Employee expense and recording the deduction

We paid for an employee expense, so the transaction was marked as an expense in our books. Then the expense was paid back by the employee by means of a deduction from their paycheck. We do not use QB payroll, we use a different company. I want to record the deduction transaction back to the expense so that our P&L is accurate, but we do the Cash method of accounting, so I do not have a live transaction to record and if I enter a journal entry, it wants to take the funds from a bank account, but it did not come from a bank account, we simply paid the employee less the deduction. How do I enter the deduction or resolve this in our books?
