Employees v1.8 fs25-mods

Description:

The "Employees" mod enhances the game with a detailed personnel system. You can hire employees, assign them to various work areas, and develop their skills through training. They handle tasks such as animal husbandry and machine maintenance. Different contract types, salaries, illnesses, retirement, and temporary workers allow for more realistic staff management. v1.8.0.0: - Seasonal workers earn lower wages, are employed from March to October, and work at 80% speed. - Note: FS25_EmployeesRC.zip is compatible only with AutoDrive (version 3.0.1.3 RC); other versions are not supported.
