Oracle HCM Cloud: Global Human Resources 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 20

You hired a female employee on January 1, 2015. This employee got married on June 12, 2015. You received a request from the employee on July 11, 2015 to change her last name from the date of her marriage. You changed the last name of the employee as requested on the same day.
What effective start date for this new employee is displayed by the system as of August 15, 2015?

Answer options

• A. January 1, 2015
• B. June 12, 2015
• C. July 11, 2015
• D. August 15, 2015

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The effective start date displayed by the system is the date of the employee's marriage, June 12, 2015. This is because changes such as a name update typically do not alter the original start date, which remains tied to the employee's status prior to the name change. Therefore, January 1, 2015 is too early, July 11, 2015 is when the name change request was made, and August 15, 2015 is after the name change.
