Which action should you take to retry a payroll run after corrections for errored workers are in place?

• A. Process Payroll
• B. Mark erred workers for retry and retry the payroll
• C. Rollback the payroll run and reprocess
• D. Manually update the payroll run status for each worker from error to complete

Answer: (B)

When some workers have errors in a payroll run, the correct approach is to mark those errored workers for retry and then retry the payroll. This uses the system’s targeted retry capability to reprocess only the workers whose data you’ve corrected, while leaving the successful calculations intact. It’s efficient, preserves proper audit trails, and avoids touching workers who already processed correctly.

Other options are less appropriate: re-running the payroll without targeting would attempt to reprocess everyone, which can cause duplicates or new errors; rolling back the entire payroll is too drastic for a partial fix; manually changing statuses for each worker bypasses the system’s controls and isn’t a supported or safe method.
