You also need to add a CAN to this part:
If Agora's Balance becomes 0 or less before every player is paid,
the Secretary SHALL continue to cause Agora to pay until every
player has been paid.
But in general, why not make it automatic to transfer the right amount
with the announcement, therefore the amount transferred is always "right"
and if you make a mistake, it's just about correcting the Report (and
people can spend in the meantime):
Modify the rule “Payday” to read:
In a timely fashion after the start of each month, if Agora's Balance
is greater than 0, the Secretary CAN and SHALL initiate a Payday by
announcement. The initiation of a Payday causes Agora to pay each
player 10 shinies, plus another 10 shinies for each office that player
holds.
