"Business Ethics"
•
by Shadow Figure
Before the war there was a debate about Romania's "Labour Code". In the Insider there is a link to this article from USA. It deserves to be read [a url=http://www.erepublik.com/article-281562.html]entirely[/a], though it is in most parts similar to our Labor Code (that is still under debate). Here are some parts that i found interesting:
"Clause 2: It is considered unethical to approach an employee of another company, as witnessed and testified to by the employee in question, about gainful working opportunites if they are not actively seeking such.
Clause 3: In accordance with free market provisions, no company nor the United States Government can regulate what a company can charge for any product. It is truly survival of the fittest in an open price market, and is up to the company owner to price his goods according to what he or she feels is "Fair Market Value" of those goods.
Clause 4: Fair Market Value shall be recognized by the United States Business Councils as no more than 18% profit whether during maritime or conflict. It is considered unethical to raise prices above this margin, or you will automatically disqualify yourself from any government incentives that may occur during, before, or after such times.
Penalties
By violating Clause 2, as testified to by the employee in question, you agree to pay the GM of the other business 10 Gold by donation."
There is a clause about the ethics of finding employees. I found something similar in a discusion from ecetateni.com forum. I think a clause like this should be added to Romania's Labor Code.
There are 2 clauses regarding " Fair Market Values". The ones who read the ecetateni.com forum probably remember the debate about the huge prices during our last war. I think their aproach on these problems worth some attention.
Don't forget to vote if you found this useful.

I can\'t agree with the Clause 2... It\'s a free market and if you really want to be sure that your employees will not be \"stolen\" you may make them an individual contract, with a clause like that...
A contract like .....? they can\'t go to another company?. they are not alowed to read the messages from another company? like you said, it\'s a free market, a free world actually. Employees can work anywhere they want.
But i think it\'s reasonably to consider unethical company owners who approach employees that are not looking a new and better job.
In RL there are some clauses mentioned in some work contracts signed by the employer and the employee which are clearly saying that its forbidden for the employee to move to the competition. If they want to do that, they have to pay a fee
i\'m not sure this would work in erepublik. it would scare the employees.
@ Anduu this kind of contracts is considered ilegal i Romania today.
and this is how the first ecompanys of headhunters will be created!
Clause 2 is indeed a weird one. I mean, as they state there, if you get employed you won\'t be able to check out other salaries and offers in the market and you\'re bound to stick with your current employer. That\'s only good for the CEO\'s, not for us. Also, the Government should be able to regulate prices if they exceed a certain value.
