Abstract
Method and system for dynamically adjusting compensation for one or more tasks are disclosed. The method includes estimating the compensation for each task in a batch of tasks based on at least one of a minimum wage for a task in the batch of tasks, one or more attributes associated with the worker, a number and type of tasks in the batch of tasks, or a target level of service. The compensation for the each task of the batch of tasks is then adjusted based on at least one of an observed level of service associated with the batch of tasks and the target level of service. The method is performed using a processor.
Claims19
A method for dynamically adjusting compensation for one or more tasks, the method comprising:
- estimating, by a processor, the compensation for each task in a batch of tasks based on at least one of a minimum wage for a task in the batch of tasks, one or more attributes associated with the worker, a number and type of tasks in the batch of tasks, or a target level of service;
- and
- adjusting, by a processor, the compensation for the each task of the batch of tasks based on at least one of an observed level of service associated with the batch of tasks and the target level of service.
A system for dynamically adjusting compensation for one or more tasks, the system comprising:
- a processing unit;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processing unit comprising:
- a feed-forward controller module configured to estimate the compensation for each task in a batch of tasks based on at least one of a minimum wage for a task in the batch of tasks, one or more attributes associated with the worker, a number and type of tasks in the batch of tasks, or a target level of service;
- and
- a feedback controller module configured to adjust the compensation for the each task of the batch of tasks based on at least one of an observed level of service associated with the batch of tasks or the target level of service,
- wherein the processing unit executes the feedback controller module and feed-forward controller module.
A computer program product for use with a computing device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for dynamically adjusting compensation of one or more tasks, the computer program code comprising:
- program instruction means for estimating the compensation for each task in a batch of tasks based on at least one of a minimum wage for a task in the batch of tasks, one or more attributes associated with the worker, a number and type of tasks in the batch of tasks, or a target level of service;
- and
- program instruction means for adjusting the compensation for the each task of the batch of tasks based on at least one of an observed level of service associated with the batch of tasks or the target level of service.
