    • D.

      Work-life programs

    Correct Answer
    B. Incentive Pay
    Explanation
    Incentive pay is not considered as one of the five components of total rewards. Total rewards typically include compensation, development and career opportunities, work-life programs, and other benefits that an organization offers to its employees. Incentive pay, on the other hand, is a form of additional compensation that is given to employees as a reward for achieving certain goals or targets. While it is an important aspect of employee motivation and performance, it is not classified as a component of total rewards.

    Explanation
    Compensable factors are aspects or characteristics of a job that are used to determine its value and the appropriate level of compensation. These factors typically include skill requirements, working conditions, and responsibilities associated with the job. However, "level" is not a category of compensable factors. It is likely that "level" refers to the hierarchical position or grade of an employee within an organization, which is not considered a compensable factor.

      Vacation

    D. Sabbaticals
    Explanation
    Sabbaticals refer to unpaid time off that employees can take to rejuvenate or pursue personal goals. Unlike compassionate care leave, which is typically taken to care for a seriously ill family member, or maternity leave, which is specific to new parents, sabbaticals are more general in nature and can be used for various purposes. Similarly, vacation time is also a form of time off, but it is usually paid and used for relaxation or travel. Sabbaticals, on the other hand, are unpaid and often longer in duration, allowing employees to take an extended break from work to recharge or focus on personal interests.
