How is sick leave paid for a single mother: in case of illness of the child and in case of illness of the mother

Legislation supports single-parent families, where the baby’s only parent is his mother. The Government of the Russian Federation provides a number of special benefits for single mothers and their offspring, especially if the latter are sick. In view of this, employed women need to know what rights and preferences they are entitled to on a legislative basis in the event of a child’s illness.

Peculiarities of assigning the status of a single mother

The main focus of benefits for single mothers is compensation for various medical procedures, starting from pregnancy until the child reaches adolescence. The reason for the presence of such preferences, first of all, is the officially recorded status of a single mother. It may be assigned for the following reasons:

1. The father is not indicated on the offspring's birth certificate.
2. The young mother did not declare paternity to the local registry office.
3. The adoptive parent is an unmarried woman.
4. Through the court, the woman was unable to obtain confirmation of the paternity of a particular man. This is possible if, thanks to a documented DNA examination, he denies his paternity.
5. The child was born after the completion of three hundred days after the divorce of the spouses.

In circumstances where the baby is born before 300 days, the former husband of the citizen is recognized as the father.

1. The woman gave birth to a child before 300 days after the divorce, however, the ex-husband documented his paternity.
2. The adoptive mother's husband refuses to take part in the adoption process.

It is also important to highlight which groups of women will not be recognized as single mothers in 2018:

1. A married woman who has given birth to a baby, whose husband lives elsewhere. In such circumstances, financial assistance can be obtained through the court, by contacting the bailiffs in order to collect alimony for the maintenance of the newborn.
2. The young mother decided to indicate the details of the child’s father (name and patronymic) on the birth certificate. In such situations, it is considered that the specified man is obliged to financially support the citizen and their common offspring.
3. A widow who gave birth to a child from her deceased husband. In this case, it is necessary to contact the local branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in order to obtain appropriate preferences for the loss of a breadwinner. However, single mother status is not assigned.

Young mothers should know that the person indicated in the “Father” column on the baby’s birth certificate will in the future be considered the legal father of the newborn, even if there is no biological connection between the subjects. This can only be challenged through the courts.

Procedure for obtaining single mother status

This procedure is appropriate to carry out at the social welfare service, where all required documents should be sent. The entire procedure takes no more than one calendar month.

The package of papers includes:

It is also lawful to send it to the MFC.

• documentary evidence of the birth of the baby;
• documentary evidence that the newborn lives at the same address with the mother.

This certificate is issued at the Housing Office.

• citizen's work book;
• passport of a young mother;
• an extract from the place of work about the woman’s income for the last three months;
• certificate in form 25. It is a standardized form that is issued at the registry office offices. The certificate confirms the status of a single mother. It is this paper that gives a woman the opportunity to use all government preferences in the future.

To obtain a certificate in form No. 25, the applicant must send the following documents to the registry office:

• your passport;
• documentary evidence of the birth of the baby;
• an extract from a government agency, which would confirm that the citizen has no debts, and also certify her place of registration and the place of registration of the newborn;
• income statement and work record book;
• relevant court ruling.

Both copies and originals of papers must be submitted.

The application contains the following information:

• name of the service where the document is submitted;
• Full name of the woman;
• document name – “Application”;
• petition for assignment of the status of the child’s sole parent;
• a list of papers that are attached to the application.

The application must not contain errors. It is filled in block letters. In the absence of a package of documents, the application will not be considered by the social structure.

Benefits assigned to single mothers in 2018 in the Russian Federation

Women who have officially confirmed status as single mothers have the right to claim such benefits:

1. Free use of bed linen, children's clothing and other required clothing items in the maternity hospital upon request.
2. Provided that the medical institution where the young mother is served has a massage therapist, she has the right to visit the specified specialist twice a week for free.
3. Free vouchers to health resorts from a clinic registered with a woman with a child.
4. Dairy products are free in the hospital (until the child is three years old).
5. Subsidies for utility bills. Specific information about preferential rates will depend on the woman’s income and region of residence.

In addition, an employer cannot dismiss a woman who independently raises her offspring under 14 years of age. However, such an employee should not violate the provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

A minor raised by a single mother may subsequently qualify for additional benefits in the field of education, free meals in educational institutions (kindergarten and school), office supplies, as well as medicines, if so determined by his attending physician.

Features of sick leave payment for single mothers

Federal Law No. 255 dated December 29, 2006 regulates the procedure for paying for temporary disability of citizens, including sick leave for single mothers.

