The accounting department clerk receives the
payroll register, reviews it for accuracy, and uses
the department computer to record the transaction
by posting to subsidiary and general ledger accounts,
including wages expense, cash, and various
withholding accounts. The clerk then prints the
hard-copy checks, which are written on the general
cash account. The clerk signs the paychecks and
sends them to the foremen, who distribute them to
the employees. Finally, the clerk files the payroll
register in the department.
