I think D) Giving the amount below minimum in a lump sum makes more sense.

I heard they're considering a new approach - just giving everyone a banana and a hug every month. It's called the 'Ape-proach' to compensation.

Option A? What is this, the stone age? C is clearly the most logical choice here.

Ah, the age-old question of how to handle green circle rates. I'm going with C - slow and steady wins the race!

D sounds like a good way to keep employees happy, but B just seems wrong. Why would you lower someone's pay?

I disagree, I believe it's B) Lowering the pay and giving the amount outside the range as a lump sum.

Hmm, I think C is the way to go. Gradual increases seem more fair than lump sums.

I think D could also work, getting the amount below minimum in a lump sum could be motivating.
