According to the Republic Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance, employees from at least ten categories have the right to benefited work experience in Serbia, and that number is significantly higher.

Beneficial length of service implies payment of increased contributions for FPD, earlier retirement, and thus longer use of pension in relation to the average pensioner. However, only persons who work in jobs that are extremely difficult and dangerous to health have the right to benefited work experience, regardless of the fact that all possible safety measures at work have been applied.

Beneficial work experience is also achieved by persons who work in places where the performance of activities is conditioned by the years of life, ie where due to the nature and severity of work, physiological functions decline and it is simply impossible to continue successful activities.

 How are FPD contributions paid?

The weight of the job itself, as well as the harmfulness and danger to health, are in direct correlation with the coefficient of increasing the length of insurance. Thus, a year can be counted as 14, 15, 16 or 18 months, and the employer is obliged to pay somewhat increased contributions for PIO:

• For jobs where 12 months are effectively spent as 14 months, an additional 3.7% of the FPD contribution is paid.
• For jobs where 12 months are effectively spent as 15 months, an additional 5.5% of the DPD contribution is paid.
• For jobs where 12 months are effectively spent as 16 months, an additional 7.3% of the FPD contribution is paid.
• For jobs where 12 months are effectively spent as 18 months, an additional 11% of the FPD contribution is paid.
•  

Also, the length of service is calculated with an increased duration only under the condition that the person has worked for at least ten years (in order to exercise the right to an old-age pension), ie five years if a disability has been determined. It should also be borne in mind that only time spent effectively at work is benefited.

Also, the right to benefited length of service is not only for employees to whom the employer pays contributions, but also for those who pay it themselves, but under the condition that it is determined that they actually performed difficult and dangerous jobs covered by the legal framework.

How is the benefited length of service calculated?

There are general conditions for retirement and more favorable conditions for retirement. Also, there is a general calculation of pensions and a more favorable calculation that is applicable only to certain categories of insured persons.

The retirement age is lowered in relation to the degree of increase in length of service, and the obligation of the insured is to spend at least two thirds of the total length of service in the benefited jobs.

A more favorable calculation of pensions is made according to the completed length of service and earnings starting from January 1, 1996 (for other insured persons it is January 1, 1970), whereby the amount thus obtained is increased by 20%, if he is at least 55 years old and 24 years old. length of service.
