AA-7-Each Employee Salary Account or Combine Account

Hi Respected Members,

please educate me do we have to pass each employee's payroll journal entry and have to maintain each employee account or we can pass journal entry for combine payroll amount of employee ?

If a combine journal entry will pass and combine payroll ledger will maintain, how we will maintain each employee payroll account?

Thanks in Advance.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the best practice for recording employee payroll entries. It questions whether each employee's salary should have a separate journal entry and account, or if a combined entry for the total payroll is acceptable. The consensus leans towards using a combined entry for simplicity and privacy, with detailed employee records maintained separately by HR.

You need to pass a combined salary as the journal entry. this will help maintain the secrecy of the employees and also avoid complication while passing journal entry.

the salary register or payroll details will be separately maintained by the HR department to arrive at the each employee details
