Absence Problems — Are Attendance Bonus Schemes the Answer?
Abstract
The Question of Extra Pay for Better Attendance One of the important questions which faces managements in times of inflation is that of deciding what kind of appropriate action they can take in the wages field to boost performance. The regular award of pay increases associated with inflation has led to a loosening of the work contribution/reward relationship and has brought with it conflict between the “something for nothing” kind of pay increase which is expected as a matter of right as compensation for the rising cost of living and the “something for something” kind of pay increase, as represented, for instance, by extra pay for extra effort wage‐work bargains.
