An Onsite Allowance element defined at Assignment level is eligible only for Business Units BU2 and BU3. How should you define element eligibility to restrict entries to BU2 and BU3?

• A. You cannot meet the requirement as you cannot create element eligibility using business unit as the eligibility criteria.
• B. Onsite Allowance element should be defined as the Payroll Relationship level element so that the element eligibility can be defined using Business Unit as the criteria.
• C. Define the element eligibility as an Open Eligibility and create an element entry only for employees with BU2 and BU3.
• D. Define multiple element eligibilities using BU2 and BU3 for Business Unit criteria.

Answer: (A)

Business Unit is tied to the payroll relationship, not to the assignment. An element defined at the Assignment level cannot use Business Unit as an eligibility criterion, so you cannot restrict entries to BU2 and BU3 using BU-based eligibility in this setup. To apply a BU-based restriction, the element should be defined at the Payroll Relationship level, where Business Unit can be used as the eligibility rule. The other options either propose changing the element’s level (which changes how the element is paid) or rely on Open Eligibility with manual entries, which isn’t a scalable BU-based solution.
