Need to become an honorary blood donor. Benefits for honorary donors of Russia

Donation, or donation of blood, refers to the donation own blood, as well as its components on a voluntary basis. Given the constant demand for blood transfusions, we can note the demand for donors. Except whole blood, the donor can donate:

  • Plasma, including its immune part;
  • red blood cells;
  • platelets;
  • Leukocytes;
  • Granulocytes.

Obtaining components from blood is a complex biochemical process carried out by passing whole blood through a separating extractor. The required components are removed from the blood, and the rest is returned back to the donor. Many are interested in the amount of donation. The standard norm is no more than 450 ml at a time. It takes 10 to 15 minutes to get this amount of solid material. To obtain plasma, the sampling time increases to 30 minutes, platelets - more than an hour.

How to become a donor

You can become a donor and receive a payment:

  • any adult citizen of Russia;
  • registered or registered at the place of actual residence;
  • which has no contraindications;
  • body weight exceeds 50 kg.

Contraindications may be permanent ( serious illness) or temporary (restrictions to certain persons for time intervals).

Donation payment

The law provides for certain benefits for blood donors, including the provision of meals, extra days recreation, etc.

Last year, it was officially forbidden to replace food for those who donated blood and its components with a cash payment. Today to replace food with money, the donor will need to write an application.

Value cash payment depends on the subsistence minimum in the subject of the Russian Federation, is 5% of this amount. Regions can increase this percentage at their own discretion.

For gratuitous blood donation a certain number of times, a citizen is awarded the badge of an honorary donor and he is assigned an annual cash payment.

The issue of payment for donations is often raised, this is especially true when donating a rare 4th blood group with a negative Rh factor.

List of Benefits for the Donor

The prescribed benefits and payments to blood donors in Russia in 2019 did not change much compared to previous periods.

The legislation establishes the following benefits for Russian donors:

  • - the day of donation and any at the choice of the donor;

  • For free blood donation, the donor receives the Honorary Donor badge. This sign gives the right to payments and some benefits.
In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, authorities may establish additional benefits for donors, for example, free travel by public transport or some agreed free services household character.

If you want to learn more about what benefits blood donors have, you need to refer to the current legislation on this issue.

Honorary Donor in Russia


The Government of the Russian Federation approved the “Honorary Donor” badge for donating blood, which is a distinction and provides the owner with certain benefits and an annual payment to an honorary donor.

To receive the title of "Honorary Donor of Russia", any person needs to donate his blood, plasma or some components without charging a material fee of forty or more times.

If blood components, blood and plasma are donated more than 15 times, then there is also the possibility of obtaining a status. Decrees on the presentation of a certificate, as well as on awarding, are issued only by the Ministry of Health and Social Development. "Honorary Donor of the USSR" has all the rights to the same benefits.

Do you need on the subject? and our lawyers will contact you shortly.

List of documents required to obtain the status of an honorary donor

  • medical certificates confirming that you donated plasma or blood;
  • the passport.

Benefits for honorary donors

For honorary donors, the following benefits are provided:

  • wellness services out of turn in public hospitals, clinics and similar organizations;
  • annual free rest in any period of time for the donor;
  • non-taxable cash compensation that changes with inflation;
  • issuance of travel tickets for a trip to sanatoriums or resorts so that a person can pass complex treatment. Delivery is carried out without queues.

The procedure for obtaining benefits for an honorary donor

At each visit to the blood donation station, the donor fills out a questionnaire, undergoes an examination by a doctor and an initial laboratory examination. After the donation procedure, a person receives a certificate stating that he is a donor and can already use monetary compensation for lunch at a rate of 5% discount.

To apply for benefits with the title of "Honorary Donor", you must contact the Ministry of Health and social development and submit documents. The Ministry will consider and study your application within forty-five days, then it will decide whether or not to award the person with the status of "Honorary Donor".

To receive an annual payment, you need:

  • statement;
  • certificate of "Honorary Donor";
  • the passport.

Benefits in the regions

There are two types of benefits: federal benefits and regional.

