Meaning of Collective Bonus Plan
In the schemes discussed so far, the bonus to be paid has been calculated on the basis of individual worker’s performance. But there are certain jobs which are required to be done collectively by a group of workers.
In continuous production for example, work flows in a sequence or in assembly work for televisions, radios, scooters, etc. a team of workers is engaged on various operations. As such, it becomes necessary to introduce bonus schemes for collective efficiency of the group as a whole the intention is to create a collective interest in the work.
The total bonus determined is distributed among the members of the group on an equitable basis. The following bases-of distribution are commonly used:
1. Equal distribution, if skill and grade of workers in the group is uniform.
2. On the basis of time wages of each worker.
3. In proportion to the time rate of each worker, where each worker has devoted equal time.
4. In a fixed ratio determined in advance on the basis of merit rating.
Suitability of Collective Bonus Plan
Collective bonus schemes may be usefully employed in the following circumstances:
1. Where it is not possible to measure the performance of each individual worker.
