The Employee Protection Act

[Faith Is My Shield]

A series of bellows introducing the new Employee Protection Act signed into law by Legates Faith Kruehtzer and Vellyn Lhyrian.

Live and drink. I am pleased to announce that myself and Legate Lhyrian have jointly signed the Employee Protection Act. As we approach the beginning of construction for the new district, this law shall protect workers and labourers, old and new, as they build the Well up and outwards.

This Act covers a number of work related topics ranging from a minimum wage, compensation from workplace injuries, and weekends. A sign detailing the Act has been erected on the first floor of the Palatial Pyramid.

Furthermore, to give employers time to make any changes needed to come into compliance with these new laws, the Act shall not come into full effect until two weeks from now--that is the 4th of Qdim.

Despite the many threats and dangers we face in this world, Ephia's Well shall refuse to believe that we cannot build a better future or a better home. May all whom contribute to its glory be justly rewarded for their work. That is all. Thank you.

The act, displayed on the first floor of the Palatial Pyramid, reads as follows:

Employee Protection Act

To protect the vulnerable of Ephia's Well from exploitation the following restrictions are put in to effect:

1 Minimum Wage: Every worker must be paid three dinari per hour at minimum.

2 Maximum Hours: Workers are not permitted to work more than ten hours of the day unless there is an agreement for overtime pay between worker and employee.

3 Overtime Pay: Any hours spent working overtime must be paid at least at one and a half times the standard wage.

4 Injury Pay: A worker injured at work in a way that renders them incapable of working is to be paid at half their daily rate by their employer until they are capable of working again. Claims of injury may be reviewed by a Judge.

5 Paid Dismissal: A worker injured at work in a way that renders them permanently incapable of working is to be paid dismissal pay which is a flat sum equal to the severity of the injury. The paid dimissal pay shall be determined by a Judge.

6 Day of Rest: Every six days a worker must be given a day of rest.

7 Labour Liaison: Employers must permit a Liaison to monitor the status of workers; inspecting work sites; reporting worker injuries; collect data about worker injuries trends; providing said data to the Legates and Scribes.

8 Scope: This legislation does not apply to the Accord, Scribes, Students, Apprentices  and does not apply to adventurer contract work. And specifically apply to people in service to an employer who owns the assets that are being worked with.

9 Violations: Each violation of this legislation will result in a fine paid by the violating company. The fine shall be determined by a Judge.
