Proposal: Minimum Wage Increase

Day 2,265, 11:23 Published in South Africa South Africa by Marmaduke IV


Proposal: Raise the Minimum Wage from 1 ZAR to 42 ZAR


On 1/28, Miyagiyoda proposed that, in the aftermath of Lazokrats passing laws, which congress quickly fixed, we keep the Work Tax at 25% and raise the minimum wage to 42 ZAR. We then allow all certified citizens to claim their tax back from the Minister of Finance. A screenshot of work done is simple enough for the rebate.
This means new multies and illegal citizenship acceptances help subsidise our tax base.

The higher minimum wage means only Q7 companies employ people at a profit which is good for the economy and workers effectively get a reasonable share of the profits in return.


Input Cost
Raws: 14 weapons * 0.06 ZAR * 200 wrm = 168,00 WRM Cost
Labour: 42 ZAR
Total Cost: 210 ZAR

Retail: 14 * 20,00 ZAR - 10% VAT = 252,00 After VAT

Profit: 252,00 - 210,00 = 42 ZAR (16.6% profit)


Congress debated this and after a forum vote, the proposal passed by a vote of 8 to 5, with 1 abstaining.

Any congressman that has not voted in game yet should vote YES.
