    I am having difficulty in this problem:

    Alan has a salary of 4000 USD per month. He took 10,000 USD Advance from company and agreed on deduction of 1000 USD per month from his salary.

    1) What will be the entry when issuing Advance to Alan ?

    2) What will be the entry when salary is paid to Alan ?

    I believe the account on the company's books should be due FROM employee.
