This phase happens after all players have completed their Founder Phase.

Roll once for everyone. This roll determines which industries trigger salary. See Core Dice & Industry Activation for the dice system.

• Roll 2d6 and sum the result.
• Check which industries are active (their Sum Cards match the roll).
• If no industries are active, no player pays salary this turn.
• For each employee assigned to a product (developing or completed) in an active industry, pay that employee's Salary Value.

Unassigned employees do not receive salary.

The round is complete. Prepare for the next round starting with the Event Phase.
