The Employers Initiative

Hello eSouth Africa!


After hosting an Economy Summit thread in PMs, in-game articles and on the forums we tossed around many ideas. Claudio came to me with some enhancements to my ideas and we collaborated on some ideas.

We come to you today, with a plan that has been refined to be successful and get the money into the hands of as many South Africans as possible in a responsible manner.

Currently the Global Economy is bad. South Africa's Marketplace is also dismal. Playing around with taxes really doesn't accomplish much if the demand isn't there. "Price Fixing" is a decent idea, but it relies too much on the honor system. Which has been proven not to work.

The government has some money, but "Donating It" doesn't seem like a responsible way to use it. It doesn't help the economy, nor does it maximize the potential profits with this money. Many will accept the money with no problem, but investing it wisely is the number one problem.

Conversely, we have a lot of citizens with Factories that are not being used since weapon sales aren't what they used to be. This seems like a waste and it's sad to see all these factories sitting idly by with no uses. We need to find a way to make the top factories actually profitable.

With this program. The owners of each company will register with the government that they are interested in participating. They will then have the wages of their workers subsidized in either branch of the Employers Initiative Program they qualify for.

Here are the branches, with detailed information and qualifications:

CusCus

Qualification:

- Be a Citizen of the Republic of eSouth Africa

- Own a Weapons Factory Quality Level 5 or higher

Info

A registered employer under this branch will be required to take on 5 SOUTH AFRICAN employees. We can not raise minimum wages for risk of citizens outside the country being interested in stealing our jobs. However, after employment, the Registered employer raises the South African's Salary to 30 ZAR per day.

Amount of Wage Subsidized per Worker: 20 ZAR

Employers in this branch will be encouraged to enter into an agreement with the government to buy their weapons at listed prices.

DoDo

Qualification:

- Be a Citizen of the Republic of eSouth Africa

Info

A registered employer under this branch will be required to take on a MINIMUM of 5 eSOUTH AFRICAN employees. We can not raise minimum wages for risk of citizens outside the country being interested in stealing our jobs. However, after employment, the Registered employer raises the South African's Salary to 30 ZAR per day.

Amount of Wage Subsidized per Worker: 20 ZAR

Raw Material producing Employers in this branch will be encouraged to enter into agreements with CusCus Employers to buy their raw materials at listed prices.



Requirements (And Program Logistics)


A registered Employer will be required to take a snapshot of his or her workers 7 day presence found in:

My Places --> Manage Employees




This will then be submitted to the Ministry of Finance via PM, in-game or on forum(s) as an image link from an image hosting website of the Employer's choice (recommende😛 www.imgur.com).

The snapshot will be required to show:

- Employer Name

- eRepublic Day

Number of employees

- Employees' names (for verification purposes)

- Employees' salaries

All perceived personal information is encouraged to be edited out.

An Example of a work presence snapshot







Subsidy Payout


Subsidy payout to Employers will be done every Tuesday. These payments will be calculated according to the Employer's worker's 7 day presence.

e.g.

Registered Employee employs 6 workers. They have a 7 day work presence.

Amount of Subsidy Payout = Number of Workers * Subsidized Amount * (Days Worked By all Workers / 7)

Which in this case = 6 Workers x 20 Zar Subsidized per Worker x ( (7+7+7+7+7+7) / 7 )

Which is = 120 Zar x 7

= 840 Zar


Please Note:

- ANY ATTEMPT TO DOCTOR A 7 DAY WORKER'S PRESENCE WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE EXPULSION FROM THE PROGRAM FOR THE EMPLOYER


- ITS THE DUTY OF EVERY WORKER TO ASK THEIR EMPLOYER IF THEY ARE REGISTERED IN THE PROGRAM AND THEREFORE MONITOR THEIR WAGES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT DECREASED TO BELOW 30 ZAR. WORKERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE SNAPSHOT OF ANY VIOLATIONS AND SEND THEM TO THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE.
