What Is a Payroll Liability, Exactly?

In accounting, a liability is an obligation to pay an amount of money. When you manage payroll, your business incurs two types of payroll obligations:

• Employee compensation: The gross wages owing to workers and independent contractors are included in payroll obligations.
• Withheld amounts: Amounts withheld from employee pay for income taxes must be submitted to the IRS and state revenue offices. Payroll liabilities are funds that have been withheld but have not yet been remitted. When a corporation deducts money from an employee’s compensation, the money is not considered a payroll expenditure.
• Payroll expenses: Some payroll costs are not deducted from employee remuneration. When payroll is completed, for example, the employer’s part of Social Security and Medicare taxes becomes a liability. When the payments are paid, the liability is categorized as an expense account.

Payroll Liabilities Are Divided Into the Following Categories:

Employee compensation, taxes, and voluntary deductions all contribute to payroll obligations. Employers must also pay FICA (Federal Insurance Contribution Act) tax and other fees via payroll.

Gross salaries owing to employees and independent contractors are included in payroll obligations. There are numerous ways to calculate obligation for a specific pay period:

• Hourly workers: This responsibility is computed by calculating the entire number of hours worked by the hourly rate of pay, including overtime hours. Hourly employees may be eligible for incentive compensation as well.
• Independent contractors (freelance workers): Amounts due on a flat price or an hourly basis.
