		Payment system based on work output (for example, number of items produced, reduction in the time spent as compared with the standard time fixed for a task, etc.), rather than on the time for which an individual's work effort is available (time rate).
		As actually applied and regulated by collective bargaining, piecework is never "pure" (except in the case of homeworking/outwork); in other words, it does not mean that an employee's entire pay is correlated to output, but only a part of pay, which is consequently known as the "variable part".
		Piecework is known as "individual" if it is linked to an individual's output, and "collective" if it is linked to the output of teams or groups of employees (see also piece-rates).
