Questions and Answers

1.

An employee is created, and then a batch is initialized. The employee is not shown in the payroll manager. This could be due to:
- A.
  
  The effective date on the employee is after the last day of the pay batch.
- B.
  
  The employee is still pending.
- C.
  
  The tax information was not completed on the employee record.
- D.
  
  The schedule is missing.
Correct Answer(s)
A. The effective date on the employee is after the last day of the pay batch.

Explanation
The employee is not shown in the payroll manager because either the effective date on the employee is after the last day of the pay batch or the employee is still pending.

Rate this question:
2.

What are the two pieces of information required to move an employee from a Pending status to an Active status?
- A.
  
  Social Security Number and Tax Information.
- B.
  
  Job and Tax Information.
- C.
  
  Primary Address and Job.
- D.
  
  Job and Deductions.
Correct Answer
C. Primary Address and Job.

Explanation
To move an employee from a Pending status to an Active status, two pieces of information are required: the employee's Primary Address and Job details. These two pieces of information are necessary to ensure that the employee's contact information and employment details are accurate and up to date. The Social Security Number and Tax Information, Job and Tax Information, and Job and Deductions may be important for other purposes, but they are not specifically required to change an employee's status from Pending to Active.

3.

When creating an employee record in the Workforce, the effective date entered on the first page carries through to which of the following tabs:
- A.
  
  Personal.
- B.
  
  Employment.
- C.
  
  Jobs.
- D.
  
  Payroll Data.
Correct Answer(s)
A. Personal.
B. Employment.
C. Jobs.

Explanation
The effective date entered on the first page carries through to the Personal, Employment, and Jobs tabs in the employee record. This means that any changes made to these tabs will be effective from the entered date. The Payroll Data tab is not affected by the effective date and may have its own separate effective date for any changes made.

4.

When entering information for a new employee, all information must be completed on one tab before moving on to the next tab.
- A.
  
  True.
- B.
  
  False.
Correct Answer
B. False.

Explanation
The given statement is false. When entering information for a new employee, it is not necessary for all information to be completed on one tab before moving on to the next tab. In fact, it is common practice to have multiple tabs or sections for different categories of information, such as personal details, contact information, employment history, etc. This allows for a more organized and user-friendly interface, and also allows the user to easily navigate between different sections while entering the required information.

5.

When adding a job to a newly created employee, the position field is required.
- A.
  
  True.
- B.
  
  False.
Correct Answer
B. False.

Explanation
The statement is false because the position field is not always required when adding a job to a newly created employee. Depending on the organization's policies or the specific job being added, the position field may be optional or not necessary at all. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that the position field is always required in this scenario.

Rate this question:
6.

If an employee is required to pay FICA or Medicare tax, they must be set up on which tax type:
- A.
  
  Federal.
- B.
  
  State.
- C.
  
  Other.
- D.
  
  None of the Above.
Correct Answer
A. Federal.

Explanation
If an employee is required to pay FICA or Medicare tax, they must be set up on the Federal tax type because FICA and Medicare taxes are federal payroll taxes that are deducted from an employee's wages to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. State taxes, other taxes, or no taxes are not applicable in this scenario.

Rate this question:

- D.

To stop a direct deposit, an event must be created. Once the event is created, it can be deleted by clicking the red X. This action will effectively cancel the direct deposit.
