- At company closing (about 6:00 PM TCT) working stat gains are applied, job points granted, employee pay paid out automatically, and employee trains generated for the director to use. If the director is inactive, trains stack up to the cap and are not distributed. (documented; Company › Closing Hour, )
- A company earns trains daily equal to its stars (1* gets 1, 5* gets 5) and can save up to 20. Trainers can increase this. Before the 27/01/2014 update owners had to use the daily trains to keep Efficiency from dropping; reportedly no longer. (documented; Company › Historical Notes, )
- Directors train employees to raise work stats by 50 primary and 25 secondary. Director trains and job specials are locked for a newly hired employee for 72 hours. (documented; Company › Operation, )
- Pay is set by the director per employee, capped at $25,000,000. It is a separate mechanic from trains: pay is paid out automatically from company funds at closing, while trains are director-controlled. The director must keep the vault funded to cover a week of pay and advertising. (documented; Company › Operation, )
- Staff removed the "Train Again" link from the employee training screen in 2016. (confirmed by Torn; No Confirmation for Employee Trains., )
