Changes to the instructions for maintaining work books. Accounting for the movement of work books and inserts in them

The work book stores all the information about labor activity employee and is used to determine the length of his service. The currently valid forms of work book and insert are established in the Post. No. 225 of April 16, 2003. How to fill out correctly work book, 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.

employee's passport (or other identification document);
diploma of education;

Job details

The serial number of the entry (from No. 1 onwards).
Hiring date and other events.
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

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.
Acquisition of a second profession, obtaining a rank, and advanced training are also reflected in this section.
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.
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 awarded to him, provided for by internal regulations companies 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. On title page(or cover) of the main book a stamp is placed indicating 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.

Today, the registration of work books is regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 225 “On work books” and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 69 “On approval of instructions for filling out work books”. But these regulations contain quite a lot of contradictions, so if controversial situations arise, you need to apply the document that has the greatest legal force - the Labor Code. So, to help HR officers, there are a few instructions on how to fill out work books.

General rules for filling out a work book

Let's start with the fact that a document is kept for each employee of the organization who has worked for more than five days and for whom this work is the main one. Such employees also include seasonal and temporary workers, as well as freelancers, if they are subject to social insurance. Work books of part-time workers are kept at their main place of work, and if they are lost due to the fault of the employer, a duplicate is issued.

All entries must be made in full (without abbreviations), have their own serial number in the section, and all dates must be written only in Arabic numerals. In this case, the number is written with two digits (for example, 03, 24 or 15), the month with two digits (for example, 01, 10 or 11), and the year with four digits (for example, 2014).

When hiring an employee, the authenticity of his work record is checked according to comparative characteristics and compliance of the data on the first page with the passport data (they must completely match). In addition, the title page must bear the seal of the first organization in which the employee worked. Without a seal, the book is considered invalid. If violations or absence of a work book are detected, the employer creates a new one. And if the last record of the new employee’s work is not closed (that is, there is no record of dismissal from the previous place of work), then an appointment record cannot be made, since there is no legal confirmation of the dismissal from the previous place of work.

Records of penalties imposed on an employee, with the exception of dismissal, are not made in the labor record. But here are the records about the establishment of continuous service or non-inclusion in continuous experience certain time periods are entered in the prescribed manner.

Sections of the work book

There are only three sections:

information about the employee;
information about work;
information about awards.

The first section is located on the title page and contains information about the employee: last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, information about education and profession (specialty). All this data is indicated in full, without abbreviations, initials, based on the passport and educational documents. After filling out the title page, the employee checks the accuracy and signs. The title page is also signed by the HR employee who is responsible for maintaining work records. The official seal of the organization is placed at the bottom of the sheet. The second section is filled with information about the work, where records of admission, transfer and dismissal are made, indicating the terms, positions and names of organizations. Each entry is confirmed by the order number and the stamp or seal of the organization. In the awards section, all awards and incentives of the employee are recorded, indicating the date, achievements and awards, as well as the document on the basis of which the entry was made.

If any of the sections ends, the HR department employee draws up a special insert in the work book.

Step-by-step filling instructions

When hiring an employee, a representative of the HR department must check that he has a work book and that it is filled out correctly. If such a document does not exist, then it must be created. The Instructions approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 69 will tell you how to fill out a work book correctly, but in short, you need to proceed as follows:

Step 1: Check or complete the cover page

The title page should contain the following information:

last name, first name and patronymic in accordance with passport data;
date of birth written entirely in Arabic numerals;
education, for example, “secondary vocational” or “higher vocational”;
specialty (indicated in the nominative case, for example, “accountant”);
date of completion (it must be no later than five days from the date of registration for the first place of work);
owner's signature;
signature and transcript of the signature of the HR department employee;
seal of the organization.

Step 2. Making an entry

After checking or filling out the cover page, you can begin entering information about hiring. This is done within the employee's first five working days. First (before the text itself), you must either put a stamp of the organization, which indicates all its data, or write them by hand. Then you can proceed to filling out the fields:

column No. 1 - serial number - is placed under the stamp of the enterprise or its name and opposite the entry on admission (dismissal, transfer);
column No. 2 – date – it is filled in in Arabic numerals and fully corresponds to the date of hiring (transfer, dismissal), regardless of what day the work book is filled out; in this case, the day of acceptance is considered to be the date specified in the employment contract, and the date of dismissal is the last working day;
Column No. 3 – information about hiring (transfer, dismissal), renaming the enterprise, department without abbreviations, for example, “dismissed due to the expiration of the employment contract, paragraph 2 of part one of Article 77 Labor Code Russian Federation" and the signature of the owner of the book;
Column No. 4 – the basis on which the entry was made – order, protocol, decision general meeting, its number and date, for example, “Order dated June 12, 2010 No. 148-ok.”

