1. Create new streams for the Bank and Bank accounts. Maintains organization.
2. Zero out everyone’s account balance, since it’s been awhile. A fresh start.
3. Paychecks issued bi-weekly rather than weekly. Less work for me!
4. Simplified salary tiers: 3 tiers. 1. Elected officials (includes President, VP, HoC, HoS), 2. Appointed officials (includes Congress and Cabinet), and 3. Citizens.
5. Suggested salary ratio: 3:1. i.e. Elected: $300/week. Appointed: $200/week. Citizen: $100/week. So, with biweekly checks, everyone will be paid 2x their ratio every other week.
6. All you need to receive your salary is to set up a bank account. No distinction will be made between active and inactive users — Inactive users within a given pay period will still get paid. This helps me out since then I don’t have to keep track of everyone’s activity. Plus, inactive users are unlikely to ever actually use their money anyway, so it doesn’t really matter if they keep getting paid. If they do come back after some time, then they will find a nice chunk of change in their bank accounts to encourage them to return back to the PRESIDENTS economy.
