11S - 4 - From the above examples, it should be pointed out that the compensation allowance system is subject to severe shortcomings which may affect its validity as the basis of a general pay system. in the event of the creation of the compensatory allowance, specific considerations are derived from an unbiased assessment of the training, training, task and performance of the various categories of civil servants. The necessary distance between the Reich's salary and the protectorate's grade must not be achieved by arbitrarily reducing the level of comparison; it can easily be achieved, even with objective comparison methods, by corresponding percentage reductions. If, taking into account this principle of the Obersektionsrat, a superior government councillor, the Oberkontrollor, etc., is confronted, it soon becomes apparent that the protectorate salary is consistently well below the Reich's salary. The opposite would also be surprising. As you know, civil servants' salaries in former Czechoslovakia were among the lowest in Europe and were tolerable only in view of the relatively high domestic purchasing power. An objective comparison of the protectorate salaries - now only increased by some inflation allowances - with the Reich salaries must therefore lead to the result that the protectorates salaries are much lower. 2.) As the few examples show, a substantial and consistent increase in the level of protection would not be achievable by the way proposed by the Head of Division I. In the case of the most vulnerable groups whose salaries no longer guarantee the minimum level of subsistence (Kanzleihilfsdienst), there could be no real substantial improvement. In the case of other groups, improvement would only be possible in the first or only in the later grades. The undeniable increase in the cost of life needs, however, affects the official and his family regardless of the years of service he has completed. 3.)
