After a redeployment, which action should be taken to ensure pay accuracy?

• A. Do nothing until next payroll
• B. Update entitlements for new location and recalculate pay
• C. Recalculate pay only, without updating entitlements
• D. Update entitlements to reflect new location, dependency, and any location-based allowances; recalculate pay

Answer: (D)

Redeployments change where you live, who depends on you, and which location-based allowances apply, so pay accuracy depends on updating entitlements and applying those changes through a new calculation. Updating entitlements to reflect the new location, any dependent status, and relevant location-based allowances ensures the system knows what you qualify for. Then recalculating pay uses those updated entitlements to produce the correct pay amount, with the right deductions and benefits applied. If you only update entitlements, the current pay may still be based on old values until a new calculation runs. If you only recalculate without updating entitlements, the calculation will use outdated entitlements. Doing both is essential to reflect the redeployment accurately and avoid under- or overpayment.
