Incentive Plans for Indirect Workers
Indirect workers are as much essential for production as direct workers and as such full increase in production can not be obtained without the full co-operation of the indirect workers.
Therefore, incentive may be introduced for indirect workers either to achieve the efficiency of the services they provide to direct workers or to induce foremen or supervisors to increase departmental efficiency and thus, reduce costs.
Also payment of bonus to indirect workers, when it is being paid to direct workers will prevent labour unrest.
