Refer to the following scenario to answer the question below. You are entering worked time for Amanda Baker, who is an employee in California. You discover that her daily overtime, daily double time, and weekly overtime calculations are not processing, even though they are configured in the tenant. Once you determine the issue and fix the problem, what is the final action you must take to confirm that the configuration is successful?
Answer options
A: Initiate a job change for the period that is being tested.
B: Run a pay calculation for the period that is being tested.
C: Initiate a compensation change for the period that is being tested.
D: Run time tracking calculations on the period that is being tested. Correct answer
Correct Answer:
D. Run time tracking calculations on the period that is being tested.
Explanation

After configuring or modifying time calculation rules, such as overtime, the changes must be applied to the employee's entered time. The "Run Time Calculation" task is the specific Workday process designed to evaluate all time blocks for a given period against the configured calculation rules. This action processes the raw time entries and generates the calculated time (e.g., overtime, double time) based on the new logic. It is the direct and standard method to validate that the configuration fix works as expected before the data is sent to payroll.

Why Incorrect

A. A job change is an unrelated HCM event. While it might trigger a recalculation, it is not the correct or direct procedure for testing a time calculation fix.
B. Running a pay calculation is a downstream step that uses the output of time calculations. It does not trigger the time calculation process itself.
C. A compensation change is an HCM event that is irrelevant to testing the logic of how worked hours are processed by time tracking rules.
