Squanes

Since these are intellectually based jobs, Squanes will have an education from outside of the Meve and beyond their Coming of Age. They will either become an apprentice in their field or go to one of the few collegiate schools on Shakllar. With this education, they become one of the more sought after assets for the Meve.

Squanes have a hierarchy inside their placement, much like Priris, but without the ranks. They all report to the Ziampas who will decide when they will be given more important tasks. The more sensitive the task, the more important they are. Squanes start out with tasks that are all legal to begin with. Then as they gain trust, importance and show their worth, they move over to the more illegal tasks.

Salary and wages are based on where they are ranked in the Meve and if they are full time or work on a per job basis.   Per Job Basis:   If they work on a per job basis, then payment will be based on their rank and job, with bonuses for successful and timely completion. Most of the Squanes that work on a per basis job are working to gain enough rank to go full time or are at retirement age and still want to keep their hand in (keep busy). Those that are trying to gain rank are going to get low paying scut jobs that will mostly be helping higher rank Squanes, so that they can prove their worth. For those retirees who still want to work on occasion, they would get paid an equivalent to what they were worth when they retired. Bonuses would be paid out when a job was completed early or when done especially successful.   Salary Employees:   Salary is based off rank and time. Each Squane is required to complete any job handed done to them by their Ziampas and would be paid for a salary for completely those jobs. This is their full time career and their Ziampas is their boss. Part of their job might be as a front for the Meve, say an accountant might work as an regular accountant for a Meve own accountant firm and also work on the books for the Meve as part of his/her job. A lawyer might have clients that are customers of the Meve or the Meve might need his/her services. It all depends on what the Ziampas decides.

The benefits of being in the Meve versus not being in it comes down to if you are part of the Bera Clan - Rat Clan. If you are part of the Bera Clan and you want to live outside of Jordisk City, the safest way is to be part of the Price Tre Ui Meve Crostco. The reputation of the Bera Clan is horrible with most of the other clan because of how they played all the clans off one another during the Era of Pakanga. Even now, over 1000 years later, most shifters consider the Bera Clan to be backstabbing, two faced and evil. BUT the Price Tre Ui Meve Crostco has a reputation for being trustworthy even as they are an semi-illegal organization.   Another benefit of being part of the Price Tre Ui Meve Crostco is how wealthy it is. The Meve tends to pay better and take better care of their employees, even the ones that work on a per job basis. The Meve will also take care of any family if an employee gets permanently injured or killed while working on the job. Plus, working for the Price Tre Ui Meve Crostco is very prestigious, especially if you are working on the legal side or at least look like you are working on the legal side.
