and signature. Such a record must accompany each page of the copy of the work.

In some cases, it may be necessary to issue a duplicate of the book. This is necessary, for example, if a document is lost. A duplicate can be issued if a record of dismissal, reinstatement of an employee at work, or loss of a work book by an employee upon the occurrence of emergency situations. In this case, the word “Duplicate” must be written in the upper right corner of the title page of the document. If you have a work book, you must indicate the following on its title page: “A duplicate was issued in return,”
In this case, you must enter the series and number of the duplicate. The new document must contain information about the employee’s general and continuous experience before arriving at the organization that issued the new document. Next, you need to write down information about the activities and incentives that were entered in the book during service at previous places of work. The total work experience can be recorded in total; it is necessary to indicate only the total number of years, months and days of activity.

Common Mistakes

If an error in the work record is made during the initial filling, then the work book must be destroyed without making any changes. Then you need to draw up a destruction act and fill out a new form. If an error is discovered when filling out the data by the second and subsequent employer, you will have to go to court to recognize that the work book belongs to the employee. This applies to errors in the employee’s first name, last name and patronymic, as well as other personal data.

The next item is not an error, but many people have difficulty filling out this item, which often leads to errors. So if personnel worker company makes an entry
about incomplete higher education, what should an HR specialist do in another organization after the employee completes his training? Based on the diploma, you need to create the following record of assignment of qualifications to the employee.

If an error was made in information about an employee, you must cross out the old entries
and introduce new ones based on the relevant documents. Please note: Strikethroughs are not permitted in job information. If an error was made in these fields, then you need to do the following: after the last entry in the appropriate section, make a note acknowledging the erroneous entry, and enter the correct data under the new serial number. If an error in the entry is discovered by a new employee who is responsible for making entries in work books, then the personnel officer makes an entry about the invalidity of the previous one, makes the correct note, and sets the date of correction. In this case, information about canceling an incorrect entry should be numbered with the next number in sequence.

If the dismissal of an employee is declared invalid, there are two options for filling out the books. First: a new entry is made in the employment record about hiring, as well as a note that the information about the dismissal is invalid. In the second case, the old entry should also be declared invalid, but the personnel employee records the dismissal with new reason. It would seem that the mistakes are so obvious that it is impossible to make them. However
Because of this, labor disputes often arise, bringing the parties to court. Therefore, I recommend reading it again and repeating it again. General requirements to fill out work books, and also carefully monitor changes in legislation and the official position of the Russian Ministry of Labor.

Ministry of Labor project

In February 2016, a discussion was held on the federal portal of regulatory acts about a bill developed by the Ministry of Labor “On amendments to the Rules for maintaining and storing work books, producing work book forms and providing them to employers.” The basis for the development of the bill was the adoption of Federal Law No. 82-FZ of April 6, 2015 “On Amendments to Certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation regarding the abolition of the mandatory seal of business companies.”
In accordance with the law, the presence of a seal in organizations has become optional - now it is a right, not an obligation. I'll tell you about some possible changes.

Paragraph one of paragraph 35 of the Rules

In the current version of the Rules, upon dismissal of an employee, all entries made in the work book during his work in the company are certified by the signature of the employer or the person responsible for maintaining work books, the seal and signature of the employee himself. The developers of the bill propose to use a seal only in cases where federal law provides for a company’s obligation to use a seal, or if information about the presence of a seal is contained in the organization’s charter. In other cases, the stamp is affixed if available. In this regard, the details of the work book and the insert must change - after the words “M. P." the word "(if available)" will be added.

Clause 39 of the Rules

The current version of paragraph 39 of the Rules provides for the affixing in the work book, when issuing each insert, of a stamp with the inscription “Insert issued” indicating the series and number. IN new edition It is proposed to make an appropriate note about this,
without putting a stamp in the work book.

Paragraph four of paragraph 41 of the Rules

The bill proposes to exclude the rules obliging employers to lace up, as well as seal with a wax seal or seal the receipt and expenditure book for recording forms of books and inserts in it and the book for recording the movement of work books and inserts in them, while leaving the rules on mandatory numbering and certification with the signature of the manager organizations. The planned date for entry into force of the bill is October 2016. However, to date no changes have been made to either Labor Code, nor in the resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation on work books and the resolution of the Ministry of Labor
about the rules of keeping books. So the bill has not yet acquired the force of federal law.

Cancel use

And one more very important question regarding work records. IN Lately The topic of abolishing books in the Russian Federation is often discussed. However, is this really necessary? Are the conditions created for such changes in the system? labor relations? For several years in a row, the question has been raised at the state level about the inappropriateness of keeping books, allegedly they are in modern world- a relic of the past. Experts comment on the situation as follows: the Ministry of Labor will not completely eliminate books from use; the department will most likely replace the document with electronic books.

According to opinion polls, employers are against eliminating books altogether. Since information about the previous places of work of an applicant for a vacant position is often important. Only from the work book can you find out: about breaks in the length of service; about dismissals;
about the regularity of changing jobs. But all this data can be reflected in an electronic database.

Special employees

When making an entry in the driver’s work record, keep in mind that these employees must provide the company with the following documents to issue the record book: passport, SNILS, military ID, driver’s license, education documents. For such employees, it is important to have a certificate of medical examination to ensure that the employee has the right to perform this work, although the information itself is not reflected in the employment record.
