No Payroll with QuickBooks - how to record manually

[Marce]

We get our QBs from ABSA and, at the moment, there is no Payroll module available with such. ABSA said this is because Intuit has not released a RSA version and they do not endorse any other provider.

SO, my question is: what are the entries for recording payroll manually in QBs using a general journal?

I would also like each employee to have a 'Supplier' account so we can keep track of who got paid what and what was deducted from their salaries. We are a small business so all we have to collect/pay is PAYE and UIF.

I am getting very confused as a) my accounting is rusty and b) the (ex)bookkeeper made a right mess of the chart of accounts. She no longer works for us

I have attached a spreadsheet of what I think...but I'm not sure which accounts to use in QBs as there are various accounts in the Chart of Accounts...and the 'Payroll Liabilities - Other Current Assets' account is EMPTY...there are no transactions in there at all...

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
