Link them together or not

Hi. When we have a long sentence that shares the same subject like the the example sentence below, should we repeat the subject and make it a difference clause if we feel the clause is meant to be separate contextually? I think we should. I hope my question is clear.

He came home, rested on the sofa, and after getting refreshed headed off to his second job.

This to this?

He came home and rested on the sofa. After getting refreshed, he headed off to his second job.

Or this?

He came home and rested on the sofa. And after getting refreshed, he headed off to his second job.

I am sorry but please help me with this, too. Is this phrase correct? I believe the word "overpaid" is one word. Thank you in advance for your help.

... to help both under and overpaid individuals.
