    Bi-weekly means every 2 weeks. So if the office assistant gets paid $200 per week, every two weeks, that’s $400 every two weeks. So the entry every two weeks would be:
    Dr Wages Expense 400
    Cr Cash 400
    *Note: On Jan. 10, the actual date of hire, no entry is necessary. Until work is performed, no expense is accrued.
