Accounting

Danish Ltd has an average weekly payroll of $300,000. The employees are entitled to 2 weeks of accumulating and vesting sick leave per annum. Past experience suggests that 50% of employees will take the full 2 weeks of sick leave and 30% will take 1 week of leave each year. The rest of the employees take no sick leave.
In the current week, an employee with a weekly salary of $500 has been off sick for the first time this year. The employee took 2 days off out of her normal 5-day working week.
For this employee, one week's entitlement of sick leave has been previously accrued and accumulated for the current year, which will be taken out when the employee takes sick leave.
Assuming that a weekly entry has been made to record the accumulated liability for sick leave and that PAYG tax is deducted at 30%, provide the journal entries to record this employee's weekly salary and sick leave entitlements.
