Step 1
Prevention is always cheaper and more profitable than liquidation of the consequences, so if you have not lost your work record book, make a notarized copy of it. If the trouble has already happened, then you will have to restore it yourself.
Step 2
The process of restoring a work book is not a difficult, but time-consuming exercise that requires a lot of patience. To restore your work book, you must visit all the places of your former work and preferably in chronological order. In the personnel department of these institutions, you must enter the data in a new work book that you were an employee of this company during the specified period.
Step 3
Going to your former place of work, take your passport, your employment contract and all the documents you have (certificates, pay stamps, etc.) with you. The fact is that HR employees may try to refuse you or postpone this issue under various pretexts. The most common reasons are the absence of an authorized person on the spot and you do not have all the necessary documents. Stand firm on your own, they have no right to refuse you.
Step 4
Arriving at your former place of work, you found a completely different company. Don't rush to leave. Perhaps the company you worked for just changed its name. It is possible that it was taken over by a larger company. In this case, their HR department should restore the data in your work book. Because before the merge, the documents are moved to shared archives.
Step 5
But what should you do when the company in which you have worked for several years has ceased to exist? When a company is liquidated, its management is obliged to transfer all its documentation to the city archive. You just have to find out the address of the archive, and ask them for a certificate stating that during the specified period you were an employee of the closed company.
Step 6
If the documents of this company were not in the archive, then try to find out if the company was renamed before closing. In this case, you need to request the company's documentation by its latest name.
Step 7
But many bankrupt companies are in no hurry to transfer their documents to the state archives. In this case, you can defend your legal rights in court. Gather all the documents you have, directly or indirectly confirming that you worked in this enterprise. Find two former co-workers who are willing to confirm that you worked with them at the specified company. In accordance with Chapter 28 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, go to court.
