My payroll transaction are being recorded in my current account twice. Once as an expenses and via the journal. How do i stop this and amend old transactions?

Hi

I'm using payroll standard. I understand the journal postings but I don't understand why it's not matching the transaction but showing them twice. Once when I run the payroll and again when I actually make the payment to my employees and the transaction shows in the banking transactions. 

I've changed where the journals are posting now so it's a separate account but I will have to do an entry to balance this account off at the end of the year. It just seems long winded when it simply only needs to match the payroll payments to the bank account transactions. I also can't go back and amend previous payroll payments so my quick books balance and bank account balance won't match.

Is there a better fix to this?
