    Your wage Expense will be for 3 days, Mon, Tue, and Wed, for the end of the month.

    The journal entry will be
    Debit wage Expense for the amount for 3 days wages
    Credit Wages Payable for the amount

    When wages are paid the journal entry will be:
    Debit Wages Payable for the 3 days of wages owed
    Debit Wage Expense for 2 days of wages
    Credit Cash for 5 days of wages