In these circumstances, it is important to distinguish between sick leave, which a woman takes out due to her illness, and temporary disability, which occurs due to the illness of a child.

When the offspring of an employed single young mother is sick, the benefits will differ from standard payments in similar circumstances. However, in the case when the woman herself falls ill, the presence of a child does not affect the amount of temporary disability benefits. In such situations, the main factors that are paid attention to are the woman’s length of service and her income.

All accruals occur on a general basis.

Features of payment of sick leave for child care for single mothers

Payment of sick leave due to the illness of the offspring of an employed woman is regulated by Federal Law No. 255 of December 29, 2006. In particular, the benefit is provided under the following conditions :

• • in circumstances where the child is being treated at home, during the first 10 days the benefit is provided in the amount determined by law based on the number of years of insurance coverage of the employee. In subsequent days, the amount of the benefit is reduced and will continue to be half of the woman’s average earnings;
  • in conditions when a minor is undergoing treatment in a hospital at a clinic, the benefit is provided to his mother, who has taken sick leave, in an amount that depends on the length of service of the employed citizen;
  • when the actual work experience does not exceed six months, then the hospital benefit for caring for a minor offspring will amount to an amount not exceeding the minimum monthly salary;
  • if the sick child is in the age group from 7 to 15 years, then the amount of the benefit is calculated for 15 days based on outpatient treatment, as well as when a single mother and her offspring are together in a hospital hospital.

The maximum amount of time that may be eligible for compensation is 45 days for each reported illness.

A sick leave certificate for any sick leave (due to illness of the mother or her offspring) is filled out by the attending physician. Employers carefully check the document for errors and inaccuracies. Often, it is precisely because of incorrect data that the Social Insurance Fund denies compensation to managers for sick leave.

So, the basic rules for filling out sick leave include:

• the column “Place of work” must be filled out by the employer using a black pen;
• The sick leave certificate must bear the seal of the medical institution where the woman was treated or her child was treated. There are no requirements regarding the design of the stamp;
• information must be displayed completely, truthfully, readably, without factual errors.

The actual payment of benefits occurs on a general basis in accordance with the law.

Hospital documents issued to a single mother upon caring for her sick offspring must be paid in full. However, the woman needs to go to the doctor on the first day of illness in order to timely register temporary disability.

After the baby recovers, the employee must receive the appropriate sick leave from the clinic where the child was treated or was registered and go with it to the company’s accounting department.

The sick leave certificate must bear the signature of the manager or other authorized entity. In conditions where the paper is not endorsed by an official of the medical institution, the sick leave will not be accepted for execution in the company where the single mother is employed.

For example, some companies state in their local regulations that such benefits should be issued on the day the woman contacts the accounting department.

Other institutions decide that the issuance of the benefit in question must occur no later than 10 days from the date the employee contacts the accounting department and provides sick leave in accordance with the requirements of labor legislation.

When calculating benefits, the woman’s entire work experience is taken into account, and not just the period of work with the current employer. In this case, the subject has the right to apply for benefits in various amounts, depending on the number of years of work experience :

• if a woman has more than 8 years of experience, sick leave compensation will represent 100% of her average earnings;
• in the case where the length of service is between 5 and 8 years of work, compensation will represent 80% of the woman’s earnings;
• if the length of service does not reach 5 years, the amount of compensation will be 60% of the subject’s average earnings.

Payment for sick leave for a single mother is made at the expense of the employer upon the fact that the woman provides a sick leave certificate to the company’s accounting department. However, then the manager has the right to claim compensation for such costs from the Social Insurance Fund. In particular, accounting employees prepare all the necessary papers, which are sent to the service in question.

In conditions where the illness is attributed to the employee herself, the Social Insurance Fund compensates for days of illness, starting from the fourth day of the woman’s illness. However, in circumstances where a single employee provided care for a sick offspring, the Social Insurance Fund reimburses the employer’s expenses, starting from the first day of the child’s illness.

Thus, sick leave for single mothers is paid on the general basis provided by law. In particular, the employer must have official confirmation of the employee’s single mother status and be informed about the procedure for assigning sickness benefits to a subordinate or her offspring.

Sick leave for child care

Registration of this type of sick leave is necessary to pay for the days actually devoted to child care. A certificate of incapacity for work is an official document, and its issuance is strictly regulated by law .

