Which off-cycle payment type requires Workday to calculate all scheduled deductions?

• A. Replacement
• B. Bonus
• C. Advance
• D. Deductions Only

Answer: (A)

When you issue an off-cycle payment that is a replacement, Workday reprocesses the payout as if it were a new payroll event to correct an earlier payment. That means it recalculates the entire pay, applying all scheduled deductions from scratch—taxes, benefit deductions, retirement contributions, garnishments, and any other withholdings—to ensure the corrected amount is accurate and compliant. Other off-cycle types serve different purposes: a bonus is extra earnings with its own withholding considerations but isn’t a full re-run of all deductions; an advance is a cash draw with its own repayment arrangement and doesn’t trigger a complete re-calc of every deduction; deductions-only adjustments modify only the deductions portion. Therefore, the replacement option is the one that requires calculating all scheduled deductions.
