Straight Piecework
Piecework system with single rate per unit (no variation).
Formula
Earnings = Units Produced × Rate per Unit
Real World
Garment workers in fast-fashion factories are often paid straight piecework — sewing a set number of items per day determines their entire take-home pay, with no bonus for exceeding targets.
Exam Focus
Distinguish straight piecework from differential piecework in answers — examiners penalise conflation of the two systems.
