THE LAW
of 16 June 1965
concerning certain changes in sickness insurance
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic decided on this law:
Period of employment according to which the rates of sickness and cash assistance in maternity are determined
(1) From 1 January 1966, the rates of sickness and cash aid in maternity care, which have been determined according to the current rules on sickness insurance according to the period of uninterrupted employment in the same undertaking, are determined according to the period of employment. Until then, periods of employment acquired by the worker from 1 January 1966 shall be counted; periods completed before that date shall be counted when, or should have been, they have been counted as periods of uninterrupted employment in the same undertaking under the current rules on occupational sickness insurance. This also applies to the calculation of periods which are equal to periods of employment under sickness insurance regulations.
(2) Workers may be counted in full or in part for other periods of employment obtained before 1 January 1966 if they achieve exceptional work results for at least two years; if then the worker changes employment, this allowance shall continue to apply.
(3) A mother and a woman who has taken custody of a child shall also be included in the period of employment for whom she has taken care of a child under three years.
(4) In the case of workers working in agriculture or forestry, the period of employment shall also be considered as the period during which such worker was a member of the single agricultural cooperative.
(5) If the deductible periods of employment and equal periods of employment cover each other, they shall only be counted once.
Method for determining maternity and maternity benefits
(1) Sickness and maternity allowance are determined on the average net wage of the worker per working day, but not more than 100 CZK (net daily wage). It is based on the earnings earned by a worker in a job which is based on or in connection with his sickness insurance for a specified period prior to the entitlement to the benefit, after deduction of the wage tax.
(2) Maternity sickness and monetary assistance are payable on working days. Working days shall be equal to the holidays for which compensation is granted.
Support for family care
(1) Aid for the treatment of a member of the family belongs, under the conditions laid down below, to a worker (male or female) who cannot work because he must:
1. treat a sick child under 10 years of age; or
2. care for a child under 10 years of age because
(a) a children's educational establishment under the care of which the child otherwise is, or the school to which he is attending, has been, closed by order of the competent authorities; or
(b) the child cannot be in the care of a child education establishment or attend school for an ordered quarantine; or
(c) a person who otherwise takes care of the child has become ill or has been ordered to be quarantined (quarantine measures) and therefore cannot take care of the child; or
3. Treat another sick member of the family if his or her condition requires urgent treatment by another person.
(2) The condition for providing support for the care of a family member is that a child or a sick family member lives with a household worker and that there is no one else in the household who can care for the child or treat the sick; If a sick child or another sick family member is treated, it is another condition that the sick person cannot be placed or is not fit to be placed in a hospital.
(3) Aid for the treatment of a member of the family shall be granted for a maximum period of three working days if the need for treatment persists; the provision may be extended by up to three additional working days if the necessary care cannot be provided within the first three working days.
(4) A worker who has permanent care of at least one child of age until the end of compulsory education and who is otherwise lonely may be further extended to grant aid granted under paragraphs 1 to 3, but may not exceed 12 working days in the same case of care.
(5) The rules on sickness insurance apply mutatis mutandis to the fixing of aid and its rates.
(6) In the same case, the aid belongs to only one beneficiary.
Compensation for pregnancy and maternity
(1) A worker who has been engaged in a job which is prohibited from pregnant women or who, according to a medical opinion, threatens to become pregnant and is therefore temporarily transferred to another work in which she has achieved a lower wage than that of the previous work, is entitled to a compensatory allowance from sickness insurance.
(2) The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to mothers until the end of the ninth month following birth.
(3) The compensatory allowance in pregnancy and maternity ("the compensatory allowance") is granted at the rate of the difference between the average earnings earned by the worker after deduction of the wage tax before transfer to another work and the earnings earned after deduction of the wage tax in each calendar month following such transfer. The reduction in the earnings incurred by the worker by shortening the working time shall not be taken into account; no account shall be taken of the amounts of earnings which, after deduction of the payroll tax, exceed, on average, 100 CZK per working day.
(4) The compensation allowance shall be granted for the period for which the worker was entitled to pay or compensation after transfer. During pregnancy, maternity leave shall be granted no later than the beginning of the maternity leave and after the termination of maternity leave no longer than the end of the ninth month following delivery.
(5) The compensation allowance is another cash benefit for sickness insurance. It is subject to the common provisions governing claims for sickness benefits *); The same applies to the statute of limitations as to the statute of limitations.
(1) The Central Board of Trade Unions shall determine the period for which the income for the determination of sickness benefits is to be collected, the support for the treatment of a member of the family and the financial assistance in maternity and shall lay down the details of the calculation of those benefits.
(2) The Central Board of Trade Unions shall lay down more detailed provisions on the compensatory allowance, in particular on how the revenue is to be collected and calculated, according to which the compensatory allowance is to be fixed.
(1) Where the rules on sickness insurance refer to uninterrupted employment in the same undertaking, * *) means the period of employment laid down in accordance with § 1.
(2) The provisions of Sections 17 and 25 of Act No. 54 / 1956 Coll., on the sickness insurance of employees and of Sections 4 (1) and (2) of Act No. 58 / 1964 Coll., on increasing the care of pregnant women and mothers are repealed.
This Act shall take effect on 1 January 1966.
