Productivity standards in labor law
What are productivity standards? The employer has the prerogative to prescribe the standards of productivity which the employees should comply with. The productivity standards that may be used by the employer are based on:
[1] An incentive scheme; and/or
[2] A disciplinary scheme.
In an incentive scheme, employees who surpass the productivity standards or quota are usually given additional benefits. In a disciplinary scheme, employees may be sanctioned or dismissed for failure to meet the productivity standards or quota.
