Answer 1

The answer is: B) Jared should withhold a raise, and if the employee does not respond, then her employment should be terminated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Companies are not required by law to give raises, it all depends on the company´s policy.

So withholding a raise is an indirect form of punishing an employee for bad performance, as long as you can show your actions were impartial. If the employee doesn´t like the situation all she can do is quit the job.

That way the employee will know that management isn´t happy with her performance and that she should do something about it. If she continues to perform poorly at her job then she must be fired.
