You could try something like this instead:
CREATE TABLE workers(
id_personal SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(30),
firstname VARCHAR(30)
);
CREATE TABLE payements(
date_of DATE,
owner REFERENCES workers
);
PRIMARY KEY implies UNIQUE NOT NULL
SERIAL will be an INTEGER DEFAULT nextval('workers_id_personal_seq') so they
get a number automatically.
