School business model: Lecturers are being paid per class taught instead of a fixed monthly salary.

There is a higher instituion that I know where the lecturers are not a on a fixed income. The school sets a certain rate for any class the lecturer takes. And then, they pay the lecturer the total of the number of classes they have taken for the semester. How do you see this strategy to pay staff?

I know of schools like that around me. I feel the model is pragmatic as it keeps the lecturers on their toes to want to earn more.

It has it's advantages and as well it's disadvantages. This would make the lecturers always attend classes, then again it might lead to them fighting for extra classes, and give out low quality teaching simply out of being burnout.
