Hiring a pensioner under a fixed-term employment contract

Concluding a fixed-term contract only because of a person’s age is unacceptable. This ruling was made by the Constitutional Court in 2020.

IMPORTANT

If an employer forces a person to enter into a fixed-term contract only because the citizen is retired, he violates labor rights, the principles of equality and discriminates against the applicant for the position.

The grounds for concluding a type of agreement are enshrined in Article 59 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The list includes the following features:

• a person carries out seasonal work;
• the citizen replaces the main employee;
• labor activity will be carried out abroad;
• a citizen is hired for temporary work, the duration of which does not exceed 2 months;
• the pensioner was hired to perform actions that are not related to the main activities of the company;
• the employee was hired to carry out specific work (cooperation with the person ends at the moment of signing the certificate of completion of work).

If none of them are available in the current situation, the employment of a citizen on well-deserved rest under a fixed-term contract can only be carried out with the consent of the person wishing to get a job. In the classic situation, a permanent employment contract is drawn up with a pensioner.

Attention

If an employer has entered into a fixed-term agreement without the person’s consent, the supervisory authority, having learned about this, will reclassify the agreement as permanent. It is impossible to conclude a fixed-term contract without grounds. However, the rules generally apply if a person receives an early pension. In a classic situation, the employer can still ask the applicant for the position to sign a fixed-term employment contract.

Hobby as income

In retirement, you can finally focus on your favorite activities. And if you want, then turn your hobby into a small business.

1. Horticulture

Those who love to grow vegetables and fruits can make good money during the season. Each city market has special places for selling products.

The downside is that the work is seasonal, but it also brings income. In winter, you can switch to another job. And if it is possible to grow crops in greenhouses, then you can sell fresh fruits in early spring.

BY THE WAY! In winter, you can sell home canned food, dried mushrooms, etc.

1. Knitting, embroidery

Products made with your own hands and with love can turn into a profitable business in retirement. Discover new facets of talent.

You can sell ready-made items through online stores and gain clients, and then invite friends who know how to knit, sew and embroider.

Remuneration for a pensioner

A pensioner's salary is calculated on a general basis. Its size depends on:

• employee qualifications;
• volume of manufactured products;
• time worked.

An employer does not have the right to reduce an employee's salary because of his age. This will be a gross violation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. If a pensioner discovers that he is not being paid extra, he can go to court to restore his violated rights.

Where to look for vacancies?

First, decide where you would like to work. Take into account age, health status and real possibilities, schedule. Pay attention to whether you need a small part-time job or a full-time job.

ADVICE! After this, you need to find contacts of employers and try to contact them directly.

We go straight to employers

Try the simplest and most accessible options first, and then you can move on to more complex ones.

• If you are looking for a higher paying vacancy that requires special education (accountant, merchandiser), then you should worry about your resume.
• You will need to convince the management of the company or company that you are exactly the experienced and qualified worker they need. You can talk about your experience, merits, regalia.
• Some employers do not mind at all if a person who knows a lot, is responsible, does not have small children, and sometimes agrees to work unscheduled, will work.

We are looking through friends

This option will help you find a part-time job and at the same time avoid scammers. In addition, good recommendations may well be a help in finding a permanent and well-paid job.

IMPORTANT! There are a large number of scammers thriving on the Internet. Be careful, because even when looking for a job you can get into trouble.

Methods of fraud

There are many ways of fraud in the labor market. And it’s even easier to deceive a pensioner who is not too familiar with modern realities.

• Payment for a vacancy.

Today you can find “commercial employment centers” that will definitely find you a high-paying job. You just have to pay for it.

In fact, they are not aware of any secret vacancies. They take ordinary newspapers like “Hand-to-Hand” and write out offers for you from there.

There is another version of this deception. You are offered a specific vacancy that suits you completely. But to find out management contacts, you need to send an SMS (paid, of course). Naturally, you won't get any real work.

• Guaranteed employment.

If you come across such a phrase, run away from there and be sure that it is a scam. Fraudsters ask for money for 100% employment.

BY THE WAY! The device cannot be guaranteed to work. It is the employer and no one else who decides whether to hire you or not.

• Offer to study.

You came to apply for a vacancy with good pay, but they tell you: “Yes, we are hiring you, but first you need to undergo training or pass a test.” Of course, for a fee.

You may also be forced to pay for educational materials or lectures. They may offer to buy a certificate from them, etc.

You can't trust such scammers. They have one goal - to get as much money from you as possible. They will not offer you any job.

• Jobs like “typewriter” or “product assembler at home.”

There is no work of such a plan to date. It is offered exclusively by deceivers.

Step-by-step instructions for hiring a pensioner

The procedure for hiring a pensioner does not differ from the standard one. In order for a citizen on well-deserved rest to be able to start working, the following actions will be required:

1. Select a company that requires employees and go through an interview. If the parties have reached an agreement, an application for employment of the pensioner is submitted.

Dismissal of a pensioner

If a pensioner wants to complete his work activity and retire, dismissal will be carried out on a general basis. However, the employer will have to comply with a number of nuances. So, if a pensioner resigns of his own free will, he may not work for 2 weeks. This rule is enshrined in Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

If the employer is the initiator of termination of the employment relationship, it must be taken into account that he does not have the right to fire a person because he has reached retirement age. This is reflected in Article 3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. If a violation has occurred, the citizen can go to court. Typically, in this situation, the claims are satisfied, and the employee is reinstated at his previous place of work. If the company is liquidated, the dismissal of the pensioner is carried out on a general basis.

For your information

If a person cannot cope with his responsibilities, the employer may offer him a change of position or switch to part-time work.
