Question 1
Which statement best describes the role of payment elections rules in payroll runs?
Correct Answer:
They must be defined before payroll completes
Explanation:
Payment elections rules control how employees will receive their pay in a payroll run, specifying whether pay goes to direct deposits, checks, or other disbursement methods and which accounts or destinations to use. Because the payroll engine needs a valid payment destination to finalize the run, these rules must be in place before the payroll processing completes. If they aren’t defined beforehand, the system can’t route funds and the run may fail or delay. That’s why the statement that they must be defined before payroll completes is the best description. They aren’t optional, they don’t determine tax calculations, and they aren’t defined after processing.
Question 2
If a report is shared with Betty, the data she sees is determined by...
Correct Answer:
Data that Logan can access
Explanation:
Data visibility in a shared Workday report is governed by the data access of the sharing user. When Betty is given access to Logan’s report, the data she can see is limited to what Logan is allowed to access. This ensures that sensitive information remains constrained by the sharer’s permissions, even though the report is shared. It isn’t determined solely by Betty’s own permissions, nor is it simply a system-wide pre-filter.
Question 3
The Workday Community is designed as a tool for Workday development.
Correct Answer:
False
Explanation:
Workday Community is a central resource and collaboration hub for Workday users, partners, and consultants. It provides access to product documentation, release notes, training materials, forums, and support resources. It isn’t the environment where you build or customize Workday functionality; development work happens inside your Workday tenant (and, for integrations, with tools like Workday Studio outside the Community). So, describing the Community as a tool for development isn’t accurate—the Community exists to share information, guidance, and enable collaboration across the Workday ecosystem.
Question 4
Entering a termination date of 12/31/2018 means what?
Correct Answer:
This Is Their Last Day as an Employee
Explanation:
Entering a termination date in HR/payroll systems defines the employee’s final day of work. So a date of 12/31/2018 means that December 31, 2018 is their last day as an employee. This conveys the end of active employment, not necessarily retirement, and not automatically that benefits stop the moment the clock hits that date (benefits timing can depend on policy). The date simply marks the end of their active employment status.
Question 5
Which statement best describes a Pay Component Related Calculation (PCRC)?
Correct Answer:
A related calculation used in the definition of an earning or deductions
Explanation:
Pay Component Related Calculations determine the amount of an earning or deduction by tying it to another pay component. In practice, this lets you define values like a percentage of base pay or a deduction that depends on another component’s amount, rather than using a fixed formula in isolation. That’s why the correct description is that it is a related calculation used in the definition of an earning or deductions—the calculation explicitly references other pay components to compute the value. It isn’t a standalone tax formula, nor a default deduction rate, and it isn’t a payroll frequency setting. Those other options describe different aspects of payroll setup, not how a pay component’s amount is derived from another component.
