(10 jobs) to the Hospital (14 jobs), three restaurants, a gym, music studio, space agency, and several local shops. Every Parafolk can hold a job regardless of life stage, though some positions are school-specific.

Each occupation has a base pay per day. On top of that, salaries scale with rank - each rank adds a salary bonus per day. The rank range determines how many promotion levels exist in that job. The highest base pay in the game is $2100/day for the CEO position at ClickWork Industries.

Job performance starts at 50% and is modified by emotions, skill expertise, and basic need levels. Skill-based bonuses stack on top: if a Parafolk's skill is above the job rank they get +30 performance points; matching rank gives +20; below rank gives -30. The 4 critical needs - Hunger, Sleep, Bathroom, and Hygiene - each reduce job performance by 100 points when they are critically low. Getting a Parafolk to work rested, fed, and clean is as important as skill investment.

Yes. Parafolk accumulate strikes when job performance drops below 10 points. The game allows up to 3 strikes before termination. Keeping skills leveled relative to job rank and maintaining basic needs before a shift are the most reliable ways to avoid strikes.

Domains are skill categories that group related jobs together. A single job can belong to multiple domains - a Hospital Cook, for example, falls under both Health and Food. There are 11 domains in Paralives: Management, Service Industry, Art, Handy, Health, Teaching, Food, Software Development, Science, Music, and Fitness.
