Not necessarily embedded or an idea that doesn't make sense.
If I pay a worker do do ACTUAL WORK and only when they are working I can pay more for actual work and not pay for non work.
Time value analysis is the reduction of value to actual work output. Let's say you get paid 10 bucks an hour. Meh. Now let's say in that hour you ACTUALLY WORK 40 minutes of it. The rest is just standing still talking pooping whatever. That means you really get paid 15 dollars an hour for the work you produce. Most analyses show it is much less than this. Usually around 30 minutes.
Something like this could reward hard workers and penalize slackers. Your paycheck will directly reflect productivity.
Yep, and then the gender pay gap arguments will come right back as we all know men produce more in the labor market.
Which simply means you'll be being paid properly and so will they. Push it as an equality product and then watch them all realize their mistake once they see their first paycheck
You're missing the human element. Interaction, trust, agreement, compromise, etc. This dehumanizes the entire work ethic and punishes people from the start who are naturally intrinsically hard workers out of their soul, by telling them to meet an algorithm quota rather than giving them the trust and freedom to do what they do best. For example, I'm naturally a hard worker when I respect my boss and want to see my company grow. However, if my boss told me to meet a machine-managed quota, I would lose motivation because I would have no respect for a boss like that. Why would I want to enrich a company that treats me like a slave? On the other hand, I love working for small businesses who treat me like family and I give them my 110% because I respect them and I feel a part of their success.
You can't completely remove the human element from the workforce and expect better results. People aren't robots. This is why management skills are so important, something I've seen on the decline in recent years. I see a trend toward dehumanization the more technology increases. We start becoming integrated into this trans-humanist technology lifestyle and we start losing all of those human qualities that used to be highly revered in past times.
Only paying workers for work done rather time on location has the side effect of encouraging companies to over-hire and increasing tolerance for slow work speeds due to the extra workers to pick up the slack. What you end up with is 50 guys to do the job of twenty, on site for a typical work week, yet because of only being paid for work done and not having nearly enough work for everyone most end up making less than a typical part time worker. Working fast wouldn't mean that you'd have more assigned to you unless the company actually needed to speed up production.
Thats a fair point. And in a lot of jobs this would be useless as they aren't physical. This is more for things like package moving or truck loading etc. Rote repetitive motion stuff.
