04 | game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head.Job.JobTitle.Text = ("BlueMart Employee") |
05 | job = true |

You're attempting to call the Local Player in a server script while the Local Player can only be accessed via a local script. I recommend understanding the difference between a server script and local script using this very helpful wiki page, http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/Client-Side_Scripting_and_Server-Side_Scripting . Now if in the future if you still are using the practice of attempting to call LocalPlayer in a server script, I recommend learning about remote events (through this wiki page https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Remote_Functions_%26_Events). But that is off topic. Basically, since you are unable to get the Local Player inside the server script, I recommend replacing the Local Player with the newplayer variable you set earlier. For example, you would use the code below replacing the Local Player,
1 | game.Players[newplayer.Name].Character.Head.Job.JobTitle.Text = "BlueMart Employee" |
2 | game.Players[newplayer.Name].leaderstats.Money.Value.Value = game.Players[newplayer.Name].leaderstats.Money.Value.Value + 75 |
