piecework payment
Piecework payment occurs when a factory or company pays their workers payment amounts made on the basis of a rate per piece or number of pieces produced on each payroll period. ... Therefore, if a particular worker total production for the any payroll period is lower than the payroll period minimum, the worker will receive payment based on the time rate rather than piecework rate. ... The coupon system is used for controlling costs and progress in a factory and is particularly, though not solely, suitable for piecework.
