Since release 0.60 it is possible (and needed) to hire staff. If you are a new user, you'll get a trainee driver and a trainee mechanic. They won't cost you any salary, untill they have some experience built up.
Each staff member will have different stats. You can hire 10 staff members at max.

These trainings can be done once a day. Every time that a staff member trains, the experience value will grow.
