My personal experience of performance related bonuses (before archaeology) was that they were an excuse not to pay the staff as much money. It also led to poor morale (in that staff were working harder and still worried that they wouldn't get the bonus).
In an archaeological situation, how exactly would performance be judged? Performance related pay needs to be linked to a clearly defined area of performance (normally sales targets and the like), and I don't see how this can transfer to archaeology.
