Limit value for calculating sick leave by year. The maximum period and amount of sick leave. What funds are paid for sick leave

The settlement period is 2 (two) calendar years until the moment when the insured event occurs. This rule applies to all employees, except for female employees on maternity leave. They can replace one and or two years, counting on the next previous ones.
It is beneficial if the amount of the benefit increases if the calculation periods are changed.

In order to do what the employee must write a statement. In the application, you must indicate the coming years. If there are earlier years, you cannot accept such an application.

EXAMPLE OF CALCULATION OF HOSPITAL WITH CHANGE OF YEARS IN THE DESIGN PERIOD

In early 2015, the employee went on maternity leave, and then on leave to care.
for a child under 1.5 years old.

She went to work in 2017.

According to the hospital period, the illness was 7 days.

The employee went on maternity leave on January 15, 2015. It turns out that the period that we should take for the calculation - 2015 - 2016 - it did not work.

In the application for the calculation of the hospital employee asked to replace these two years 2013
and 2014. These years immediately precede the billing period. They can be used for calculation. Please note that these two years can be taken
"to replace". If the employee specifies 2012 and earlier, you cannot
take them into account as a replacement for the period.

You can explain to the employee which periods are best for calculating sick leave. Even if this is not your direct responsibility.

Day earnings for sick leave in 2017

Sick leave benefit is calculated from the employee's actual earnings
for the billing period. There is a minimum and maximum earnings that cannot be exceeded. The minimum wage cannot be less than the minimum wage.

Calculation of daily earnings if the actual earnings are less than the calculation of the minimum wage

If the employee's actual earnings are less than the earnings calculated from the minimum wage, for calculating daily earnings to calculate the sick leave benefit, you need to take the earnings calculated from the minimum wage and divide it by 730.

Calculation of daily earnings, if the actual earnings are more than the calculation of the minimum wage

To calculate the daily earnings of an employee, when calculating the amount of sick leave benefit, you need to take the actual earnings if it is more than the earnings calculated from the minimum wage.

Check the employee's insurance record

If the employee's insurance experience is more than 6 months, take the earnings for the billing period and divide it by 730. Remember that there is a maximum limit: in the calculation for 2016, you can take only 718,000 rubles. If the employee's earnings are higher, alas, you are still limited to 718 thousand rubles.

If the employee has less than 6 months of insurance, take the actual earnings and divide it by 730. Use the limit: for each full month of illness, do not prescribe more
1 minimum wage.

The minimum sick leave in 2017

Minimum size We will receive sick leave payments if we take into account the average daily earnings calculated on the basis of the minimum wage.

In 2017, it is: minimum wage × 12 months × 2 years \u003d 7,500 × 12 × 2 \u003d 180,000 rubles.

If an employee works on a shorter schedule, earnings must be proportionally reduced.

If you are working in a region where area factors apply, do not forget
apply them.

EXAMPLE OF CALCULATION OF HOSPITAL WHEN EMPLOYEE EARNINGS
LESS MINIMUM

The young specialist got a job for the first time in January 2017. After 9 months, he provided a sick leave for 7 (seven) calendar days. Before the illness, the employee worked full time.

Billing period (standard): 2015-2016 These are the years when the employee did not work yet. Therefore, to calculate his sick leave, we take the minimum wage: minimum wage × 12 months.
× 2 years \u003d 7500 RUB × 12 × 2 \u003d 180,000 rubles.

Now we divide the minimum wage by 730. 180,000 rubles. : 730 \u003d 246.57 rubles.

We check the experience of the employee. In the example, the experience is 9 months, which means that the employee is entitled to 60 of his earnings when paying sick leave. We count: 246, 57 rubles. × 60% \u003d 147.94 rubles. This amount must be paid to the employee for each day of illness.

We calculate the amount of disability benefit:

number of sick days × daily wages \u003d 147.94 rubles. × 7 days \u003d 1035, 58 rubles.

Maximum sick leave in 2017

The maximum amount of sick leave payments for the billing period, subject to contributions
in the FSS has not only the minimum, but also maximum limit.

for 2017 is - 718,000 rubles.

The maximum limit of average daily earnings for calculating sick leave benefits
for 2016 was 670,000 rubles.

