Repaying an employee advance with a personal check

I have an employee advance that the employee repaid with a personal check instead of having the amount deducted from his paychecks. He was paid the advance as a vendor, not through payroll. How do I account for the repayment?

Hello ApexBoss!


Thank you for the reply. Let me help you in recording the cash advance repayment.


You can simply create a deposit. Then, make sure to select the same account you used to give the advance. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Banking menu and select Make Deposits.
  2. Select the employee in the Received From drop-down and the account you used in the From Account drop-down.
  3. Enter the other details needed such as AmountDeposit To account, and Date.
  4. Tap Save & Close.

Thank you.

Yes I have reviewed those steps, I do not see an option for when the employee gives us a personal check to pay back the amount. I am only seeing how to deduct from their paychecks.

I may be overthinking this process, seems it should be fairly simple to point the deposit of the employees personal check towards the advance, but I am drawing a blank on how to do that.
