Document 35 - Amendment to the Act on the Salaries of Representatives of State Power - RJ

Processed date: 20.11.2025 |Session 10

Submitters: Andrej Babiš, Tomio Okamura, Petr Macinka

Summary

The law introduces a five-year freeze on the salary base of state officials at the level of 2025, i.e. CZK 101,364, until the end of 2030.

The aim is to prevent automatic salary growth resulting from the current wage-linked mechanism in the national economy. The freeze applies only to officials, not to judges, for whom such an intervention could be unconstitutional.

The measure is intended to bring savings to the state budget and has no social, business or environmental impacts. The law is due to come into force on January 1, 2026 to prevent salary increases from the beginning of the year.

Proposal 852

35 - 852 - Vendula Svobodová

The amendment reduces Members’ flat-rate transport allowances, which are based on the salary base. The reimbursement percentages are changed from the previous 40, 45, 50 and 60 % to 25, 28, 32 and 35 %, depending on the distance of the Member’s residence from the seat of Parliament. The aim is to limit the automatic increase in these allowances linked to the salary base and to bring them closer to real transport costs. The measure is intended to bring savings to public finances while maintaining sufficient compensation for commuting.
