Lump-sum compensation

Lump-sum compensation

• A. Lump-sum compensation
• B. Local nationals
• C. Licensing
• D. Loan

Answer: (A)

Lump-sum compensation is a single, fixed amount given to cover specified expenses, often relocation or expatriate-related costs, rather than ongoing salary or itemized reimbursement. In practice, it provides the employee with flexibility to allocate the funds as they see fit, and any unused portion typically stays with the employee. This is why the term itself best fits the concept being tested. The other options describe different ideas (local nationals as host-country employees, licensing as a regulatory requirement, and a loan as borrowed money) and do not define this one-time payment method.
