Chapter 47:The Incredible Overtime Pay

The myriad details of "Sea Fortress" were quickly finalized.

Within a week, the design drafts for each function were completed on schedule, and Huang Sibo reviewed them one by one. If he found anything different from what Bao Xu had originally planned, he would make modifications.

At the same time, this batch of designers began to use editors to make the game prototype. Since many common templates were used, the initial progress was not slow, but adjustments would still need to be made to achieve the effects Huang Sibo and Bao Xu desired.

The art resource needs had also been handed over to the art team, and communication and customization with the artists from the resource station were underway. This included character models for common zombies and mercenaries, as well as the customization of the image of the little girl, which was the most heavily invested game character.

For example, in the customization of the little girl's image, the members of the Tengda art team responsible for the image included a concept designer and original artist, a modeler, and an animator, each responsible for different aspects of the work. After this entire process, the little girl would become the game's most carefully crafted character. This included custom movements and expressions for specific plot scenarios, which could be considered a no-expense-spared approach.

Of course, the investment was still within the budget. This was because in foreign 3A games, this kind of standard was used for every character, often seven or eight main characters, while "Sea Fortress" had only one character, the little girl, made to this standard, so the budget was naturally well-controlled.

Sometimes, when Huang Sibo found better art resources, he would go directly to Pei Qian. Pei Qian would definitely just wave his hand and say "buy!"

At first, Huang Sibo was a little uneasy, thinking, can the budget for buying resources really keep increasing? If this were another company, the boss would probably be jumping and cursing!

Going from 800,000 to 1.2 million, and then to 1.5 million...

If this were another company, Huang Sibo would definitely be labeled "poor planning, poor cost control" and so on.

But at Tengda, Pei Qian not only did not blame Huang Sibo, but was even happy about it?

Huang Sibo couldn't help but feel that this was because of the difference in perspective! Despite his own shortcomings, Pei Qian still trusted him unconditionally...

It was truly overwhelming, with no way to repay Pei Qian's cultivation!

If he didn't make this game well, he would be letting Pei Qian down!

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. Today was November 29th, a Friday. For Huang Sibo, it was just an ordinary day.

At the moment, his work was almost finished, all of the design work was completed, the details were taken care of, and various game resources were being produced.

As the executive strategist, manually adjusting the editor was of course not within Huang Sibo's job scope, so there were naturally people under him doing it.

Huang Sibo's task was to supervise the other members of the design team and push the work forward. Compared to designing drafts, this work was much easier, so Huang Sibo hadn't had to work overtime for some time.

He had never felt that work could be so easy and comfortable.

"Di!"

His phone rang.

Huang Sibo picked it up and saw that it was actually a notification message for his bank card salary deposit!

"Huh? Isn't it the 29th today?"

Huang Sibo was a little confused.

Because according to the usual practice of most companies, salaries for the current month are usually paid in the following month. Those that pay salaries on the 5th of the following month are considered very considerate.

A very terrible company would only pay its employees at the middle or even the end of the following month, which is like withholding a month's worth of salary for no reason, and when the employees leave, they will nitpick and deduct their salary, basically finding ways to annoy people.

Companies that pay before the 5th of the month are already very considerate.

For a company to pay its employees in the same month, Huang Sibo had never seen it before!

"Your account XXXX has received a salary of 5,375.8 soft sister currency at 11:09 on November 29th, [XX Bank]"

Huang Sibo was stunned.

This salary is wrong!

He was very clear that he started working around November 5th and didn't work for a full month.

And his basic salary was set at 4,000 yuan per month, plus the deductions for social insurance, housing fund, and income tax, the salary amount should be much lower than 4,000 yuan!

But why is it more than 5,000 yuan?

Huang Sibo was a little confused, but this kind of trivial matter was definitely not suitable to ask President Pei, so he asked Assistant Xin directly.

Huang Sibo found Xin Hailu and expressed his doubts.

Xin Hailu smiled and said, "Yes, that's the amount, and there is overtime pay included."

"Overtime pay???" Huang Sibo was even more confused.

Xin Hailu nodded, "Yes, not just you, everyone who works overtime in the company gets overtime pay. You probably worked about fifty hours of overtime in the company, calculated at 1.5 times the hourly rate, and then deducted social insurance, housing fund, personal income tax, and so on, and that's the money you received."

Huang Sibo's mouth was slightly open, and for a while, he couldn't say anything.

Overtime pay, which only exists in legends!

And it's still calculated at 1.5 times the hourly rate of each individual!

Most game companies don't have overtime pay.

Not just now, even ten years later, companies that provide overtime pay can be said to be few and far between in most industries!

Moreover, many companies that provide overtime pay calculate it based on the local minimum hourly wage, which is just like paying the lowest social insurance and housing fund. It's all just a routine!

Tengda is different. Overtime pay is calculated based on each employee's standard hourly wage!

In simple terms, it means more overtime pay!

Taking Huang Sibo as an example, his basic salary was 4,000 yuan per month, calculated based on 20 working days per month, and the hourly rate was 25 yuan, while the overtime pay was 37.5 yuan per hour.

After calculating Huang Sibo's hours of overtime, adding the overtime pay to his salary, and then calculating the deductions for social insurance, housing fund, and taxes, the amount of money he received on his card was what he received now!

Just two words, generous and fair!

Huang Sibo had never encountered such a considerate company, no, not even heard of one!

Back at his desk, Huang Sibo's emotions remained turbulent for a long time.

So, President Pei knows everything!

He knew that we were working overtime against his orders, but he didn't blame us. Instead, he silently paid the overtime pay into our cards.

Huang Sibo's heart warmed, and his eyes became moist.

Moved!

He really is a great boss!

...

As for Pei Qian, he didn't know how grateful the employees who received overtime pay were towards him.

He is still worrying.

Why can't the system funds be spent up?!

The reason for paying employees at the end of the month is mainly because the system is settled at the beginning of the month.

Pei Qian has to ensure that the salaries are paid out before each system settlement, otherwise there will be a large amount of unexplained accumulation of compensation, which is very detrimental to the system funds.
