In my opinion you can treat it as wages.

 

Accounting Entries for advance wage :

1)   Advance Wage A/c     Dr  (Current asset)

           To Bank A/c

(Being advance wage paid to xxxxxx (person name) )

2) If you want to create Provision at due date of payment:

Wages A/c        Dr (Indirect expenses)

   To Wage Payable A/c (provision)

(Being Wages payable on xxxxxx(month ending date) )

3) When Payment of wages made:

        Wage payable A/c       Dr

                To Bank A/c

                To Advance Wage A/c

(Being Wages Paid and advance amount of wages adjusted)

when u pay in advance...

Advance wages a/c....dr 

to bank/cash 

 

when it becomes due (when he does the work and the wage is "earned")

Wages a/c....dr

to advance wages.
