An example is an employee with low performance due to lazy to work gets an appraisal and incentives as big as the other employees who have high productivity and achievement just because two employees are located in a working group of the same.

This situation of course would cause injustice to employees who excel with a lazy employee. And should the right of wage a person given to the person on the work he does.

There are six factors or criteria that can be used as a benchmark to measure the performance of employees, namely:
  - quality of work,
  - quantity of work,
  - knowledge
  - reliability
  - presence,
  - cooperation
