Requires appropriate monitoring

• A. Base pay
• B. Overtime pay
• C. Salary increases
• D. Incentive pay

Answer: (D)

Incentive pay is tied to performance, so it must be monitored to confirm that rewards reflect actual results and to prevent manipulation of metrics. Ongoing monitoring ensures data integrity, that the performance criteria are applied consistently, and that payouts are fair and timely. Without oversight, incentives can be gamed or misreported, which can erode trust and distort motivation. Fixed pay elements like base pay, overtime, or standard salary increases don’t depend on continuous performance measurements to the same extent, so they don’t require the same level of ongoing monitoring.
