Employee wages seem to be counted twice

Steps

1. Open Employees & time and find the employee and date.
2. Approved time creates its labor expense automatically. Recording its wage settlement marks that linked expense paid; it does not need a second general expense.
3. Open Expenses & income and look for a separate manually entered expense for the same hours.
4. If you confirm a manual duplicate, back up first, then remove only that duplicate. Keep the expense linked to the time entry.
5. Track employer taxes, benefits or other extra costs separately only if they are not already included in the rate used for those hours.

Check that it worked

The job contains one labor cost for the approved time, and cash reflects its recorded payment once.

Still stuck?

If you cannot distinguish two entries, compare the date, job, description and receipt reference before deleting anything.
