As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am modifying the wage for the following position:

• Regional Genealogist wage is decreased from 5,000 per month to 2,000 per month.

I have made this decision after two discussions (here and here) with the current Regional Genealogist Paffnia. The job does not require regular monthly work and the wage has been lowered as a result. I decided to not lower the wage further because the Regional Genealogist is the sole person responsible for their portfolio.

I have set the wage at 10,000 to mirror the pay for statue and image design because both jobs require some specialized knowledge and for the individual to manage a project from creation to completion.

Following the passage of NS 307-3: RMB RP Embassy Region Creation Act, the position of RMB RP Regional Officer has been created:

Mar 30, 2020 19:39:55 GMT -5 Lenlyvit said:

3. The Chief Executive shall have the authority to appoint Regional Officers for the RMB RP region. Regional Officers will have the power to suppress posts and Border Control authority over the region in order to enforce punishments specific to the RMB RP region. RMB RP Regional Officers shall receive compensation at the discretion of the Minister of Labor according to the processes in the Wage Reform Act.

As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am establishing the wage for the job of RMB RP Regional Officer:

• RMB RP Regional Officer: 2,000 per month.

I have set the wage at 2,000 to mirror the pay for pollsters because both are on-site regional officer positions that require periodic but not constant work on a regular basis. Additionally, neither job involves managing larger projects, which is an essential characteristic of higher wage jobs.

Given that this position is completely novel, I have decided I will review this wage after three months and consider changing it at that point. At that time, I will be open to public feedback on the wage level.

• Secretary of State: 2,000 per month.

Delegate Lenlyvit has asked me to post a job for an assistant styled as the Secretary of State rather than the Foreign Affairs Secretary. Accordingly, I have established a wage for the Secretary of State at the same pay rate as the Foreign Affairs Secretary, although I have left the wage of Foreign Affairs Secretary established in case it is used by a future Delegate.

As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am establishing the wage for the job of Casino Shift Manager:

• Casino Shift Manager: 3,000 per month.

Casino Manager Woonsocket has brought on Sargon Reman to assist at the Casino. After discussion with both of them, we've decided to call the job Casino Shift Manager.

I have set the wage at 3,000 because the position is tasked with handling large amounts of public funds and requires regular upkeep, thus setting it higher than other 2,000 Deputy positions. However, I have not set it at the 4,000 level of the Deputy Regional Reserve Chair because the overall scope of the Casino is far narrower than the Regional Reserve.

• Cards Co-op President: 4,000 per month.
• Cards Co-op Administrator: 2,000 per month.

I have set the wage of the Co-op President at 4,000 per month because the job requires regular administrative upkeep but not at the same complexity or centrality to Islands life as other 5,000 positions (such as Cartographer-General, Registrar-General, or Mayor of Shelter's Taco Island). I have set the wage for Co-op Administrators at 2,000 per month to mirror the wages of other Deputy positions.

As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am modifying the wage for the position of Cultural Officer:

• Cultural Officer pay raised from 4,000 per month to 6,000 per month.

I have raised the wage of the Cultural Officer to 6,000 per month to put it more in line with other jobs with high workloads such as Regional Reserve Chair, Casino Manager, and Awards Czar. Recent Cultural Office projects have demonstrated the broad scope and operational responsibility of this office. Additionally, the Cultural Officer manages a large staff.

I had not raised the wage of the Cultural Officer previously because I held the post, and as a result such a modification would require a Council vote per NS 269-1. However, since I recently stepped down, I am now able to change the wage.

As required by NS 269-1, and following the passage of NS 315-2, this serves as notice that I am establishing wages for Discord Moderators:

• Discord Moderator: 4,000 per month.
• Discord Community Watch: 2,000 per month.

I have set the wage of Discord Moderators at 4,000 per month in recognition of the sometimes high (although varying) workload and stress that comes with the position. However, because the workload is shared across a team of people, I have not set it as high as the 6,000 wage of people who are regularly managing projects and coordinating a staff.

I have set the wage of Community Watch members at 2,000 per month because they perform regular work keeping the Discord safe but are not as regularly involved in stressful situations or moderation decisions.

The Ministry of Labor should revisit and potentially revise this wage after several months to determine if it needs to be changed.

As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am establishing a wage for the position of Dispatch Manager:

• Dispatch Manager: 2,000 per month

I have set the wage for Dispatch Manager at 2,000 per month because the position requires consistent but low-intensity upkeep.

• XKI Flag Redesign: 15,000 paid to the designer of the design chosen
• Kinight Statue Numbers Edit: 5,000 paid to whoever does the edit

After a discussion on this topic arose, CE Markanite put forth a design job for touching up the XKI Flag.
It was discovered that some of the Knight Statue numbers are wrong, and a job for someone to fix that has been put forth.

Since the job entails touching up an important XKI symbol, while only needing one image, a wage of 15,000 was established for the submission.
This Knight edit job has been given a wage of 5,000 due to the low-intensity amount of work required to complete it.

This wage will be de-established after the job is completed.

I have established a wage of 5000 for the TIBOE Secretary, 1000 more than that of a regular TIBOE Member, because it requires additional work in the form of writing a monthly TIBOE Activity Report. I have elected to give the position of TIBOE Chair a wage of 6000 , 2000 more than a regular TIBOE Member, and on par with the more high-intensity jobs, as it requires running the TIBOE with oversight from the Delegate.

I have put it on par with positions like Official Endorser, which also requires constant effort, except for increasing World Assembly participation and endorsements rather than RP. All current members of the RP Commission, including the HW Senator, have automatically received the job and will receive their first wage for it next month.

The Chief of Staff will work with the Chief of Executive to ensure vacant roles in 10000 Islands are filled in a timely manner.

As required by NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am establishing a wage for the following position:

• Chief of Staff: 6,000 per month

I have elected to give the Chief of Staff a wage of 6,000  because the position is responsible for ensuring that all open positions are filled, and serves as the "Sucessor" on the NationStates site as contingency in case the Chief Executive was to cease to exist.

b) The Master of Tacos will be responsbile for paying workers monthly and posting monthly payroll reports
c) The Master of Tacos will be responsible for establishing wages for new jobs and periodically changing wages for existing jobs as needed

As such, per NS 269-1, this serves as notice that I am establishing a wage for the following position:

• Master of Tacos: 6,000 per month

I elected to give the Master of Tacos a wage of 6,000  for similar reasons as the Chief of Staff position. The Master of Tacos is responsible for managing the wages and payrolls of all Islanders, as well as facilitating 10000 Islands's economy in conjunction with the Regional Reserve. This high workload puts it on par with similarly salaried positions, hence the wage of 6,000  .
