Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

A payroll business continuity plan (BCP) is designed to ensure payroll processes continue during a disruption. Critical tasks include validating system access, creating ACH files, and printing paychecks. Adding a new cost center is NOT critical to issuing payroll, as it primarily affects financial reporting rather than payment processing. Payroll.org recommends focusing on system access, banking functions, and ensuring payroll runs smoothly.

I think validating system access is crucial, but I wonder if adding a new cost center could be the answer since it seems less related to immediate payments.

I remember we discussed the importance of validating system access in our last class, but I'm not sure if it's the least critical task here.
