When you paid excess salary of 2,227 to the employee, there will be debit balance in his/her account.
1) Advance Salary A/c............Dr. 2,227
To Employee A/c..................................................2,227
2) Salary A/c...............Dr. 20,058
To P/F.............................................................780
To P/Tax..........................................................200
To Advance Salary........................................2,227
To Employee A/c........................................16,851
3) Employee A/c.............................Dr 16,851
To Cash/Bank............................................................16,851
If you don't pass the first entry and credit employees account with 19,078 (20,058-780-200), then the net balance of the account will automatically be adjusted and balance outstanding will be shown as 16,851. But it will be better to pass the first entry, as it will give you more clarity later on.
