Once you've paid your employees, you'll need to record the corresponding bank payment. This will make sure that you show your wages paid in your reports.

Whether you import transactions from a bank feed or create the bank payment manually, make sure you choose the Net Wages category.

 TIP: To make it easier for you to match with your bank statement, consider creating a separate line for each employee. 

1. From Banking, open the required bank account.
2. Choose New Entry, then select Purchase / Payment.
    NOTE: In Accounting Start, choose New Entry, then Money out.  
3. Choose Other Payment then enter the date for the payment. This should be the same as your pay date.
4. Enter the total amount paid for the pay period.
5. Create a single line for the total or create separate lines for each employee. Then enter the following details:
   • For the Ledger Account list, choose 2250 - Net Wages
   • Choose No VAT for the VAT rate
   • Enter the amount paid to the employee

If you're entering separate lines for individual employees, check that the total matches your net wages for the pay period.