It can be received by both parents and other relatives who actually care for children during their illness. The age of children up to which they can take sick leave in connection with their illness is limited to the age of majority , and the duration of release from work directly depends on their age.

Sick leave can be issued by a pediatrician, a doctor of a narrow specialization, and in a hospital - by the attending doctor. A certificate of incapacity for work to care for a minor family member cannot be issued retroactively .

Payment and calculation of benefits is made by the employer depending on the length of service of the insured person at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund (SIF). The period of temporary disability is calculated in calendar days .

Who can take sick leave with a child?

A certificate of incapacity for work can be issued by a parent (mother, father), guardian or custodian of the child who is actually caring for him .

Other relatives (for example, grandmother) also have the right to receive sick leave.

The main condition is the official employment of the caregiver , and in the case of entrepreneurial activity, payment of contributions to the Social Insurance Fund.

If desired, a certificate of incapacity for work can be issued alternately to different family members . In this case, the duration of sick leave should not exceed the established periods.

Cohabitation of a relative and a minor person being cared for during illness is not a legal requirement. The doctor's request to confirm this fact is unfounded .

Sick leave will be denied if the child’s relative does not need to be released from work and is:

If a child falls ill at the end of the vacation period and does not recover by the end of it, sick leave is issued from the date when it was necessary to start work .

Elena was on leave to care for her son Vanya until July 17, 2019 (until he turned 3 years old). The baby fell ill on July 14 and was ill until the 20th. The mother will receive sick leave from July 18 to 20.

A certificate of temporary incapacity for work cannot be issued to unemployed pensioners, students and the unemployed.

The table below indicates the age up to which a certificate of incapacity for child care is required in a given case:

Age of the child (years) and characteristics of the disease Outpatient treatment Inpatient treatment

Up to 7	+ (including during quarantine)	+
From 7 to 15	+	+
From 15 to 18	+	−
Up to 18 (disabled child)	+	+
Under 18 (HIV-infected)	−	+
Up to 18 (with post-vaccination complications, malignant neoplasms)	+	+

When treated in a hospital, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued to a caring relative only if he stays in a medical institution together with a minor .

When a child between 15 and 18 years of age is in a hospital, his relatives do not have the right to receive sick leave. It is believed that at this age a person is able to take care of himself while in the hospital, which means he does not need additional care.

If a child’s chronic illness is in remission , the relative caring for him is not entitled to sick leave.

The length of a parent's stay on sick leave depends on the age of the children . The younger the child, the longer the permitted period of temporary disability that will be paid . This dependence is clearly presented in the table:

Age of the child (years) and characteristics of the disease Duration of release from work (per case of illness) Maximum number of paid sick days per calendar year

Up to 7	The entire period of treatment (quarantine)	60 in standard cases, 90 in the treatment of diseases from the List
From 7 to 15	Up to 15 calendar days, more - according to the conclusion of the medical commission (MC)	45
From 15 to 18	Up to 3, by decision of the VC - up to 7	30
Special conditions for issuing sick leave
Up to 18 (with HIV infection, complications after the vaccine, malignant tumors)	The entire treatment period	No limits
Up to 18 (disabled child)	The entire treatment period	120

When caring for children under 15 years of age who live in areas affected by radioactive impact , were resettled or evacuated from them, and were born after one of the parents was irradiated, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued for the entire duration of the illness .

If necessary, sick leave can be extended by decision of the VC. In the case of caring for a disabled child, as well as in other special situations indicated in the table, a certificate of incapacity for work is issued for the entire period of caring for the patient until his recovery. At the same time, the annual limit on paid days is either significantly increased or not limited at all .

If the total period of disability exceeds the established annual payment limits, no excess benefit will be paid .

By November 2019, Elena’s total stay on sick leave to care for five-year-old Vanya was 58 days. The child often suffered from acute respiratory infections. In December, the boy fell ill again, and in the hospital his mother received a certificate of temporary incapacity for work for 5 days. The accounting department will pay Elena only 2 days of temporary disability certificate.

The employer is responsible for recording the days spent by a relative on sick leave to care for children . The doctor issues a certificate of temporary incapacity for work even if the limit of paid days is exceeded.

Registration of sick leave for child care

For outpatient treatment, a certificate of temporary incapacity for work is issued by a doctor (general practitioner or specialist) at the place of attachment of the child.

Sick leave will be opened at the initial visit , even if the appointment is carried out at home.

