I wonder if the company gives out 'commission' on the exam fees too. That would be a sweet deal!

This is a tough one. Maybe I should just guess and hope for the best... or maybe I should ask the proctor if they have any 'commissions' for me if I get it right.

Ah, the old 'trick question' approach. I bet the answer is D - commissions tend to make up a bigger chunk of the total pay, unlike annual incentives.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C. Aligning the employee's interests with the organization's is the whole point of these types of incentives.

I believe annual incentives are more about rewarding overall performance, while commissions are more about hitting specific targets.
