Chapter 47: The Legendary Overti Pay!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ocean Stronghold’s details were finalized swiftly.
Within a single week, most of the design drafts for the functions were completed duly. Huang Sibo was in charge of overseeing the project and each ti he saw a portion which had a differing concept from his and Bao Xu’s, they would have to change it.
At the sa ti, the group of designers had also started on creating the ga’s prototype using the ga editor.
Due to their use of universal templates, their initial progress was rather decent. However, they would still require concise finetuning to achieve Huang Sibo and Bao Xu’s intended effects.
The arts team was also assigned to handle the communications with the artists on the resource website for liaison regarding the art resource requirents.
The universal zombie and rcenaries templates as well as the image of the little girl was also being prepared speedily.
Using the image of the little girl as a basis, the mbers of the arts team on Tengda’s side would have to go back and forth for confirmation between the artists and Huang Sibo and Bao Xu.
There were only three people in charge of the little girl’s image. One of them was the concept artist who was in charge of the original arts as well, another was in charge of her character model and the last was in charge of her movents. Each of them had their own job scopes.
With that entire workflow, the little girl beca the most invested character in the ga.
For so of the story segnts, even her movents and expressions were custom-made – it was clear that they spared no expenses.
But of course, all of it was still within the budget.
The reason for that was because in the overseas AAA gas, there were multiple lead characters and every single one of them were created with the sa standards. However, Ocean Stronghold only had that single little girl – that was why the budget was still well maintained.
When they occasionally ca across better art resources, Huang Sibo would go look for Pei Qian right away.
He would always receive a single big thumbs up: Buy them!
Initially, Huang Sibo would still feel uneasy wondering if it would truly be fine to add on to the purchase budget repeatedly.
If this was any other company, he would have been lambasted by the boss!
From 700,000 to 1,200,000 to 1,500,000...
If this was any other company, Huang Sibo would definitely be tagged with the image of soone that was weak in planning and controlling the budget.
However, in Tengda, Boss Pei not only did not bla him, but was pleased on the contrary!
Huang Sibo could not help but lant that this was the difference in a stage to perform!
‘How can I be so stupid? Boss Pei’s actually trusting
so unconditionally...’
‘He’s doing so with all his love without any need for repaynt!’
‘If I don’t produce this ga well, I’ll be letting him down!’
...
In the blink of an eye, the end of the month arrived.
It was November 29th, Friday.
For Huang Sibo, that was like any other normal day.
By then, his work was almost completed; work on the design aspect was done with the details handled appropriately and the various resources of the ga was in the midst of being created too.
As the chief planner, Huang Sibo’s job scope naturally did not involve things such as handling the ga editor personally – he had underlings for that.
His mission was to watch over everyone else of the design team and to ensure that progress was made.
Compared to creating the design draft, this was a much easier job and because of that, Huang Sibo had not stayed overti for quite awhile.
With sufficient manpower and budget, the progress was within schedule and there was naturally no need for overti.
Huang Sibo had never realized that work could be so relaxing and pleasing.
Ding!
His phone rang.
When he picked it up, he saw a bank transfer ssage!
“Huh? Isn’t it 29th today?”
Huang Sibo was stunned.
Most companies would only pay the current month’s salary in the next month.
Receiving their pay on the 5th of every month was already considered to be really graceful of the company.
Extrely ssed up companies would drag the salary payout till the mid or even end of the month. That was equivalent to holding back an employee’s salary so that they could deduct from it in case there were any issues if they were to leave – in any case, that left a bad taste in their mouth.
Therefore, all companies that paid out salaries before the 5th of every month were considered extrely graceful.
However, this was the first ti that Huang Sibo had co across a company that paid within the month itself!
“Your account XXXX has been credited with 5,375.8 yuan on November 29th, 11:09am. [XX Bank]”
Huang Sibo was shocked.
Was there an issue with the salary?
He rembered clearly that his employnt date was around November 5th and he had definitely worked for less than a month.
The base salary was set at 4,000 yuan per month. Including tax, insurance and rental allowance, his salary should be quite a bit lower than 4,000!
Why was it more than 5,000?!
Even though he was stumped, Huang Sibo knew that it was not suitable to ask Boss Pei regarding sothing as minor as such and thus, he went to Assistant Xin instead.
He found her and expressed his doubts.
Xin Hailu smiled gently. “That’s right, it’s the correct figure. There’s overti pay included.”
“Overti pay?” Huang Sibo was even more puzzled.
Xin Hailu nodded her head. “Yes, it’s not just you. Everyone in the company got overti pay. You should have done around 50 hours of overti for the company, right? Based on the 1.5x of the normal hourly rate and deducting for insurance, rental allowance and tax, this should be the sum.”
Huang Sibo’s mouth gaped open as he could not find the words to speak.
The overti pay that only existed in the legends!
And it was 1.5x of their hourly rate!
Sothing such as overti pay was non-existent for most gaming companies.
Notwithstanding right now, even if it was 10 years into the future, overti pay was a rare sight to be seen in most industries.
Not only that, most companies would calculate overti pay based on their local lowest possible hourly rate, the sa way they asured for insurance and rental allowance – there was a trick to it!
But not at Tengda! Each employee was given overti pay based on their own pay!
To put it simply, it ant that they were receiving even more overti pay!
Take Huang Sibo for example. His base salary was at 4,000 per month. Based on a 20 day month and an eight hour working day, his hourly rate would be at 25 yuan and his overti pay would be at 37.5 yuan per hour.
Thereafter, based on Huang Sibo’s number of overti hours, the total sum would then deduct for insurance, rental allowance and tax, resulting in the figure he received.
It was open and bright!
Huang Sibo had never co across a company with this much heart. No, he had never even heard of any companies as such!
When he returned to his desk, Huang Sibo took a long ti to calm down.
‘So, Boss Pei knew about everything!’
‘He knew that we were doing overti! Despite the fact that I went against his orders, he did not bla us and instead just added the overti pay to our salary’
Huang Sibo felt his heart warm up and his eyes brim with tears.
He was touched!
This was truly the best boss in the world!
...
As for Pei Qian, he did not know of the imnse gratitude his employees felt towards him for the overti pay.
He was having a headache of his own.
Why couldn’t he empty out the System Funds completely?!
The reason why he chose to hand out salaries at the end of the month was because the system did its settlent at the start of the month.
Pei Qian had to ensure that he paid out the salaries before each settlent or he would have accumulated a sum of money for no reason and that would not help his cause of wanting to lose money for the System Funds!
