ConclusionThe key to trade union approval of bonus and merit pay schemes is
involvement and understanding. Where such schemes are fully
negotiable and the advice outlined in this guide is followed, such
schemes can be well received by members. However, schemes
must be kept under regular review and workplace representatives
must ensure that they are kept fully informed of payment levels
under such schemes and monitor the distribution of payments.
Most importantly, workplace representatives must ensure that all
aspects of the scheme are fully negotiable.
