Q.State any three limitations of the Straight Piece Wage system.

Straight Piece Wage risks quality, offers no guaranteed income, and can encourage unsafe overexertion.

Because pay depends purely on units produced, a worker may rush and compromise quality; earnings can fall to nil if a machine breakdown or material shortage stops output through no fault of the worker's own; and the pressure to produce more can lead to overexerti …

Limitations of the Straight Piece Wage system include:

1. Quality may suffer — since earnings rise only with quantity produced, a worker chasing higher output may rush and cut corners on workmanship.
2. No guaranteed minimum income under a pure piece-rate scheme — if a machine breaks down or raw material runs short through no fault of the worker's own, wages for that lost time fall to nil (statutory minimum-wage law typically requires a guaranteed floor, but the piece-rate LOGIC itself provides none).
3. Risk of overexertion and excessive machine wear — workers may push their own pace, and the machines they operate, beyond a safe or sustainable level to maximise the units produced. …

Students often list only 'quality suffers' and stop there — a complete answer at this mark level names at least three distinct …
