Ruling Council
Act 21
This Act of Council formalises the system by which official employment is handled in the Empire of Adammia, and creates a set of minimum wages with the aim of stimulating economic productivity.
Section 1
- a) The National Employment Agency is established under the Ministry of Finance. This agency shall be responsible for handling employment records.
- b) Any paid work being carried out in Adammia must be registered with the National Employment Agency. Non-paid work may be optionally registered. Registration of employment may be submitted by either the employee or the employer, and cancelled by either. Failure to register a paid employment, failure to cancel a registered employment which has terminated, or lying about employment status in any way to the National Employment Agency is a crime punishable by a fine of up to £10 for either the employer or employee, depending on who the Grand Court finds responsible, payable to the Treasury.
- c) Employment may be carried out for any kind of company, government body or otherwise officially-recognised organisation which exists within the Empire; anything else is not valid.

Section 1
- a) The National Employment Agency is established under the Ministry of Finance. This agency shall be responsible for handling employment, and for overseeing wages in the public sector.
- b) A citizen of Adammia must register their employment with the National Employment Agency if they are to be entitled to a minimum wage for that job. A maximum of two jobs per person can be granted a minimum wage, though more can be registered optionally. Citizens receiving a wage for the first two of their jobs must register this employment with the National Employment Agency; to fail to do so by one month after employment commences (except for the month following the passing of this Act) is a crime for which either the employer or the employee shall be deemed responsible, and fined up to £10 accordingly; the same applies to cancellations of employment, which must also be filed, so that the national employment data is accurate.
- c) When registering employment, confirmation must be sent by both the employee and the employer; either of these may cancel the employment.
- d) Employment may be carried out for any kind of company, government body or otherwise officially-recognised organisation which exists within the Empire; anything else is not valid.
Section 2
- a) From the employments a citizen has registered with the National Employment Agency, they can designate up to two as being eligible for a minimum wage. These can be updated by the employee as they wish, with the consent of their employer; this should remain in accordance with Section 1 b) above.
- b) Any registered employment is eligible for the Lower Minimum Wage, regardless of whether any work has been carried out.
- c) Any registered employment where at least one task has been carried out in a month is eligible for the Middle Minimum Wage.
- d) Any registered employment where at least three tasks have been carried out in a month is eligible for the Upper Minimum Wage.
- e) Employees claim the required type of minimum wage for each month; disputes with the employer, if not solved immediately, can be settled in the Grand Court.
- f) Each type of minimum wage is a monthly fee which is the minimum amount of money an employer must pay to its employees who claim it; each of these is set by the Minister of Finance.
- g) The minimum wage only has to be paid when the employee claims it and when there are reasonable means in place for the transaction.
