Our company pays for the total premium of our one full time employee that has elected to receive insurance benefits.  The employee is supposed to pay a portion.  The premium is deducted from our bank account on the first of the month in full.  I want to deduct the employees portion from his paycheck and reimburse our company.  I followed instructions and set up this deduction in payroll.  However, now it creates a liability that has already been paid and wants to electronically pay this liability.  All I want is to reimburse the company for the employee portion of the total premium already paid.  I also want the total to reflect as an expense on my P&L.

I realize these are two separate transactions.  The first being the ins. premium that correctly shows as an expense.  But the deduction from the employee paycheck is confusing me.  I simply want this to be a negative expense but set up is trying to pay a liability.
