I like the ratio of income to lowest worker though in practice you just outsource all of your production to a shell company. Its switzerlands case you would outsource it all to Poland. And 12 to 1 is pretty punative. If you lowest employee makes 40k a year the max would make 480k. I don't think Switzerland would have many doctors yet.
I would set the cap at 100:1 and that might work. Effectively that would cap CEO pay at around 2-3 million a year.
As for a minimum living amount that is essentially a kick ass well fair program. At 2500 per month per person I would quit my job each summer. With a spouse that is 60k per year. If I was administering anykind of program like that it would be based on a top up where if minimum wage did not provide enough income the government would top up that amount. So at $10 per hour you make 20k per which is 1666 per month so the government would top up the remaining 800 or so dollars.
I would definately support a program like that if it slowly weened people off government money as their income increased. It would provide incentive to improve your situation and a requirement to work
