I was actually thinking of "Daydreams" as well, before settling on Labor Tokens and trying to keep it in its isolated bubble (a design philosophy which might just be pointless, I'm realizing).
I think it's fine, nothing in particular really stands out to me that needs to be fixed. Perhaps the guarantee that I had in the original that players are ENCOURAGED to ensure payment and such? It's not essential, but it would help ensure that Labor gets paid regardless of scams or being blindsided by our poor wording in some way or what have you.
