a) Halsey plan
b) Rowan plan
The above discussed wage payment methods were based on the
time while the wage payment methods based on the productivity
are going to be discussed below:
a) Taylor plan
b) Merrick plan
b) Merrick’s multiple piece rate plan: under this plan there are
three grade piece rate rather than two given by Taylor.
Workers who produce Less than 83% are paid basic piece rate
Workers who produce between 83%- 100% are paid 110% of basic
piece rate
Workers who produce more than 100% are paid 120% of basic
piece rate.
Thus this system is improvement over the Taylor’s plan. But this
system also does not give guarantee minimum wages to the
workers. All the workers producing between 1 to 82% of standard
output are considered same and paid at the same piece rate.
