Employees & Hiring
Player-owned businesses hire other players. This guide covers applying and working at a business, and hiring and paying people if you are a boss.
You can only have one job at a time. Accepting a new job replaces your current one, and you start at the lowest rank.
Applying for a job
A business only shows up as hiring once its owner has opened an application form. Four ways in:
- At the business: its Job applications spot or office computer → Apply.
- From your phone: M → Services → Hiring now.
- On the website: nightcityrp.com/apply - log in with Discord and pick which character is applying.
- In person: a boss standing next to you sends a job offer.
You get a phone mail when the business replies, accepts or turns you down. A job offer gives you Accept / Decline; if you're offline it waits until you next load that character.
Working a shift
- Press E at the business's Clock in spot. Salary is only paid while you are on duty.
- Use the floating "[E] ..." spots: Stock room (the business stash), Register (pick products and charge a customer standing near you), Crafting (pick a recipe and play the skill bar - a failed bar gives half), Wardrobe and Doors (lock / unlock). Products must be in the stock room before you can sell or serve them.
- Open the business menu at the office computer ([E] Sign in) or with the F7 tablet. You only see the tabs your rank is allowed.
- NPC orders: while the business is open, orders show on the Orders tab. Serve takes the items from the stock room and pays the business.
- Delivery runs: Orders tab → start the run. A van spawns with a GPS route to a warehouse; load up and drive back to the delivery spot.

Hiring (bosses)
- In person: stand next to the player → Employees → Hire → pick them. They get a job offer.
- Applications: Applications tab → build your form (short answer, long answer, number, yes / no, pick one, tick several; mark questions required) → Save form → switch applications on. Clear the form deletes it and closes applications everywhere.
- New applications land in the Inbox (website ones have a Website tag). Open one and press Reply, Accepted, Reject or Offer the job. The applicant is told by phone mail each time.
Ranks, pay and permissions (bosses)
- Employees tab: promote, demote or fire anyone below your own rank; pick a person to set Salary or Commission and the amount.
- Settings → "New hires start on" sets what new people get until you change it.
- Settings → Permissions: tick what each rank may do (balance, deposit / withdraw, hire, fire, set pay, stock room, supplies, deliveries, crafting, register, invoices, serving orders, open / close, locations, applications). Boss ranks can always do everything.
Costs & rewards
- Salary: a set amount paid from the business balance every 15 minutes on duty (up to $5,000 per payment). If the balance is empty, that payment is missed.
- Commission: a percentage (up to 60%) of your own register sales and paid invoices.
