I’m a bit confused; I thought pay differentials were more about performance adjustments. But now I’m not so sure if that’s what they mean here.

I feel like I saw a similar question about compensation structures, and it was about how pay varies across different roles. So, C could be the answer.

Ah, I know this one! A pay differential is the additional pay provided for specific circumstances or conditions, like working overnight shifts or in hazardous environments. Option B is the correct answer.
