In a Midwestern state prone to frequent and severe snowstorms, the head of the Department of Transportation (DOT) has introduced a proposal to provide an incentive to snowplow operators linked to the number of miles shown on the odometer during each shift. The incentive plan, scheduled on a trial basis for the winter season of 2019–2020, is intended to motivate the snowplow operators to cover more ground and to clean the roads quicker. One student will role-play a compensation consultant to advise the DOT on the proposal; another student will role- play the position of the head of the DOT. The role-play should last 10 to 15 minutes, after which the instructor will moderate an open class discussion on the issue.
