This study begins with a review of economic and
industrial relations literature to identify changes to the
workplace that will make industry more productive and
competitive. It identifies the measures necessary for
industry to take advantage of technological development and
to make the workplace more flexible. Specifically it
focuses on variable or flexible compensation plans. After
identifying the key features of various forms of flexible
compensation, it examines approximately 30 plans being used
in British Columbia. The case studies assist in identifying
the advantages and disadvantages of each type of plan, from
the perspectives of the employer, the employees and the
trade union. Finally it suggests steps that can be taken
by government to encourage variable compensation. / Law, Peter A. Allard School of / Graduate
