Salary expense is not a liability - it is an expense; however, if salaries are accrued between periods, there will likely be a liability account named "Accrued Salaries" or "Salary Due."
Associated with salaries; however, are various taxes. Those taxes are not necessarily submitted to government entities at the same time as the salary is paid to employees. There will likely be liability account(s) associated with those taxes.

What happens if an accrued liability for salaries is not recorded?
If an accrued liability is not recorded, then it is not a liability on the balance sheet. Not sure if the employee's could sue - that's a legal question - but if it was paid at a later date then it would be an expense at the time the liability was paid. If you mean to ask - what happens if an accrued liability for salaries is not paid, or is not timely paid - then the IRS can deny the deduction.
What are accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet as?
As you accrue expenses, they show up as a CREDIT on the balance sheet, and a DEBIT on the income statement. Then as you actually incur the expense and pay out, you would CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account on the balance sheet. For example, if you expect to spend $12,000/year on business travelling expenses, you would accrue $1000 monthly as a CREDIT to your accrued liability account (on the balance sheet), then a DEBIT to the expense account (on the income statement). When you actually do incur the expense and pay out, you CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account. Thus, the accrued liability account is cleared out and eventually washed out to zero.
