In Workforce, the Merit Assumptions option lets administrators enter parameters that control merit processing, including 1) Hire Cut-Off Date—employees hired after this date are ineligible for merit—and 2) Merit Month—the month in which merit increases begin. Enabling Merit Assumptions therefore satisfies both requirements stated in the scenario.

A. Workforce Assumptions covers generic items such as default working hours, not hire cut-off or merit timing.

C. Merit Rates stores percentage or amount rates but does not define eligibility dates or start month.

D. Merit Month is a single assumption value visible only after Merit Assumptions is enabled; it is not itself an enable-option.
