Price work rates

[Midwest]

An employee can't take on the risk - that's the employer's.

Not if the employee, skis off piste.

We have previously offered price works to our engineers, when they’re doing a specific contract and the works was identical in each store, however this was done through a consultation and those that didn’t want to do it stayed in there hourly

This is fine if agreed by both parties in advance. I did once try piece work with a previous employer on new builds at a set rate per room and in the end I worked out I was slightly worse off at the end of the week.
So we agreed to go back to hourly rate.
For me , piece work only really pays off when you get the 30-40% mark up on gear.
But I am pretty slow so if you are fast piece work is possibly better I guess

We had a mixed response, the guys that are quick or had the more advanced apprentices made good money, some of the others reverted back to hourly as it was working in there interest,

the model needs to be flexible as everyone works at different paces

This is a very similar situation to your other post.
I think it is time you found other, decent, employment.

Just read that one..

OP I'd be looking for another job.

I'm not sure how easy that is where you live but I'd say it's definitely time to find pastures new.

My employer recently wanted me to work to a price rate rather than an hourly rate

sounds like they think you are a slow worker
