An employer with a weekly pay cycle must issue an electronic Record of Employment within how many calendar days after the end of the pay cycle?

• A. 7 calendar days after the end of the pay cycle
• B. 5 calendar days after the end of the pay cycle
• C. 3 calendar days after the end of the pay cycle
• D. 10 calendar days after the end of the pay cycle

Answer: (B)

The key rule here is the deadline for issuing a Record of Employment after an interruption of earnings. For employees paid on a weekly basis, the ROE must be filed electronically within five calendar days after the end of the pay period in which the interruption occurred. This timing is counted in calendar days, not business days, so if a weekly period ends on a Friday, you have until the following Wednesday to submit the ROE. The five-day window is the standard requirement; options that imply 7, 3, or 10 days would not meet the regulation.
