As an electrician, why wouldn't I want the ability to earn more for improving my skills, knowledge and tools? To me, it would be far better for the owner of the company to say "Glen, we have allowed 14hrs on this project. If you finish early, you'll still get paid for 14hrs."

I wouldn't cut corners to get the job done faster. I wouldn't want to go back and fix it on my own time.

But I've spent a lot of time in commision sales too, so I may be biased!

The problem starts when a contractor is not bidding the correct number of hours. You can't give an unrealistic number of hours and expect a tradesperson to put up with it for long.

But if it is done correctly, I would love to work under that system.

Just my personal opinion.
