PRINCIPLES
for the provision of certain services and repairs to citizens on the basis of the authorisation of the National Committee approved by the Government Resolution of 3 March 1965
The task of extending and ensuring the provision of services and repairs according to the needs of the population, imposed by the resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia of 22 January 1964, requires that small-scale services and repairs be carried out by local citizens, in particular those who cannot perform such work in employment for their family or for their health or advanced age, but are still able and willing to do such work to a limited extent. The work of these citizens must be supported as it contributes to the legitimate requirements of the local population and is therefore of general interest in its operation.
The Government therefore laid down the following principles for the provision of certain services and repairs to citizens on the basis of the authorisation of the National Committee:
In places designated by the District National Committee, where the provision of services according to the needs of the population cannot be effectively and economically provided by socialist organisations, individual citizens may provide services on the basis of the permission of the Local National Committee provided for them at their request.
It will be mainly rural communities in which the provision of services is not and cannot be ensured by a socialist organisation and whose inhabitants must therefore also obtain small work and repairs in remote locations, even if there are citizens in the municipality who are able to meet their wishes and do so if they are entitled to do so. In determining these places, account must also be taken of whether a service in the municipality cannot be provided to citizens by a single agricultural cooperative. In cities, permits may be granted mainly for the repair of home property.
Authorisations may be granted for the provision of small craft work and repair, repair of household property, for the provision of personal services and for minor additional production from local sources of raw materials for local use (hereinafter referred to as "services').
Small craft works and repairs include, in particular, tailoring, footwear, locksmiths, carpentry, carpentry, masonry and roofing, painting of flats, etc. Personal services include barbers and hairdressers, washing, ironing, handling and repair of laundry, cleaning and babysitting.
Authorisations may be granted only to housewives, pensioners, disabled persons and workers who wish to provide services in addition to their main employment, but only to citizens over 18 years of age who demonstrate the qualifications required for the relevant activity and reside in the district of the local national committee. Workers who wish to provide services in addition to their main job are obliged to notify the organisation which employs them.
The provision of services on the basis of such authorisation will contribute to the expansion of the services, while allowing citizens who are unable to be employed, to work according to their strengths and abilities. However, it will also be possible for workers wishing to provide such services at their place of residence, after they have completed the tasks arising from their employment or from the relationship of a member of the single agricultural cooperative or production cooperative. The notification obligation allows the organisation in which the worker has the main job to know about this activity. The prior consent of the organisation that employs the worker shall be required only if specific rules so provide.
At the same time, as good provision of these services must also be remembered, it must be provided only by citizens with the necessary qualifications. According to the type of activity, the qualifications will need to be demonstrated by the teaching or the journalism certificate, the certificate and, where appropriate, the practice.
Services on the basis of permits are provided by a citizen on his own behalf and subject to the provisions of the Civil Service Code.
The proper, quality and prompt provision of services is the responsibility of the customer of the citizen to whom the authorisation has been granted. The customer therefore enters into a contractual relationship with the citizen who provides the service in these cases. In the case of incorrect provision of services, the citizen corresponds to the customer according to the provisions of the Civil Code on the provision of services to socialist organisations (Act No. 40 / 1964 Coll.).
Citizens to whom authorisation has been granted shall:
1. provide services in person and, where appropriate, only with the assistance of family members;
2. to provide services in accordance with general rules, in particular health and safety, applicable to services provided by socialist organisations;
3. to provide services at the designated place as well as to fulfil other obligations and conditions specified in the authorisation;
4. on the income generated in the provision of these services to pay the income tax of the population.
They may require, for the provision of services, maximum prices for price lists and, where appropriate, price regulations applicable to socialist organisations. At the customer's request, they are required to issue a receipt from the card block.
The obligations laid down in these principles result from the need to ensure the quality of service provision while avoiding that their provision is not misused for unjustified enrichment. Therefore, the personal performance of the work is particularly highlighted; use for assistance of persons other than family members is inadmissible. As a rule, citizens do their own work. The necessary material is provided by retail purchases. In order to avoid overcharging these services, citizens may require for them the maximum prices paid for their provision by socialist organisations. In the authorisation issued, the local national committee shall indicate the place where the citizen can provide services. If there are several municipalities, agreements are needed with the relevant local or regional national committees. The tax will be paid by citizens on a flat-rate basis, set by the National Committee under Section 9 of Act No. 145 / 1961 Coll., on Population Income Tax. In determining this flat-rate, the national committee shall take into account the extent to which the services will be provided and the expected revenue.
The authorisation shall be issued in writing and may be granted for a limited period or an indefinite period. An authorisation may be withdrawn if the original conditions for granting an authorisation are changed or if the citizen fails to fulfil the obligations arising from these principles and the authorisation granted. If an authorisation has been issued to a worker who provides services in addition to his main employment, the local national committee must withdraw the authorisation if the organisation in which the worker is employed indicates that he does not agree with his other activity under the authorisation granted because that activity prevents him from doing his job properly in his main employment. The local national committee shall set a reasonable time limit for the termination of the authorisation.
According to local conditions, authorisations may also be tied for a limited period. The local national committee which granted the authorisation shall be entitled to withdraw the authorisation if the conditions for granting it are no longer in place, in particular if the service on site is already adequately provided by the socialist organisation. The permit may also be withdrawn if the citizen does not provide the services properly and in accordance with the conditions laid down. This shall in particular be the case where it fails to fulfil the obligations referred to in Article 5. In order not to prevent the provision of services to workers in addition to their main employment from being properly employed in such employment, the worker's authorisation must be withdrawn once the organisation in which he is employed has informed him that the activity carried out on the basis of the authorisation prevents him from exercising his main employment properly. When withdrawing a permit, it is necessary to allow a citizen to complete his work. Therefore, the local national committee shall set a reasonable time limit for the termination of the authorisation.
The pension scheme provides for the provision of pension insurance for citizens who are not already insured for other activities or who do not receive an old-age or invalidity pension and are obliged to pay a public income tax on a flat-rate amount corresponding to at least the income of 400 CZK per month. The scope of pension insurance is laid down in a separate regulation. *)
If he provides services on the basis of a pensioner's permission, his pension will therefore not be deducted or reduced.
