Wage deduction for purchases made from the business

I have an employee who has a sum deducted from his pay each week to pay off tools he has purchased through/from the business. The purchases have been invoiced to the employee as a customer. How can I set this up in some kind of journal or ledger so I can see at a glance when he has accrued "spending" money or when he has a balance outstanding?

Hi Jo. Where is the pay deduction amount sitting when it is deducted from his pay - in some kind of Liability Account? If this is the case, you could do a journal which clears that Liability Account with the other side of the transaction being to Accounts Receivable - you would need to enter the employees Accounts Receivable Customer:Job Name in the column titled Name.

I like to use a "Contra Cash" bank a/c. Point the Payroll Item to the Contra Cash, then "receive" the equivalent amount against his Invoice into Contra Cash. You should be able to see matching Dr & Cr.

Hi John
There are actually two deductions - there is one that is deducted from his gross pay and this portion goes to a payroll liability account; the other appears to be set up as a deduction from his net pay and is allocated to an income account.
I am currently doing a journal as you suggest to clear the liability account against the accounts receivable but because of the other part of the deduction (that goes to the income account - purchases) my balance is not accurate.
Can you suggest a better way of getting around this?
Cheers
Jo

Good idea Kevin. I use a similar "Bank" account called Internal Transfers, in a similar manner for a range of other transactions, which makes life a lot easier.

Jo. This sounds strange and complicated. Give me a ring on 0428 695454 as it is likely to be a lot easier to discuss options.
