A line manager has hired a worker who will be paid on a weekly basis. What navigation path should the payroll user take to enter the weekly payroll details for the worker?

In Oracle Payroll Cloud, the payroll is assigned at the employee's assignment level. The "Manage Payroll Relationship" task is the primary interface for payroll users to manage all payroll-related information for a worker. This task provides a consolidated view of a worker's payroll data, including their assignments. To enter or update the specific payroll (e.g., weekly payroll), the user must navigate from the payroll relationship to the specific assignment record where the payroll details are maintained.

A. Manage Payroll Relationship > Payroll Relationship Record. The Payroll Relationship record is a grouping mechanism for assignments under a specific Payroll Statutory Unit (PSU); the actual payroll is not assigned at this high level.
B. Manage Work Relationship > Assignment record. While this path leads to the assignment, "Manage Work Relationship" is primarily an HR-focused task. The most direct and contextually appropriate path for a payroll user is through the payroll-specific tasks.
C. Manage Work Relationship > Work Relationship Record. The Work Relationship record represents the overall employment with a legal employer and is too high-level. It does not store specific payroll frequency or assignment details.
