[GNC] How do you record the rounding of your netpay?

[Adrien Monteleone]

That sounds like an accrual situation.

If they are consistently owing you, then use an asset account.

If you are consistently owing them, use a liability account.

You could name it 'Payroll Rounding Accrual' or something similar.

If the rounding bounces back and forth between asset and liability, then 
just pick one. If it ever ends up in the opposite normal sign for the 
balance, then you know at that point in time, it is a reverse balance 
account and effectively the other 'type'. This matters little from 
paycheck to paycheck, and probably doesn't even matter on an annual 
basis either.

Adrien