The personal presence of the relative caring for the person is required for the issuance of a disability form.

According to the law, issuing sick leave for child care retroactively is not allowed . This information was confirmed on the website of the FSS of Russia.

Sick leave certificates are strictly taken into account in medical organizations, so it is important to contact a doctor in a timely manner so that the benefit is paid for the entire period of absence from work.

The doctor may give the form to the caregiver until the child recovers.

In this case, you must have the document with you at each appointment . Also, the sick leave may be in the doctor’s office and will be issued only after it is closed.

When receiving treatment in a hospital (including day care), sick leave is issued by the child’s attending physician.

To apply for sick leave, you need an identity document (passport, birth certificate) and policy (CHI) for the child, as well as a passport of the mother or other relative. More and more medical institutions keep electronic records of documentation and see all the necessary information in databases. However, it is better to have your passport and certificate with you.

If the second child falls ill before the first one recovers, the form originally issued will be extended until both children have recovered.

How is sick leave paid for child care?

According to the law, calendar days of  sick (that is, not only weekdays, but also weekends will be counted).

If a child’s relative is working externally at the time of illness, and during the two previous calendar years was employed by the same employers, sick leave will be paid by each of them . The doctor will issue a separate form for each organization.

In a number of other situations, payment of child sickness benefits will be made by one employer at the choice of the insured person.

To pay for benefits, you must provide the employer with the original document . Many medical organizations issue electronic certificates of incapacity for work. In this case, it is advisable to find out from the accounting department whether it can accept this type of form.

If a parent (relative) of a child performs professional duties part-time , he is also entitled to sick leave in accordance with paragraph. 4 tbsp. 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The same applies to persons on parental leave.

If they perform professional duties part-time (week), they have the right to receive a certificate of temporary incapacity for work .

How to calculate sick leave for child care

Payment for a certificate of incapacity for work is calculated on the basis of the average earnings of the person caring for the child during the period of his illness. The two calendar years preceding the year in which the insured event occurred are important.

If a child fell ill in May 2019, then the accounting department will use information about the employee’s salary in 2017 and 2018 to calculate the benefit.

The amount of the benefit paid depends on the insurance length of the person caring for the child and ranges from 60% to 100% of average earnings. However, the duration of sick leave and the place of medical care are additionally taken into account.

Temporary disability benefits are assigned within 10 calendar days after the documents are submitted to the employer. Payment must be received on the next payday.

Sick leave for child care in 2019

Sick leave for child care in 2020 is issued and paid for in the same way as in 2019. But there are some changes.

A mother or other relative caring for a sick child consults a doctor for medical help on the first day of illness.

Please note that the first day of sick leave must be a working day, not a weekend or holiday. Non-working days are not paid.

A sick leave certificate for caring for a sick child can only be issued to a specific person and in his presence. Such a document is not issued in absentia.

The employer pays for the first 3 days of sick leave. Starting from the 4th day, payment is made from the budget of the Social Insurance Fund (SIF).

(Article 3 Law No. 255-FZ)

Payments are calculated according to the established scheme:

1. all earnings for the last 2 years are summed up;
2. average daily earnings are calculated (the resulting amount is divided by 730);
3. the amount of benefit for one day is calculated;
4. the total amount to be paid is determined.

The average earnings, on the basis of which benefits are calculated, include all types of payments and other remuneration in favor of the insured person, for which insurance premiums are calculated. This is a requirement.

2 The procedure for calculating sick leave, approved by Decree of the Government of Russia No. 375... It is important to remember that only payments for the billing period from which social insurance contributions are paid will be included in the calculation.

That is, payments exempt from contributions are not taken into account in the total amount of earnings. In addition, payments in each year of the billing period are accepted for calculation within the limit subject to insurance premiums. The maximum value of the insurance premium base is indexed annually.

So, to calculate the benefit, you need to calculate its value - one non-working day. To do this, you need to multiply the average daily earnings (ADE) by the percentage corresponding to the insurance period. Then you should multiply the result by the number of days of illness.

Amount of benefit Average daily earnings (SDW) Percentage of length of service 100%; 80%; 60% Number of sick days

Benefit amount and restrictions

To determine the amount of the benefit, you must multiply the resulting average daily amount by the number of days required to care for a sick child.

It should be remembered that according to the requirements of Art. 7 of Law No. 255-FZ, temporary disability benefits for the treatment of a child on an outpatient basis are paid for the first 10 calendar days in an amount determined depending on the length of the insurance period, and for subsequent days in the amount of 50% of average earnings.

