~Payment and Gold~ °*^V^~¨(Treasury Listing for Payment)¤~^V^*°
The treasury because this is where you get your pay from. Thus it behooves us to make sure this basic system of our welfare work for the people as a whole.
Playing roles in the system is inactive, active, and bonus pay. Now you receive your pay based on your rank and dedication to the Kingdom. Each of the pay ratings are pretty accurate as to what you need to make to get along in the Lands. If there is a need for funds we will do our best to provide. The treasury wishes to insure that there are no homeless in the alliance. This perhaps may be inevitable but we wish to attempt to attain such a nice goal.
Pay periods are on the days that the roster is sent out. The first of the month and the fifteenth. The following rules will explain what should be done in that time to achieve the highest pay of bonus.
And unless you keep track of your own pay, it is assumed you spent it all. Sorry, it works best this way.
~Inactive Pay~
Inactive Pay is for those who need a leave of absence from the Kingdom. It is also a way to slash pay for those who are not active within Realm. If you are unseen or unheard of in two weeks time you will then be considered inactive and your pay will reflect this. Now, if you continue to be delinquent in action within the Kingdom for the two following weeks you will then be rejected from Empyrean. If you wish to reapply for admission you will be considered only if you have a valid reason. But please remember that a note doesn't take long and asking for a leave of absence is likely to be accepted.
~Active Pay~
Active Pay is for those seen and doing in the Province. The Basic Pay is allotted to them for the essentials they need. Housing, furniture, food and arms. By doing your job in the Kingdom you will receive this. However, keep in mind that if you are inactive two weeks then you will be dropped to inactive pay. To stay active you must be seen at the very least in the Court.
~Bonus Pay~
Bonus pay is for those who go far and beyond the mark of basic duty. Adventures on the message board, quests within the Lands (storylines) and even then we have the basic work of your division. This is for the overachievers of the Kingdom those who should be commanders and those who should be promoted. Given time everyone should be able to reach this point and hold steady with their work and endeavors will be amply awarded.
Below is a Chart of the base pays for each of the levels. According to the chart everyone begins at level one Basic One. You can get more pay as time goes on. All of us begin at a certain level of pay and then branch off from there. Unless you have a contract made with the treasury as to how much money you are making and how much you are donating, this is a basic way to go off of things.

Our talented accountants and treasurers in the Kingdom work hard to make sure that we have a system of money that works itself. Now come pay time each person in the Land will have to pay 10 percent of their pay to taxes. This is for balls and other events the lands might hold. Now as for those who are involved in the churches within our fair Empyrean. They also need to pay a tithe of 10 percent to the church. To help feed the poor, clothe the needy, shelter the homeless. If others in the Empyrean wish to spend their GP here they can donate it as well. If there ever comes a time when there is a need to raise takes or ask for a donation from the Kingdom to be made, you will be notified ahead of time that this will be taking place.
