Employees' premium salary

[5Z3K1]

What is the advantage of paying 200$ premium salary for my employees?
The normal salary for cleaning the station is 6-10$, for handling the register is 70-90$

I think it's just paying in advance. I commited the error of pressing it for mistake but I noticed that during certain time you won't need to pay him back for a while since you already payed. Besides, it looked like he would recover his stamina faster so that he could go back to work

Thanks! And I have to reassign the premium paid worker after the resting time or he/she will go to his/her previous task automatically till the 200 bucks holds?

All that premium salary does is it basically is a bonus and stam reset. Even with paying the premium salary, if say an employee is set to cleaning and finishes the job, they will still "go on break" or whatever until you reassign them.

It is handy to save the premium payment until needed, if say one of the certain challenge's pop up. It effectively doubles the time they will work before taking a break, optimal if you can pay them the premium / bonus, just before they would finish a shift. Freeing you up to tackle other things at that point.

It would be nice if they kept their current job task when paying them the overtime / bonus. I've noticed that they stop working as soon as you pay them, then you have to reassign them to the current job. But it is a game of micromanagement, I guess...

Anyway, I was wondering if I had a bug, but seems this is intentional, so thanks for this thread.

Btw I suspect the salaries have increased since this? It usually costs 140-180 dollars for a full normal shift for any job now, I think.

you can pay premium right before they are tired to reset their stamina and pay in advance, if you plan on having them sit there for a long period of time its useful and saves money/time. but only for things like car repair or register on busy days/party bus. otherwise its a waste especially on cleaning.

if you have someone sit an entire car repair shift thats 100-200$ pay so paying premium will reset that and have them work a double shift I believe. unless im remembering wrong.

Yes, Just like that is how it works now.

I recently reached 5 employees, and have been testing different ways of 'using' them.

I like to fuel the cars myself, and I have the auto carwash, so I have one at the register and one for repairing and one for clening, and I rotate those around for a while.

But I don't like to play a 24/7 station, as closing down the station to relax between 'battles' is so nice! So I like to go 'all in', with all 5 working double shifts while I go around restocking and such.

Very addictive game. Going to be a sleepless weekend!
