I’ve issued and paid my first payslip. I am not seeing any transactions in the Employee Clearing Account (which I’ve renamed Wages Payable) or in the Wages & Salaries expense account (which I’ve renamed Salary).
Go to Settings and set up the Payslip Items with the linked expense and liability accounts.
Here’s how my payslip items are configured. Notice that Wages is using the built-in Wages & Salaries account which I renamed Salary in my Chart of Accounts.
The only way I can get the salary expense to show up on my Summary page is to create my own Salary Expense account and change my Wages payslip item to use that account rather than the built-in Wages & Salaries account. The only downside to that is now I have both a Wages & Salaries account (the built-in one) and a Salary account on my P&L. I can’t find a way to hide the built-in account.
Ok to separate the two issues 1) Employee Clearing Account (which I’ve renamed Wages Payable) and 2) Wages & Salaries expense account (which I’ve renamed Salary).

The ECA only shows balances for outstanding items, so if you create a payslip for Christopher with a net pay of 500 and also create a payment for that payslip for 500 then nothing is displayed as they cancel out, the ECA doesn’t show history transactions.

Not sure why your built-in account is not working as it functions correctly for me.
My suggestion would be - delete the Payslip Earning Items (perhaps restart Manager) and then re-create them to see if the proper links are established.
Which edition and version of Manager are you running?
I’m using Desktop edition Manager 18.1.57
I will try what you’ve suggested…easy enough to do now as I only have one recurring payslip and one actual payslip defined so far
This worked! Not sure why, but thankful for the suggestion.
