First things first, Halsey is the name of a person (F.A. Halsey). The person who invented the Halsey bonus scheme.

In coming up with his bonus scheme Halsey observed the lameness by which employers rewarded their employees. Normally employers would set a time/ a deadline for an employee to finish a given job. Since different employees have different abilities some employees would finish up the the job in a shorter time than the allowed while other would finish well past the deadline and get fired others would mark-time on the job an finish it with the exact time.

To help solve this Halsey recommended a bonus scheme which rewards employee based on the time they have saved.

Example

If the allowed time for a job is 3 hours and an employee finishes the job in two hours, and the rate per hour is $10.

Under the Halsey bonus the employee will be paid a bonus based on the 1 hour saved (3-2) on top of his normal wage.

Earning= (2 x 10) + 50% x (3-2) 100 =

20 + 50 = $ 70

If a labor saves half of time of the standared time the incentive amount under Halsey plan and Rowan plan will be equal?

Bonus - Under Halsey plan the bonus increases steadily with increase in efficiency. But in Rowan plan the bonus increases up to a certain point and starts declining thereafter. Rowan plan provides better bonus than Halsey plan till the work is completed in half the standard time. When the work is completed in exactly half the standard time, the bonus is the same under both the plans. When the work is completed in less than half the standard time, bonus is greater under Halsey plan.
