Salary or by the hour?
If you are paying by the hour, would that encourage people to drag out projects in an attempt to make more money?
However, if you are paying salary, does that encourage people to limit their production since they are going to get paid the same amount either way? Even with a bonus structure, wouldn't they work just enough to get the bonus, and then nothing more?
Any idea of which system generates the higher level of productivity?

Yeah, but real money, not that Austrailian Monopoly-money bull****. If I wanted to see some limey bitch on my money, I'd go to an English whore house. :2razz:

Pay me in Pizza Rolls, with a little rent money on the side and I'll work my ass of for you.
Until the pizza rolls ruin your health so badly that you cannot work to full capacity.
I have only worked one TRUE salary position and I loved that. My time was not even documented. Mostly, though, I work salary-exempt positions, which kind of sucks. What it means is that if I work 40 - 100 hours a week, I get paid the same. But if I work UNDER 40hrs, I get docked pay. I never really have understood it, but I've only found one employer so far who didn't operate that way. However, in these positions I'm mostly free to come and go as I please. I do have to put my time in a time card, but I just put 8 hrs for each day, no matter how many I worked. My boss has told me to do this. If I have to leave for half the day, he doesn't expect me to change my hours. If I have to take a full day off, though, I do have to use my paid leave time for that. The only time the whole "getting docked" thing would bite me in the ass is if I wasn't getting my work done, was taking advantage of what my boss allows, and he feels a need to crack down on me because technically he *can*. Most places I have worked do this. The exception was when I was a contractor for the DOD. They were very rigid about putting down EXACT hours worked and I *was* docked if I worked less than 40hrs and I was NOT given OT if I worked more.
I think salary is better and more flexible. I'm ALL about more flexible. I hate rigidity. (is that even a word?) Yes, it can mean that an employer takes advantage of an employee, but it also means that an employee can take advantage of an employer. Works both ways. Personally, I like the freedom that salary positions offer.

Commission (being paid according to production) usually results in the most profitable scenario.
If you're being paid on the basis of making 24 widgets an hour, no problem.
If you're being paid on the basis of making a big sale once every month or two, in a biz where dry spells can run for months, straight commission can be rough. Lots of sales jobs are draw-commission or salary-plus.
