Jorrnal entry for gasoline reimbursement

Help.  I have done this for several employees and it has worked.  However I have new employee and I entered $50 under Gasoline on his payroll window.  Unlike the other employees the journal entry adds this $50 into wages rather than having a separate line for Gasoline Expense.  With the other employees the journal entry has a separate line for gasoline reimbursement.  The pay stub shows $50 added onto his pay for the reimbursement.  What am I doing wrong for this employee?

    Hi Michael:

    It appears the gasoline line in Sage payroll has been set up as an income line rather than a re-imbursement. Check your payroll setup! Check under Setup, Settings, Payroll, and Incomes. Look for the Gasoline Income and check under  the column "Type", look for the magnifying glass icon to check, it should be re-imbursement.

    Hope this helps!

    No, I have Gasoline set up as a Reimbursement under income.  As explained when I have a gasoline expense for another employee in the company it shows Gasoline expense in the journal entry for payroll but for this one employee it is added into Wages.  Very strange!!
