Ha, as long as the payroll is actually paying people on time, I don't care what scenarios you test! But Option B does look like the sensible choice here.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option D with payroll summary, employment regulations, and absence info approved by HR seems the most comprehensive approach. But I could be wrong, I'm no payroll expert!

But don't you think taking new employees into the payroll after a business acquisition is a key indicator of performance?

I'm leaning towards Option C. Taking on new employees, employment regulations, and the introduction of those regulations seem like the key scenarios to evaluate.