Moscow provides for people who have donated blood free of charge additional social benefits of such kind:

  • if a Muscovite has a special social card, a well-deserved donor can public transport travel is completely free;
  • has the right to dentures and their repair absolutely free of charge, these benefits do not apply to other prosthetics;
  • this person uses housing and communal services with a fifty percent discount and can buy medicines with the same discount, which is a very good bonus, especially for pensioners;
  • also possessing the “Honorary Donor” badge, a person automatically has the right to the possible assignment of the “Veteran of Labor” status to him.
The pension does not depend on donation and does not change in any way, even if you have the status of "Honorary Donor".

What benefits are provided by St. Petersburg, Ufa, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod, and other regions? There are no additional benefits other than federal ones in these areas. Regional fringe benefits were abolished in 2004. Annual payments in other regions, they are produced taking into account the prices of the region, in Moscow they are slightly higher.

Replacing meals with cash


The payments to donors returned by the Ministry of Health in 2015 imply the possibility of replacing free food with money, namely 5% of the subsistence minimum in the region.

Currently, this amount is about 400 rubles.

The order to replace hot meals with compensation was signed by the Russian Ministry of Health. Hot food - necessary measure to restore the healthy tone of the donated blood human body. Mobile stations that are unable to provide people with such support are a separate issue. In them, due to the lack of the ability to organize food, payments for blood donation are made without an application.

To receive compensation in cash, the donor must write an application. What amount is due to a person who donated blood, for example, in Moscow? This is 5% of the subsistence minimum established in the 1st quarter of 2018 (14,800 rubles), which is about 740 rubles.

Earlier, other payments to donors were made in the capital. For example, 100 ml of whole blood was estimated at 650 rubles, plateletpheresis - 4500 rubles, erythrocytes - 6000 rubles. Today, after the introduction of the new version of the Law "On the donation of blood and its components", only the donation of rare blood groups and its components is paid. For the rest of Muscovites, only free hot meals (full lunch) are offered.

Our state provides for a number of benefits and subsidies for citizens who have been awarded the titles of "Honorary Donor of Russia" and "Veteran of Labor". How to get both of these statuses, and what kind of preferences are provided for at the legislative level?

The concepts of "Honorary Donor of Russia" and "Veteran of Labor"

"Veteran of Labor" is a special title that is awarded to persons who have a certain length of service and awards for work. () This status gives the right to insurance pension payments in an increased amount.

The length of service for obtaining this category is established by the current Federal and regional legislation, and depends on working conditions, the climatic zone and other factors.

Usually for women this is at least 20 years of continuous experience, and for men - 25.

The status of "Honorary Donor" is regulated by other norms of legislation and is assigned to citizens who have donated blood or its components in a certain amount throughout their lives (40 or more times).

To encourage people to useful cause, the state has developed special programs, and amended the pension legislation, allowing an honorary donor to be equated with a veteran of labor, and receive similar pensions and benefits.

These two statuses are governed by different regulatory framework, so they cannot be identified. Each of them provides certain benefits and compensations.

It must be remembered that such a title as "Honorary Donor" is assigned by the Government on the basis of the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in accordance with dated 07/20/2012.

Legal framework

Can an honorary donor of Russia receive the title of "Veteran of Labor" and take advantage of all the benefits and other material compensation?

This issue is clearly regulated by the following legal acts:

  1. Federal Legislative Act No. 125 of July 20, 2012 “On Donors”. Articles 23, 24 of this law establish the legal grounds for obtaining this status, as well as the amount of donation of blood and its components that a person must donate in order to be awarded this title.
  2. Federal legislative act under the number of the year, regulating the procedure for calculating pensions. The norms of its articles 30 and 32 say that citizens who have received the status of "Honorary Donor" have the full right to receive a special pension.
  3. Regional legal documents that regulate the receipt of donor and veteran statuses in specific subjects of the Russian Federation.

Based on the above regulations, the titles of "Honorary Donor of Russia" and "Veteran of Labor", although they differ from each other, give citizens the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits and privileges given to these categories of people. But it's worth considering! The title of "Honorary Donor" does not give privileges for conferring the title of "Veteran of Labor" because donation is not considered a contribution to employment.

Special attention should be paid to judicial practice on such issues. The Supreme Court in 2009 put an end to disputes related to the appointment of pension payments to people who often donate blood, and receive state preferences from this.

