Performance-Based Labor Pay Model with Predictable Cost
At Eclipse Advantage, we believe productivity should benefit everyone. Our Cost Per Unit (CPU) model ties workforce pay directly to performance, so your teams are rewarded for what they accomplish — and you gain predictable labor costs based on measurable output.
By aligning incentives with results, CPU helps you move more product, improve team retention, and maintain cost control while keeping quality and safety at the forefront of your operations.
How CPU Works
Our CPU model is built to align everyone’s goals — yours and your workforce’s. With productivity pay, you get:
- Fixed-cost labor aligned to units, not hours
- 25% average increase in productivity
- 2-hour reduction in close-out times
- 35% increase in hourly pay for workers — without added cost to you
- Built-in accountability that drives quality and consistency
Two CPU Structures
Team-Based Pay
Teams earn the same amount based on collective performance metrics, like cases packed, pallets built, or trailers loaded. This ensures flexibility to adjust staffing as workloads shift.
Individual Pay
While still operating in a team environment, this model rewards each worker based on personal productivity. Top performers earn more, creating a self-managed culture of continuous improvement.
