26 Copy to Rk.l3l56 C Der Reichsminister Berlin W 8, den 15.December 1943 der Finanzen Wilhelmplatz 1/2 A 4022 BM - 10327 IV 191 New regulation of the salary of the employees of the autonomous protectorate administration The pay tables of the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia have been examined by my agents in the period from 4th to 10th December l943 in Prague. The result of this examination was the following: The improvement leads in the majority of cases to the full amount of the Reich's salary, with not a few official (teacher) groups also beyond. A referendum should be omitted. To decide on this is matter of political considerations. For my part, I have no objections to the full exhaustion of the Reichsbearbeitungssatz, which are practically in the final content of the application of the right to compensation, even if I presume that this procedure will not facilitate the subsequent introduction of the other parts of the Empire's remuneration law in the absence of any scope. There has been agreement on a greater number of cuts to the aim of avoiding the crossing of the Reichsbearbeitungssatz. Smaller exceedances e.g. In the case of the Amtmanngruppe (Amtmann Group) of 30 RM per month, similar to other grades, my staff have accepted that the officials in this promotion office are united by officers and Councillors under Czech law. A pure divorce would have been a wink to me and if I cooperate more closely in earlier sections of the procedure, I would like to know if I had been able to do so. It remains unpleasant that, according to the current plan, the non-national officials in the Protectorate have 30 RM more basic content than the German officers in the Reich. However, I do not want to stop the overall execution of the improvement plan by a contradiction from this and similar occasions. A noticeable reduction of the planned rates was required in almost all teacher grades. This has the following reason: The teachers in the Reich receive the same grade as their male professional comrades with a 10% discount from the Herr Grundhalt Reichsminister and head of the Reich Chancellery Berlin
