Bearland has made a change to how its minimum wage is set. Under a new amendment, the wage will no longer be recalculated every day based on silver prices. Instead, it will be set directly in Bearland Bear and held steady for the month, or for a shorter period during times of unusual market volatility. The goal is to cut down on constant swings and make payroll simpler to manage.

For now, the minimum wage is set at Ƃ1.45 per hour.

That rate will remain in place for the rest of the month, or for at least seven days if conditions require an earlier adjustment.

The government can adjust the wage once per month if conditions change. In cases where markets move sharply, weekly changes may be approved to keep wages from drifting too far out of line.

Earlier parts of the law that relied on daily conversions have been nullified. While that system closely followed silver prices, it proved awkward to use in practice. The new approach keeps the bear tied to silver overall, while making wages easier to account.
