True or False: You cannot delete payroll input once you have run pay calculation.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It depends on user role
• D. Only if payroll is locked

Answer: (B)

In payroll systems, what matters is the status of the payroll run, not a fixed rule about never deleting after calculation. If the payroll period is still in an editable state (not posted or locked), you can remove or adjust payroll input and re-run the calculation with the corrected values. Once the run is posted or locked, deletions aren’t allowed and you’d typically need to reverse or void the run instead. So the statement isn’t universally true; there are scenarios where you can delete payroll input after the calculation if the run hasn’t been finalized.
