Payment of a blanket "training wage" or “training
rate” without later adjusting the rate to the required commensurate
wage
Using behavioral standards when
conducting quantity and/or quality evaluations of hourly paid workers
Rounding errors in time studies and
when computing the commensurate wages, for example, when the piece rate
multiplied by the standard units per hour fails to yield at least the
prevailing wage rate
Inadequate time studies, such as failure to include irregular
elements (like equipment failure or depletion of needed supplies) when
calculating an hourly rate or piece rate
