Obtaining an archival salary statement for pension application purposes

Case summary

A client contacted LLC “PRAVOVYI LIDER” regarding obtaining a salary certificate for the period of work before the 2000s for further registration and confirmation of pension rights.

During the analysis of the situation, it was established that the client needed to obtain documents confirming her employment history and the amount of salary for previous periods of work.

Obtaining such documents independently was complicated due to the long period of their storage, changes in the names of institutions, reorganization of educational institutions, and the need to apply to the relevant archival institutions and local self-government bodies.

The client’s problem

The main problem was that, in order to register or clarify her pension rights, the client needed salary documents for periods of work before 2000.

Such information is not always contained in the electronic registers of the Pension Fund, so in order for it to be taken into account, it is necessary to obtain a properly issued archival certificate or salary certificate from an authorized body.

Without these documents, part of the client’s employment history and earnings could have been disregarded or taken into account incompletely when registering a pension or checking the pension file.

What the lawyers did

The lawyers of LLC “PRAVOVYI LIDER” analyzed the client’s situation, determined which documents were necessary to confirm her pension rights, and prepared an attorney’s request to the relevant authority.

After that, the lawyers:

• analyzed the circumstances of the client’s employment history;
• determined the periods of work for which salary confirmation needed to be obtained;
• prepared an attorney’s request for the provision of information and documents;
• sent the request to the authorized body;
• received a response confirming the client’s employment history;
• obtained salary certificates for pension calculation for the required periods;
• provided legal support to the client for further use of the obtained documents in pension matters.

Result

As a result of the review of the attorney’s request, the competent authority provided a certificate containing information about the client’s employment history, her transfers between educational institutions, periods of work, and other personnel data.

Salary certificates for pension calculation were also obtained for periods of work before 2000, in particular for 1989, 1990, 1992–1994, and 1999–2000.

The obtained documents can be used for pension registration, checking the correctness of its calculation, or confirming the client’s pension rights.

Thanks to proper legal support and a timely prepared attorney’s request, the client received the necessary documents on employment history and salary, which allowed her to continue the procedure for arranging pension provision.

Official documents

The case involved an attorney’s request, a certificate from the Education Department of the Bakhmut City Council, documents regarding the client’s employment history, and salary certificates for pension calculation for periods of work before 2000.
