What are the reasons for employees to oppose incentive wage payment system?

[nbm]

1. Inefficient Workers—If workers are inefficient and they feel that they cannot attain the desired standards to get the benefit of the scheme they oppose such scheme on the pretext of its being complicated and its standards too difficult.
2. Arbitrary Standards—For introducing an incentive plan, standards for work and time are fixed by the management by job-evaluation technique which is a complicated device of evaluating the jobs. Labour always charge the management of fixing the stands too difficult to attain and always oppose such standards.
3. Opposition from Indirect Workers—Incentive wage plans are worked out for workers who are directly engaged on machines. Indirect labour who is indirectly associated with production is outside the scope of an incentive plan. It creates bitterness and animosity.
4. Change of Circumstances—Every incentive scheme is designed in a particular set of circumstances. The level of incentives offered under it may be quite inadequate in a different set of circumstances. The results-is that workers have disputes and grievances with employers.
5. Other Reasons—If workers are ready to work to their best but they are prevented to work because of certain reasons beyond their control such as frequent power failures, non-availability of materials and equipments etc. Workers oppose incentive plan because they arc at loss due to no fault of them.
