NA MP Tigran Urikhanyan proposes amendments to the “Law on State Pensions”.
The MP suggests that when calculating work experience at the time of retirement, consider also the period of working in more than one place in conjunction.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has provided a negative opinion to the draft.
The revision of the length of service calculation principles proposed by the draft will, in the Government’s estimation, substantially complicate the procedure for calculating the length of service (the size of the employment pension), given that in this case there will also be a need to refer to cases where a person works shorter working time Article 140 of the RA Labor Code, or “maximum duration of working time,” Article 139 Part 3 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Armenia, or at the same employer with two or more employment contracts (it is clear that employers do not keep a proper calculation, which significantly complicates the rules for approving work experience).
“In our view, the revision of the principles of calculating the length of service is also problematic from the point of view of social justice, given that in this case, for example, a teacher working in 2 schools at a rate of 0.25 at the same time (only 0.5 at a time) would accumulate more pensions than a teacher who worked in one school in full rate,” the draft government decision noted.
Today, in the National Assembly, Tigran Urikhanyan called in any case to include the draft agenda in the four-day sittings.
“Going to the streets 1.5 years ago, the citizen of Armenia, in order to overthrow the ineffective government, will not get the expectations for what the people served you the power on the tray, and by doing so you will break the expectations of 800 thousand poor people which emerged 1.5 years ago,” the deputy said.
National Assembly President Ararat Mirzoyan asked a question to Urikhanyan: “Is it your particular observation that we have been given power on a tray?” The question, however, remained unanswered.
