Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) The payroll master file needs to be updated with new hire and termination data to ensure accurate pay calculations and employee records.

B) Changes in pay rates and discretionary withholdings also need to be updated in the payroll master file to ensure accurate pay calculations and tax withholdings.

C) Changes in time card data are typically used to calculate employee hours worked, which is then used to calculate gross pay. This information may be used to update the payroll master file, but it is not the primary purpose of the file.

Therefore, both A and B are correct and provide the necessary updates to maintain accurate payroll records.
