Payroll liabilities - something seems wrong here ...

As an example:  We receive an invoice from our group health carrier.  We enter it as a debit to expense and credit to liability Insurance Payable.  The employees make a deduction from pay, which to our mind should post as a credit to the expense, NOT as an increase to a liability.  Unfortunately, the Payroll Item List shows an entry for a liability account, and we have been unable to change it.  How do we go about doing this?  I have looked at the documentation on this and so far haven't found anything that addresses this problem.  There are some other Payroll Items that need tweaking as well.  What am I missing about understanding how QB thinks this should work?
