Payment & Reimbursement

While corporate white-collar workers have very long shifts and work weeks (up to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week), thier pay is low. A reason cited for this is that usually a corporate housing is provided with it and discounts in corporate owned grocers are given. Often, especially in corporate arcologies and similar housing projects, wages are payed in a corporate scrip instead of credits.
Critics have complained that corporations offer these "perks" to ensure an emploies dependence on the corporation. Similarly they say that issueing corporate scrip, which is only accepted at corporate stores, is a scheme to keep the money in a closed loop inside the corporation.
