You have run the payroll calculation and several workers have an error status. What action should you take to remove the payroll calculation results for all workers?

• A. Delete Records
• B. Rollback
• C. Retry
• D. Mark for Retry

Answer: (B)

Rolling back a payroll run reverses the entire calculation, returning the system to its pre-calculation state for all workers in that run. This clears the generated pay results and statuses so you can fix the errors and reprocess cleanly. It preserves data integrity and auditability while providing a fresh slate for everyone in that period.

Deleting records would remove data without properly undoing the calculated results, which can lead to inconsistent history. A retry attempts to re-run the calculation without clearing existing results, so it won’t remove the current errors. Marking for retry only flags items for another pass and doesn’t remove the existing results either. Rolling back is the correct approach to remove the calculation results for all workers and start over.
