Classifier of professions and positions. List of professions and positions

This section presents the releases of the Unified Qualification Directory for the Positions of Managers, Specialists and Other Employees (hereinafter referred to as the CSA). The EKS is intended for billing of works and assignment of tariff categories. On the basis of the EKS, it is possible to draw up job descriptions and programs for the training and advanced training of specialists in various industries and fields of activity. Section updated October 17, 2018 - added releases, fixed technical errors.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 31, 2002 N 787 established that the EKS consists of qualification characteristics for the positions of managers, specialists and employees, containing job duties and requirements for the level of knowledge and qualifications of managers, specialists and employees.

The development of the CSA is carried out by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation together with the federal executive authorities, which are entrusted with the management, regulation and coordination of activities in the relevant sector (sub-sector) of the economy (paragraph 2 of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 31, 2002 N 787). Decree of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of 09.02.2004 N 9 approved the Procedure for the application of the CEN.

This section contains a list of TEN issues valid on the territory of the Russian Federation, relevant as of 06/15/2014. We also draw your attention to the fact that this guide is often erroneously called ETKS positions of managers and specialists(see ETKS works and occupations of workers).

Unfortunately, at the moment it is not possible to download all issues of the EKC in one archive from our website. However, you can find the positions you are interested in using the alphabetical index of positions or the rubricator of the EKS issues valid in the Russian Federation.

For many employees of the personnel service, the qualification directory of positions has become a reference book. Let's talk about the use of ETCS and CEN, as well as their upcoming cancellation in connection with the final transition to professional standards.

From the article you will learn:

Qualification directory of positions - managers, specialists, workers - a set of characteristics of the main types of work in professions related to various sectors of the economy. On duty, any personnel officer with experience had to turn to him. The Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation, together with the executive authorities regulating and coordinating individual economic sectors, is developing and updating unified tariff-qualification reference books (paragraph 2 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 787 of October 31, 2002).

5 main misconceptions about professional standards.

The status and procedure for the practical use of tariff-qualification guides is determined by Article 143 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. So, according to part 8 of article 143 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, when charging for work and assigning tariff categories to employees, the following apply:

  • unified tariff-qualification directory of works and professions of workers;
  • unified tariff qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees;
  • professional standards.

Download related documents:

There are even separate regulatory documents that describe in detail the rules for applying the ETKS (see "Procedure", approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 9 of February 9, 2004). Along with the provisions of the directories, state guarantees for wages, fixed by federal legislation, as well as recommendations from the tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations and the opinion of trade unions are taken into account. Details - in the notes "How to apply " And How ».

Important: the requirements of the ETCS and CEN apply primarily to labor relations, therefore, when concluding a civil law contract, the employer is not obliged to check the contractor for compliance with the criteria established by the directories.

Types and current editions of tariff-qualification guides

Currently, two types of qualification reference books are used - for workers (ETKS) and for employees, managers, specialists (EKS). The need to develop two separate documents arose due to significant differences in the specifics of the work assigned to different categories of personnel. Therefore, when setting tariffs or qualification requirements for working specialties (locksmith, foundry worker, welder, etc.), employers turn to ETKS, a directory of working professions.

If we are talking about a managerial or official position, the EKS is used - a unified qualification reference book for the positions of managers and employees. Read about the billing of different types of work in the article "How to install »: you will learn why it is so important to know the exact size of the minimum wage, how often wages should be indexed and whether it is legal to set different salaries for employees holding the same position.

Unified qualification directory of workers' positions

The tariff and qualification guide used to determine the complexity and payment of work, as well as to assign categories to workers, consists of more than 70 issues.

Each issue is dedicated to certain areas and areas of the economy, for example:

  1. No. 5 - geological exploration and topographic and geodetic works (approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 16 of February 17, 2000);
  2. No. 16 - for the production of medical instruments, instruments and equipment (approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 38 dated 5.03.2004);
  3. No. 24 - for general professions in chemical industries (approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 208 dated March 28, 2006);
  4. No. 50 - for the extraction and processing of fish and seafood (approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 73 of October 12, 2000);
  5. No. 52 - for railway, sea and river transport (approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 68n dated February 18, 2013);
  6. No. 57 - advertising and design, restoration and layout work (approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 135 dated March 21, 2008).

