Oracle Payroll Cloud 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 11

When defining your customers monthly payroll, they ask you to set the cut-off date for their monthly payroll to five days before the period end date.
What is the impact of the cut-off date on payroll processing?

Answer options

• A. The cut-off date triggers the automatic submission of the payroll calculation
• B. The cut-off date is for informational purposes only.
• C. The application restricts HR users from entering data after the payroll cut-off date.
• D. The application restricts Payroll users from entering data after the payroll cut-off date.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the cut-off date is specifically designed to restrict Payroll users from making changes after it passes, ensuring that calculations can proceed without last-minute adjustments. Answer A is incorrect because the cut-off date does not trigger submissions; answer B is wrong as it implies no real effect; and answer C mistakenly restricts HR users instead of Payroll users.
