What are two specific types of pay accumulations that you specified in your regular run?

• A. Taxable and Non-Taxable
• B. Gross and Net
• C. Overtime and Bonus
• D. Gross and Tax

Answer: (B)

In a pay run, pay accumulations are the totals the system sums to capture the overall payout. The two most relevant totals to specify are gross pay and net pay. Gross pay is the total earnings before any deductions—this includes regular wages, overtime, bonuses, and other pay items. Net pay is what remains after all withholdings and deductions are subtracted from the gross amount, so it’s the take-home pay the employee receives. These two figures together give a clear picture of both what was earned and what was actually paid out. Other options relate to how earnings are taxed or the types of earnings themselves, but they don’t represent the fundamental totals you typically track in a regular run.
