Wage Regulation in Czechoslovakia

Chapter 10 in Wage Control and Inflation in the Soviet Bloc Countries, 1979, pp 164-174 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Up to 1958 Czechoslovakia applied the classical Soviet SWR apart from a departure from the Soviet practice in one respect. In 1956 it introduced a change in the relationship between the over-fulfilment of output targets and the growth of the wage-bill. Until then, the wage-bill of enterprises could increase proportionally to the rate of over-fulfilment of the gross value of output target. This arrangement was—as already noted—prone to inflation. When in 1956 the planned global wage fund was overdrawn, the government decided to impose a more rigorous control; one of the most important measures was to introduce adjustment coefficients lower than unity for the over-fulfilment of plans.1
