Question

Consider the following occupations: doctor, computer salesperson, computer software developer, teacher and assembly worker. Identify the method of compensation you think is appropriate for each. Explain your answer using complete sentences.

Answer 1

Doctor:  The best compensation system for a doctor is the piece system. It will be related to how many patients a doctor treats and how many operations the doctor will perform.

Computer Salesperson:  In this case the best option would be commission plans. A computer salesperson aims to sell as many computers as possible. Using these commission plans, the seller would be fairly paid based on their sales.

Teacher:  The best option for teachers would be the salary method. Teachers have already set salaries, so they would not be paid for hours worked.

Assembly Worker: In this case the best would be a paid worker by the hour or by the working day. An assembly worker receives the amount of hours per day or days per week. So this option would be in accordance with your working method.
