piecework
Piecework is a system of employment where a worker is paid a fixed rate for each unit produced or job completed, rather than receiving an hourly or daily wage. The worker's earnings are directly related to the quantity of work done, hence the more pieces they complete or tasks they perform, the more money they earn. This method of compensation is often seen in manufacturing, the garment industry, and freelance work.
Webster Dictionary
Pieceworknoun
work done by the piece or job; work paid for at a rate based on the amount of work done, rather than on the time employed
