Bulletin is an official document confirming the fact of temporary disability and is the basis for calculating payments. The mechanism for its creation has undergone some changes, so it is important for all interested parties to know how to issue a sick leave in 2021. The algorithm of actions is presented in the step-by-step instructions for the employee and employer.

Major changes

Since 2021, a number of important amendments have been introduced that affect the circle of persons eligible for sick leave, as well as the number of organizations vested with the appropriate powers.

Thus, the bulletin can now be opened by convicts employed in paid work, and heads of enterprises working in one person. And any institution licensed to provide medical services has the right to deal with the execution of the document.

The employee is given the opportunity to issue a sick leave in both paper and electronic form.

Also, a methodology for correcting errors made when filling out an electronic document was approved. The corrected version is re-sent to the FSS, indicating the reasons for the inaccuracy.

A piece of paper can be extended electronically and vice versa.

The bulletin issued in connection with the illness of a child (from 7 to 15 years old) is opened for an indefinite period without rationing the number of days. If a document is created confirming the fact of caring for a minor over 15 years old, then the period is limited to 7 calendar days and for each case of the disease, provided that the treatment takes place at home.

In addition, the conditions for registration are indicated in case of illness of two children at the same time. In such cases, a single document is issued where the health worker records the data for each child (social security certificate number and period of illness).

From January 1, 2022, certificates of incapacity for work will be issued only in electronic form.

To whom and how sickness benefits will be accrued

The procedure for issuing and paying sick leaves is fixed by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated 06.2011 No. 624n, as well as by law No. 323 "On the basics of protecting the health of citizens …" dated 11.2011.

The period of incapacity for work includes all days of illness, including holidays and weekends. Since the calculation of the benefit is carried out by the FSS, the amount of compensation is determined by the amount of deductions made by the employee before the occurrence of the insured event (length of service).

For a citizen working for a public or private company, the employer pays the contributions. If the employee is self-employed or is an individual entrepreneur, he makes payments on his own.

The amount of the benefit is calculated as a percentage of the average salary, depending on the length of service:

• up to 5 years old - 60%;
• from 5 to 8 years old - 80 /%;
• more than 8 years - 100%.

How to design an email newsletter in 2021

The employee has the right to independently choose the form of sick leave. But first, you should check with the employer whether the accounting department will be able to accept the digital version of the document. If a negative answer is received, then the certificate of incapacity for work is drawn up in the usual form. In this case, the medical organization must cancel the previous version and open a new bulletin.

When issuing a sick leave, the patient agrees to the processing of data and the issuance of an online newsletter that does not require certification at the registry. The document is assigned a unique code, by which it can be easily found in the LC on the FSS website, and then inform the employer.

Employer's actions in the personal account of the social insurance fund

Step-by-step instructions for the employer involve performing certain actions.

First of all, you should register in the Unified Integrated Information System "Sotsstrakh" and obtain an individual access code for a legal entity.

To issue a sick leave on the FSS website, the employer needs to do the following:

1. Register on the State Services portal, where you enter the details and data of the company.
2. Log in to your personal account using the received password and phone number that was specified during registration in State Services.
3. Find a document using the code provided by the employee and see the period of validity of the sick leave for calculating benefits.
4. Enter information about the company, average salary and work experience of the insured person.
5. Check the correctness of filling out the form. If you find any typos, you should correct them immediately.
6. Send an electronic version of the document to the FSS.

To use information about electronic sick leave, it is necessary to appoint a responsible person from among the accounting staff who know how to use the new service. An individual access code is transmitted to him.

General procedure for issuing certificates of incapacity for work

The mechanism for issuing sick leaves in a remote mode was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1567.

Procedure:

1. The patient turns to a medical organization in order to receive professional help.
2. If necessary, the doctor draws up a sick leave, having previously specified which form of document management the employee prefers.
3. The written consent of the patient, obtained during the registration of the electronic certificate of incapacity for work, is scanned in the online service of the FSS, and the paper version is attached to the patient's medical record.

After receiving a digital copy, an employee of the insurance company registers the document in the FSS system and sends it to the employer for accounting and calculation of benefits.

The closing of the bulletin is confirmed by the employer through the online service of the FSS.

An electronic copy comes to the employer a few minutes after registration, which frees the employee from the need to personally deliver the document to the accounting department. The payment procedure for the digital version follows the general rules.

How to issue a certificate of incapacity for work in quarantine

To issue a sick leave, an employee who is on self-isolation due to coronavirus does not need to personally visit a medical institution and call a doctor at home.

The sick person needs:

1. Log in to your personal account on the FSS website (you can use an account from the State Service website).
2. Fill out the form, which is an application for the registration of the newsletter.
3. Attach a scanned copy or photo of your passport, as well as documents confirming the fact of living together or crossing the border.
4. Report the number of the created electronic sheet to the employer in any way.

Also, through your personal account, you can send an application to other family members, provided they live together and only after receiving their consent. If the patient called a health worker at home, you can issue a sick leave in the standard way (on paper).

Outcomes

In 2021, each employee is given the opportunity to choose the form of sick leave registration.

An electronic certificate of incapacity for work is sent by the employer to the FSS for calculating benefits. Its size is determined by the amount of payments made before the occurrence of the insured event.