When treating a child in an inpatient setting - in an amount determined depending on the length of the insurance period of the insured person.

Let us remind you that the amount of the benefit for 8 or more years of experience will be 100%, from 5 to 8 years - 80%, and up to 5 years - 60% of average earnings. These norms are established by paragraph 1 of Art. 7 of Law No. 255-FZ.

If there is no information to calculate SDZ, then the accountant takes the average value - the minimum wage. In 2020 it is equal to 11,280 rubles.

Thus, in 2020, to calculate the amount of sick leave benefits for child care, the length of continuous work must be 6 months longer than now, and in the future it will increase.

Does the age of a child affect sick leave in 2020?

Let's look at how long sick leave for child care can be provided and paid for.

This is important, because the age of the child affects the number of days officially permitted for an employee to be absent from the workplace.

Thus, if there are sick children of preschool age (up to 7 years), the entire period of their illness is paid, regardless of the place of treatment: at home or in the hospital. The doctor also issues sick leave for child care during quarantine declared in preschool educational institutions (kindergartens). During a calendar year, a family member caring for a sick child can take 60 days, in some cases - 90.

A mother or other family member can receive sick leave to care for a child 7 years of age or older (until the child reaches 15 years of age) for up to 15 calendar days, and a maximum of 45 such days are provided per year.

For sick children over 15 years of age, sick leave can be granted for a maximum of 3 days, if there is a decision of the medical commission - up to 7 days.

Number of calendar days to care for a sick child

NameSize (amount - excluding regional coefficients), in rubles.

Average daily earnings limit (SDZ) = (RUB 755,000 + 815,000) / 730	2 150,68
Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage (at the beginning of vacation) x 24 / 730	RUB 370.85
The maximum possible amount of maternity benefit 140 days (70 + 70). Formula: (755,000 + 815,000) / 730 x 140); 156 days (complicated 70 + 86). Formula: (755,000 + 815,000) / 730 x 156); 194 days (multiple 84 + 110). Formula: (755,000 + 815,000) / 730 x 194).	The calculation takes into account the maximum size of the SDZ RUB 301,095.20 RUB 335,506.08 RUB 417,231.92
The maximum possible amount of the calculated monthly child care benefit	RUB 26,152.27

Minimum monthly child care benefit	3 277,45
Minimum monthly allowance for caring for the second and subsequent children	RUB 6,554.89
One-time benefit for the birth of a child	RUB 17,479.73
Social benefits for funerals are paid in the amount of the cost of services according to the guaranteed list of funeral services, but not exceeding	RUB 5,946.47
Minimum wage	RUB 11,280.00

Thus, sick leave for caring for a child born 1 year of age or reaching 15 years of age is issued for a different number of days.

As of 2020, the rules ensuring the legal regulation of sick leave payment for child care are still contained in Art. 3 of Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006.

In accordance with the requirements of the law, the number of paid days depends on the age of the child and his status (whether he has a disability or not).

In addition, the amount of sick pay depends on the insurance length of the working parent:

• 100% with insurance experience of 8 years or more;
• 80% - from 5 to 8;
• 60% - less than 5 years.

Sick leave is paid based on the average daily salary, but it is not calculated according to the general rules. To calculate this value, all payments for the previous two calendar years are taken into account (in 2020 this is 2018 and 2019), the resulting amount is divided by 730.

How is sick leave paid for child care in certain cases?

Sick leave, if the child is disabled, is provided and paid for a longer period than in normal cases. This group also includes children with cancer, HIV-infected children, and post-vaccination complications. To extend sick leave in these situations, there must be an official conclusion from a medical commission.

Sick leave after parental leave is calculated as follows. To calculate sick leave benefits, income for the last 2 years is taken.

But if the mother was on maternity leave before going on sick leave, then the accountant can replace calendar years to calculate the due payments.

If 2 children in a family are sick at the same time, then the mother or another family member is issued one sick leave certificate; if more than two children are sick, then the sick leave certificate is issued in 2 copies.

In cases where the second child falls ill later than the first, the sick leave is extended until both children recover.

Until what time can a mother’s sick leave for child care be presented and paid? A certificate of incapacity for work can be presented within 12 months from the date of recovery of the child.

From year to year, the rules for paying sick leave for child care do not undergo significant changes.

