A change to the pension remuneration amount has been made mid-mouth on 23 October. Please explain how the system will prorate the payroll results for October?
- A.
Pension in Segment 1 Number of actual days = 22 monthly amount / 30 * 22 Pension in Segment 2 number of actual days in month - number of days under prior segment = 8 Mounthly amount/30 * 8

Pension in Segment 1 Number of working days = 18 mounthly amount / 21.75 * 18 Pension in Segment 2 21.75 - number of days under prior segment = 3.75 Mounthly amount/21.75 * 3.75.
- C.
Pension in Segment 1 Number of working days = 18 monthly amount / 24 (Number of working days in month) * 18 Pension in Segment 2 24 - number of days under prior segment = 6 Mounthly amount/24 * 6.
Correct Answer
B. Pension in Segment 1 Number of working days = 18 mounthly amount / 21.75 * 18 Pension in Segment 2 21.75 - number of days under prior segment = 3.75 Mounthly amount/21.75 * 3.75.Explanation
The system will prorate the payroll results for October by calculating the pension amount for each segment based on the number of working days or actual days in that segment. In Segment 1, the pension amount is calculated by dividing the monthly amount by 21.75 (the number of working days in the month) and then multiplying it by 18 (the number of working days in Segment 1). In Segment 2, the pension amount is calculated by subtracting the number of days under the prior segment from 21.75 and then multiplying it by the monthly amount divided by 21.75.Rate this question:
