Payroll
I use third party to do the payroll. Should I make JE to record payroll? And should I use the gross amount instead of net amount for the Salary Exp. account?

You may need to make several journal entries to record payroll. (1) debit wages credit cash or bank to record net (2) debit wages credit the applicable payroll liabilites account for amounts withheld (3) Debit payroll tax expense and credit applicable payroll liabilities for company portions of FICA and other taxes paid by company.
