> Any respectable employer/employee relationship transacts on results rather than time anyway.

No. This may be common in freelance contracts, but is almost never the case in employment contracts, which specify a time-based compensation (usually either per hour or per month).



I believe parent's point was that if ones management is clueless as to how to measure output and compensation/continued employment is unlinked from same... one is probably working for a bad company.


Yea, I said ‘respectable’.


That's just not how employment laws are written.


Employment law actually permits per-piece payments too, albeit that type of pay scale is rare.
