Tips:

-Incentivize doing your job. I don't expect anything crazy and give 20% as long as you did the baseline properly. If you can't be assed to read or follow a two sentence delivery instruction that says how to find me then I'm not rewarding that.

-Result in taking home much more money than otherwise in many cases, else the company still has to make up the difference to minimum wage but that almost never happens in practice

-Let lower income people keep more of their pay, if cash

I really see no compelling argument for eliminating it. If multiplying a two digit number by 2, rounding, and moving a decimal is too hard, we all have calculators in our pockets all day.




> Incentivize doing your job

Surely keeping your job is a good incentive to do your job?

> Result in taking home much more money than otherwise

People are still willing to pay the same amount of currency for the same product and service.

> Let lower income people keep more of their pay, if cash

I don't find "this system is good because it enables tax fraud" to be a strong argument.


What about the argument that lets people in the higher income bracket have greater control on whether the lower wage workers will be able to afford rent that month based on their own whims?