Some of the sections have lost their relevance (issues 30-31, 34, 38-39, 61-63, 65, 67-68), some were put into effect a very long time ago, still by Soviet decrees. For example, the sections “Dry cleaning and dyeing” and “Works and professions of laundry workers”, approved by the Decree of the USSR State Committee for Labor and the All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions No. 320 / 21-22 of October 31, 1984, have not yet been updated.

Qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees

The unified qualification directory of positions of specialists and employees (EKS) developed by the Institute of Labor was approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 37 of 08.21.1998. Since its approval, the document has been amended and supplemented more than ten times. The current version of the ETKS is applied without fail by all state and municipal organizations (in relation to positions for which professional standards have not been developed). Table "Categories and state civil service” will be useful for personnel officers of state institutions.

The requirements for commercial companies are not so strict. Nevertheless, Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation obliges all employers, without exception, to refer to professional standards or ETKS when entering positions in the staffing table related to the presence of restrictions or the provision of benefits. In other words, if the enterprise has positions that give the right to certain guarantees (early retirement, compensation for "harmfulness", etc.), their names must exactly match the wording of the ETKS or professional standards. Read more about the provision of benefits to employees in the articles "How to issue an employee's exit for "and" What compensation is due to the employee for work during ».

The document contains thirty sections in total. General characteristics of positions applicable to employees of enterprises, institutions and organizations of all industries are given in the first section, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 37 of 08.21.1998. The following are sections for individual industries:

  • research, design, design and survey areas;
  • health care;
  • education, including professional;
  • culture, art and cinematography;
  • labor protection;
  • electric power industry;
  • architectural and urban planning activities;
  • the spheres of civil defense and protection of the population from emergency situations, ensuring the safety of people at water, mountain and underground facilities;
  • geology and exploration of subsoil;
  • physical culture and sports;
  • tourism;
  • Agriculture;
  • state archives and documentation storage centers;
  • military units and organizations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation;
  • centers of metrology, standardization and certification;
  • systems of the state material reserve;
  • legal protection of the results of intellectual activity and means of individualization;
  • bodies for youth affairs;
  • road economy;
  • hydrometeorology;
  • countering technical intelligence and ensuring information security;
  • nuclear energy and floating nuclear power plants;
  • conflictology;
  • rocket and space industry;
  • translation activities;
  • forensic examination;
  • bodies of the Federal Migration Service.

If you pay attention to the dates of publication of orders of resolutions approving sections of the CEN, you can see that the most “fresh” provisions of the directory came into force in 2013. And since then they have not been updated, although before new sections were added almost annually. The reason for this state of affairs was the transition to professional standards - a more convenient and modern system for assessing qualifications. Details - in the note "How to apply ”: the expert will explain who will be primarily affected by changes in legislation, how often qualification standards will be updated and how to check an employee for compliance with new requirements.

Question from practice

How to write down the position of an employee in a work book if it was not indicated in the classifier of positions and professions?

Answer prepared in collaboration with the editors

Answered by Ivan Shklovets
Deputy Head of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment

Indicate the name of the employee's position in the work book in accordance with the organization's staffing table. At formation of the staffing table to an arbitrary indication of the positions of employees who receive benefits and compensation.

For example, work in a particular position may entitle an employee to early retirement. The list of positions, work in which gives the right to early appointment of a pension, is listed in the articles And Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ. If the position in the work book does not correspond to the qualification directory, the Pension Fund may deny the employee the right to an early pension ...

Ask your question to the experts

Unified qualification directory of positions as a predecessor of professional standards

From the system of professional standards, in connection with which additional norms appeared in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Articles 195.1-195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), the unified qualification directory for the positions of managers, employees and specialists differs not only in format. Occupational standards contain more clear and structured information about the labor functions performed by employees, and fully comply with the spirit of the times.

Previously, a specialist who received a specialized education could work all his life on the same equipment, using the usual technologies and knowledge that he received at a university or technical school. But modern technologies are developing rapidly, dramatically changing the content of work and the qualification characteristics of the position. We have to radically revise existing norms and introduce new standards. As ETKS and EKS (the unified tariff and qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees) gradually lose their relevance, employers are increasingly turning to professional standards when:

  • recruitment;
  • training, retraining, certification and career planning of employees;
  • drafting job descriptions and staffing;
  • formation of a personnel policy and a tariff scale for the work performed;
  • development of wage systems.

