    Accounting general ledger
    My employee has his pay check garnished for child support and I pay the bill for him to the child support unit.
    What do I put the garnishment under and the payment under so it comes out in my general ledger. Do I use expense, income, lialibity etc..

    I am new to accounting and I don't now how to put the garnishment in to my system to make it balance. The employee has the money taken from his pay every week. It stays in the business checking account. And then the business pays the money for him.

    Chart of accounts: when he has it removed is it an asset, lilability, expense, income etc...


    And when the business pays it it is accounts payable?
