Pensions, severance pay, job benefits?
Everett Andrews
Why have no companies offered pension plans, severance pay packages or job benefits to hardworking loyal employees?
After an employee has worked a certain amount of time, a few CAD could go into an account for him/her per week or month and as long as they leave the company with a certain level of production, they would get that money.
[a url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severance_package]Severance packages[/a] would work the same way if a company has to let an employee go due to cutbacks/layoffs.
Benefits would be even easier to implement. Buy a gift or two a week for every employee that shows up everyday that week.
Incentives work at keeping highly skilled employees and can be cheaper in the long run (and short run sometimes) than losing an employee to a rival business and having to hire an unskilled worker.
Having a highly skilled work force is beneficial to Canada and great companies with incentives would invite workers from overseas if we spread the word.

The NHS is used to give out gifts although im not sure how we\'ll get hold of that account now seeing as Grapez has left with te account details.
See http://www.erepublik.com/article-80992.html for severance packages and job benefits for National Armoury.
Ho, and I am slain.
Aitken, I\'d like my job back please!
Haha, alright 🙂
This is a great suggestion for business owners, but not politicians. A system like this would be difficult to implement on a political scale. What if someone misses work? do they still get a severence package? What if the employer completely runs out of money and can\'t possibly pay severence? And pension is for old age retirement, which wouldn\'t apply to this game in any way shape or form. Again, this article could be advice for employers to build a better level of trust with their employees, but to implement any of these things on a political level would be a complete headache, and would be extremely low on the priority list of Canadians right now.
By political scale I mean legally binding employers to pay such severence benefits etc
I only mentioned companies in the article. The paper itself with have more articles with political content.
If it is a sound business idea, then I trust the business owners of Canada to be savvy enough to implement it if they see fit; but at this time it\'s a long shot
it would be very difficult to get this to work.. what if someone hasn\'t worked because they have left the game...I wouldn\'t pay severence. There lots of problems with it.
That\'s a negative way to look at it. I didn\'t mention anywhere paying severance to people that have left the game or haven\'t worked long or hard enough to earn it. I\'m not saying everyone deserves this things, I just think they\'re a good way to show an employee some trust, and that they\'re worth something. They of course only deserve benefits if they do in fact show up to work everyday. Severance and benefits really wouldn\'t be that hard to set up. A record would need to be kept but gifts are relatively cheap (for now, I would assume more gift companies would open up if this caught on but even that would bring economic growth to Canada).
