The description of 1518 distinguished between the three main areas of the enterprise: the mine, the saltworks and the administration. it included a characterisation of individual categories of employees, describing in a clear manner their tasks and remuneration and depicting the complexity of the saltworks structure at the time. It encompassed nearly seventy various specialisations, including the management, the mine and saltworks workers, as well as administrative employees. The organisation outline confirms the advanced division of work that functioned at the saltworks during this period. The document also mentioned the commercial salt types, prices, sales, as well as the saltworks procurement issues. a register of financial liabilities of the saltworks was also prepared. The names of workings, in which miners operated, were listed as well.
