Machine Opportunity Allowance On some jobs the employees’ production is limited by the machine. In such cases, an addition to the other applicable allowances, a “machine opportunity allowance” is added to the standard machine time to provide the employee working as provided in paragraph 1 the opportunity to earn incentive pay. Scrap Allowance In some operations there is a certain amount of unavoidable scrap. Since the incentive pay plan pays for good pieces only, the normal time lost making and handling scrap which cannot be avoided by close attention on the part of the operator is added to and becomes part of the standard time per piece. The operator turns in his production separately good pieces and scrap pieces. INSTALLATION OF STANDARDS The Company will establish incentive standards when and wherever practical. Employees being time-studied will be told why the study is being made. The result of the incentive standard will be given to the employees involved. Incentive pay on the incentive standards starts on the date the standard is installed. All current rates will be listed in routing books or on computer and made readily available to employees. The Union may at any reasonable time and from time to time have a timestudy expert from its engineering department attend at the plant to inquire into the particulars of any established and installed Incentive Standard, and the Company shall furnish all reasonable and relevant information necessary to enable the expert to complete the said enquiry. CHANGE IN STANDARDS Established incentive standards will not be altered except because of a change in material, equipment, method of manufacturing, a demonstrable clerical error or by mutual agreement. Only those elements affected by the change will be revised.
