C)Competency-based pay is a type of skill-based pay plan for professional and managerial employees.The disappearance of the traditional job provides the primary rationale for this change.If managers at PetFair have variable and unstable work assignments,with roles that cannot be assigned a valid pay rate in traditional job evaluation plans,then a competency-based pay system is appropriate.