In addition to the calculation rules, the accountant should remember the general rules for filling out the sheet - it should be filled out with a black fountain or gel pen (a ballpoint pen cannot be filled out).

An incorrectly filled out sick leave certificate does not necessarily need to be replaced - the entry can be corrected in the manner prescribed by law.

Sick leave for a single mother 2020 - payment, calculation, child care, how it is paid, sheet

Sick leave pays benefits for the period of temporary loss of ability to work due to illness or injury. Calculations are carried out on the basis of regulations.

• Sick leave for a single mother is paid for treatment at home for the first 10 days.
• For a period of more than 10 days, the payment is made in the amount of 50% of the average salary.
• The amount depends on the duration of the insurance period:

Number of years	Interest on payment
More than 8	100%
5-8	80%
Up to 5	60%

In cases where the work experience is less than 6 months, the amount of payments is calculated based on the minimum wage, and regional coefficients are taken into account.

The legislation does not provide for any special benefits or calculation features for single mothers.

Status

A woman who raises her own or adopted child without a father is considered a single mother. But the second parent must also be absent from a legal point of view. That is, only the mother is indicated on the baby’s birth certificate, or the father is entered solely on the basis of words, without documentary evidence.

In this case, the woman is assigned the appropriate status and issued a special certificate. This is what is presented when applying for benefits and allowances.

What is required?

Single mothers are entitled to benefits according to their status. If the child is under 14 years old, the manager does not have the right to fire her:

• at the request of the owner of the organization;
• in case of inconsistency with the position held;
• by reduction.

In the event that the company is liquidated or the employment contract is coming to an end, the manager is obliged to employ her. And if she has difficulty finding a job, she is entitled to a compensation payment in the amount of the average salary for 3 months.

Benefits and allowances

1. The status of a single mother is assigned in the absence of a father from a legal point of view.
2. But it should be taken into account that a woman who gives birth to a child before 300 days after the divorce process will not be considered a single mother.
3. The benefits provided are divided into the following forms:

• social;
• labor;
• utilities;
• medical;
• benefits.

Regarding the latter, the availability of cash payments depends on the region of residence.

Federal laws do not provide for cash payments to single mothers.

Law

Federal Law 255 regulates the process of paying for sick leave. According to the legal act, sick leave is paid based on several factors.

The calculation of temporary disability benefits for caring for a child differs from payment if the employee herself is sick.

Sick leave for a single mother

Payment for sick leave for a single mother depends on the number of years worked. The longer the insurance period, the higher the percentage of payment. In this case, the status has no effect.

Accruals are made on a common basis with all employees.

For child care

If a child falls ill, benefits are calculated in accordance with Federal Law 255:

• If treatment is carried out at home, then for the first 10 days payment is accrued in the amount that is established depending on the length of service of the insured employee. Further, the amount decreases and is only 50% of the average salary.
• If the child is treated in a hospital, the payment will be an amount determined depending on the length of work experience.
• If the work experience is less than six months, then the payment for sick leave will be an amount not exceeding the minimum wage for a full month.
• If the child is from 7 to 15 years old, then sick leave is paid for 15 days in the case of outpatient treatment and when staying together in an inpatient treatment facility. But the maximum number of days to be paid is 45 for each case of illness.

Thus, payment is carried out on a general basis in accordance with current legislation.

How is it paid?

Sick leave for caring for a minor is paid in full. From the first day you need to see a doctor so that the accruals are in place from the very beginning.

At the end of the period of illness, the employee is required to provide supporting documents - sick leave. It is issued after discharge from the clinic.

The signature of the manager or acting director must be present. Without this document, payment will not be made.

Some enterprises pay money immediately, and some within 10 days from the moment the sheet is provided (according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Calculation

The rules for calculating sick leave in 2020 have not changed compared to 2020.

Let's give an example. Citizen Petrova fell ill and took sick leave on January 10-25, 2020, that is, the period was 16 days. The insurance work experience is 7 years.

Further calculation is carried out as follows:

Are there any special payment terms for the sheet?

The law protects all women, including single mothers. The employee has the right to the same rules and regulations under which other categories of citizens work, but she will not be provided with any special preferential conditions.

The payment procedure, terms and regulations are determined by Federal Law No. 255-FZ of December 29, 2006. The presence or absence of children does not affect the calculations; the main thing that the employer pays attention to is the total length of service and the amount of income.

How is it paid?

