PIECE WAGE SYSTEM Under this method, workers are paid in

proportion to the work done by them. The rate is fixed per unit of output, per article, per commodity, etc. the worker is paid for the total units manufactured.

Total earning= Units manufactured ×Rate per unit

ADVANTAGES OF PIECE WAGE SYSTEM Incentive to efficient worker Increase in production Decrease in production Equitable wages Simple and easy

DISADVANTAGES OF PIECE WAGES SYSTEM Lack of secured wages Inferior quality of the product Injurious to health of workers Unsuitable in certain cases Difficulties in fixing piece rate

INCENTIVE PLANS It induce a worker to produce more to earn a higher

wages. Naturally, producing more in the same period of time should result in higher wages for the worker .
