Question#1

A payroll employee has just entered a group of timecards for one of their 25 retail stores.
What is the BEST way to verify that the data was entered accurately?

A. Review a few employees from the batch

B. Check totals on the check register

C. Review earnings report after payroll is processed

D. Run a batch total report

Explanation:
The best way to verify payroll accuracy is to run a batch total report (Option D) because it:
Compares actual payroll totals to expected amounts
Identifies discrepancies before payroll processing
Option A (Review a few employees) is insufficient because errors in other records might be missed.
Option B (Check Register) occurs after payroll is processed.
Option C (Earnings Report) is useful but is generated after payroll is processed, making corrections harder.

B. Maintain listings of the unclaimed wages indefinitely

Maintaining wages indefinitely (B) is not compliant, and reissuing payments (C) without confirmation could lead to payroll errors.

Explanation:
Payroll professionals must stay updated on tax laws, wage regulations, and compliance requirements. Key resources include:

B (DOL C Department of Labor) → Oversees wage & hour laws (FLSA).
D (IRS C Internal Revenue Service) → Issues payroll tax regulations.

C. Verify the employee provided the correct routing and account numbers for any direct deposits.

Explanation:
Deposits should be available on payday morning, and payroll staff must act immediately if there is an issue.
Telling the employee to wait until midnight (B) is incorrect because it delays action and could lead to compliance issues.
