Record Cash-in-hand Reward for referral program on employee paycheques

My employer is creating an employee referral program, where if an employee brings in a client, they receive $25 cash-in-hand. I am trying to figure out a way to add this cash taxable benefit onto the employees paycheques without adding an additional $25 (as they already received the cash) while also having it taxed correctly.

 

As they will be receiving the cash already, I cannot use the additional payment type as it adds on another $25 to their paycheque.

 

I also tried to set up a non-cash contribution but the Tax settings are not correct as non-cash benefits are not taxed for EI where as cash benefits are.

 

Are there other options?

 

Thanks!
