A bonus structure, you say? Well, that's one way to spice up the factor comparison technique. But I'm not sure that's the primary purpose here. I'd go with option D to keep it simple and focus on determining the pay rate.

Ah, a factor comparison technique! Sounds like a job evaluation method straight out of the HR playbook. I guess they want to make sure we're not comparing apples to oranges when it comes to compensation.
