Work Contracts





I remember the time when you could make a contract on Forum... but those times are gone and even though they said they will add contracts in game, they never did that. But it's never too late, right ?

So one thing I hate it's the fact that salaries keep changing... like every minute ! My salary gets changed every day... and also I had an active company and I had to change salaries every day to keep workers in my company. One day I didn't had time for it and 4 employees left my company. Annoying !

Now, because companies are cheaper, everyone is making companies ! So I closed the company in the end...


Anyway, I came with an idea: Work Contracts.





So, the idea is this: when you add an offer to job market, you will add in fact an work contract with the following info (this is an exemple):


Minimum Skill wanted - 10 (Guru😉

Period - 20 days (it can be set to 10, 20 or 30 days and it means that in this period, the salary and conditions won't be changed... so you will work for 26 ron, 20 days in this case, without any posibility to get a salary change or to leave company)

Salary - 26 ron (or your local curency, ofcourse)

Health required - 90+ (this is how much health you must have when you work, to get the full salary - in this case 26 ron; you can set the health to 10+, 20+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+. 70+, 80+, 90+ or 100+; so, if you work with 90+ health, you will get 26 ron, if you work with less health, you will get payed according to your health - if you work with 80 health, you will get like 23,11 ron ... and so on)

Minimum Health - 70 (this is where you set what's the minimum acceptable health to work with, in this company; in this case, I choosed 70 so if a player wants to work but he got less than 70 health, he won't be able to work - he can work only if he gets to 70+ health)





When is an work contract canceled ?

If you are hired for 20 days (as an exemple), you won't be able to leave that company (this is a game so I don't see why there should be an option to quit current job - and if there will be, the company manager will have to agree first). The company manager won't be able to fire you either. He won't be able to change contract terms (like salary, period, etc) BUT, there will be some exceptions from this:

- if an employee won't work 3 days (it doesn't matter if it's 3 days in a row or not), the manager can fire him;

- if the company don't have money to pay the employees anymore, the employees can leave the company;

- if the company don't have raw materials (like grains, iron, etc - where needed), the employees can leave the company;

- if an employee gets to next skill level, he will be able to renegotiate his salary





What happens when the work contract ends ?

The manager will be able to extend the contract. 3 days before contract expires, he will be able to send a new proposal. If the employee agrees with the new terms, he can choose to extend the contract.

If he won't extend the contract, he will be auto-fired when the contract ends.


Why Work Contracts?


Because, in my opinion, the game will become better and if you own a company, you won't have to change salaries every day, anymore. Also if you are an employee, your work place will be "safer", you won't get fired for no reason and you will keep your salary, as long as you respect the contract terms. Maybe the salaries won't change so often anymore, too.



I'd like to see such contracts in Erepublik. I will come with more articles about ideas to improve the game. Don't judge ! I expect to see nice and decent answers if you feel like you must comment to this. TY!.
