responsibility allowance


Explanation:
Looking at the Portuguese sources, which are mostly job ads. The positions that attract a complemento de função seems to involve some level of management/leadership responsibility, e.g. supervisor, team leader, coordinator.

Responsibility allowance: a payment made to somebody who has special responsibilities"
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/respons...

"Responsibility allowance (Support Staff)
This scheme requires authorisation by the Reward Team
Payments to university support staff for permanent additional duties
University support staff who are required to undertake duties which demand a greater degree of skill and/or responsibility than their substantive grade, for a defined portion of their contractual hours, are eligible for a responsibility allowance."

complemento de função
performance differential


Explanation:
I understand "complemento" as a pay differential for the job performed.

"The performance differential definitely varies based on the job. The performance differential percentage between top and weak employees in 'easy-to-learn routine jobs' will be much smaller than in jobs that require innovation, creativity, and continuous adaptation to the new technologies and business challenges." - https://books.google.com/books?id=wfwlDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA140&lpg=...

No exemplo acima, é evidente que estamos falando de funções diferentes (i.e. "easy-to-learn routine jobs" e "jobs that require innovation, creativity etc.").

Note que o termo "performance" está associado à função desempenhada.

performance: the action or process of carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function. - https://quizlet.com/157623750/organizational-management-flas...

disagree  ulissescarvalho: Interpretação equivocada. Este pagamento não necessariamente depende do desempenho, como sua proposta de tradução dá a entender. Tradução perigosamente equivocada, em minha opinião.

  -> A sua intervenção é totalmente equivocada. O próprio texto citado dá a entender que são funções diferentes ("easy-to-learn routine jobs" e "jobs that require innovation, creativity etc." Veja nota adicional.
