Note:
In a straight piece rate pay system, employees are compensated based on the number of units they produce or tasks they complete.
Formula Gross pay = Number of units produced × Rate per unit
In a differential pay schedule, pay is adjusted based on different criteria, allowing for variations in pay.
Formula Gross pay = Number of units produced × Various rates per unit
