|---|---|---|
| Bonus formula | 50% × Time Saved × Time Rate | (Time Saved ÷ Time Allowed) × Time Taken × Time Rate |
| Behaviour as time saved rises | Rises in a straight line, without limit | Rises to a maximum at 50% time saved, then falls |
| Protection against a loose Time Allowed | None — a generous standard produces an unlimited bonus | Self-limiting — an abnormally large saving is rewarded less, not more |
| Complexity | Simple, fixed percentage | More complex, a varying ratio |
| Devised by | F. A. Halsey | David Rowan |
