Accounting for Payroll
- Wages Expense Account - This shows the total expense to the business. This is the expense account shown on the Trial Balance.
- The Liability Accounts - The HMRC Liability account (PAYE and NIC) and other accounts for other liabilities such as pensions.
- Wages Control Account - One side of each double entry is put through the control account. This account is cleared to 0 each payroll run so there should NEVER be a bal b/d to take to the Trial Balance.

The Banking System
Cheques
- Drawer - The person writing the cheque.
- Drawee - The bank of the drawer.
- Payee - The person to whom the payment is being made.
The Clearing System - This is the how cheques are processed by banks and building societies. This process takes 3 working days.
Banker's Drafts
Also referred to as a bank cheque, this is a cheque issued by a bank and not an individual. Funds are transferred from the individual's account to the bank who issue the cheque to the payee.
Often used for large purchases so that the payee does not need to wait for the cheque to clear and it also removes the risk of the cheque bouncing.
Building Society Cheques
Similar to a banker's draft but a building society cheque can be stopped by the drawer to prevent the payment.
-
Written by the building society, knowing the cash is available.
Standing Orders
A customer's instruction to their bank to pay a fixed amount at regular intervals to a named party. E.g. Rent.
Direct Debits
Allows authorized recipients to claim payments from a customers bank account. These payments are covered by the direct debit guarantee to protect the customer. Can be variable in amount and frequency.
