I think it would be a cool idea would to allow a contract for employment to be traded when someone works for your company. If this were the case you could give someone a lump sum of money and they would be unable to leave your company for a certain amount of time.
Some positives could be that people could work for items instead of cash such as a DP for a month or whatever is agreed upon.
A couple of options could include:
1) the worker being able to re-trade money or objects to buy out their contracts.
2) the company owner could be able to fire the person for poor performance even if there is time remaining on the contract.
seems to be weighted towards the company owner.
I think it would be fairly equal. It would be a trade so both sides get to double check the deal without becoming a slave or anything.
This actually makes sense, I hate when workers just leave unannounced
True but the main goal is to be able to pay people in a lump sum or to trade items and/or money for work.

What happens when employees go inactive? The way u describe makes it sound as if it is required to pay them for being inactive if u want to fire
that is the risk you take. you paid them up front for the expectation that they will be active for the entire month.
But if they go inactive and you fire them ahead of time, its not their fault, its yours for gambling on the wrong employee. but they cant just leave the company. I think this is quite fairly weighted.
Maybe the contract should include a provision which both employer and employee sign such as: Joe Bloggs the employer reserves the right to fire employee Player 1 in the event Player 1 drops below x amount of effectiveness stars.
So basically, the director cannot physically fire unless the employee falls below a certain standard agreed?
Also, instead of a lump sum, keep the daily pay. That way should an employer lose an employee he isn't paying out someone who is no longer there?
- I think this will be more balanced.
but then there is absolutely no value for the Employee to sign this agreement. The value for the employee is that he is guaranteed pay of X$ for Y Timeframe. Exactly the same as rental properties. person says * I will pay you X for 100 days* and person can leave and find other place even after 50 days, but they still paid for 100 days.
i think having the lump sum up front ( or even not upfront, but daily pay but guaranteed daily pay for the entire length of the contact even if you fire the guy you still have to pay his daily pay for the length of the contract*
If you think of real life, if a company wants to get rid of an employee under contract they offer a severance package, which here would just be part of the lump sum agreed upon. Like otter said, it is a gamble.
Also if someone requests a loan it could be a way to guarantee that loan. Say I ask someone for a $50M loan. I could offer a trade to work for them for 50 or however many days in exchange so there is actual collateral.
i thought the opposite, they can fire you by terminating your contract, but you have a contract so you have your money guaranteed so then you could be shit get fired and get your money anyway
I see ok that sounds reasonable then.
Brilliant idea. :)

Yeah but no one wants to be stuck working for some crappy company when your level increases. Torn is about changing job the second the pay is better. A worthy suggestion though
I like the idea but one tweak that could be made is you may move from company to company aftr buying out the contract but can not work for the same kind of company until you have held at least 1 position elsewhere. Ie: sweetshop worker may not move to another sweetshop but must move to adult novelties. this would act as a sort of noncompete clause to avoid people blitzing stars to poach employees from existing companies.
