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 use the document that has the greatest legal force– 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 are not made in the labor record, with the exception of dismissal. But records about the establishment of continuous service or non-inclusion of certain time periods in the continuous service are made 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 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 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation” and the signature of the owner of the book;
  • Column No. 4 - the basis according to which the entry was made - order, protocol, decision of the 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, 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 in between last page and the cover (although regarding the place where precise instructions are sewn into regulations No). 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 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 a part-time job, indicating the name structural unit organization, job title, 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 to 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 first need to write the full name of the document, then its date, and then the document number);
  • affixing the seal of the enterprise’s HR department after recording the dismissal (according to current rules, after the entry 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 entries is incorrect, then it can be corrected only by declaring the entire entry under the corresponding number invalid, and then putting the number under which the entry should have originally been, and in column No. 3 write: “The entry numbered (indicate the 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

HR department employees are often 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 entry;
  • 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.

TO special occasions This may also 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, pension fund will not count the time spent working at this enterprise as experience. The same applies to renaming the position in which the employee works. If there were changes in staffing table, they must also be reflected.