You need to know that an honorary donor is entitled to a special distinguishing sign and a corresponding certificate. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the medal "Honorary Donor" does not apply to state awards.

Who is given this title?

Stateless persons can also count on such a status, but at the time of registration of documents they must have a residence permit and prepare to become citizens of Russia. Registration of citizenship for such persons is necessary in order to take advantage of the benefits and other compensations provided for by the PD, and receive an insurance pension.

It is important to remember that stateless people, even if they donated a lot of their blood, cannot count on pensions, benefits and other privileges in the Russian Federation. Only citizens of our country have the right to this.

How many times do you need to donate blood

To earn this title, a person must fulfill the condition specified in Federal Law No. 125 (donate blood a certain number of times).

PD statuses are assigned to the following people:

  • donating blood or its constituent components (excluding plasma) more than forty times;
  • those who donated blood or its components more than 20 times;
  • individuals who donated blood plasma more than 60 times;
  • people who donated blood with its constituent components and plasma more than 60 times.

In some regions, separate requirements for the amount of donated blood are established in order to receive donor payments and other compensations. For example, to receive the title of "Honorary Donor of Moscow" it is enough to donate more than 20 times blood and more than 30 times plasma.

To receive the title of "Honorary Donor", only free donated blood is considered.

What documents do you need to provide

If a labor veteran wants to become an honorary donor, then such a person must submit a certain package of documents to the Ministry of Health:

  • medical certificates from the relevant institutions on the fact of donating blood, its components, certified by the seals and signatures of the relevant employees (in the case of free blood donation);
  • medical papers on paid blood donation and its constituent parts, duly certified, indicating the amount of funds paid;
  • a medical donor card (book), where each fact of the donation of this biological material is recorded;
  • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or a document confirming a residence permit.

It must be remembered that all facts of blood donation must be recorded. If, for example, it was rented out for acquaintances, friends, and in medical institution that does not specialize in accepting, processing and transporting donated blood will not count.

Benefits for honorary donors

Having figured out whether an honorary donor is a labor veteran or not, we now need to determine what kind of benefits are due to such people.

They fall into several categories:

  1. Labor preferences. The right to additional paid time off, separate holidays for up to two weeks, regardless of the main one.
  2. Assignment this status at the same time gives the right to receive annual material compensation in the amount of 13 thousand rubles, benefits and compensations provided for by Federal and regional legislation.
  3. Extraordinary medical service in state and municipal health care institutions.
  4. Getting free wellness vouchers to boarding houses and.

Need to know what regional bodies also have the right to give such citizens additional preferences. For example, discounts on utility bills.

Early retirement for honorary donors

Since the status of "Honorary Donor" does not give privileges for conferring the title of "Veteran of Labor", then there can be no talk of accruing an early pension. This is directly regulated by the norms of Articles 30 and 32 of the Law "On Insurance Pensions", which state that badges and statuses of this category of citizens do not apply to departmental distinguishing signs, letters of honor and other equivalent documents. Therefore, PD cannot count on such a preference.

You need to know that if someone who often donates blood has sufficient seniority or departmental orders and awards, he is entitled to early retirement, but not according to the above status.

Donor blood transfusion will be required for every third person at least once in a lifetime. If there is no spare blood in hospitals, the patient may die.

Donating blood is not painful or scary. You help other people, and the state will thank you. I'll tell you how to become a donor and get bonuses from it.

Who can become a donor

Anyone can become a donor in Russia healthy man over 18 years old. Donation has contraindications:

donors per 1,000 inhabitants is needed to cover the need for donated blood, according to the WHO. In Russia, they are three times less

  • chronic or contagious diseases;
  • weight less than 50 kg.

Those who have had the flu, SARS or tonsillitis should temporarily refrain from donating blood. To become a donor after piercings, tattoos, childbirth or surgery, you need to wait 6-12 months.

What is blood donation

Whole blood. At one time, doctors take 450 ml of blood from a vein. Men can donate blood no more than once every two months, women - once every three months.

platelets or plasma. AT modern medicine It is not the whole blood that is needed, but its components: plasma and platelets. When donating, the components are separated from the blood, the rest is returned to the vein along with saline to normalize pressure. Blood components can be taken every 2 weeks. Every 4-6 donations take a break for a month.

