Sec. 345.53  Piecework rates.

    Piecework rates are incentives for workers to strive for higher pay 
and production benefiting both the worker and FPI. Piecework rates may 
be of two major types: individual piecework (in which an individual's 
pay goes up or down depending upon his/her own output) or Group Wage 
Fund (in which all members of a group strive for higher rates or 
production output as a unit, and all share in a pool of funds 
distributed among work group members equally).
