Problems in the arbitration of wage incentives

Discussion of wage incentives, defined as all monetary payments made to employees as an encouragement to perform work. The author divides the discussion into two parts: contract interpretation and factual analysis. The author emphasizes the importance of a conservative arbitral approach, so as not to upset the established system. The author emphasizes that arbitrators must be fully informed, and that a visit to the shop floor might be much more important than witness testimony.
