Since its inception, Fresh Munchables has given its various managers free reign to manage the total rewards of their respective departments. Recently, however, the HR manager has received complaints from employees in multiple departments complaining that they are not being paid equally.

What kind of total rewards approach has Fresh Munchables likely taken that has led to this problem?

• A broad approach, because the company gave managers free reign over a broad range of rewards
• A decentralized approach, because rewards are determined by immediate supervisors
• A hybrid approach, because supervisors determined the rewards but the rewards were centralized in each department
• A centralized approach, because the same problems are faced by multiple departments
