Can you start, and what actually arrived?

For players choosing an available shift, checking a missing start control or comparing income actually received.

A useful answer for this session

Read the current Career and Jobs panels before travelling. Use completed receipts to compare income, with commute and other spending in their own rows. A posted salary, a partial settlement and a full shift answer different questions; a promotion label does not establish the next payment.

Jobs & pay

Why can I see a job but not start its shift?

The available entrance is the immediate constraint. A Career card can describe a role while the relevant work control is absent. Read eligibility and the actual action before committing to another journey. The reports include available earlier starts and later missing controls; they do not establish a clock-based reset or an automatic-work solution.

How much did the recorded shift leave after travel?

Use the scope of the completed result. The recorded full Banking receipt was 11,600 with a documented 150 commute, leaving 11,450 in that narrow comparison. A separate partial result was 2,900 minus its documented 150 commute, or 2,750. These are dated windows, not a current wage promise or a quarter-shift formula. Keep the vehicle and observation date beside each commute: our 6 October start used Danfo at 150, while a 7 October partial shift used Cab at 150. A separate external Danfo report is a single-trip claim, not our new result or a city-wide fare.

Which income option fits my available session?

Compare options with values you can explain: received pay, the shift length you actually measured, and your costs. A side-gig quote, a career receipt and a temporary laptop gain are different evidence layers. Keep a clean result in its own row rather than averaging unrelated windows into a best-income claim.

Optional example: one playtest recorded an 11,600 wage and a 150 commute charge. It is one observation; confirm your own pay and costs. Complete all remaining inputs yourself.

Evidence, with context

What the source actually says

A menu label, a player's observation and a published reference answer different questions. Check the date and the evidence label.

Claims sharing a source reuse the same evidence. They do not count as independent tests.

Banking promotion

One completed Banking shift promoted Marketer (Level 1) to Relationship Officer (Level 2). This is one recorded result, not a promise of promotion in one shift.
