Document Summary
Employees were paid min. wage & had little/no supervision. Some lie/trick employers by keeping more cups (misleading sales). Individual performance: piece rate = individuals receive a specified sum of money for each unit of output they produce. The idea was, ppl would work harder for the $. But you don"t want ppl to outperform in certain places e. g; nuclear plant. Reduces the need for external control of circumstances employees. Links compensation to output & reduces employer risk. Specific info on the standard lvl of output change (law, tech) Straight piece rate = same specified sum is paid for each piece made, regardless of the amount. Differential piece rate = lower sum per piece is paid if production doesn"t meet the standard & higher sum once the standard is met: sales commissions = pay is geared to the dollar volume of sales/transactions done. Reduces need for other types of control personal life) mechanisms.
