While I get what you are trying to say.

There is a big difference between suspected corruption and proven corruption.

There are serious conversations to be had about the “legitimate” forms of corruption such as political donations etc…

There is a minor advantage to the worker, if they accrued the AL at one pay rate and didn’t use it. Then the use/cash it in at a later date after a pay increase, the accrued AL is payed out at the higher rate.

This isn’t much of an advantage, unless you have had a major correction to your pay rate in the intervening period (like 20-30% increase). For a “normalish” pay rise of 5% the increase is small.

e.g. AL = 0.08 * rate, after a pay rise it is 0.08 * (rate * 1.05) or 0.084 * oldRate (for old accumulated leave).

A side note, it would be better for businesses if AL was accumulated in $ rather than hours. It is better for workers if it is accumulated in hours rather than $. To be fair thought, if it was in $ there would have to be adjustments for time value of money, it would be way more complicated and almost impossible to audit correctly.

This is easy to get around.

Just start any order with “In my capacity as president, I decree that…”

I also love/hate excel. It is great for a lot of simple jobs where writing code would take to much time, it is terrible because you can’t audit your code* easily or at all. You get these hideously complex sheets referencing who knows what with no documentation…

  • By “code” I mean shitty formula hidden in cells.

Did you do the graphs in python?

Because the colours look familiar.

This “rule” only works for a small set of ages from 14 ~ 30ish

If you are 14 then the range for “age” is 14 - 14
If you are 30 then the range for “age” is 22 - 46
If you are 40 then the range for “age” is 27 - 66

At 30 the upper level is 16 years different; while it could work it is a big gap to bridge. It only gets worse the older you get.

This reminds me of something…gaining favor of the ruler is key to your advancement.
