had functioned under the', prewar regime and was abolished in 1945.. The.
Government, however, ha& continued paying pensions to most employees who had
retired under the old regime, with the exception of thoseAdclared'war
criminals
From 1945 to 1950 the new Government did not recognize the pension rights
of persons who acquired some of these rights under the old regime and who were
subsequently. employed by the new regime, These people jrotested that they
.could not' live on. their new salaries and demanded restitution of their pensions
for services rendered before the war. In.1950 the Goverment decided to pay
a certain percentage of the pensions earned by employees under the old regime.
At the same time pensions were-paid also to many former Government employees
whose pension had been completely out off-in 1945 because of war criminal or
other charges against them. The basic pension scale was as at 40% of.the
salary-for the first 10 years of service.,-plus a two percen increment for every
year after 10 years, with a maximum of 90% of the last salary for the oldest
employees. In January, 1952 deductions for pension were increased from three
percent to five percent of the salary.
In order to qualify for pension a person had to have reached the age of
65 or be totally disabledi forjx r)C,as certified by an official physician.
Disabled-persons pensioned before they reached 65 years of age were
entitla& to 'a maximum pension of 33% of their last Balary. No
person under 45 years of age could receive any pension.

SECRE
Under the revised pension laws employees who had worked under the
old regime were given an allowance for years of. work. In order
to qualify for this allowance every older applicant for a job in
the new government had to state in his job application blank
where he had worked before 1945 and for how long. If and when the
years of work.in .the old, regime were recognized and approved,
the employee was entitled to a two per cent supplement to his
salary for every five years of old service. For instance,, a person
who had worked 20 years under the old regime was granted eight per
cent of his salary additional pay. The supplement, however, could
riot exceed 10% of the new basic salary.
In computing the'service periods, a fraction of five.years counted
as full five years. Thus if,a person had worked eight years he was
allowed two five year periods in computing his supplement.
