Those workers who meet less than 83% of standard output, they get wages at ordinary piece rate. And those workers whose performance level is 83% to 100% of standard output in that case those workers get wages at the rate of 110% of ordinary piece rate. And the workers whose performance level is more than 100% of standard output, they get wages at the rate of 120% of ordinary piece rate.
