When a customer runs a payroll, actions are created for all workers on which employment record?

• A. Payroll Relationship only
• B. Assignment, Work Relationship
• C. Assignment only
• D. Assignment, Payroll Relationship

Answer: (A)

Payroll processing relies on the payroll relationship. In Oracle Payroll Cloud, the payroll relationship is the link between a person and a specific payroll, carrying the eligibility and the earning, tax, and benefit rules used to compute pay. When you run a payroll, the system creates payroll actions for every worker who has a valid payroll relationship for that payroll. Other employment records like an assignment or a work relationship exist in the HR data model, but they are not the basis for generating payroll actions. A worker may have multiple assignments or work relationships, yet payroll processing is driven by the payroll relationship, which is the authoritative record for payroll. If someone doesn’t have a payroll relationship configured for the payroll, they won’t receive payroll actions.