• If a woman has worked for more than eight years, she will be paid 100% of average earnings.
• If a woman has five to eight years of experience, the accountant will accrue benefits in the amount of 80% of earnings.
• Those employees whose experience has not reached five years will be paid the least - they will receive only 60%.

In different companies, the accountant sets his own payment deadline. Some will pay the benefit immediately as soon as the woman brings a properly executed sick leave certificate, while others will pay the benefit no later than 10 days from the date the document is provided.

However, a single mother needs to see a doctor immediately as soon as she or her child gets sick, in this case, absence from work will not be equated to absenteeism and the doctor will issue a sick leave sheet in a timely manner.

As soon as the woman or her child recovers and the mother comes to close the sick leave, the document must be stamped and signed by the head of the clinic. After this, you must immediately contact the accounting department or bring your sick leave to work.

This urgency is due to the fact that the employer, on the basis of this document, sends a request for compensation of its costs to the Social Insurance Fund. The rules for paying compensation to the employer differ depending on whether the woman took the sick leave herself or arranged child care.

• If the employee herself was sick, the Social Insurance Fund pays for sick days, starting from 4 days from the date of registration of the document.
• If a child was sick, the employer will receive reimbursement of expenses from the Social Insurance Fund starting from the 1st day of illness.

How can a mother receive benefits for children's illness?

The law defines restrictions that are based on the age of children:

1. The largest compensation will be paid to mothers of children under 7 years of age. Accounting will transfer 100% of average earnings. However, the total number of paid calendar days per year due to a child’s illness will not exceed 60. Although there are nuances here too. If the disease is included in the list approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Development (clause 1, part 5, article 6 of Law No. 255-FZ dated December 29, 2006), then the period will be extended to 90 days.
2. If the child is over 7 years old but under 15, the mother will only pay benefits for 15 calendar days. During the year, the employer will be able to pay only 45 days of illness for a child from a given age group.
3. When caring for a child over 15 years old, in the same way as when caring for an adult family member, a woman will be paid for only 7 calendar days. She will be able to receive paid sick leave for the child only for a period of no more than 30 calendar days per year.
4. Disability benefits for a woman caring for a sick child on an outpatient basis are accrued in the general manner: starting from the 11th day of absence from work, the accountant will pay a benefit in the amount of 50% of average earnings without taking into account the insurance period.

However, there are exceptions.

• If the child is disabled and under 18 years of age, benefits are accrued for the entire period of illness. Over the course of a year, an employee will be able to receive compensation for 120 calendar days of caring for such a child.
• Sick leave for caring for HIV-infected children under the age of 18 is also calculated according to a special scheme. All time spent by the child in the hospital is paid.
• If a child under the age of 18 has a complication after vaccination or is diagnosed with a malignant tumor, payment of the benefit will be 100%.
• Chernobyl employees caring for a sick child under the age of 15 deserve special attention. The employer pays such employees for the period of outpatient treatment or joint stay with a child in an inpatient treatment facility in the amount of 100% of average earnings. In this case, the insurance experience of employees is not taken into account.

What happens if in some case the daily limit is exhausted and the child is still sick? The benefit will not be paid, however, if the woman provides sick leave, absence from work will be considered a valid reason and will not be equated to absenteeism.

Practical advice

Since the law does not provide special conditions and benefits for sick leave for single mothers, in cases where the disability benefit is much less than the salary, the employee may ask another relative to stay with the sick baby. Which relative will open a sick leave does not matter.

It is not uncommon for an employer to force a single mother to go to work, despite her legal right to take sick leave, or to condition her that she will hire her only if she does not remain on official sick leave at all. In this case, a good solution is to agree with the employer that one of the parents or relatives of the single mother will take sick leave for the child.

However, it is worth remembering that refusal of employment due to the presence of children is illegal! The law protects working single mothers. For example, a woman cannot be fired if her child is under 14 years old. However, it is often difficult for a single mother to combine caring for a child and work, especially when it comes to illness.

A single mother with a child under 14 should be aware of the opportunity to apply for a more flexible schedule than other employees.

According to Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, she has the right to submit an application to the employer with a request to establish part-time work for the duration of certain circumstances. In this application, the woman has the right to ask for adjustments to working hours and rest, including:

1. duration of daily work (shift);
2. start and end times of work;
3. work breaks.

All this is established in accordance with the wishes of the employee, taking into account the production (work) conditions of the employer. If the employer refuses, a single mother can file a complaint with the Labor Inspectorate.
