Under the accrual method of accounting, this account reports the amount of wages that the warehouse employees have earned during the accounting period indicated in the heading of the income statement. Because wages are usually associated with hourly-paid employees, the expense will likely appear on the income statement prior to the date that the wages are paid. To learn more, see Explanation of Payroll Accounting.

"I came across AccountingCoach some years ago and since then it has been my go-to solution for all and any problems or issues that arise in my day-to-day work. Whenever I come across a situation I have not faced before I sign in, read up on the related data, of which there is plenty, and solve another problem. I think of AccountingCoach as my personal library where I can look up information on any aspect of my business. My clients are always impressed with the results I provide. Thank you AccountingCoach." - Joseph C.
