Komparace průměrných platů a benefitů státních zaměstnanců ústředního orgánu Ministerstva vnitra ČR a příslušníků Policie ČR a Hasičského záchranného sboru ČR

The results of this study show that the differences in average salaries between members of law enforcement agencies and civil servants are not particularly significant. The study highlights the fact that most specific forms of financial compensation for members of law enforcement agencies are already included in the average salary through various components of service pay and allowances. As part of the study’s own model calculation of the so-called “achievable average monthly income,” it was found that for members of the Police of the Czech Republic, this amounted to CZK 44,084 in 2024, for members of the Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic it was CZK 43,671, and for civil servants at the Ministry of the Interior’s Central Office it was CZK 41,053. The value of the Cultural and Social Needs Fund (FKSP) accounted for approximately 1.2% of achievable income for all monitored groups. The study further highlights the differing presentation of benefits by individual security forces, the unequal conditions for drawing funds from the Cultural and Social Needs Fund within both security forces and simultaneously raises the question of whether the current system for providing this benefit represents the most appropriate form of support for employees and members.
