    Payroll Accounting

    Employees are paid either a wages or a salary.

    The term payroll refers to the wages paid to a firms employees for acertain pay period.

    The pay period is usually weekly, monthly, or semi monthly.

    Records of Attendance

    There are many different ways in which the attendance of employees isrecorded. Two main methods are clock cards and time sheets.

    Clock cards

    A mechanical device on the factory floor that records the precise hours thatthe employee works for.A clock card for each employee is placed in a rack witha time recorder clock. The employee inserts his/her card into the time recorderclock on arrival at work where it is stamped with the time. A similar pattern isfollowed when the employee leaves the work place.

    Time Sheets

    A record of hours worked kept by the employee himself. Those employees whowork away from the premises of the business may be required to complete atime sheet showing the hours worked each day. Sometimes the time spenttravelling to and from work is recorded separately to actual working time

    Remuneration Methods

    There are several ways in which wages are calculated. Two main methods ofcalculating wages are time basis and piece rate basis.

    Time basis Time rate (or day rate)

    The employee is paid an agreed amount for each hour worked (often up to aset number of hours) each week. Wages are calculated by multiplying the fixedrate per hour by the number of hours worked.

    The standard rate per hour is called basic rate

    If the hours worked exceeds a per-set maximum, OVERTIME is often paid at a higher rate, say, time and

    a half, which means 1 1/2x basic rate

    This Method is appropriate if the quality of the output is more important than the

    quantity.

    Piece rate basis

    The employee is paid an agreed amount for each unit produced or each task performed. Under this

    method, wages are directly related to the quantity of work produced and this is an incentive to employees

    Differential piecework

    It offers high rates as production increases.

    Gross pay

    The total wages which an employee has earned is known as Gross Pay

    It is what an employee earns -Not what the employee receives

    This includes:

    Basic pay

    Overtime

    Bonus

    Net pay

    This is the final amount the employee is paid and receives either with a live paper check or a direct

    deposit. It is the take home pay or or what is deposited into the bank a/c. From the gross pay figure

    statutory deductions and voluntary deductions are made in order to calculate the amount of take

    home pay or Net Pay.

    Statutory deductions:

    The deductions from an employees gross pay that are required by law

    Income Tax: An employer must deduct the correct amount of income tax from the gross pay of each

    employee. This must be forwarded to the appropriate government department at regular intervals (often

    monthly).

    Social Security:

    The employer must calculate and deduct social security / national insurance contributions

    (NIC) from the gross pay of each employee. Such deductions allow employees to benefit from services

    provided by the government such as unemployment benefits, health benefits, and retirement benefits. In

    addition to the contribution by the employee, a larger contribution is also made by the employer. The

    total of these contributions must be forwarded by the employer to appropriate government department at

    regular intervals (often monthly or quarterly).

    Non-Statutory deductions

    Voluntary deductions are deductions which an employee chooses to have deducted from his/her gross

    wages.

    Voluntary deductions or non-statutory deductions include the following:

    Pay Slip

    When an employee is paid, the employer provide a pay slip which shows the gross pay and net pay and

    gives details of the various deductions

    A pay slip includes

    Payroll register

    The employer keeps these details of each employee and this is known as a payroll register.

    Book keeping entries for Payroll

    After the wages have been calculated and payroll register is completed, entries are made in the books.The simplified bookkeeping entries involve an expense account for salaries and wages and accounts for

    each of the main types of statutory and voluntary deductions.

    An employer often has to forward amounts deducted from employees wages to the appropriate

    government department or organization at monthly intervals. Until these amounts are paid, the accounts

    will have credit balances as they are liabilities of the business.

    Entry #1: To record employees withholdings and employers contribution.

    a pension scheme

    Contribution to Subscriptions to trade unions

    Subscriptions to social clubs

    Donations to charities

    Pension contributions

    An employees gross pay

    Deductions from gross pay and

    Net pay
