QUESTION

Which of the following principles most strongly justifies the HR representative’s position?

A) Equitable employee compensation is a matter of opinion and cannot be proven one way or another.
B) Employee compensation tied to performance is more equitable than employee performance tied to years of service.
C) Employee compensation is reasonable if it increases relative to the cost of living.
D) Employee compensation should not include benefits that the company is legally required to provide.
E) Employee compensation should include anything that the company does that provides a benefit to employees.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) The HR representative wants an expansive definition of compensation, including “things that aren’t reflected in your pay statement but still make you better off.” Choice E does the best job of supporting that point of view. Choice A undermines any argument about equitable compensation. Choice B: the HR representative never distinguishes different kinds of evaluation. Choices C and D, if anything, weaken the HR representative’s position.
