Though theoretically, given the presence of a surveillance team, they could easily monitor individuals' bank accounts and transactions every month to check if they received their salaries on time, the reality was more complex.
In the field, overseeing thousands of individuals was nearly impossible, especially considering that most transactions were conducted in cash with no specific record.
Logically, an individual could easily deposit a small portion of their salary and keep the rest for personal expenses, so monitoring bank statements would require too much work.
It was also amusing how most mayors opted for a cash system for salary purposes.
However, taking out a portion of said income could be possible to apply to individuals unaware of their real salary. This raised a lingering question: while it seemed plausible that lower-wage workers, such as gardeners, might succumb to this manipulation, what about butlers and maids?