Important: the professional standard is a universal document that establishes requirements for the conditions and content of work, as well as for the skills, knowledge and experience of a specialist.

It takes an average of 9-12 months to develop a “standard” for each individual position, so today, despite active work in this direction, new standards for a number of specialties and types of work have not yet been approved. Consequently, in 2018, it is too early to write off the unified qualification directory of employee positions and the tariff and qualification directory of working specialties.

But if there is a choice between ETKS (EKS) and the current professional standard (and there are already more than a thousand such positions), preference should be given to the latter. At least because the final abolition of reference books and a complete transition to a system of professional standards applied taking into account certain industry requirements are planned for the coming years (see letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 14-0 / 10 / 13-2253 of 04.04.

Transition to professional standards: step by step instructions

For commercial organizations, professional standards are advisory in nature. They become mandatory only in two cases (as well as directories):

  • when the legislator establishes compensation or benefits for a certain type of work, or restrictions are provided for its implementation (Article 57, 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
  • when the requirements for work experience and qualifications of an employee are established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, federal legislation or other regulatory legal acts (Article 195.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In the first case, you should make sure that the name of the position in the staff list, employment contract, employment order and other local documents matches the wording of the professional standard. Other aspects - features of the labor function, requirements for the level of education and length of service in the specialty - remain at the discretion of the employer. A detailed analysis of difficult situations is in the articles “How to maintain a discharge for a worker on ETKS, if ”, “How to check if the professional standard” and “How to overcome the 6 main problems that arise when ».

As for the second category of workers (which includes legal workers, teachers, doctors, and even private detectives), the requirements of professional standards apply to them in full. To understand what specific positions we are talking about, look at the table " for which the law establishes qualification requirements.

Organizations, enterprises and institutions of the public sector, as well as all non-budgetary funds, corporations and companies with a state share of more than 50%, are required to switch to professional standards, whether they want it or not. To make the transition less painful, it is allowed to introduce new norms in stages (until January 1, 2020, as required by clause 1.2 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 584 of 06/27/2016). To help the personnel officer - articles "When , and when the professional standard. Six controversial situations” and “How professional standards will affect ».

Since the legislator does not regulate the procedure for switching to a system of professional standards, the employer himself decides how to act, based on the needs of the organization and the specifics of its activities.

The whole process can be divided into five successive stages:

  1. formation of a working group or commission, in which representatives of key departments (legal and personnel services, accounting, etc.) participate;
  2. development of a work schedule for the implementation of professional standards;
  3. familiarization of the heads of departments and services with the schedule and the legislative framework, in accordance with which the transition is carried out;
  4. implementation of activities provided for by the schedule;
  5. summarizing the work of the commission and approving the report on the results.

Practical situation

Staffing: how to enter information without errors

The answer was prepared jointly with the editors of the journal " »

Answered by Nina KOVYAZINA,
Deputy Director of the Department of Medical Education and Personnel Policy in Health Care of the Ministry of Health of Russia

We have a small organization, and there are departments in which one person works. If an employee is a manager, should there be subordinates in the department?

Formally, the Labor Code does not prohibit the employer from creating structural units that consist of only one employee, in particular the head of the department. At the same time, the position of "leader" involves the management of subordinates. For example, the Qualification Handbook provides for such an obligation for the position of “head of personnel department” (approved by ). Qualification guides are advisory in nature. But there are exceptions...

The full version of the answer is available after free

The first step is to issue an order to establish a commission. The order lists by name all members of the commission (working group), and also indicates the time allotted for familiarization with the regulatory documentation and the development of a schedule.

Each protocol is certified by the signatures of the members of the working group, including the chairman.

To change the name of the position, amend the employment contract or approve new local standards, the director of the company gives a written order (see article " does not meet the professional standard: what to do”). Fortunately, the law does not prohibit combining orders of the same type into one order and thereby saving resources. The article "Tricks that will make it easier for you to work with » will help to minimize the labor costs associated with the execution of orders, contracts, familiarization sheets and other documentation.

In the legislation of the Russian Federation, a number of normative acts have been adopted that establish the procedure for classifying working professions, as well as positions of employees. What is the purpose of these sources of law? Which of them are among the most demanded at Russian enterprises?

9149 - this figure shows that we are talking about the profession of a turner;

6 - this figure is a control number;

02 - the corresponding indicator indicates that the profession corresponds to the 2nd edition of the Unified Qualification Handbook;

7223 - this figure reflects the correspondence of the profession to the base group related to the Classifier of Occupations;

5 - the corresponding indicator reflects the fact that a person needs to have the 5th tariff category;

12 - this figure shows that a piece-bonus scheme for calculating salaries for employees is used;

1 - the corresponding indicator reflects that the working profession is characterized by normal working conditions;

2 - this figure means that a person carries out his labor activity through machines and mechanisms.

It turns out that the turner profession code, generated based on the criteria reflected in the Classifier, will look like 19149602722351212.

Similarly, the list of professions of the Russian Federation also provides for facet codes when classifying the positions of employees. Let's consider them.

Facet codes for employees according to the Classifier

In this case, we are talking about codes that reflect the category of the position - they contain 1 character, as well as indicating a specific position according to the Classifier of Occupations, in which 4 characters are fixed.

Through 3 facets, positions are reflected on such grounds as:

Derived positions (facet 11, represented by 2 characters);

It can be noted that facets 11 and 12 are selected based on the specifics of a particular position. So, in derivative positions qualification is not fixed. Therefore, only facet 11 is selected for the respective positions.

Employee position code: example

For example, a position such as deputy head of the financial and economic department of an enterprise will have a code consisting of indicators such as:

2 - denoting the position;

4695 - reflecting the fact that we are talking about the position of the head of the department;

1 - used as a control number;

1 - reflecting the fact that we are talking about the category of managers in the enterprise;

1231 - indicating the relationship of the position with the corresponding base group in the Occupation Classifier;

03 - reflecting the fact that we are talking about a derived position.

The relationship of OK 016-94 and the classifier of occupations

It can be noted that between the objects of the Classifier, which was introduced by the Decree of the State Standard on the approval of the list of professions and positions, and those that are present in the Classifier of occupations, it is assumed that there are links that allow the former to be attributed to one group or another within the list to which the latter belong. . That is, each position - a worker or an employee, as a rule, can be attributed to a certain category of occupation.

However, it should be noted that taking into account the fact that such concepts as “occupation”, “profession”, as well as “position” differ significantly from each other, the employee of the personnel department of the enterprise who uses the Classifier in question may need to use explanations to individual groupings of the Occupation Classifier - in order to determine an unambiguous connection with its objects of those positions that are provided for by the considered official list of professions and positions.

The qualification directory of positions of workers and employees in 2019 is used to establish duties and assign a rank to an employee, to conduct certification. For workers and managers, these directories are different. What directories to use and in what cases, we will tell in the article.

Qualification directory of positions of workers and employees in 2019: types

The employer himself decides which to approve the name of the position and profession of the employee. But if an employee claims compensation or benefits, then the name of his position must correspond to the qualification reference books (paragraph 3, part 2, article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For example, when granting the right to early retirement or additional paid leave.

In Russia, there are two reference books that employers should be guided by:

  • ETKS - Unified Tariff and Qualification Directory of Works and Working Occupations;
  • CEN - Unified qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees.

That is, a unified qualification reference book for the positions of workers and employees in 2019 was not approved. The current two directories differ in the specifics of the work of different categories of employees.

Why do we need ETCS and CEN

  • to assign a tariff category to workers and employees;
  • set the salary of civil servants;
  • conduct certification and determine whether the employee meets the position and qualification requirements;
  • develop proper instructions;
  • prepare a program of advanced training courses.

Note that the CEN and ECTS reference books have not been updated for a long time. This is due to the fact that professional standards are being introduced to replace them. How to switch to professional standards, read at the end of the article.

The job description must list all the duties assigned to the employee in accordance with the practice of distributing labor functions that has developed in the structural unit. When compiling the section, you can use the All-Russian classifier of occupations OK 010-2014 (MSKZ-08), adopted and put into effect by the order of Rosstandart of December 12, 2014 No. 2020-st, and the Qualification Handbook, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia of August 21, 1998 No. 37.

