abstract: 'The legal requirement for employers to compensate workers at standard

  market wages, even if their work falls below competitive levels, is

  cited as a barrier to job entry for people with high support needs.

  Productivity-based wage systems have been implemented in some

  jurisdictions with a goal of addressing this challenge by providing an

  option for paying workers at rates commensurate with work output. This

  scoping review explored the international use of productivity-based wage

  systems, the theoretical and practical arguments that have been advanced

  for and against productivity-based wage systems, and the relative impact

  of such policies on employment outcomes. The review followed the

  procedures outlined by Arksey and O''Malley and included papers published

  from 2008 to 2017. The search identified 27 papers that were pertinent

  to at least one of the research questions. Only three countries emerged

  in the literature as having discernable productivity-based wage

  policies: Australia, Israel, and the United States. Limited evaluative

  evidence was identified on the impact of productivity-based wage systems

  on employment outcomes. There is, however, a robust debate evident

  concerning the socioeconomic, moral, and legal implications of this

  practice. Ongoing research is needed to inform policy on this

  contentious issue.'
