It is difficult to define hard and easy job. Most people will say, for example, engineering is a hard job and graphic art is an easier job. But you can argue in the following way against the engineering. Engineering is an easy job because you have a step by step process, defined in your books, and in your work manuals. You follow them and your work will be done. On the other hand, the graphic art is a creative work. There are no well defined procedures to create an art work. It is very hard to produce new ideas every day.
The concept of hard and easy is a byproduct of free money based capitalism. Same is true for good and bad. These are all false ideas to create discrimination in order to facilitate unequal distribution of free money.
In real life and in MLE people will do whatever they like to do. When you like something, that something will become easy for you. As Mary Poppins said, in every job there is an element of fun, you find it and the job will be done.
Thus a job that is hard for someone may be easy for someone else.
money-less economy (MLE)

You have raised a very important question. I thought about these possibilities. It probably needs both a short and a long term solution. I have tried to provide a short term solution in FAQ: What will happen to tax department like IRS? There are people who are working from home now under the present system. A system like that can be extended under MLE also.
In the long run, I have a feeling we will not need to monitor people; everybody will become honest and contribute to the society in their own way. In the long run MLE may become very complex. It is quite possible that everyone would like to do their own jobs, designed by themselves. The MLE should provide that capability. At this time it is beyond my comprehension in my ability to think it through. We may have to leave it to the evolution of society.
Since you have raised the question, I am expecting you may have a hidden answer in your mind. If you can extract it, please post your thoughts and enrich us.

Example: I am a professional memoirist. I help people pass their stories and memories down to the next generation. I interview them, collect their stories, then I bind them and make copies for family and friends. These become treasured heirlooms.
I loving doing memoirs so much that when I am without a paying client, I go looking for someone to give a free memoir to. In an MLE, I could do what I love doing, and the present state of the economy would not have put the money part out of business. Every grandparent would have a legacy to hand to grandchildren.
On another page, you said that an employer would certify that I worked 40 hours. Would I get my clients to certify my hours? But then, I spend about 10 – 15 hours interviewing, but three times that doing transcription, editing, book design and layout – and then even more time handling the publication. The time spent handling publication varies largely and depends on the type of publication they want (custom, hard cover, specialty leather, soft-cover, etc.
to do this, I obvioulsly need access to inks or toners and quality archival toners. So someone goes to work to create these and have hours certified – in order to receive the plastic card verifying a contribution, but how to I get my own hours certified when most of what I do is done in my home in front of my computer?
Perhaps I should learn how to make acid-free paper and inks. A hand-written manuscript on beautiful hand-made paper can be quite beautiful.
