Hi Tony. Do you have accounts in GC that represent your Savings account & Staff accounts? To me it seems that you should let GC reflect reality - you've got a transaction from Assets:Savings to Assets:StaffAccount. as the payments are made, you have transactions between Assets:StaffAccount & expense accounts as appropriate. (presumably, you could be emailed details of payments made to keep your GC up to date?) If, on your return, you have balance left in Assets:StaffAccount, just record a transaction putting it back into savings.
