Which of the following is NOT listed as a prohibited general business practice?

• A. Inducing employees to accept less compensation
• B. Refusal to comply with known and legally indisputable compensation obligation
• C. Failing to provide a safety program
• D. Discharging compensation obligations in a dishonest manner

Answer: (C)

In this area, the focus is on how compensation obligations are handled and how unethical or fraudulent behavior around pay is prohibited. Inducing employees to accept less compensation, refusing to comply with a known and legally enforceable compensation obligation, and discharging compensation obligations in a dishonest manner are all examples of prohibited general business practices because they undermine fair pay and honesty in payroll dealings.

Failing to provide a safety program, while it can be a serious regulatory issue under safety and health laws, is not listed as a prohibited general business practice in this context. Safety program requirements fall under occupational safety regulations rather than the general business-practice prohibitions related to compensation. So the item that is not listed is the lack of a safety program.
