productivity bonuses
Efficiency-based extra pay
Productivity bonuses are additional payments employers give workers for meeting or exceeding output targets, efficiency goals, or other measurable performance standards.
Unlike regular wages, these bonuses tie compensation directly to results, creating incentives for employees to work faster or produce more.
The warehouse staff earned productivity bonuses for processing orders ahead of schedule.
Critics argue such bonus structures can encourage cutting corners or create unhealthy workplace pressure.
