Listen, they're not going to piss off the World Killer Killer over anything as chickenshit as a salary issue.

They can take the money they spend on her rend and comicbook store out of what they owe her.

Stefan J Neylon

True, but Her Royal Highness, Queen of New Albion ("May She Rule Eternally") and Protector of the Waves, may be willing to negotiate some compensation in order to get a Super on the payroll. She is a pragmatic one, our queen.

Jeffrey Nonken

What's her employment status? Is she exempt? I presume she's in a high enough bracket to qualify... And then you might need to show she actually worked that entire time. Since there's already a question of whether she should be paid for the time worked vs. the elapsed time, it seems difficult to claim overtime on top of that. I suspect the answer is "No." Note: your punishment for asking pedantic questions in a webcomic forum is for a pedant to answer you. :)

Sydney is asking the important questions here. :)

John Fiala

Does she at least get time-and-a-half beyond the first 8 hours?

Ryan C. Thompson

One way around these types of situations would be to add a chronometer into their comm chokers that keeps track of their personal time, then add/have a clause in their contracts stipulating that pay is determined by personal time experienced only.

So, does this mean that if she were sent _backwards_ in time then she would owe them money instead?

James C

One reason I love this comic: Dave thinks of everything.

Stephen Gilberg

Best get a temporal frame of reference clause added to our employment contracts, just in case.

Andrew

Yeah, there'll probably be a lot of yelling at the meetings to establish a policy on this type of thing going forward. I expect that your position will win out, and at some point in the future (when it's dramatically appropriate ;-)), Sidney will get a reimbursement cheque.

Andrew Denton

"Splitting the difference?" Arianna is kind of a sleaze, isn't she? Sydney was a textbook MIA/POW; disconnected from the chain of command in hostile territory through no fault of her own. The precedent is that while MIA/POW, the servicemember keeps getting paid. *Period.* That she only experienced two days of that two months missing is irrelevant; MIA/POWs don't get docked pay for being in comas.

Nicholas Perrett

Not really, if you allow for inflation. I predict that a tin of sardines will cost $50M in 1000 years. Not sure where I got that number, but it seems right.

Town Crier

100M/year. Sweet.

Haha, wonder what her business partner was told about her absence. Good thing they hired somebody, eh?

When Sydney tells them what she went through, they can make up the difference in hazard pay

Of course the United Underwater Wartribes of Amerixcanada wouldn't honor Archon's payroll. You'd have to go to North Amerigo instead.