If you become a regular donor, you will most often donate blood components. Donate them 10-20 times a year and become an honorary donor in 3-6 years.

Donate blood ahead of time it will not work: all donors are entered in a single register and they simply will not let you in at the transfusion station. Violating the deadline is harmful to health, because the body does not have time to recover.

blood in quarantine

After the first blood donation, she is placed in quarantine for 6 months. During this time, the donor must once again donate blood for examination in order to rule out infection. If this is not done, the blood is disposed of.

You should be called from the blood transfusion station and invited again. But in reality, donors are often forgotten. It is better to come yourself a few months after the first surrender.

Where to donate blood

In some donor centers they accept only by appointment, I advise you to call and clarify. Single reference phone of the donor service: 8 800 333-33-30.

I advise donating blood at a transfusion station, not in a hospital. Everything is well organized at the station: the offices are nearby, the process is automated, the equipment is modern. Hospitals can be worse.


How to donate blood

Aspirin and analgesics should not be taken three days before the test, and alcohol should not be consumed two days before the test. The day before, it is advised not to eat fatty, spicy and smoked foods, dairy products. Be sure to sleep well and have a light breakfast with sweet tea and something low-fat. Do not smoke before the procedure.

The earlier in the day you donate blood, the easier the body will tolerate the donation. The best time to donate blood is before 11 am. Only experienced donors come to lunch.

What to bring

For the first blood donation at the transfusion station, you need to take a passport and the results of fluorography. Men also need to bring a military ID or registration certificate. From the second donation, only a passport is required.

Present the documents at the transfusion station. Fill out a wellness questionnaire and an application for monetary reimbursement of meals.

For the first time, blood will be taken from a finger to determine the blood type and hemoglobin level. You will be received by a therapist: he will examine you, weigh you, measure your blood pressure and ask about your well-being. Then you will be invited to the procedure room.



In the treatment room donate blood or plasma. It usually takes an hour. If you are asked how you will hand over - manually or automatically - choose manually, it's faster.

Donating blood is not painful. Most likely, you will not feel anything but a slight prick. A lot depends on individual characteristics, sometimes the donor may feel dizzy or nauseous and even lose consciousness. You should not be afraid of this: experienced staff is always ready. In the nine years of donation, I only felt sick once, and that was because I didn't eat breakfast. A couple of times I saw how the girls became ill, but they easily bounced back after airing. If you feel strange, tell the staff right away.

After that, you will be issued a certificate for the employer and will be allowed to go home. In the next couple of days you need to eat well and properly, drink plenty of fluids. It's better to give up physical activity.

Safety

The puncture site of the vein is liberally treated with a disinfectant solution. All instruments are disposable and sterile, they are unpacked right in front of you. With modern donation, it is impossible to get infected.

What do donors need

Additional holidays. After blood donation, the donor is entitled to 1-2 additional days off: a day off with the preservation of the average salary on the day of blood donation, as well as an additional day of rest. These days can be used immediately, or you can transfer them to any other day during the year or add them to your vacation. If you go to work on the day of donation, you have two days off. Important condition- going to work must be agreed with the employer, otherwise the second day of rest will not be given. This is also true if you donated blood before the start of the working day or after it ends. If you donate blood or components several times a year, you can get 6 to 20 extra days off and extend your vacation.

Holidays cannot be reimbursed in cash.

To receive rest days, submit certificates from the donor institution to the accounting department: 401 / y (on medical examination) and 402 / y (on subsidies) or a certificate certified accordingly in any form. Two days of rest will be paid, even if you donated blood on the weekend.

We write about how to make money on donation, elections and old things, how to be treated at the expense of the state, issue a tax deduction and agree with the boss on a salary increase.

Lunch reimbursement. The donor is paid 400-700 R in compensation. Instead, by law, they can provide a free lunch, but I have not seen this.

Discounted vouchers. If you donate blood at least twice, then you can ask for extraordinary preferential vouchers for spa treatment. Vouchers are received at the place of work or study.

