Answer option A is correct.
An IME will allow Millie to be evaluated by an impartial third party. Modified duty is a short-term solution to be used when an injured worker is able to return to work but not to full duty (D). A reasonable accommodation strategy (B) may become necessary, but only after Millie's diagnosis and treatment plan is clearly understood. Terminating her employment (C) prior to identifying the extent of her qualifications and limitations is not advisable.

I don't know, isn't seniority more about time served than production?

I’m torn between B and C. I know B relates to job qualifications, but C sounds more aligned with how pay is structured based on output.

Hmm, I'm a little confused. I know there are exceptions to Title VII, but I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between them. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason this through step-by-step.

Okay, let me see. I think the key here is understanding the different exceptions to Title VII. Piece-rate systems sound like they could be one, but I want to double-check the other options to make sure I'm not missing anything.

I've got this! The answer is definitely C, piece-rate systems. That's the one where employees are paid based on the volume of their work, which is an exception to the equal pay requirements under Title VII. Easy peasy!

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't we be using the --uid flag instead of --user? I'm not sure if that's the right approach.

Piece-rate systems, eh? I wonder if that's like a modern-day version of the old-school 'piecework' system. Gotta keep an eye on those quotas!

I think piece-rate systems can be tricky because it's based on how much work you can produce.

C) Piece-rate systems, huh? Seems like a way to incentivize productivity, but I hope it's not at the expense of worker welfare.