If the actual earnings are more than the estimated base, equal to 718,000 rubles, then sick leave should be calculated according to the maximum value.

Let's calculate the maximum average daily earnings for sick leave benefits in 2017. So, in 2016 the maximum limit was 670,000 rubles, in 2017 - 718,000 rubles. This means the average daily earnings will be: (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles): 730 days. \u003d 1901.37 rubles.

Sick leave seniority ratio in 2017

For sickness benefits, daily earnings are multiplied by the number of sick days
and the seniority ratio.

Sick leave calculator in 2018

To calculate sick leave on our own, we will substitute the following simple formula into the calculator:

The amount of sick leave payments in 2018 \u003d (the amount of payments for 2 previous year / 730 days) * number of days of sick leave

It is worth noting that the amounts that are taken for calculations have limits, for cases of very large or very small wages.

For example, in 2017, this amount should have been no higher than 755 rubles, which are subsequently divided by 730 days.

3. Calculation of average earnings for 1 day for a given period. The calculation of the average daily earnings is very simple - all wages for the previous 2 years are added up and this amount is divided by 730 days.
4. Calculation of the employee's experience.
5. Calculation of the total amount of sick leave that the employee will receive in his hands.

You will find the calculation scheme and the sick leave calculator in the article above, but it is worth recalling that the calculation of the sick leave depends on the salary for 2 years and the length of service of the employee.

Here are some important points when calculating sick leaves for 2018:

• If a more than 8 years of experience, then the employee can receive 100% of his average income for the previous 2 years
• If a experience from 5 to 8 years, then for such employees the size of sick leave is provided for 80% of the average income
• If a experience less than 5 years, then the size of the sick leave will be 60% of the average salary for the previous 730 days (it is this period that is taken into account by law)
• If experience less than 6 months, then the amount of sick leave for such an employee will be equal to the Minimum Wage (Minimum Wage) for 2018.
• In the case of half-time work, or more correctly, part-time jobs, for such workers a sick leave is also laid. In this case, the sick leave is calculated according to the scheme: the amount of income for the billing period, divided by the number of days worked.

Sick leave scheme

An example of calculating sick leave in 2018

Situation:

• Glebov Gleb Glebovich was hired in 2007.
• His salary \u003d 15,000 rubles a month.
• He decided to take sick leave for 7 days

Sick leave calculation logic:

• At the time of 2018, YYY has more than 8 years of work experience, therefore, he should receive 100% of the average daily earnings calculated for the last 2 years of work.
• It is worth taking into account the norms of maximum earnings, if the charge. the fee is higher or lower than the norm, then the calculation will be carried out on the upper or lower bar (the sizes of the maximum and minimum possible sick leave are given in the article above).

Calculation algorithm:

• Since YYY's salary has not changed, it is logical that in 2016 and 2017 he earned the same amount.

16 and 17 years:15,000 rubles per month * 12 months a year \u003d 180,000 rubles. for 1 year

Therefore, for 2 years: 180,000 + 180,000 \u003d 360,000 rubles for the previous 2 years

• Now you need to calculate the average income for 1 working day: divide 360,000 by 730 \u003d 493.1 rubles per day.
• Since the YYY's experience is more than 8 years, the sick leave will be calculated based on 100% of the average earnings per day.
• YYY took 7 sick days in 2018, he earned 493.1 rubles a day in the previous 2 years, therefore, we simply multiply:

7 days of sick leave * 493.1 rubles of daily wages \u003d 3451.7 rubles.

If you have any difficulties in calculating the sick leave, then you can write about it in the comments to the article, the administration, or other users will certainly help you deal with the problem.

Calculation of the amount of payments

By general rule the amount of the temporary disability benefit (hereinafter referred to as the benefit) is determined on the basis of such values \u200b\u200bas the employee's insurance record and the average monthly earnings.

At the same time, the legislation established the following dependence (clause 1 of article 7 of the Federal Law "On Compulsory Social Insurance ..." dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ, hereinafter - the Federal Law on Social Insurance):

• if the insurance experience reaches 8 years or more, then the amount of sick leave payments is equal to the size of the average earnings of the insured person;
• if the experience is from 5 to 8 years, then the calculation of the corresponding payments is 0.8 of the average earnings of the worker;
• in other cases, sick leave will be paid in the amount of 0.6 of the average earnings.