1💉 = 2 days off + 400 R

Donation for a fee

A donor can donate blood for money in public or private clinics. But paid donors are not needed everywhere. Rare blood types are usually required. If you want to donate blood for money, call 8 800 333-33-30 and ask where it is accepted. Better yet, to a specific station or donor site.

How to become an honorary donor

To become an honorary donor of Russia, you need to donate blood free of charge 40 times or donate blood with components 60 times. Then the donor fills out an application at the transfusion station, and after a few months receives the main documents: a certificate and an honorary donor badge.

Honorary donors of Russia receive an annual cash payment ( in 2017 - 13 000 R). They are served without a queue in public institutions, give a 50% discount on prescription drugs. An honorary donor goes on vacation when he wants to, and not when his employer releases him. In practice, benefits may vary depending on your region.

Donation for a fee is not taken into account in the standards for honorary donation.

Honorary Donor of Moscow

In the capital there is the title of honorary donor of Moscow. The standards here are 20 times to donate blood or 30 times components. Donations must be made at donor centers subordinate to the Moscow City Health Department. They are located at city clinical hospitals Moscow, as well as research institutes and blood transfusion stations.

An honorary donor of Moscow with a Muscovite social card travels free of charge on public transport, receives a 50% discount on utility bills and a 50% discount on payments medicines in city pharmacies.

After receiving the title, you must donate blood at least 3 times or plasma at least 7 times within a year. After receiving an honorary donor of Russia, all the benefits of an honorary donor of Moscow remain.

How to negotiate with an employer

I heard that some employers do not like regular donors: they cost more than ordinary employees.

I didn't have these problems. When I worked at school, I donated blood before school and did not bother anyone. He went to work after the blood donation. At the end of the year, he went on vacation a little earlier due to unused time off.

By law, you may not tell your employer that you want to donate blood. They handed it over, left for the weekend, then brought certificates to the accounting department.

But I always warn: it's more honest and easier. The manager may be dissatisfied: the employee unexpectedly took and arranged a mini-vacation for himself. In order to negotiate with the employer, a few days before the donation, I draw up a free-form application, where I indicate what I plan to do with the days off: whether I will go to work on the day of donation or take a day off.

In my experience and the experience of acquaintances of donors, it is better to negotiate with the manager in advance. Tell them that you are a donor and you are entitled to benefits. Check with your manager and colleagues when your absence will not be so noticeable. Make compromises.

Remember

  1. You can donate blood if you are healthy and weigh more than 50 kg.
  2. For the first change, you will need a passport and fluorography, for men - a military ID.
  3. After the first blood donation, you need to donate blood again within 6 months.
  4. The donor is compensated for food and given 1-2 paid days off.
  5. You can donate blood for money. In 2016, in Moscow they paid 3000 R for 450 ml of blood.
  6. For 60 donations they give the title of "Honorary Donor of Russia", for 30 donations - "Honorary Donor of Moscow". Honorary donors have benefits.
  7. An employer cannot forbid you to become a donor or give you days off, the law is on your side.

What does it take to become a blood donor? What are the benefits for blood donors in 2019 and how much are donors paid? Honorary donor - how many times you need to donate blood to become ? How often can I donate blood to donors (women and men)? What are the requirements for submission? We will figure out how to become a donor in the Russian Federation and what benefits we will receive.

For those who are thinking about how to become a blood donor, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the Law "On donation" dated July 20, 2012 No. 125-FZ. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for donation on a gratuitous and paid basis. According to articles No. 22 and 23 of the Law "On Donation", people who donate blood for free have benefits. At the same time, the number of benefits provided by the state directly depends on your status - just a donor or an “honorary” donor.

What do you need to become a blood donor for free?

From a moral point of view, gratuitous donation, based on the desire to help people, is a very positive phenomenon and an example for the younger generation. Naturally, the state encourages such an impulse of its citizens. Firstly, according to part 1 of Article 22 of the Law “On Donation”, when donating blood, you are required to provide food free of charge at the expense of the organization that carries out the collection.

It should be noted that in some cases it is possible to replace free meals for money. Such cases include blood donation in mobile harvesting complexes and in blood collection stations at military institutions.

