Though I honestly never heard of a company paying a Salary in advance, the journal entry would be:Prepaid Salary (debit) $$$$Cash (credit) $$$$It would be like paying any other expense in advance, such as rent expense, insurance expense etc. You would debit a prepaid account for the amount while crediting your cash. Once the Salary is earned you would adjust the entry by Debiting Salary Expense and Crediting Prepaid Salary.

what is the entry for an excess payment from customer
A journal entry for prepaid expenses involves debiting the prepaid expense account to recognize the asset acquired, and crediting the cash or bank account to show the payment made. Over time, the prepaid expense is gradually recognized as an expense through adjusting entries by debiting the relevant expense account and crediting the prepaid expense account. This process ensures that expenses are matched with the revenues they help generate.
