42. Forms of the work book and its insert are stored in the organization as documents strict accountability and are issued to the person responsible for maintaining work books, at his request.

For violation of the procedure established by these Rules for maintaining, accounting, storing and issuing work books, officials shall bear responsibility established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

VIII. Production of work book forms and provision of employers with them

46. ​​Production of work book forms and an insert in it and providing employers with them for paid basis carried out in the manner approved by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.

Forms of the work book and its insert have an appropriate degree of protection.

47. When issuing a work book or an insert to it to an employee, the employer charges him a fee, the amount of which is determined by the amount of expenses for their acquisition, except for the cases provided for in paragraphs 34 and these Rules.

48. In case of wrong initial filling the work book or its insert, as well as in case of damage through no fault of the employee, the cost of the damaged form is paid by the employer.

The work book reflects the entire work biography of a person. Making entries in it, as well as storing and issuing it to an employee upon dismissal, is strictly regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation in 2016, and it is necessary to follow these rules for maintaining work books.

Legislative regulation of issues of work books

A novice personnel officer or accountant, who first encountered work books of employees, certainly needs to know what rules of law govern their handling.

The work book is a form of the form established by the Rules with the appropriate degrees of protection indicating the series and number of 20 spreads, the pages of which are numbered and have sections where records of the appropriate type are entered (information about the employee (the so-called title page), information about work, information about awards).

If the sections "Information about work" or "Information about awards" are over, then an insert is made in the work book. Its form, form and maintenance are subject to requirements similar to the requirements for the work book itself.

The employer is obliged to have a constant supply of the required number of forms of work books and inserts in them (clause 44 of the Rules).

Forms of work books and inserts must be purchased by the employer centrally from official distributors authorized by GOZNAK (their list is published on the GOZNAK website).

Similar forms can be found in stationery stores and kiosks selling printed matter for the public, but such sale is not legal. Since there are no guarantees of their authenticity and compliance with the requirements of regulatory enactments, the employer does not have the right to require the newly hired employee to have the form purchased at the kiosk on hand. Moreover, it is illegal to accept it from an employee for further filling, and we do not recommend doing this in order to avoid further problems.

The form of the work book can be checked for authenticity by comparing the correspondence of the series and number to the year of issue, as well as the form established by the same Government Decree that approved the Rules.

Employment book - strict reporting form

Both work books received from employees and their blank forms and inserts are subject to strict accounting when stored with the employer (this is indicated by section six of the Rules).

For these purposes, registers must be kept for established forms:

  • income and expense book for accounting forms of the work book and an insert in it;
  • book of accounting for the movement of work books and inserts in them.

Both of these books must be necessarily laced and numbered, certified by the signature of the head of the organization and sealed with a wax seal (sealed) - this is stated in paragraph 41 of the Rules.

The income and expense book for accounting for forms is maintained by the accounting department of the organization, and it reflects all operations for receiving and spending forms of the work book (insert in it) indicating the series and number of the form.

The book of accounting for the movement of work books is maintained by personnel officers. It records information on the acceptance and issuance upon dismissal of all work books of employees and inserts in them, both accepted from employees upon admission to work, and issued to employees again. At the same time, their series and number must be indicated in the accounting book, and the employee’s signature is affixed to receive the work book in his hands upon dismissal.

The official of the organization responsible for work books

The law directly obliges the employer to properly organize work with work books.

Strict accounting of these documents in the organization requires the presence of a specially authorized official - the person responsible for maintaining, storing, recording and issuing work books.

Such a person is appointed by order or order of the employer. Usually, such responsibility is assigned to a specific employee of the personnel service or an accountant directly involved in work books.

The order is issued in an arbitrary form, its wording may look, for example, as follows: "To appoint the inspector of the personnel department Anna Nikolaevna Petrova as the person responsible for maintaining, storing, accounting and issuing work books." The order number, date, as well as full name, position and, of course, the signature of the head are affixed.

The procedure for maintaining work books

The procedure for making entries in the work books of employees is of great importance, so they must be made strictly according to the established rules.

The above-mentioned Instruction containing the norms for maintaining work books is devoted to the procedure for maintaining work books.

The Instructions regulate all possible stages of filling out this document, starting with how to correctly enter information about the employee (on the title page), records of work and transfers, awards and incentives, dismissal, invalidation of the record, and ending with the issues of issuing a duplicate.

It should be noted that no fundamental changes have been made to it since the publication of the Instruction. Therefore, the Instruction for maintaining work books in 2015-2016 does not differ in any features compared to previous periods.

How to keep a workbook

Since the form of the work book is a document of strict accountability, and the completed work book also contains the personal data of the employee, the law imposes on the employer the obligation to store it correctly.

We talked about accounting for work books in special books above, now let's talk, in fact, about their storage.

Neither the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, nor the Rules, nor the Instructions contain rules on where work books should be stored. That is, there are no special storage rules for work books.

Therefore, one should refer to the norms on document circulation (see Regulations on documents and document circulation in accounting, approved by the USSR Ministry of Finance on 07/29/1983 N 105).

It stipulates that strict reporting forms should be stored in safes, metal cabinets or special rooms to ensure their safety (clause 6.2). It is silent about whether such a safe should be fireproof and whether grilles should be installed on the windows of the room.

Thus, the storage of work books should be carried out in a way that ensures their safety and prevents unauthorized persons from accessing them.

Shelf life of work books

The employer keeps the employment records of all full-time employees except for collaborators.

They are handed out only upon dismissal of the employee (termination of the employment contract with him for any reason), or for a while for submission to the social insurance (security) bodies in accordance with Art. 62 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation at the written request of the employee.

There may be situations when the work books of deceased employees remain with the employer.

According to paragraph 37 of the Rules, in the event of the death of an employee, a work book (with an entry made in it about the termination of the employment contract under paragraph 6 of part 1 of article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) is issued into the hands of one of his relatives against receipt in the book of accounting for the movement of work books or sent by mail at the written request of one of the relatives.

That is, the employer should notify the relatives of such an employee about the need to receive his work book or agree to send it by mail.

If, for some reason, the work book of the deceased employee remained with the employer, then it must be kept in the organization permanently until it can be demanded by relatives.

The shelf life of work books that were not in demand is 75 years (clause 664 of the List of typical managerial archival documents generated in the course of activities government agencies, local authorities and organizations, indicating the terms of storage, approved. Order of the Ministry of Culture of Russia dated August 25, 2010 N 558).