Important! For a worker whose insurance experience is less than six months, the amount of sick leave payments should not exceed the minimum wage established at the time of calculating the benefit (hereinafter - the minimum wage) calculated for 1 month (see clause 6 of article 7 of the Federal Law on social insurance).

To calculate the average earnings, you need to perform the following procedure:

• add up all payments in favor of the employee, for which insurance contributions were accrued by the FSS of the Russian Federation, for 2 calendar years preceding the year of sick leave (see clause 1 of article 14 of the Federal Law on social insurance; clause 6 of the Regulations on the peculiarities of the order ..., approved. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 15, 2007 No. 375, hereinafter - Regulation No. 375);
  

  Note! When determining the named parameter, not only the official salary of the worker is taken into account, but also all other payments in his favor (from which insurance deductions were made), including all types of bonuses (see clause 14 of Regulation No. 375, clause 2 of Art. 14 of the Federal Law on social insurance).

• divide the received amount by 730 (clause 15 (1) of Regulation No. 375).

The maximum amount of sick leave payments

The legislator currently does not directly establish the maximum maximum amount of sick leave payments (see paragraph 2 of the letter of the FSS RF dated 14.12.2010 No. 02-03-17 / 05-13765).

Important! The average earnings used in determining the amount of the benefit should be taken into account for each year in an amount, the maximum amount of which is limited by the maximum size of the base for assessing contributions to the FSS of the Russian Federation for the year under consideration (clause 3.2 of article 14 of the Federal Law on social insurance).

The above limit value of the base for calculating the corresponding contributions to the FSS of the Russian Federation is set as a fixed amount for each year and is equal to (the details of the corresponding decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation are indicated in brackets):

• in 2015 - 670,000 rubles. (No. 1316 dated 04.12.2014);
• in 2016 - 718,000 rubles. (No. 1265 dated 26.11.2015);
• in 2017 - 755,000 rubles. (No. 1255 dated November 29, 2016);
• in 2018 - 815,000 rubles. (No. 1378 dated 15.11.2017);
• in 2019 - 865,000 rubles. (No. 1426 dated 28.11.2018).

Conclusion! Thus, it can be calculated that the maximum amount of temporary disability benefit in 2019 is 2,150.68 rubles. in 1 day.

The calculation was made according to the standard formula for determining the average earnings, taking into account the above limit values:

(755,000 + 815,000) / 730 \u003d 2,150.68 rubles.

The maximum allowance per month (30 days) will be 2,150, 68 x 30 \u003d 64,250, 40 rubles, per year (365 days) 2,150, 68 x 365 \u003d 784,998,2 rubles.

It turns out that the payment of benefits for 1 day of incapacity for work in an amount exceeding 2,150.68 rubles will not be reimbursed to the employer by the FSS of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the legislator does not regulate the total amount of money transfers to an employee on a sick leave.

Note! The allowance is paid for the entire period of the employee's sick leave, with the exception of certain cases regulated by Art. 6 of the Law on Social Insurance.

Minimum amount of disability benefit

The daily wage based on the minimum wage is calculated as follows:

RUB 11,280 × 24 months (i.e. for 2 years of the billing period) / 730 \u003d 370.85 rubles.

Example:

The employee's insurance experience is 3 years, which means that the coefficient 0.6 should be used as a multiplier. The amount of the benefit in this example for 1 day of incapacity for work will be:

RUB 370.85 × 0.6 \u003d 222.51 rubles.

Note! For persons whose work experience at the time of leaving for sick leave is less than six months, the amount of the benefit is also calculated on the basis of the minimum wage. The named payment cannot exceed the size of the minimum wage calculated for 1 month. In the territories for which regional coefficients are established, the amount of the allowance, adjusted for the indicated coefficients, should not exceed the minimum wage (clause 6 of article 7 of the Federal Law on social insurance).

Similarly, within the limits of the minimum wage calculated for 1 month (including taking into account regional coefficients), an allowance is paid to persons who:

• violated, in the absence of objective reasons, the regimen prescribed by the doctor, while on sick leave;
• did not come to the examination prescribed by the doctor (for no objective reason);
• have been injured or ill while under the influence of alcohol or toxic substances (Article 8 of the Federal Law on social insurance).

