How do I account for prepaid employee health insurance in QB?

This is a liability since technically if the employee were to terminate you would owe them the money back.  Deposit the money using a payroll liability account.  When you next bill comes, enter the amount of the bill however in the expense portion, enter the total less the employees monthly premium.  Drop down a line and use the payroll liability account in the amount of that month's premium.  You might want to set up a separate liability account so that you can easily track the declining balance down to zero.

Should I record it as a General Journal Entry or thru the Adjust Payroll Liabilities?
