At the start of each round, one firm will be matched with one employee. Each firm-employee match will interact with each other exactly once. So, if you assume the role of a firm, you will be matched with each employee exactly once. Likewise, if you assume the role of an employee, you will be matched with each firm exactly once.

Each round consists of phases in which either the firm or the employee makes decisions. These decisions relate to a wage amount and a production level, which will determine the payoff for both the firm and employee.

The firm’s payoff is calculated as follows:

Firm payoff = (120 × production level) - wage

The employee’s payoff is calculated as follows:

Employee payoff = wage - production cost

Wage will be explained in Phase 1, production level and production cost will be explained in Phase 2.

The phases in each round proceed according to the diagram below:
