Journal Entry for salaries

Can someone advise on this.  I've made the journal entry table for a monthly salary. 

In the Debit column I have Gross Wage / Employers NI / Employers Workplace Pension. 

In the Credit column I have Net Wages / PAYE / Total NI / Total WPP .  

The 2 columns do not match up.  

The problem seems to be the Workplace Pension figure.  If I swop the Employers contribution for the Employees contribution in the Debit column then it matches.  I have double/treble checked these figures.  

What am I doing wrong please?

    Hi Yvonne,

    Thank you for using Sage City.

    Apologies for the delayed response to your question. 

    I've had a look at the values that you are posting as Debits / Credits - and it all seems correct to be honest. Are there any other deductions that have been posted through the employees salaries? 

    Hope this helps.
