Wage incentive plans: plan with guaranteed minimum wage and bonus as fixed percentage of time saved Identify the incentive plan that guarantees a time rate and pays a bonus equal to a fixed percentage of time saved. Choose the correct plan.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Halsey plan

Explanation:

Given
Bonus is a fixed percentage of time saved with guaranteed minimum wages.


Concept
Halsey plan bonus = p × (Time saved) × (Hourly rate), typically with p = 50% and an assured time rate floor.


Why others do not match
• Rowan: bonus ∝ (Time saved / Time allowed); not a fixed percentage of time saved.
• Gantt: guaranteed time rate plus high piece rate/bonus for meeting standard, not fixed fraction of time saved.
• Emerson: bonus based on efficiency levels; different structure.


Final Answer
Halsey plan
