The various options provided in the answer choices are different abbreviations or variations of the term "payroll register" that can be used to refer to this report.

Submit

Explanation

IR21 is prepared for the purpose of tax clearance in Singapore. Tax clearance refers to the process of ensuring that an individual or company has paid all their taxes and settled any outstanding tax liabilities before leaving the country or ceasing operations. This is important to ensure compliance with tax regulations and prevent any potential tax evasion or unpaid taxes. The IR21 form is used to notify the tax authorities of an individual or company's intention to leave Singapore and to request for tax clearance.

Submit
82. Before printing or generating payroll reports in the Paysonnel CE, you need to ensure that you have selected the correct ___________________ used for that particular account or client.

Explanation

Before printing or generating payroll reports in the Paysonnel CE, it is important to select the correct system calendar. The system calendar is used to determine the dates and time periods for payroll calculations and reporting. By selecting the appropriate system calendar for the specific account or client, accurate and timely payroll reports can be generated.

Submit
83. This report is generated to check on the recurring (fixed) allowance/deduction in the current month or period.

Explanation

The correct answer is "allowance/deduction variance,allow/ deduction variance,AD variance,allowance deduction variance,allowance/ deduction variance." These terms all refer to the same concept, which is the difference or discrepancy between the expected or budgeted amount for an allowance or deduction and the actual amount recorded in the current month or period. The report is generated to identify and analyze these variances, allowing for better understanding and management of the recurring allowances and deductions.

Submit
84. In the employee's Payment Details (in the Payroll Module), this field will determine the daily wage and hourly rate of a monthly paid employee.

Explanation

The correct answer options are all referring to the "working days" field in the employee's Payment Details in the Payroll Module. This field is used to determine the daily wage and hourly rate of a monthly paid employee.

Submit
85. Which of the following allowances can be included in an NSman's Make-Up Pay Claim? Choose the most appropriate answer.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Allowance received for at least 4 months out of 6 months preceding NS training and allowances that are included in the NSman's employment contract." This answer is the most appropriate because it includes both fixed and variable allowances that have been received for a specific duration of time, as well as allowances that are specifically stated in the NSman's employment contract. This ensures that the NSman is eligible to claim for allowances that are regular and agreed upon by the employer.

Submit
86. What must be wrong when the Monthly Salary field is disabled in the Payment details
(in the Paysonnel CE) of a monthly rated employee?

Explanation

The reason the Monthly Salary field is disabled in the Payment details is because the employment type is not set to Monthly. This means that the employee is not classified as a monthly rated employee, and therefore, the option to enter a monthly salary is not available.

Submit
87. What are these fields in the Career History that when created wrongly, the record should be created again or deleted?

Explanation

Period and Reason are the fields in the Career History that, when created wrongly, the record should be created again or deleted. These fields are crucial for maintaining accurate and comprehensive career history records. If the period or reason is entered incorrectly, it can lead to misleading information and affect the overall integrity of the career history data. Therefore, it is important to ensure that these fields are accurately filled out to maintain the reliability and usefulness of the career history records.

Submit
88. A __________ is created and attached to any report or listing to refine or filter its output, allowing you to retrieve only the information you require.

Explanation

A query is a tool that allows you to refine or filter the output of a report or listing, enabling you to retrieve only the specific information you need. By creating and attaching a query to the report or listing, you can customize the results to match your requirements, making it easier to analyze and work with the data. The use of both "query" and "Query" as the correct answer suggests that the term can be written in lowercase or uppercase, indicating that it is not case-sensitive in this context.

Submit
89. It is a function in the Utilities Module that allows you to design, modify and generate one-off reports according to your desired format.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Data Extraction, data extraction, Data extraction, data Extraction".

The answer includes the correct capitalization and spelling variations of the term "data extraction," indicating a clear understanding of the concept.

Submit
91. An employee's Ordinary Wage will not affect the computation of his Additional Wage Ceiling.

Explanation

The statement is false because an employee's Ordinary Wage does affect the computation of his Additional Wage Ceiling. The Additional Wage Ceiling is a limit set by the government on the amount of additional wages (such as bonuses, commissions, etc.) that are subject to certain CPF contributions. The Ordinary Wage is included in the computation of the Additional Wage Ceiling, so if the employee's Ordinary Wage is high, it can reduce the amount of additional wages that are subject to CPF contributions.

Submit
92. An option found in the modules of the Paysonnel CE that allows one to track the doer of a particular entry.

Explanation

The correct answer is "audit trail". An audit trail is a feature in the Paysonnel CE modules that enables tracking of the individual responsible for a specific entry. It helps in maintaining accountability and transparency by recording and documenting the actions taken within the system. The use of consistent capitalization in the answer options suggests that the correct term is "audit trail".

Submit

Explanation

option access pertains to the options in the Paysonnel CE (e.g., employee details) and security group determines who the user can view in the system.

Submit
94. Ideally, what must be rearranged to make this Payroll Process diagram correct?


Explanation

The correct answer is "F should come before D then followed by E". This is because in a correct payroll process, F, which represents the calculation of deductions, should be performed before D, which represents the calculation of gross pay. Once deductions are calculated, the net pay (E) can be determined accurately. Therefore, F should come before D, followed by E, to ensure an accurate payroll process.

Submit
95. Calculate for the No Pay Leave (NPL) of an employee who has incurred 3 absences on the month of August 2010 whose monthly salary is 4650.

Submit
97. Employees who do not have a corporate email updated in their individual records in the system will not be able to view their payslips online.

Explanation

Employees added to the system are able to view their record online as long as they have their log-in details. These log-in details are issued to the employee through a password slip which is generated by the system. The company may have an option to issue this password slip to their employees via email (which requires a corporate email) or via a printed copy (which does not require a corporate email to be updated in the system).

Submit
98. Password for every employee added to the system should have an expiry period. 

Explanation

The statement is false because not every employee added to the system needs to have a password with an expiry period. Depending on the organization's security policies and requirements, certain employees may be exempt from having password expirations, such as high-level executives or individuals with specific roles that do not require regular password changes. Therefore, it is not necessary for every employee to have an expiry period for their password.

Submit
99. If the amount withheld is insufficient for tax payment, Zapper will do the following except:

Explanation

Zapper will take the necessary steps to ensure that the tax payment is made to the Inland Revenue Department. This includes giving the payment to IRAS along with the payment advice and informing the client of any shortfall amount. However, Zapper will not inform the employee to settle the payment directly to the Inland Revenue Department.

Submit
100. A report that is used to show a comparison between the salary amounts of the current and the previous month.

Explanation

The term "basic salary variance" refers to a report that compares the salary amounts of the current month with the previous month. This report helps to analyze any changes or differences in the basic salary between the two periods. By comparing the salaries, organizations can identify any variations or discrepancies that may have occurred, allowing them to make informed decisions or take necessary actions based on the findings.
