(2) An employer who wishes to introduce an incentive scheme must set up a committee consisting of an equal number of representatives of management and elected representatives of employees to negotiate and agree the terms of the scheme. (3) The terms of an incentive scheme – (a) must be reduced to writing and be signed by all the members of the joint representative committee; and (b) may not be varied or terminated by any party to the scheme unless that party – (i) has given all other parties notice in writing as may have been agreed upon by the parties who entered into the scheme; (ii) has complied with any other obligations set out in the scheme for varying or terminating the scheme.

Incentive work. The normal cycle time per piece will be established by time study of a job at normal working conditions. Variable allowances will be determined for the operation and converted into minutes per piece. A constant allowance of 20 minutes per day for rest periods and wash-up time plus 24 minutes for personal and fatigue totaling 44 minutes per day or 5.5 minutes per hour will be allowed except for the Polishing Department, where an additional 5 minutes wash-up time is allowed making 49 minutes per day or 6.125 minutes per hour. Sixty minutes minus the constant allowance will be the net operating time per hour. The net operating time per hour divided by the normal cycle time per piece plus the variable allowance will equal the number of pieces per hour. The reciprocal of the number of the pieces per hour will equal the standard hours per piece. EXAMPLE:
