"continue to get paid for a job not done." 

Or, get fired or demoted to a job they can handle. I am sure you have seen employees who are great programmers who are promoted to Manager of Programmers. However, they have no interpersonal skills and fail as a Manager. I experienced that and moved the person back to programmer and reduced their salary increase 50%. They were much happier not having to deal with people issues and still enjoyed a salary increase. They were great in their job until they retired and returned as a contract employee.
