description:

The application of task based contracting, whereby workers could complete tasks which were set for a day was good for motivating workers. Contractors should be able to use machines if they go over budget. Traditional forms of contracting and employment has focused on a strict definition of 40—day continuous employment. Whilst a clear definition of what constitutes an employment contract is good however there is a need for flexibility given that not all works require a continuous 40-day input. As part of EIIP some contractors are moving to a task-based and task-orientated work program which promotes flexibility and also an element of peer pressure. The approach also allows workers to obtain additional employment which increases skill, capacity and confidence. The other element is the need to balance a mix of labour based approaches and the use of machinery and equipment. Whist he purpose of the program is to increase employment, there is also scope to allow flexible approaches so as to increase productivity and maintain motivation
