Work out incentive bonus for output instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Time-saved incentive schemes pay basic wage for hours worked plus a share of the time saved against standard. Halsey pays half the time saved, Rowan pays a proportion that tapers as savings grow, and straight piecework pays the whole saving. Rowan protects the employer against loose standards; piecework rewards the operator most.
Halsey plan
Earnings = actual hours x rate + 0.5 x time saved x rate
Rowan plan
Earnings = actual hours x rate + (time saved / standard time) x actual hours x rate
Rowan. If a standard turns out to be very loose, Rowan's bonus is self-limiting, whereas Halsey and piecework pay out fully on the error.
They can. Pair any output incentive with a quality gate — bonus only on accepted pieces — or the scheme buys speed at the cost of rework.
