I have a vague memory of "at risk pay" being used in a different context, but it sounds like a good fit here.

I feel like "base pay" is more about fixed salaries, so that doesn't seem right for Amy's situation.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the relationship between ethics and profitability during a recession.

Ah, I remember this now. The NSX Manager has a dedicated web-based UI that we can use to access and manage it. I'm confident that option B is the correct answer here.
