Bezique pay structure includes which of the following?

• A. Inflationary pay rises to all and bonuses for exceptional performance or whole workforce in a good year
• B. Bonuses only to top management
• C. No pay rises
• D. Fixed salaries only

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a pay structure balances staying in step with rising costs and rewarding performance. The best approach is to provide inflation-linked pay rises for everyone so wages keep pace with the cost of living, and to add bonuses that reward exceptional performance or celebrate the whole workforce when the year goes well. This combination keeps fairness and morale high while still giving employees an incentive to perform and to share in the company’s success.

Why this works: inflation-linked increases protect purchasing power so staff aren’t effectively earning less as prices rise, and performance or profit‑sharing bonuses create motivation and a sense of collective achievement.

Other patterns fall short because they either limit rewards to a small group (bonuses only to top management), ignore inflation entirely (no pay rises), or rely only on fixed salaries with no variable component. Each of these reduces fairness, motivation, or both.
