English Translation

The women's workforce could only be ordered for such works as are normally carried out by women. The job assignment was organized by the Labour Office and carried out with an ordering notice, which included among others. the name of the designated plant or construction site, the day and place of entry, the expected period of the commandment and the working conditions. The ordered office of work had to submit all necessary documents upon request, as well as provide the necessary explanations. The office of employment could have ordered him to appear in person (§6). According to Section 11, the ratio based on the commandments on a new post remained "private" as well as in previous legislation. Wage and working conditions followed validly adjusted wages or wages usual in place, relevant for the new post and applicable to employees in factories of the same or similar kind. Ust. § 14 then again, as already vl.nař.no.10/1942 Sb., stated that the work of capable residents of the Protectorate can also be ordered to work in other territories of the Reich.© Vl.nář. no. 154/1942 The Coll. was slightly amended by the Government Decree No. 316/1942 Coll. of December 31, which changed the conditions for drawing the holiday of the commanded persons. Ordering people to work outside the territory of the Protectorate has led to increasing efforts to avoid these obligations, which, according to the Nazis, should eliminate increased repression. In this context, the Government Decree No. 13/1942 Coll. was issued on ensuring the stability of wages and salaries and work morals of 10 December 1941. ((339) This stipulated, among other things, that employees are obliged to get in. The employee was not allowed to neglect the work, to refuse the work or to slow down the work (performance) maliciously. He could not commit undisciplined conduct in order to obtain early termination of his employment. These regulations were directed against both direct and indirect sabotage acts in the races. The county authorities imposed penalties for acts against the government regulation, namely fines up to 100,000 K or prison within one year. Of course, there were also criminal penalties for sabotage, and the regulation did not involve nearly all the possible repressive measures that threatened, especially the brutal practices of the Gestapo with torture and transfer to the concentration camp, etc.