Step 3. Awards

In the section “Information about awards” only entries about honorary titles are entered, state awards ah, awarding certificates of honor, badges or diplomas, which are provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, the organization’s charter or a collective agreement. In this case, the entry is made in the same way as when filling out the “Job Information” section. That is:

in column No. 1 – the serial number of the entry
in column No. 2 – date
in column No. 3 - type of award, by whom and for what merits the employee was awarded
in column No. 4 - the basis (decree, order, resolution).

It is worth noting that cash bonuses and valuable gifts are not included in the awards section.

Filling the insert

If all the pages of one of the sections are completed, then an insert is sewn into the book, which is maintained and filled out according to the same rules. The insert, like the work book, is a strict accounting form and when it is issued to an employee, a stamp “Insert issued” is placed in the book indicating its number (an entry cannot be made by hand, and the stamp is usually placed on the title page, but this can also be done on the double page covers).

The insert itself without a work book is considered invalid, and it is customary to sew it between the last page and the cover (although there are no exact instructions in the regulations regarding the place of sewing). The page numbering in the insert continues the page numbering. And the organization’s seal must be placed on the title page of the insert.

Part-time records

By law, the work book is filled out in the organization where the person works as the main employee. It is not necessary to make records of part-time work. But at the request of the employee they can be added. How to fill out a work book in this case? This should be done by an employee of the personnel department of the enterprise where the employee is the main one, and records are made on the basis of documents that the employee provides from the place of part-time work. If an employee works part-time at the same enterprise, then the entry is made on the basis of internal documents. The procedure for making an entry is as follows:

Column No. 1 – indicates the serial number of the entry;
Column No. 2 – indicates the date of admission to part-time work;
Column No. 3 – an entry is made about hiring part-time work, indicating the name of the structural unit of the organization, the name of the position, profession, indicating qualifications;
Column No. 4 – indicates the document with the number and date on the basis of which the entry was made.

If an employee resigns from a part-time job, the dismissal is recorded in the same manner, on the basis of a document from the place of part-time work.

Corrections to entries on the title page

Sometimes it becomes necessary to make corrections to the information on the title page. For example, if after marriage a woman changed her last name or vice versa, after a divorce she returned her maiden name. What does the Instruction for maintaining work records say about this? The answer is simple: the previous data is carefully crossed out with one line and new ones are written down, while all changes must be made on the basis of documents (passport, marriage certificate, divorce certificate, birth certificate, change of surname, name, patronymic, date of birth). A link to the relevant document, which the employee provides to the HR department, is made on the inside cover of the work book and certified by the seal of the organization and the signature of the manager or responsible person.

But there are cases when the employee’s personal data on the title page is indicated with an error (instead of “Natalia” it is written “Natalia” or a mistake was made in the date of birth or surname) and this is only found out when the employee gets a job new job and the HR employee, checking the documents, finds a discrepancy. In this case, according to the Instructions, you need to contact your previous employer, who must ensure that errors or identified inaccuracies are corrected.

Common mistakes when filling out a work book

The audit often reveals errors made by HR employees when filling them out. Among the most popular:

incorrectly specified last name, first name or patronymic;
incorrectly recorded date of birth (when filling out the title page before November 11, 2003, the month of birth was indicated in words, and after November 11, 2003 - in Arabic numerals);
lack of information about education (the column remains empty, and information about education is underlined at the bottom with one line); if a person first had one education and then received another, information about him is recorded next to the first one (in this case, a link to the document on the double page may not be made);
information about education is incomplete;
profession or specialty is not indicated;
the date of completion is not indicated;
the owner's signature is missing;
there is no organization seal on the title page;
information about hiring was entered after six or more working days;
violation of the order of indicating the basis for making an entry (in column No. 4 you must first write the full name of the document, then its date, and then the document number);
affixing the seal of the enterprise’s human resources department after recording the dismissal (according to the current rules, after the recording there must be the official seal of the organization);
absence after the last entry of the employee’s signature confirming that he has read and agrees with all entries;
entering information about work into the awards section.

Post corrections

According to the Instructions, crossing out inaccurate entries in the sections “Information about work” and “Information about awards” is not allowed. How to correct an entry in a work book? An incorrect entry should be invalidated and the correct entry should be made.

