Wages is salary. Its the same terminology
If you are talking about addition payments classed as expenses paid in to the (Wage/salary) then it depends if the amount is "claimed" is taxable -
If taxable the amount is shown as a subtotal before the wage/salary figure and then totalled then take and insurances/deductions then net paid
If its not taxable its goes on the end after taxes are removed and shown as net wage plus expense
The company is obliged to record either for tax purposes and for the annual accounts to reflect payments out on the balance sheet

What would the journal entry be if a company incurred an expense?
There may be more than one way to record an expense. The easiest journal to think about is when you've used cash to pay for the expense. In that case, you would debit an expense account and credit cash. But, if you've received the benefit of an expense but have not yet paid for it the debit would still be the expense account but the credit would be a liability account. Of course, there are times when cash flows but no expense is recognized such as investments in property, plant and equipment. After that expenditure is made you would recognize periodic expenses in the form of depreciation. That would be a debit to depreciation expense and a credit to accumulated depreciation.

How did fas 123R change fas 123?
Under FAS 123, companies may continue to record options using the APB 25 intrinsic value method; But, they were required to disclosed in their footnotes what would have been the full expense effect of the options, calculated using the fair value method. Under FAS 123R, companies may no longer use the intrinsic value method. The end result is that companies that issue stock options will now have to record an expense for what they had previously only had to disclose. They are also required to record expense for any outstanding unvested options. In addition, FAS 123R no longer permits companies to account for forfeitures as they occur. Companies will be required to estimate their forfeiture rate and record expense net of estimated forfeitures. In other words, FAS 123 required disclosure, while FAS 123R required recognition.
