Baiyue Cave Master

When they just got to work in the afternoon, Tian Fubao and Zeng Lijuan knocked on Wang Yuanchao's door together and began to report to him about the salary setting work.

"Director, according to your suggestion, the highest salary for ordinary employees is 99.6 yuan.

The fixed base salary is 18 yuan per month, and the floating salary is 81.6 yuan.

Then calculate based on 30 days in each month.

The floating wage is 2.72 yuan per day.

Then, based on our observations during the staff training in the past few days,

The production line in the production workshop can load trucks on both sides, but in each production workshop, people need to queue up and take turns to load bricks.

Through analysis, we concluded that each porter can pull three truckloads of bricks every hour by queuing.

Assuming eight hours a day, each porter can pull 24 truckloads of bricks to dry.

The conclusion is that if we calculate it by piecework, we can get 1.1 cents for each truckload of bricks that are dragged out to dry.

The production of tiles is similar. Director, do you think the floating salary for porters is appropriate?"

After listening to this, Wang Yuanchao knew in his heart that Zeng Lijuan was not simply talking about the porters, but was really asking whether all the workers followed this model.

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

“I personally think the unit price of each vehicle is too high.

After all, our red brick factory had just been built and had just started production.

Many materials in the factory are in short supply, and we need to exchange them with other brother units and production teams through unplanned materials.

And we can't just pay salaries to employees. We have to provide them with more benefits during festivals, summer and winter, right?

Where do these benefits come from? They are obtained by exchanging red bricks and tiles produced outside the plan.

Therefore, your salary plan should be finalized as soon as possible.

Only then can I call all the managers of the production department to hold a production mobilization meeting.

It is definitely not possible for our red brick factory to follow the 8-hour workday.

The red brick factory could have started work earlier in the morning and left work later in the evening.

Only by producing more products every day can we improve everyone's welfare and expand our red brick factory.

So I personally think that a floating wage of 2.72 per day is fine.

However, the piece-rate wages for each vehicle cannot be calculated based on the eight-hour working time.

Instead, it should be calculated based on 11 hours.”

After hearing what Wang Yuanchao meant, Tian Fubao quickly took a pen and paper and started calculating, then immediately said:

"Director, if we calculate based on 11 hours, the piece rate wage for each truckload is 8 cents per truckload."

Wang Yuanchao thought about it and felt that it was quite reasonable to set the floating salary for each car, so he nodded and said:

"Just 8 cents per car, so that your HR department can calculate the wages more easily.

There are also four production workshops whose production data must be collected by people assigned by your HR department.

Don’t come up with a plan to make everyone 99.6 yuan a month, or I’ll hold your HR department accountable.”

Zeng Lijuan nodded, wrote down Wang Yuanchao's opinion in the notebook, and continued to ask:

"Director, how are the salaries of the mud diggers and machine operators in the production workshop determined?"

Wang Yuanchao lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and said:

"Diggers are a labor-intensive job. They need to dig mud all the time when they are working. They cannot afford low wages.

So I personally suggest that the basic wage for diggers should be 18 yuan.

However, after each workshop completes their production tasks for the month, the diggers' wages can be based on production bonuses, and the monthly salary is 50 yuan.

If the workshop's production task exceeds the task assigned by the factory office by 50%, the digger's monthly salary can be rewarded up to 99.6 months.

Similarly, the team leader who operates the machine has a basic salary of 18 yuan per month and a team leader bonus of 5 yuan.

If the tasks in the production workshop are completed, the team leader's monthly salary will still be 50 yuan, but the team leader can enjoy an additional 10 yuan management bonus.

If the workshop's production task exceeds 50% of the task assigned by the factory office,

Then the squad leader’s monthly salary will also be raised to 99.6 yuan, and he or she can also enjoy an additional management bonus of 15 yuan.”

"Hi~"

"Wow, Director, this team leader's salary and bonus combined, isn't that too high?"

Wang Yuanchao looked at the two envious girls speechlessly and said:

"When our red brick factory was first built, we had nothing.

If you want to grow bigger, you have to give a big reward.

I always believe that there will always be brave men when there is a big reward.

Only when our production is well done can our red brick factory have more profits to develop and expand our factory.

Moreover, all the employees of our red brick factory are villagers of our Red Flag Brigade, and they are the objects of our benefit.

So our red brick factory is also keeping the benefits within the family. What's wrong with letting our employees and villagers earn more money?

This is a win-win situation allowed by national rules. Do you understand?"

Zeng Lijuan and Tian Fubao admired Wang Yuanchao's ideological awareness at this moment. They really felt that Wang Yuanchao was so great and cared so much about the people of the Red Flag Brigade.

So they nodded and said:

"Director, I understand. Please rest assured that we will follow your instructions and come up with a salary system as soon as possible for your review."

"Okay, as I said before, the salary setting of our Red Brick Factory must strictly follow the principle of distribution according to work required by the state.

Maximize the enthusiasm of employees to work and crack down on cheating and slacking behaviors. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Director. Please rest assured."

"Okay, you guys should quickly make plans according to this direction."

"Okay, Director, you go ahead and we'll get back to work."

Wang Yuanchao watched the two women leave and began to calculate in his mind.

Extending workers' working hours and stimulating their work enthusiasm through high wages was not a decision made by Wang Yuanchao on a whim.

Wang Yuanchao decided it based on the characteristics of the times. First of all, people of this era were really hardworking and diligent.

What people are least afraid of is working, and what they fear most is going hungry. As long as everyone has something to do and can make money, everyone is willing to do as much work as possible every day.

The reason why Wang Yuanchao wanted to extend the working hours of employees was that he really wanted to provide benefits to all employees and wanted to give high wages and good benefits to every employee of the Red Brick Factory.

But even if Wang Yuanchao was the director of the red brick factory, he had to have a justifiable reason to give his employees high salaries and benefits.

The ordinary employees of the factory worked overtime to expand production, which made the red brick factory gain more profits.

The factory allows employees to earn more wages every month, which is also a reasonable reason.

And most importantly, in Wang Yuanchao's heart, he really didn't want to hand over too much profit.

In Wang Yuanchao's mind, it would be better to provide real welfare to all employees, improve their treatment, and let every household in the Red Flag Brigade get real benefits, rather than expanding the red brick factory and handing over too much profit.
