Flat rate
This is where workers are paid according to number of hours worked. This can be useful in service industires or mass production factories. However there is no incentive to work harder as the pay is not based on quality.
Piece rate
This is where workers are paid according to how much is produced. This gives workers the incentive to work quicklu in order to produce a lot of products. However due to the quick working rat, the products may be of low quality. Quality once again is not the priority to getting paid here so workers can normally get away with it.
Commision
This is where workers are paid a percentage of the value sold in products. This is useful for sales staff as it can motivate workers to increase production in order to get more sold. However if profits are small then the workers may not be paid much and will therefore lead to low wages.
