Reward too little
Undercompensate means to compensate insufficiently—to pay too little for work done or to provide inadequate recompense for harm suffered.
The settlement undercompensated victims for their losses.
In psychology, to undercompensate is to fail to offset a weakness or deficiency adequately, the opposite of overcompensate.
