"The law provides for the opportunity for citizens to apply to the PFR authorities with a statement to include in their individual personal account all information about labor activity for the periods of work until January 1, 2020," the Ministry of Labor quotes the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper.

It is noted that records of seniority should be contained in a paper work book.

It is clarified that in order to enter the entire length of service in the electronic work record, a personal appeal with a paper work record will be required at any branch of the PFR.

Earlier it was reported that employers in Russia from 2023 can begin to issue work books of a new type.
