To gain employee support for the implementation of a performance-base pay plan, the implementing organization can:

A) make sure the plan is understood, and bonuses are easy to calculate
B) provide methods for employees to lodge an appeal if they feel they were treated unfairly
C) let the employees have a hand in establishing and administering the plan
D) gain the employees' trust and make them believe they have job security
E) do all of the above

All of the above options are important for gaining employee support for the implementation of a performance-based pay plan. Employees need to fully understand the plan and how their bonuses will be calculated. Providing a grievance process will help alleviate concerns about fairness. Letting employees be involved in the creation and administration of the plan will give them a sense of ownership and commitment. Finally, building trust and job security with employees is critical to ensuring their support for the plan.