If the numbering of records is incorrect, then it can be corrected only by declaring the entire record under the corresponding number invalid, and then putting the number under which the record should have originally been, and in column No. 3 write: “The record by number (specify number) is invalid.” After this, you need to repeat the recording again under a different number.

Destruction of damaged forms

Outdated or damaged forms of work books or inserts must be destroyed. This must be done according to the rules for working with strict accounting forms, creating a special commission that will confirm the destruction procedure by drawing up an appropriate act. The act indicates the reason for the destruction of the forms, as well as their serial numbers. All members of the commission sign the act, and the act is approved by the head of the organization.

Special cases

Often, HR department employees are faced with the question: how to reflect information that a certain period is not included in the continuous work experience. This happens if a citizen is assigned, for example, correctional labor. In this case, the following entry is made in the work book:

column No. 1 – serial number of the record;
Column No. 2 – date of entry;
column No. 3 – entry in the form: “Work time from (day, month, year) to (day, month, year) is not counted towards continuous work experience”;
Column No. 4 - indicates the basis for the entry (order, order of the employer, which is issued in accordance with the ruling or court verdict), its date and number.

Special cases include the need to make a record of assigning a new rank, category, class to an employee, as well as the establishment of a second profession. Relevant entries are made in the “Work Information” section in the prescribed manner. A sample of filling out a work book with similar wording can be found below.

If during the employee’s work in the organization its name is changed, an entry about this is also made in the work book. This is very important point, since after changing the name of the enterprise, the seal will change and if an employee is fired, a new seal with a new name will be placed under the record. And if there is no record of renaming, the pension fund will not count the time spent working for this enterprise. The same applies to renaming the position in which the employee works. If there have been changes in the staffing table, these must also be reflected.

4. Filling out information about the award

5. Filling out information about dismissal (termination of employment contract)

The date of dismissal (termination of an employment contract) is considered the last day of work, unless otherwise provided by federal law, an employment contract or an agreement between the employer and employee.

For example, when an employment contract with an employee is terminated due to a reduction in staff, October 10, 2003 is determined to be the last day of his work. The following entry must be made in the employee’s work book: in column 1 of the “Work Information” section, the serial number of the entry is entered, in column 2 the date of dismissal is indicated (10.10.2003), in column 3 the entry is made: “Dismissed due to a reduction in the number of employees of the organization, paragraph 2 of article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation", column 4 indicates the date and number of the order (instruction) or other decision of the employer on dismissal.

For example: “Dismissed by agreement of the parties, paragraph 1 of Article 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation” or “Dismissed at his own request, paragraph 3

For example: “Dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization, paragraph 1 of Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation” or “Dismissed due to termination of access to state secrets, paragraph 12 of Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.”

For example: “Dismissed due to non-election to a position, paragraph 3 of Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation” or “The employment contract was terminated due to the death of an employee, paragraph 6 of Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.”

For example: “Dismissed due to repeated gross violation of the charter of an educational institution within a year, paragraph 1 of Article 336 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation” or “Dismissed due to reaching the age limit established for holding a public position in the civil service, paragraph 2 (1) of the article 25 of the Federal Law of July 31, 1995 N 119-FZ “On the Fundamentals of the Civil Service of the Russian Federation.”

5.6. When an employment contract is terminated at the initiative of an employee for reasons that are associated by law with the provision of certain benefits and benefits, a record of dismissal (termination of the employment contract) is made in the work record book indicating these reasons.

6. Features of filling out information about dismissal (termination of an employment contract) and hiring (appointment) in connection with the transfer of an employee to another permanent job with another employer (to another organization) or his transfer to an elective job (position)

When hired to a new place of work, an entry is made in the employee’s work book in column 3 of the “Information about work” section provided for in paragraph 3.1 of these Instructions, indicating that the employee was accepted (assigned) by way of transfer.

At a new place of work, after indicating the full name of the elected body, as well as the abbreviated name of the elected body (if any), in column 3 of the “Work Information” section of the work book, an entry is made about what job (position) the employee was elected to, and in the column 4 indicates the decision of the elected body, the date and number of its adoption.

7. Features of filling out a duplicate work book

7.1. A duplicate of the work book is filled out in accordance with sections 1 - 6 of these Instructions.

7.2. If the employee had already worked before joining this organization (for this employer), then when filling out a duplicate work book in the section “Information about work” in column 3, first of all, a record is made about the total and/or continuous work experience as an employee up to admission to this organization (to this employer), confirmed by relevant documents.

The total work experience is recorded in total, that is, the total number of years, months, days of work is indicated without specifying which employer, in what periods of time and in what positions the owner of the work book worked in the past.

