If your work obligation period ended, the following handout provides step-by-step steps to calculate your employment period; you can calculate your own employment period using the employment period calculator. - click to download

In case the scholarship recipient has been working in the cities of Astana, Almaty and Shymkent (for graduates who signed an agreement on the organization of training from June 19, 2018) where the period of work is 5 years, followed by work in the regional centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan, where the period of work is 3 years, or in educational organizations in the cities of regional, district significance and other districts of the region, where the period of work is 2 years, and vice versa, calculation of days worked is carried out by adding the percentage ratio of the number of days worked in the cities of Astana, Almaty and Shymkent (hereinafter - A%) with the number of days worked in the regional centers (hereinafter - B%) and in the cities of regional, district significance and other districts of the region in educational organizations (hereinafter - C%) in the following order:

A% + B% + C% = 100% (total labor time served).

1) To calculate the A% you need to:

A% = X *(multiply) 100% /(divide) 1825 days (where A% – percentage ratio to the number of days worked, X – number of days worked).

Suppose when working in Astana: out of 1825 days (5 years) you have worked 730 days (2 years), then the percentage ratio is calculated as follows:

А% = 730×100% / 1825 = 40%.

So, you need to work in regional centers or in cities of regional, district significance and other areas of the region in educational organizations, the remaining 60% in the calculation below.

2) To calculate the B% you need to:

B% = X *(multiply) 100% /(divide) 1095 days (where B% – percentage ratio to the number of days worked, X – number of days worked).

Let's assume that when working in the region, for example in Atyrau: out of 1095 days (3 years) you worked 365 days (1 year), then the percentage ratio is calculated as follows:

В% = 365×100% / 1095 = 33,33%.

3) To calculate C% you need to:

C% = X *(multiply) 100% /(divide) 730 days (where C% – is the percentage of days worked, X – is the number of days worked).

Let's assume that when working in the organization of education in the city of regional significance, for example, in Rudnyi Kostanay region: from 730 days (2 years) you worked 365 days (1 year), then the percentage ratio is calculated as follows:

С% = 365×100% / 730 = 50%.

Then add your worked 40% in Astana to 33.33% in Atyrau and to 50% in Rudny, Kostanay region and you get 123.33%. It means that you have fulfilled your contractual obligations in full and the term of your employment is sufficient to remove the encumbrance from the immovable property.

The calculation of the period of time worked is carried   out at the location of the organization where the scholarship holder carried out his/her main employment activity, receiving his/her main salary in  accordance with subparagraph 59) of paragraph 1 of Article 1 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (was at the workplace). Remote work is not the main labor activity.

Additionally, we would like to inform you that in case the Fellow worked in parallel in several organizations, accruals received in one month from several organizations will be counted as one month worked with one monthly pension contribution.

It should be noted that the periods when a graduate is on maternity leave and childcare leave are counted as part of the time frame of the employment period (provided that the graduate is in these periods in accordance with the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).

In this case, the scholarship holder must necessarily provide an extract from the orders or copies of the orders on granting maternity leave, on granting leave without pay to care for a child up to the age of three years, as well as a copy of the child's birth certificate.

If you have additional questions, you may contact the Office of Alumni Relations staff on the phone numbers listed in the Contact Us section.
