certified regardless of whether the work they are doing requires all or just a few of
those particular skills.

involve a broadening of skills in terms of the range of tasks - vertical skills, which
involve acquiring skills of a higher level - depth skills, which involve a high level
of skills in specialised areas relating to the same job.

all of their monetary compensation is related to how their performance is assessed
relative to stated criteria. The criteria for performance-related pay scheme may be
based on individual, group or organizational performance, or on a mixture of them.

performance appraisal system - individual training to increase job knowledge &
skills and - the individual should have a large measure of control over his/her own
