3 piece work

piece-rate system or piece work

HR

a system of payment through which an employee is paid a predetermined amount for each unit of output. The rate of pay, or piece rate, is usually fixed subjectively, rather than by a more objective technique such as work study. Rates are said to be tight when it is difficult for an employee to earn a bonus and loose when bonuses are easily earned. Piece-rate systems, or piece work, are a form of payment by results or performance-related pay.
