Can seniority be counted without social security?

Yes. The calculation of length of service can be based on the working time with salary income as the main source or all sources since the employee established the labor relationship with the unit.

However, only continuous service length and contributory service length have legal significance for calculating social insurance benefits. The length of service marks the length of time an employee has been working. It also reflects the employee's contribution to society and the enterprise and the level of knowledge, experience, and technical proficiency.

If there is no situation that can be combined, the continuous length of service is the length of service of the enterprise.
