Payroll Journal
Payroll Settings: Payroll journal Employer NIC postings allow incorrect selection of the net wages liability account. This makes the balance on net wages meaningless and therefore useless. Employer NIC and Employer's Allowance should always be posted to PAYE or NIC liabilities accounts.
The solution is to ensure that the drop-down does not offer net wages or any other inappropriate accounts.
