Why is Sage transfer my source account balances to payables - want it to stop

Question

I am totally bewildered by Sage 50 posting entries for WSIB and Source Deductions to the payables account at month end.

I want those balances to show on the balance sheet in their respective accounts.How do I get Sage to stop posting to payables?

Thanks for your reply. All accounts are set up as linked accounts to payroll on the balance sheet - and payroll expenses on the income statement - so when i do a payroll entry the amounts are automatically posted to these accounts When I make payments on a monthly and quarterly basis these payments are paid in the payments journal under the "pay remittance" drop down choice. This has clear options to choose End of Remitting Period so the payment matches what is owing for the period being paid. I have been doing this for years and years with no issue. For example - upon payment in the past entry would be on the date of payment ie April 30th for March 31st quarter WSIB Payable $xxx Bank $xxx Now Sage is generating on March 31 WSIB Payable $xxx Accounts Payable $xxx 
 And then is generating for payment date April 30 Accounts Payable $xxx 
 Bank $xxx 
 How do I stop this - I want my WSIB and three source accounts listed on the Balancesheet at all times not transfer to accounts payable at the end of the month.
