Under the accrual method of accounting, this account reports the amount of wages that the delivery 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 prior to the date that the wages are paid.

"I am the owner of a small bookkeeping/tax firm, and stumbled across AccountingCoach several years ago. I immediately recognized its value and became a PRO user. I must say, I find this software is excellent for learning and great for when you need a refresher on a specific accounting topic. The explanations are clear and concise. I also like that you can choose the learning method that works best for you—the site offers video training, flashcards, PDF/cheat sheets, and quick tests. Additionally, at the PRO level, it offers 10 accounting and bookkeeping certificates. I highly recommend AccountingCoach PRO to anyone in the field as a valuable resource, whether you are just starting or are a seasoned professional." - Donna R.