After this, the total and/or continuous work experience, confirmed by properly executed documents, is recorded for individual periods of work in the following order: column 2 indicates the date of employment; Column 3 records the name of the organization (employer) where the employee worked, as well as the structural unit and job (position), specialty, profession indicating the qualifications for which the employee was hired.

If the submitted documents confirm that the employee was transferred to another permanent job in the same organization (with the same employer), then a corresponding entry is also made about this.

The procedure for filling out a work book is the sequence of actions for making entries in the employee’s main document, which reflects the fact of employment and confirms his work experience. Pension payments are calculated based on the entries in this document, so it is important to correctly enter all entries into this document. The employer is responsible for errors made when entering data. We'll tell you how to fill out a work book and give you a sample of how to fill out a work book for 2019.

What regulations should you follow?

First of all, it is necessary to mention that filling out work books is regulated Article 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, two other fundamental documents need to be mentioned.

The sample and rules for filling out a work book have been approved Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated October 10, 2003 No. 69. It details the nuances of entering information into a document and correcting incorrect entries.

In addition to the instructions that answer the question: how to correctly make entries in the work book (2019) - there are also Rules for maintaining and storing work books, approvedDecree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 16, 2003 No. 225.

Who is responsible for the correct design

The filling instructions contain the following rules for making entries:

dates are entered in Arabic numerals in the format “05/17/2019”;
use a fountain pen, helium pen or ballpoint pen in black, blue or purple;
do not use abbreviations;
do not cross out entries when correcting them (does not apply to the title page), under the incorrect entry they write “entry number __ is invalid”, and enter the correct one below;
FULL NAME. write in full, without replacing with initials, date of birth - based on the passport;
information about profession and education also based on relevant documents;
The employee's signature must certify the information.

Sample of filling out a work book 2019

The work book form was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 16, 2003 No. 225.

The samples will show how to fill out a work book (2019) section by section and what the title page should look like.

The document contains three parts:

title part - basic information about the employee;
information about work - information about hiring, transfer and dismissal;
information about awards.

Let's look at how to fill out each part of the book correctly.

Filling out the title page

The title page must be prepared with particular care. Any blots or inaccuracies render the book form unusable.

This labor page should contain the following information:

FULL NAME. owner;
date of his birth;
education (secondary, specialized secondary, higher);
name of the profession, as in the diploma;
date of opening of the book;
signature of the person filling out the form;
organization seal (if any).

This page is filled out only according to the documents provided by the employee. This must be a passport, SNILS, education document (usually a diploma), marriage certificate (divorce).

The title page of the work book (2019) looks like this:

Section "Job Information"

Each page of this section consists of 4 columns:

Serial number of the current record.
Date of hiring, firing, awards and other events.
Information about the organization, job title and department. The facts of hiring, dismissal, and transfers to another position are also recorded here.
Confirmation of the entry made - the name, date and number of the order according to which the entry was made.

Information in this section must be included within 7 days from the date of issuance of the order on hiring, transfer to another position, awards, incentives, and so on.

The reorganization of the enterprise is also reflected in this section of the work book. These records will help explain the different seals for hiring and firing.

There is no need to talk about how important it is to correctly fill out the work book (2019) - after all, the size of the employee’s future pension and other social benefits may depend on this

When transferring

The transition from one position to another is also reflected in this section of the work book.

There are two types of translations:

internal - an employee changes positions while in the same organization;
external - the employer changes. In this case, the previous employment contract is terminated and a new one is concluded.

When making an internal transfer, in the third column of the book, write “transferred to position...” and indicate the new position and the name of the department, if it has changed.

When transferring externally, the number and date of the order for dismissal from one organization and the number and date of the order for employment in another organization are indicated. In both cases, you must indicate the employee's position.

When working part-time

Information about part-time work can also be entered here. An entry in the book is also made on the basis of documents provided from another organization. That is, the employee brings a certificate to the main place of work, which must contain:

full and abbreviated name of the organization;
name of the employee's position;
date of hire;
organization details.

Along with the certificate, the employee submits an application written in free form and a certified copy of the order of another organization that he has been hired. If these documents are completed correctly, the head of the enterprise, which is considered the main job, issues an order to make an additional entry in the work book. The wording can be seen by opening our sample on how to correctly fill out a work book when combining.

Upon dismissal

This section of the book is filled out in the same way upon dismissal.

The third column indicates the grounds for dismissal, and the fourth column contains the details of the order on the basis of which the employment contract was terminated.

These entries in the work book must be certified by a seal (if any) and the signature of an employee of the HR department. If the enterprise does not have a personnel department or one responsible for preparing and maintaining work books, then all this must be carried out by the head of the organization.

