Telpay clearing account

SOLVED

When we run payroll the cheque’s for the employees are paid from a clearing account. My question is when we are making a payment for payroll remittance what are the entries I need to do and how. Please someone help as I  am having a hard time understanding how the clearing account works and how I can get it to zero balance. Thank you I’m advance would appreciate all the help

    Hi shabeenall: I have not used a Telpay clearing account but I suspect all clearing accounts work the same way. When you are processing Payroll be sure that the bank account to use is the Telpay clearing account. Take a total of all your entries on the Telpay file being sent to Telpay and make an entry debiting the Telpay Clearing account and crediting the Bank for the total amount. What you are doing is transferring the individual entries in the clearing account to the bank account in bulk. This saves a lot of time when processing your bank reconciliation. Also, the reconciliation of the clearing account will show zero as the balance after the entry is made to the bank.
