Fines
Fines are unique to Escher House because the size of the house doesn't allow for public shaming and social pressure to work as effectively as at smaller houses.
You can be put on referral for missing a combination of Suite and House chores. For example, someone who missed 2 kitchen shifts and a suite chore will still be on referral even though they only missed 2 kitchen shifts.
Emails
Fines are emailed to members before they are posted on RentManager. You can be put on referral for the fine even though you haven't had to pay it yet. Be sure to watch your email for updates about fines. If you haven't been fined, you'll receive a monthly confirmation saying that you have no balance with the house. If you aren't receiving emails at least once a month then you should get in contact with the House Treasurer.
