Why did owners of sweatshops pay their workers piecework wages?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

To increase the individual productivity of each line worker, the more pieces assembled or completion of task the more money made, theoretically, but what if the company is dishonest and the accounting is different? Generally this type of exploitative environment would have accommodations, housing and store for instance, where the money made would go back to the company. The company would have it figured out by tracking productivity and it led to setting of threshold analysis (how much can a person in an age, or physical ability bracket can produce) so there would nearly always be, little or nothing left, leaving the employee in a slave like situation and in debt to the company.