• add up all payments to the employee made within 2 years preceding the year of his leaving for sick leave;
• divide your result by 730.

If the employee did not carry out labor activities during the previous year of calculating the benefit for 2 calendar years, then it is necessary:

• multiply the size of the minimum wage established at the time of calculation by 24;
• the result of the product is divided by 730.

In both cases, the total amount of the benefit must also take into account the corresponding coefficient depending on the employee's insurance record.

Sick leave payments will continue to be made in 2018. Neither the billing period, nor the amount of payments taken into account, nor the process of calculating the average daily earnings have undergone changes. In order not to get confused in the legislative nuances and to receive all the payments due, it is worthwhile to study in detail the procedure for calculating them. Earlier, the media spread rumors about the curtailment of the maternity capital program, reduction and cutbacks.

A sick leave in 2018 will be issued due to temporary loss of working capacity on the following grounds:

• the presence of diseases or injuries that limit the employment of a citizen;
• installation of stimulants of life;
• limb prosthetics;
• getting under quarantine;
• treatment in a sanatorium;
• pregnancy.

To obtain a sick leave, you must go through the standard procedure of examination by a doctor, who determines the nature of the disease and sets the terms of treatment. The date of the beginning of the opening of the sick leave is the day of contacting the medical institution. The maximum period for issuing a sheet should not exceed 30 days, and initially a sick leave is issued for a maximum of 10 days. After a second examination, carried out during this time interval, the doctor decides to close or extend the treatment.

Current legislation provides for a significant extension of sick leave in such cases as:

• caring for a sick child - 30-60 days, based on the specifics of the disease;
• disability of varying degrees - no more than 5 months;
• pregnancy - 140 days (in the absence of complications).

The decision to extend sick leave due to a serious illness for up to 12 months can be made by a special medical commission. In particular, this practice is common for fractures or pathologies requiring long-term treatment.

The procedure for paying sick leave in 2018

The general scheme of sick leave payment in 2018 did not change: as before, the first 3 days from the date of issue of the sheet, payment is made from the employer's financial resources, and then from the Social Insurance Fund (FSS). If you took a sick leave to care for a child, then it is fully paid by the FSS from the first day of action.

Sometimes it will not be possible to get a sick leave, even if the signs of disability are obvious. The list of such cases includes:

• injury (illness) in the implementation of illegal actions;
• suspension of the employee from the duties performed;
• registration of sick leave after recovery;
• violation of the hospital regime by the patient;
• the employee works under a contract.

In all other cases, you have the right to count on payments in connection with temporary disability due to illness. When a sick leave is received during vacation, the number of days spent on treatment is added to the vacation, or, as agreed with the employer, is postponed to another date.

Calculation features

The calculation of the sick leave in 2018 is carried out according to a certain algorithm. It involves a number of sequential stages:

1. determination of the total income received over 2 years;
2. calculating the average income for 1 day;
3. keeping track of the number of days on sick leave;
4. application of the seniority ratio.

When calculating the sick leave in 2018, the total two-year income of the employee is taken "dirty", that is, excluding tax deductions and contributions to social funds. To determine the average income for 1 calendar day, the total amount of income is divided by 730, or 731 (depending on whether there was a leap year in reporting period). Dates of being on sick leave are always written on the sheet, so calculating the number of working days will not be a problem. If a citizen works according to the schedule, then the number of work shifts is taken into account.

The seniority ratio should be discussed separately. The general principle of accrual of funds during illness can be formulated as follows: the longer the length of service, the higher the payments. In 2018, the following rules will apply:

• work experience over 8 years - 100% of payments;
• 5-8 years - 80% of salary payments;
• 6 months-5 years - 60% of salary;
• less than 6 months -% is set based on the minimum wage.

It turns out that it is financially unprofitable to go on sick leave when you have worked for an employer for less than 6 months. Nevertheless, one should not neglect the deteriorated state of health and try to work in case of illness only for the sake of maintaining a salary.

An example of calculating sick leave 2018

Let's say you have to go on sick leave in 2018. Then, to make calculations, it is necessary to take into account the wages received in 2017 and 2016. If for 2017 the income "dirty" is 600,000 rubles, and for 2016 - 580,000 rubles, then summing up the values, we get: 600,000 + 580,000 \u003d 1,180,000 rubles. Next, we divide the resulting number by the number of days (in our case it is 730) and we get 1616, 44 rubles.

