Explanation

The timesheet status "Posted to GL" is triggered when the timesheet is posted to the Labor Distribution system.

This status indicates that the timesheet information has been successfully integrated into the company's financial records.

This method is suitable for situations where a specific event or occasion requires all employees to be granted leave hours simultaneously.

This implies that exempt employees have the flexibility to choose from the same pay types as non-exempt employees, allowing for consistency and ease of use in the payroll system. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

Explanation

The labor distribution will be posted in the current accounting period ending 4/30/11. This is because the unposted timesheets are dated 3/15/11, which falls within the current pay period end date of 4/15/11.

Explanation

The labor distribution will be posted in the next accounting period, which is 5/31/11. Since the current pay period end date is 4/30/11 and the unposted timesheets are dated 5/15/11, they fall within the next accounting period.
