Providing the worker with rewards for good work that extend beyond the termination of employment with the firm would give the worker an incentive to continue to work hard even though they are planning to leave soon. This would also increase the chances of the worker leaving on good terms and potentially even recommending the company to others in the future. Option A would likely lead to legal trouble and a bad reputation for the company. Option C would create a hostile work environment and potentially harm morale. Option D would not provide any real incentive for the worker to continue to work hard.
