In Oracle Payroll Cloud, the Owner Type for a payroll task determines who can view or manage the task and its output. When a team of payroll clerks needs to view the output of a task submitted by another user, the task should be assigned to a Group (Option A). This allows all members of the defined group (e.g., a payroll clerk team) to access the task output, ensuring collaborative visibility. Option B ("Active Users") is not a valid owner type for this purpose, as it does not specify a team. Option C ("All") would grant access to all users, which exceeds the requirement of limiting visibility to a specific team. Option D ("User") restricts ownership to a single individual, preventing team access. Configuring the task with a Group owner type aligns with Oracle's security and access control framework for payroll tasks.

In Oracle Payroll Cloud, to customize rate conversions (e.g., weekly to annual), you can define a Periodicity Conversion Rule and select it during element creation (Option D). This feature allows you to specify custom conversion factors (e.g., multiplying a weekly rate by 52 for an annual rate) and apply them to the element's rate calculations. Option A (manual calculation) is inefficient and error-prone. Option B (indirect element with formula) is a workaround but not the intended method for periodicity conversion. Option C is incorrect, as Oracle explicitly supports custom conversion rules. Documentation confirms this functionality within element setup.