You can also be guided by approved professional standards. These documents provide an indicative list of responsibilities of various positions. How to accurately write a job description >>>

Qualification directory of positions in 2019

The Unified Tariff and Qualification Handbook of Works and Occupations (ETKS) is a voluminous document. It was approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of May 12, 1992 No. 15a and includes 72 issues. Each issue is divided into sections, in which positions are grouped according to some attribute: type of activity, sector of the national economy where they are applied. For instance:

Release 1 the section “Professions of workers common to all sectors of the national economy” (approved by the Decree of the USSR State Committee for Labor, the Secretariat of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated January 31, 1985 No. 31 / 3-30);

Release 2 sections: "Foundry work", "Locksmith work", "Enameling", etc. (approved by the resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of November 15, 1999 No. 45);

Release 3 section "Construction, installation and repair and construction works" (approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of 04/06/2007 No. 243), etc.

Note that some sections of the ETKS have already become invalid. These are issues 30-31, 38-39, 62-63, 65, 67-68. Some of the sections were introduced by Soviet decrees and have not been updated for a long time. For example, issue 17 section "Production of abrasives" (approved by the Decree of the USSR State Committee for Labor, All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated February 8, 1983 No. 20 / 4-41).

Qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees - 2019

The CEN was approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of August 21, 1998 No. 37. It was developed on the basis of the All-Russian Classifier of Positions and Professions - OKPDTR (Decree of the State Standard of the Russian Federation of December 26, 1994 No. 367).

The CAS includes a list of qualification characteristics (job responsibilities and requirements for the level of knowledge and qualifications) of managers, specialists and employees, depending on the field of activity.

The handbook has 30 sections. General characteristics of the positions of employees of enterprises, institutions and organizations of all industries are spelled out in the first section. In the remaining sections - information for individual industries:

  • health care;
  • research, design, design and survey areas;
  • education, including professional;
  • culture, art and cinematography;
  • labor protection;
  • electric power industry;
  • architectural and urban planning activities;
  • the spheres of civil defense and protection of the population from emergency situations, ensuring the safety of people at water, mountain and underground facilities;
  • geology and exploration of subsoil;
  • physical culture and sports;
  • tourism;
  • agriculture, etc.

Note that the CEN and ECTS directories have not been updated for a long time, and this is not accidental. Since officials are gradually introducing professional standards to replace them. What are their differences from CEN and ECTS, read below in the article.

The employee worked in the company as the head of one of the production shifts. One day he learned that his colleagues - those who led the other two shifts - had a higher salary. The employee was indignant: people work in similar positions, perform identical work, but for some reason their salaries are higher. This is discrimination, the employee decided and went to court. He demanded that the company revise his salary upwards, give out the money that he did not receive, and transfer compensation for the delay in salary. The company refused to raise the employee's salary. In court, she stated that there were no grounds for this, and

Replacing ECTS and EKS with professional standards

Qualification guides will soon become a thing of the past, they will be replaced by professional standards. For example, they already exist for welders (List 2, approved by Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR dated 01.26.91 No. 10). Unlike ECTS and EKS, professional standards contain more specific information on a position or profession.

Like qualified reference books, it is necessary to apply the professional standard in two cases. The first is that the requirements for the position of an employee are established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, federal law or other regulatory act. The second is when an employee is entitled to compensation or benefits for a certain type of work, or restrictions are set in connection with work in a specific position.

Transition to professional standards: step by step instructions

At the legislative level, the procedure for the transition to professional standards is not regulated. We recommend that you follow this algorithm.

Step 1. Approve the working group. To do this, issue an order to establish a commission (see sample 1). Its participants will introduce professional standards into the work of the organization. The number and composition of the commission members are not limited. But it is better that these are employees of different departments and structures. For example, include a lawyer, personnel officer, chief accountant, etc. in the group.

Group responsibilities include:

  • selection of professional standards for positions and professions that are in the company;
  • reconciliation of labor functions in job descriptions and professional standards;
  • development of draft new job descriptions;
  • preparation of a report on the work done, etc.

And do not forget about the deadlines when the group members must complete the event. For convenience, you can draw up a schedule for the implementation of professional standards.

Order on the approval of the working group

Step 2. Change job descriptions. Make adjustments to the job descriptions of employees and clarify their labor functions, requirements for the level of education, work experience will be required if they differ or diverge from what is written in the standard. New job responsibilities are approved by a separate order.

