Discussion: People Won't Work for Dog Treats!

1. As you have learned in this module, Wanda has several options for paying employees, such as salary, payment by piecework, time rate, and differential time rate. Other options include straight commission, salary plus commission, and salary plus bonus. Which would you recommend she use?
2. Would you recommend that Wanda use a single pay plan for all of the positions she needs to hire or are some pay methods better suited to some positions than others are? Remember, her employees will eventually cover the following areas:
   1. Production/Inventory/Warehousing
   2. Administrative Support
   3. Retail/Marketing/Customer Service
   4. Shipping
3. Thinking about a job you have now, have had in the past, or hope to have in the future, how would you prefer to be paid and why? Chances are very good that Wanda's employees are not sodifferent from you!
