Which method would best allow the calculation of updated compensation data after changing benefits?

The best method for calculating updated compensation data after changing benefits is adjusting benefits and running the business rule. This approach directly addresses the need to reflect changes in benefits on the overall compensation package. By adjusting the benefits within the system, you ensure that the modifications are accurately captured and integrated into the calculations for compensation updates.

By running the business rule after these adjustments, the system processes these changes and recalculates the affected compensation data accordingly. Business rules are designed to automate and enforce the logic surrounding compensation calculations, thus ensuring that the impact of benefit modifications is correctly reflected in the salary and overall compensation figures.

In contrast, reassigning properties and running a map or overriding loaded defaults may involve additional steps that do not directly pertain to recalculating compensation based on benefit changes, and reloading the file focuses more on data retrieval rather than calculation logic that accounts for benefit adjustments. Each of these alternatives lacks the direct alignment with the necessary calculations performed after a benefits change.