The indicator of the average earnings for 1 day is multiplied by the number of working days spent on sick leave (weekends and holidays are also taken into account). Suppose that their number is 8, and therefore the total number of payments for the time of disability will be 12,913.75 rubles. Do not forget to multiply the amount received by the seniority ratio. If it is equal to 6 years, then the calculation will look like this: 12,913.75 x 0.8 \u003d 10,331 rubles. Personal income tax will be deducted from these finances, which are charged to the salary. According to the law, the maximum amount of sick leave payments will not exceed 270,450 rubles.

Thus, the calculation of sick leave in 2018 will be governed by the same standards. By simple mathematical operations, you can determine the exact amount of payments and compare it with the value written on the payroll sheet.

For information on how to calculate sick leave, see the following video:

Temporary disability can occur for various reasons: illness, injury, quarantine, the need to care for a sick family member. Depending on this, the period for which the sick leave is issued and during which the employee is absent from the workplace is different.

Of course, not all employees are ready to go to the clinic and issue a sick leave, preferring to negotiate with their superiors and not go to work to get medical treatment. But such situations are not provided for by law. Therefore, we will not argue for how long a person may not appear at the workplace and how often one can ask for leave from work. It all depends on various circumstances.

But if an employee is seriously ill and decided to go to the clinic to get sick leave, then only the attending physician will be able to determine how long it takes a person to recover. Most often these are short periods - from several days to several weeks. But sometimes it takes longer to be treated. To find out the maximum period of sick leave in 2019, personnel officers should familiarize themselves with which issuance rules have been introduced.

This document says:

• on sick leave due to injury, poisoning or a complex illness, a citizen can be on treatment for no more than 10 months, and in some cases, the sick leave period can be extended to 12 months;
• if the reason for feeling unwell is pregnancy and forthcoming childbirth, there is no need to wait for the employee earlier than 140 days. In some cases, sick leave due to pregnancy and childbirth is extended for up to 156 or 194 days;
• women who decide to adopt someone else's child are granted sick leave for up to 70 calendar days, and if two or more babies are adopted - up to 110 days;
• a parent who has received a sick leave to care for a child may ask for a certificate of temporary disability for the entire period of the patient's stay on treatment;
• until complete recovery, sick leave is also provided for quarantine and prosthetics.

However, most often the sick leave is opened for a period of up to 15 days. An increase in the term is possible only by agreement with the commission of doctors. Moreover, both state and private clinics (provided that such commercial clinics have a license to carry out medical activities) work according to the same rules, therefore, without good reason, an employee will not be able to stop working for a long time.

Separately, we note that the employee does not always have the opportunity to promptly inform about the reasons for his absence and the opening of the sick leave. Therefore, it is better for personnel officers not to immediately put down alphabetic or numeric codes of failure to appear in the time sheet for disrespectful reasons. Of course have art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, from which it follows that absence from the workplace for more than 4 hours in a row can be considered as absenteeism. But situations are different, so in order to exclude corrections, you can put "НН" ("30") with a pencil, and when the employee explains the reasons for his absence, indicate the correct code - absenteeism ("PR", "24") or temporary disability ("B ", "nineteen").

A few more words about the sick employee. It is forbidden by law to fire him, even if the sick leave is long and he is absent from work for a very long time. In the case of women who are on sick leave in connection with pregnancy and childbirth, even criminal liability is provided for unjustified dismissal (Article 145 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). The only situation when the employer has the opportunity to terminate the employment contract with the sick employee is the liquidation of the organization (termination of the IP). All other cases are losing. Because in case of coercion to dismissal or dismissal on the initiative of the management, a person can complain to the court or labor inspection.

Is the entire term of the sick leave paid

Despite the fact that officials are actively promoting the issuance of sick leaves in electronic format, many organizations still continue to work only with paper sick leave certificates. Having received such a document, it is important to check whether it is genuine. It is also important that it is correctly drawn up, otherwise it will not be possible to compensate for the costs incurred in the form of paid benefits. All these points are described in detail in.

