The Golden Rule
Break the gold bar in two places in such a way as it creates a 1/7th piece, a 2/7th piece and a 4/7th piece.

On the first day give the worker the 1/7th piece but keep the rest.

On the second day the worker hands back the 1/7th piece from the day before but you give them the 2/7th piece.

On the third day you give the worker back the 1/7 piece on top of the 2/7 they already have, making a 3/7 total for three days work.

On the fourth day the worker hands back the 1/7 and 2/7 pieces but you replace them with the single 4/7th piece.

On the fifth day you add your 1/7th piece to their 4/7th piece thus creating a 5/7 total.

On the sixth day you take the 1/7 piece back but replace it with the 2/7 piece. The worker still has the 4/7 piece thus creating a 6/7 total.

On the seventh day you add the 1/7 piece to the 2/7 and 4/7 pieces that the worker has already earned thus completing the trade.