Step 3. Design a training program. To do this, issue an order in which you determine who, where and when will improve their qualifications. If you need a secondary or higher education to perform the work, foresee in advance at whose expense the employee will be trained. This provision must be reflected in internal documents.

Step 4. Conduct employee appraisal. This step is optional. But according to the results of certification, it is possible to determine whether the knowledge, skills, abilities and work experience of employees meet the requirements of professional standards.

If the company does not have a separate attestation regulation, then first develop it. To do this, issue a separate order. It reflects the terms of certification, approve the composition of the commission. Also determine who and when will list the employees who will pass the qualifying exam. But remember that certification must be notified to employees in advance.

Certification can be in any form: testing, questionnaires, interviews, exams, etc. If it shows an insufficient level of qualification, the employer has the right to transfer the employee to another position.

Step 5. Fix the transition to professional standards. This event is associated with a large amount of paperwork, so draw up the decisions of the working group in separate protocols.

Each protocol should be certified by all members of the group. To make changes to the name of the position and additions to the employment contract, issue an order and sign it with the director.

New professional standard for accountants approved

In the professional standard, labor functions were expanded, the requirements for education and work experience were changed. From April 6, the new professional standard "Accountant" is in effect. It added accountants of categories I and II. Whether or not an employee meets the new requirements is checked during an independent qualification assessment.

The qualification directory of positions of workers and employees in 2019 is used to establish duties and assign a rank to an employee, to conduct certification. For workers and managers, these directories are different. What directories to use and in what cases, we will tell in the article.

Qualification directory of positions of workers and employees in 2019: types

The employer himself decides which to approve the name of the position and profession of the employee. But if an employee claims compensation or benefits, then the name of his position must correspond to the qualification reference books (paragraph 3, part 2, article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For example, when granting the right to early retirement or additional paid leave.

In Russia, there are two reference books that employers should be guided by:

  • ETKS - Unified Tariff and Qualification Directory of Works and Working Occupations;
  • CEN - Unified qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees.

That is, a unified qualification reference book for the positions of workers and employees in 2019 was not approved. The current two directories differ in the specifics of the work of different categories of employees.

Why do we need ETCS and CEN

  • to assign a tariff category to workers and employees;
  • set the salary of civil servants;
  • conduct certification and determine whether the employee meets the position and qualification requirements;
  • develop proper instructions;
  • prepare a program of advanced training courses.

Note that the CEN and ECTS reference books have not been updated for a long time. This is due to the fact that professional standards are being introduced to replace them. How to switch to professional standards, read at the end of the article.

The job description must list all the duties assigned to the employee in accordance with the practice of distributing labor functions that has developed in the structural unit. When compiling the section, you can use the All-Russian classifier of occupations OK 010-2014 (MSKZ-08), adopted and put into effect by the order of Rosstandart of December 12, 2014 No. 2020-st, and the Qualification Handbook, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of Russia of August 21, 1998 No. 37.

You can also be guided by approved professional standards. These documents provide an indicative list of responsibilities of various positions. How to accurately write a job description >>>

Qualification directory of positions in 2019

The Unified Tariff and Qualification Handbook of Works and Occupations (ETKS) is a voluminous document. It was approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of May 12, 1992 No. 15a and includes 72 issues. Each issue is divided into sections, in which positions are grouped according to some attribute: type of activity, sector of the national economy where they are applied. For instance:

Release 1 the section “Professions of workers common to all sectors of the national economy” (approved by the Decree of the USSR State Committee for Labor, the Secretariat of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated January 31, 1985 No. 31 / 3-30);

Release 2 sections: "Foundry work", "Locksmith work", "Enameling", etc. (approved by the resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of November 15, 1999 No. 45);

Release 3 section "Construction, installation and repair and construction works" (approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of 04/06/2007 No. 243), etc.

Note that some sections of the ETKS have already become invalid. These are issues 30-31, 38-39, 62-63, 65, 67-68. Some of the sections were introduced by Soviet decrees and have not been updated for a long time. For example, issue 17 section "Production of abrasives" (approved by the Decree of the USSR State Committee for Labor, All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated February 8, 1983 No. 20 / 4-41).

Qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and employees - 2019

The CEN was approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of August 21, 1998 No. 37. It was developed on the basis of the All-Russian Classifier of Positions and Professions - OKPDTR (Decree of the State Standard of the Russian Federation of December 26, 1994 No. 367).

The CAS includes a list of qualification characteristics (job responsibilities and requirements for the level of knowledge and qualifications) of managers, specialists and employees, depending on the field of activity.

The handbook has 30 sections. General characteristics of the positions of employees of enterprises, institutions and organizations of all industries are spelled out in the first section. In the remaining sections - information for individual industries:

  • health care;
  • research, design, design and survey areas;
  • education, including professional;
  • culture, art and cinematography;
  • labor protection;
  • electric power industry;
  • architectural and urban planning activities;
  • the spheres of civil defense and protection of the population from emergency situations, ensuring the safety of people at water, mountain and underground facilities;
  • geology and exploration of subsoil;
  • physical culture and sports;
  • tourism;
  • agriculture, etc.

Note that the CEN and ECTS directories have not been updated for a long time, and this is not accidental. Since officials are gradually introducing professional standards to replace them. What are their differences from CEN and ECTS, read below in the article.

The employee worked in the company as the head of one of the production shifts. One day he learned that his colleagues - those who led the other two shifts - had a higher salary. The employee was indignant: people work in similar positions, perform identical work, but for some reason their salaries are higher. This is discrimination, the employee decided and went to court. He demanded that the company revise his salary upwards, give out the money that he did not receive, and transfer compensation for the delay in salary. The company refused to raise the employee's salary. In court, she stated that there were no grounds for this, and

Replacing ECTS and EKS with professional standards

Qualification guides will soon become a thing of the past, they will be replaced by professional standards. For example, they already exist for welders (List 2, approved by Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR dated 01.26.91 No. 10). Unlike ECTS and EKS, professional standards contain more specific information on a position or profession.

Like qualified reference books, it is necessary to apply the professional standard in two cases. The first is that the requirements for the position of an employee are established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, federal law or other regulatory act. The second is when an employee is entitled to compensation or benefits for a certain type of work, or restrictions are set in connection with work in a specific position.

Transition to professional standards: step by step instructions

At the legislative level, the procedure for the transition to professional standards is not regulated. We recommend that you follow this algorithm.

Step 1. Approve the working group. To do this, issue an order to establish a commission (see sample 1). Its participants will introduce professional standards into the work of the organization. The number and composition of the commission members are not limited. But it is better that these are employees of different departments and structures. For example, include a lawyer, personnel officer, chief accountant, etc. in the group.

Group responsibilities include:

  • selection of professional standards for positions and professions that are in the company;
  • reconciliation of labor functions in job descriptions and professional standards;
  • development of draft new job descriptions;
  • preparation of a report on the work done, etc.

And do not forget about the deadlines when the group members must complete the event. For convenience, you can draw up a schedule for the implementation of professional standards.

Order on the approval of the working group

Step 2. Change job descriptions. Make adjustments to the job descriptions of employees and clarify their labor functions, requirements for the level of education, work experience will be required if they differ or diverge from what is written in the standard. New job responsibilities are approved by a separate order.

Step 3. Design a training program. To do this, issue an order in which you determine who, where and when will improve their qualifications. If you need a secondary or higher education to perform the work, foresee in advance at whose expense the employee will be trained. This provision must be reflected in internal documents.

Step 4. Conduct employee appraisal. This step is optional. But according to the results of certification, it is possible to determine whether the knowledge, skills, abilities and work experience of employees meet the requirements of professional standards.

If the company does not have a separate attestation regulation, then first develop it. To do this, issue a separate order. It reflects the terms of certification, approve the composition of the commission. Also determine who and when will list the employees who will pass the qualifying exam. But remember that certification must be notified to employees in advance.

Certification can be in any form: testing, questionnaires, interviews, exams, etc. If it shows an insufficient level of qualification, the employer has the right to transfer the employee to another position.

Step 5. Fix the transition to professional standards. This event is associated with a large amount of paperwork, so draw up the decisions of the working group in separate protocols.

Each protocol should be certified by all members of the group. To make changes to the name of the position and additions to the employment contract, issue an order and sign it with the director.
