Hi bookkeeper_1,
You may need to set up a different pay category if you wanted to assign wages expense to a different account. Once you've added a Pay Category in Payroll Settings, you can assign it to your preferred expense account. Here's how:
- Go to Employees tab and select Payroll Settings.
- Select Chart of Accounts.
- Select Pay Categories.
- On the pay category created, select Not specified.
- Select an Expense Account you would like to allocate it to.
- Then, select Save.
You can also, check on this article for your reference: Can I split wages into separate accounts by employee?
