Wages

• Paid each morning from the company account into each hireling's own account, by tier: Temp 10, Worker 18, Skilled 36, Expert 54, Master 90 credits a day. Tier comes from their level in their current job: Novice = Temp (if a temp) or Worker, Apprentice = Skilled, Journeyman = Expert, Master = Master.
• +5% per point of the job's main stat (-5% per negative point). A Novice with two good traits starts a tier up; a Novice with two bad traits gets 14. Foreman and Trainer: one tier above the average tier of the rest of the crew.
• Not enough money: everyone gets the same share and loses 5 morale; after 3 unpaid days they refuse to work, after 7 they leave.
