Help please

So, yes, and what do you want to know about it. She starts on the 20th, that is tomorrow. When she works a full month she gets her pay. Why is she being paid once a month ? Normal is once a week, so divide that by four. Is she having anything deducted from her pay, state taxes, employment insurance, etc. If you are hiring people you had better undersand the pay scale, deductions, etc.

Where are you from ?

Am trying to do a journal entry, under what acc names would I put it?

Why didn't you say that originally. This website will explain, I hope:

Why is she being paid once a month ? Normal is once a week, so divide that by four.

First, it's not true that "normal" is once a week. I've been paid all sorts of different ways. I have two jobs and both pay semi-monthly. I've also been paid once a month and once a week and bi-weekly. This might depend on location, but we don't know where she's located.

Second, you cannot take a monthly pay scale and divide by 4. There's never been 28 days in a month except for February, so that mathematically just doesn't work.

Third, it's the homework help forum so it may not matter at all. It just is what the problem says it is. On the other hand, I'm a bit suspicious about it actually being homework.

The link tickle gave you does reasonably explain the entries, but when I tried the link it didn't work, so I'm going to try again:

There's more to payroll than just making the entries. Are you comfortable with figuring out the tax amounts, etc. Is this actually homework? Do you just need entries for the payroll itself or have to do adjusting entries? I just find it a bit odd for a homework problem to specify someone getting paid on the 20th of each month, and starting immediately.

Something a little odd about the whole thing for being under homework help.