It is important to note that the Order of the Ministry of Health of April 26, 2013 N 265n “On monetary compensation for blood donation” provides for the possibility of replacing free meals with monetary compensation for blood donation based on a written application. The amount of compensation is 5% of the subsistence level of the able-bodied population on the date of blood donation. Let's see how much it will be in money.

Example

Today for Moscow minimum size the subsistence minimum for the working population is 13,896 rubles. In this regard, for the delivery of one portion you are required to pay compensation - 694 rubles. At the same time, even if this compensation is paid, blood donation is free of charge.

If you decide to be a blood donor on a gratuitous basis and donate it in the amount of 2 maximum allowable doses for yourself in a year, then you are entitled to priority purchase of preferential vouchers and treatment at the place of work or study. The maximum allowable intake dose for you will be determined by the doctor during the examination.

How much do blood donors get paid in 2019?

We have already said that even gratuitous delivery provides for the opportunity to receive a small monetary compensation. However, the Law “On Donation” establishes the possibility of donating on a paid basis if you have a rare type of blood. How much does it cost to donate blood as a donor? For paid delivery, payment is set at 8% of the subsistence minimum for the able-bodied population on the date of collection. Based on the calculations indicated above, the reward for paid rent in Moscow will be 1,111 rubles. Citizens who donate blood for money are deprived of all benefits provided for ordinary and honorary donors.

If you are thinking about how to become a donor, then it is best to help people for a small fee. The difference between paid and free donations is just over 400 rubles, and in the future, respect for others, preferential vouchers at work and the opportunity to become an honorary donor, for the title of which the state itself will pay you significant compensation as an encouragement of a positive example for society!

How to become an honorary blood donor, how many times do you need to donate blood?

According to Part 1 of Article 23 of the Law "On Donation", an honorary donor is a citizen who has donated blood more than 40 times, and plasma - more than 60 times.

Benefits for blood donors in 2019

An honorary donor receives significantly more benefits, you will be granted annual paid leave at a selected time, extraordinary provision medical care in state healthcare institutions, preferential vouchers for resort and sanitary treatment, as well as a one-time monetary reward once a year. The amount of the payment is indexed every year. In accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 9 of the Law "On the Budget" dated 02.12.2013 N 349-FZ for 2014, a remuneration for honorary donors in the amount of 11 thousand 728 rubles was established.

In addition, according to article 186 Labor Code any citizen, on the day of delivery, regardless of status, is released from work. If donating blood does not interfere with your work, then, in agreement with the employer, it is possible to transfer the official day off provided by the state to any other day.

How often can I donate blood to female and male donors?

How many times can you donate blood to a donor? Exist different types donation – whole blood donation and component donation. Men can donate whole blood no more than 5 times a year, women - no more than 4 times a year. After the donation, at least 2 months must pass before the donor can donate blood again.

After donating plasma, at least 2 weeks must pass before the donor can donate plasma or blood again.

For the first blood donation at the transfusion station, you need to take a passport and the results of fluorography. Men also need to bring a military ID or registration certificate. From the second donation, only a passport is required.

Present the documents at the transfusion station. Fill out a wellness questionnaire and an application for monetary reimbursement of meals.

For the first time, blood will be taken from a finger to determine the blood type and hemoglobin level. You will be received by a therapist: he will examine you, weigh you, measure your blood pressure and ask about your well-being. Then you will be invited to the procedure room.

Registration at the blood transfusion station
Donors give blood reclining in special chairs

In the treatment room donate blood or plasma. It usually takes an hour. If you are asked how you will hand over - manually or automatically - choose manually, it's faster.

Donating blood is not painful. Most likely, you will not feel anything but a slight prick. Much depends on the individual, sometimes the donor may feel dizzy or nauseous and even lose consciousness. You should not be afraid of this: experienced staff is always ready. In the nine years of donation, I only felt sick once, and that was because I didn't eat breakfast. A couple of times I saw how the girls became ill, but they easily bounced back after airing. If you feel strange, tell the staff right away.

After that, you will be issued a certificate for the employer and will be allowed to go home. In the next couple of days you need to eat well and properly, drink plenty of fluids. It is better to give up physical activity.

