Advance salary

Sir,

Please tell me about advance salary. How one has to adjust.

Sir, some times our staff takes advance from salary and the same are recovered through their salary.

I have created 02 account. one is Salaries and wages and second is Advance salary.

Please tell me whether that is correct. and also suggest me how many accounting entries i have to pass.

Thanks ,

Regards,

Sushant

Dear Sushant Gaurav,

 

There are not necessory to Open two Ledger in the name of Salary A/c and Advance Salary A/c.

 

Entry of Advance Salary Paid can made in the Same Salary A/c in stead of opening a new Advance Salary A/c.

 

However you can also manage two ledger but at the end of every Month you should be to pass transfer entry from Advance Salary A/c to Employee Salary A/c.

YES YOU HAVE CREATED THE CORRECT LEDGERS

WHEN YOU WILL GIVE ADVANCE SALARY

 

ADVANCE SALARY AC -- - - - - - - - -- - DR.

             TO CASH/ BANK AC.

 

WHEN SALARY IS ADJUSTED AGAINST ADVANCE SALARY

SALARY AC - - -- - --  - - - -DR.

       TO ADVANCE SALARY AC.

     TO BANK AC

 

NOTE- ADVANCE SALARY WOULD BE UNDER L AND A

I have a small question here,

Let say I have 10 employees. E001 and E005 is taking advance for 3 months.

As per suggestion by "Future CA" how can I find which employee has advance and till whcih date ?

 

Advance paid

1. A's Advance Ac Dr       2000

           Bank Cr                 2000

Salary Due end of the month

2. Salary Dr                    5000

       A's Advance Cr        500

       Outstanding Salary CR     4500

Payment of salary

3. Outstanding Salary DR        4500

        Bank Cr                           4500

 

Is this format is true and legal?
