Wages/Salaries
​
As we are not going from zero to hero, wages and salaries need to be addressed upfront.
This section will constantly evolve to meet the perspective of the Community members.
​
Definition of full time: 36 hours a week or 144 hours per 28 day month.
Part time: Anything less than 144 hours per 28 day month.
Wages: $12.50 - $35.00 Cad and/or equivalent in EasE an hour.
Raises: $2.50 Cad and/or equivalent in EasE every 6 months.
Volunteers: Food & 25% off rentals
Contributors: Food & 50/50 pay at $10.00. (50% Cad cash/50% EasE)

​
All wages, unless other wise noted, can be given in Cad, EasE, or any combination of the two.
While some may see the wages indicate above as fair or less than expected, please keep in mind that there are no forms of fees, taxes, or deductions of any kind for the wages indicated above. If you are creating as an 'Experienced' co-creator full time, you receive the full amount, wether it be $3600 Cad, 7200M*, or 120H** EasE, or some combination of the two. If you compare what you actually bring home after deductions where you are now, the amounts listed above become very impressive.
​
One also needs to consider that if they also live in the community, the majority of their food is being grown, fuel is being produced, tools & equipment are being supplied (see: your HomeFire Site Purchase Includes), there are no fees for living in the community except for the 3 hours of Community service each week, almost zero bills for your home, etc, etc, etc.
The wages required to sustain you in the conventional world,
are not required in the Community.