Safety

The puncture site of the vein is liberally treated with a disinfectant solution. All instruments are disposable and sterile, they are unpacked right in front of you. With modern donation, it is impossible to get infected.

What do donors need

Additional holidays. After blood donation, the donor is entitled to 1-2 additional days off: a day off with the preservation of the average salary on the day of blood donation, as well as an additional day of rest. These days can be used immediately, or you can transfer them to any other day during the year or add them to your vacation. If you go to work on the day of donation, you have two days off. An important condition is that going to work must be agreed with the employer, otherwise they will not be given a second day of rest. This is also true if you donated blood before the start of the working day or after it ends. If you donate blood or components several times a year, you can get 6 to 20 extra days off and extend your vacation.

Holidays cannot be reimbursed in cash.

To receive rest days, submit certificates from the donor institution to the accounting department: 401 / y (on medical examination) and 402 / y (on subsidies) or a certificate certified accordingly in any form. Two days of rest will be paid, even if you donated blood on the weekend.

Lunch reimbursement. The donor is paid 400-700 R in compensation. Instead, by law, they can provide a free lunch, but I have not seen this.

Discounted vouchers. If you donate blood at least twice, then you can ask for extraordinary preferential vouchers for spa treatment. Vouchers are received at the place of work or study.

1💉 = 2 days off + 400 R

Donation for a fee

A donor can donate blood for money in public or private clinics. But paid donors are not needed everywhere. Rare blood types are usually required. If you want to donate blood for money, call 8 800 333–33–30 and ask where it is accepted. Better yet, to a specific station or donor site.

How to become an honorary donor

To become an honorary donor of Russia, you need to donate blood free of charge 40 times or donate blood with components 60 times. Then the donor fills out an application at the transfusion station, and after a few months receives the main documents: a certificate and an honorary donor badge.

My ID and Honorary Donor Badge

Honorary donors of Russia receive an annual cash payment (in 2017 - 13,000 R). They are served without a queue in state institutions, they are given a 50% discount on prescription drugs. An honorary donor goes on vacation when he wants to, and not when his employer releases him. In practice, benefits may vary depending on your region.

Donation for a fee is not taken into account in the standards for honorary donation.

Honorary Donor of Moscow

In the capital there is the title of honorary donor of Moscow. The standards here are 20 times to donate blood or 30 times components. Donations must be made at donor centers subordinate to the Moscow City Health Department. They are located at city clinical hospitals in Moscow, as well as research institutes and blood transfusion stations.

An honorary donor of Moscow with a Muscovite's social card travels free on public transport, receives a 50% discount on utility bills and a 50% discount on medicines in city pharmacies.

After receiving the title, you must donate blood at least 3 times or plasma at least 7 times within a year. After receiving an honorary donor of Russia, all the benefits of an honorary donor of Moscow remain.

How to negotiate with an employer

I heard that some employers do not like regular donors: they cost more than ordinary employees.

I didn't have these problems. When I worked at school, I donated blood before school and did not bother anyone. He went to work after the blood donation. At the end of the year, he went on vacation a little earlier due to unused time off.

By law, you may not tell your employer that you want to donate blood. They handed it over, left for the weekend, then brought certificates to the accounting department.

But I always warn: it's more honest and easier. The manager may be dissatisfied: the employee unexpectedly took and arranged a mini-vacation for himself. In order to negotiate with the employer, a few days before the donation, I draw up a free-form application, where I indicate what I plan to do with the days off: whether I will go to work on the day of donation or take a day off.

In my experience and the experience of acquaintances of donors, it is better to negotiate with the manager in advance. Tell them that you are a donor and you are entitled to benefits. Check with your manager and colleagues when your absence will not be so noticeable. Make compromises.

What to do to increase wages

Remember

  1. You can donate blood if you are healthy and weigh more than 50 kg.
  2. For the first change, you will need a passport and fluorography, for men - a military ID.
  3. After the first blood donation, you need to donate blood again within 6 months.

How much indexing takes place, this issue is regulated by federal law about the federal budget for a particular year.

The most important thing is that This payment amount is not subject to taxation.. But in order for the donor to receive this amount annually, he needs to submit a certain package of documents to the proper authority. This package includes the following documents:
