You have to get the daily rate of payroll first. So take your $300 per week divided by the number of days in the workweek. Since the end of the year is on a Monday you have your one day payroll amount.

Your adjusting entry will be:
Debit Salaries Expense for the amount calculated above
Credit Salaries Payable for the amount calculated above