Now let's talk about whether the length of the sick leave affects the amount paid to employees. If we are talking about illness or injury of the citizen himself, then he will be compensated for the lost earnings for the entire period of absence. Exceptions are persons with disabilities. For them, a limitation of clause 3 of Art. 6: pay either 4 months of absence from work due to poor health, or 5 months a year.

If a sick leave is issued in connection with caring for a sick child, it is important to take into account certain rules when calculating payments. In particular, from April 10, 2018, the following procedure was introduced: the possible period of sick leave is limited only by the period of treatment prescribed by the doctor, but the payment of benefits is carried out within:

• 120 days during the year if a parent is caring for a sick disabled person under 18 years of age. It is permissible that parents or other relatives who have the right to take care of a child draw up sick leaves one by one, and each of them received benefits during the period specified by law;
• 60 days a year, if sick leave and benefits are due in connection with caring for a preschooler (up to 7 years old), and if the child's illness is complex, then no more than 90 days a year will be paid;
• 45 days during the year if a parent is caring for a sick family member between the ages of 7 and 15;
• the entire period of absence will be paid if the sick leave is open for caring for a child with HIV or cancer.

If, for some reason, the employer makes a mistake and counts the sick leave more than the prescribed amount, no fine or other punishment will follow. However, by law, companies are obliged to pay their employees benefits only for the first three days of illness, and for the remainder of the illness, the Social Insurance Fund, which receives monthly contributions from employers, compensates for the costs. In the event of an overpayment, the difference will be borne by the company that incorrectly calculated the amount of the benefit. The FSS will refuse to compensate (return) it, and this must be taken into account when calculating sick leave benefits.

What else determines the maximum sick leave in 2019

Figured out how long they pay. But the maximum amount of sick leave in 2019, according to the law, is also limited and depends not only on the number of sick days, but also on other factors, namely on the length of service of the employee and the maximum base for calculating social insurance premiums in specific periods.

So, the maximum sick leave payment in 2019 is calculated based on the limit values \u200b\u200bof 2016 and 2017. - 718,000 and 755,000 rubles, respectively. The maximum daily earnings taking into account these indicators will be: (718,000 + 755,000) / 730 \u003d 2017.80 rubles, where 730 is the number of days in the two previous years.

2017.80 rubles is the maximum amount per day of illness that an employee with more than 8 years of experience can count on.

For an employee with work experience of 5 to 8 years, the upper limit of the allowance is less - 2017.80 × 80% \u003d 1614.24 rublesfor one day , since this category of workers is entitled to only 80% of their earnings.

If the employee, according to the work book, has worked less than 5 years, then the allowanceon sick leave he is entitled to 60% of his daily wages. In this case, the most that he can get for a day of illness is 1210.68 rubles (2017.80 × 60%).

Concerning minimum amount benefits, it is determined by the minimum wage at the time of illness. This indicator is used in cases where the employee has a short work experience or the calculated amount of the benefit for one day is small. In particular, from 01.05.2018 at the federal level, the minimum wage was set at 11,163 rubles. Please note, in accordance with clause 11.1 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 15, 2007 No. 375, it is necessary to use the federal indicator when calculating sick leave. The only exceptions are calculations in the regions for which regional coefficients to wages... In these areas, the allowance must be calculated taking into account these coefficients.

The amount of sick leave benefits, based on the minimum wage in the amount of 11,163 rubles, for one day is:

(11 163 × 24 months) / 730 days \u003d 367 rubles.

As you understand, the final amount will depend on the length of service of a particular employee, calculated from the entries in the work book, and the duration of the illness (in calendar days).

What to do if the allowance is higher when calculating

In some cases, workers have a higher average daily income, so it turns out that their sick leave benefit should be higher. The employer, of course, can pay it, but it will not be possible to reimburse the money from the FSS. The fund will be able to return only that part that does not exceed the limit.

If your organization is registered in the region where the pilot project "Direct payments from the Social Insurance Fund" is being carried out, you will not need to calculate the benefit at all. Based on the data on the average salary, length of service, and the hospital itself, the Foundation will calculate everything on its own. The list of subjects that participate in the program is listed in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 21.04.2011 No. 294. Now sick leave is calculated and paid according to the new rules in more than 30 regions.
