The $500 was for wages earned in August but not paid. The adjusting entry in August for that was:

Dr Salaries Expense 500
Dr Salaries Payable 500

To journalize the present transaction, you need to get rid of that credit to Salaries Payable. So you can do a reversing entry, then debit and credit Salaries Expense and Salaries Payable for the full $1,400. The other method would be to debit Salaries Payable for 500, debit Salaries Expense for 900, and credit Cash for 1400.
