Option B: 'When working less time than his or her normal schedule.' So, basically, the less you work, the more you get paid? Where do I sign up for that gig?

Wait, we get paid differentials? I thought we just got free coffee and the occasional donut for working holidays. This is a game-changer!

I agree, working holidays or weekends can be tough, but the extra pay definitely makes it worth it.

B seems like the odd one out here. Why would you get a differential for working less than your normal schedule? That doesn't make much sense.

I believe it could also be when working in locations other than the corporate office. That might require additional compensation.

I'd go with C. Working in locations other than the corporate office usually comes with some sort of location-based pay differential.

Option D is the correct answer. Employees often receive a differential or premium pay for working holidays or weekends when the normal operation is closed.