Section "Information about awards"

Another section of the work book that must be completed is the section on awards. This includes information about the following events:

presentation of state awards (as well as honorary titles);
awarding diplomas, certificates, medals, orders, insignia;
labor incentives prescribed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or in the internal regulations of the organization.

The section of the book is filled out similarly to the previous one:

Column 1 - serial number of the entry;
2 columns - date of award;
3 columns - company name, position and type of award;
4 columns - details of the order on the basis of which the award took place.

Making corrections

Over time, the data specified in the work book may change. For example, a woman gets married and changes her last name, or an employee receives additional education. How to make changes to the book?

If there is a change in last name, first name, patronymic, then the existing entry is crossed out with one line, and the new information. Its authenticity is confirmed by the name and number of the document that was the basis for the changes (for example, a marriage certificate). New data is certified by the signature of the responsible employee who made the correction, a transcript of the signature and the seal of the organization (if any).

When assigning a new classification in education, the existing entry is crossed out with one line, and a new one is written above.

When renaming an organization, corrections are made as follows:

Columns 1 and 2 remain empty.
Column 3 records the change in the name of the organization. In this case, the previous and new names are indicated in full and short form.
Column 4 contains the details of the document on the basis of which the name was changed.

If a mistake was made or an incorrect entry was made while filling out the work book, it cannot be crossed out.

After an incorrect entry, the number of the next one in order is placed. In column 2 the date of amendments is indicated. Column 3 indicates “Record No.... shall be considered invalid.” This should be followed by the correct entry.

There are two options for filling out column 4:

re-indicate the date and number of the order that became the basis for the invalid entry;
indicate the number and date of the order issued to make the corrections.

After all the blank pages in the work report are filled out, the data will be entered on an insert form, which the employee additionally purchases. The insert is filled out by the employer in the same way as the labor document:

the employee’s personal information is filled in;
the date is entered;
current information regarding the employee is filled in;
records are certified by the signature and seal of the organization.

The form is sewn at the end of the completed work book. A stamp indicating the issue of the insert indicating its series and number is placed on the title page of the main document.

The number of inserts that an employee may have is not established by law.

Like the labor document, the design of the insert also has its own requirements:

the cover must be intact;
error correction is unacceptable;
the insert has no legal force without the labor itself;
if changes are made to the work itself, they must be included in each inserted form.

Duplicate work book

A duplicate is issued if the work document is lost or damaged. If at this time the employee had the document, then to restore it he must contact the last employer. In order for a duplicate to be issued, you need to submit a corresponding application, which must be reviewed within no more than 15 days. Additionally, the employee may be asked for documents indicating his previous places work.

In the new work report, “Duplicate” should be written on the title page at the top. Further filling occurs as standard. All information about previous places of work is filled out based on the documents provided by the employee.

If the loss or damage occurred due to the fault of the employer, then all work to restore the information falls on him.

How to certify a copy

There are often cases when an employee requires a copy of the employment document. To receive it, you need to write an application addressed to the employer. The application form is not established, but it is advisable to adhere to the established rules of execution:

in the upper right corner of the sheet - data of the manager and employee;
in the center - the word “Statement”;
then the text of the petition itself (in our case, the text may be as follows: “On the basis of Article 62 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, I ask you to give me a copy of the work book, certified in the prescribed manner”);
date and signature.

After acceptance of the application, a certified copy of the work report must be prepared and issued within three days.

It is important to remember that on July 1, 2018, the new GOST R 7.0.97-2016 “National Standard of the Russian Federation” came into force. System of standards on information, librarianship and publishing. Organizational and administrative documentation. Requirements for document preparation”, which made minor changes to the procedure for certifying a copy of the work book.

To do everything right, you need to adhere to a certain algorithm:

Make copies of all completed sheets. In this case, copies must be single-sided.
Number and stitch the sheets. On the back of the last sheet, you need to seal the ends of the threads with a paper sticker, on which you write how many sheets there are.
Each copied page must be certified (if not stapled into one file). This must be done by a person who is granted such a right by local regulations. If there is no such person, then the general director must certify the copies.
Then the person certifying the document writes “True”, puts down his position, signature with transcript and date. You can put the seal of the organization (if there is one), but the law does not oblige you to do this.
You also need to add one more entry regarding the original work report: “The original document is located in (name of organization) in file No. ___ for ___ year” (this is written when the employee needs a copy to provide it to a third-party organization).
Sometimes an employee asks to add “Currently working.” This is not prohibited by law (banks usually ask).
