Starting in September, Czech Post will increase the wages of operational and administrative workers by an average of ten percent. They will spend 320 million CZK on it. Currently, postmen earn an average of 31,012 crowns, which is 12,000 crowns less than the average salary in the Czech Republic last year. This follows from the current information of the Czech Post.
In March, employees received an extraordinary reward for the successful implementation of crisis measures last year in the average amount of CZK 4,500, which meant a total cost of CZK 120 million. The post office employs around 20,000 people. The last time the post office increased wages by an average of five percent was last year.

According to CEO Miroslav Štěpán, the payment of the extraordinary remuneration and salary increase is the result of negotiations between the management of the Czech Post and representatives of all trade unions operating at the Czech Post.
“Ensuring the daily functioning of Czech Post, including the challenging pre-Christmas period during the ongoing transformation, places enormous demands on all employees of our company. With the salary for February in the March payment term, the employees of the post office therefore received an extraordinary reward,” explained Štěpán.
According to him, the transformation of the company is moving in the right direction. “This is also why, after a long time, we have decided to proceed with an increase in tariff wages, and we are already counting on this cost in this year’s balanced management plan,” he added.
According to him, the priority is to constantly improve the quality of delivery, which is why letter carriers will receive the most additions. A successful transformation is a condition for the sustainability of the salary evaluation of post office employees so that work at the post office is still attractive for them in changing market conditions.
Last year, the Czech Post reduced its loss by roughly one billion crowns to approximately CZK 700 million. Operational changes and savings, including the closure of 300 branches, contributed to this. This year’s economy should end with a “positive zero”. Currently, the company is preparing for a transformation, which will consist of separating the branch network from commercial parcel and logistics services under the name Balíkovna from next year.
