Piecework
Payment system paying per unit produced/completed work.
Formula
Total Pay = Number of Units × Rate per Unit
Real World
Deliveroo couriers in the UK were historically paid per delivery completed rather than per hour, a classic piecework model that incentivised speed but drew criticism over minimum wage compliance.
Exam Focus
If asked to 'calculate', show the formula and working clearly; if asked to 'evaluate', address quality versus quantity trade-offs.
