Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the correct journal entries for recording employee salaries. Initially, salary expense is debited to the salary account, and a liability is created by crediting the salary payable account. When the salary is actually paid, the salary payable account is debited, and either the cash or bank account is credited to settle the liability.
