Group Benefits: Correct Setup and How to Prepay

We offer group benefits to our staff and it's a shared portion except for the life insurance which is paid in full by the staff.

We prepay the group benefits at the beginning of the month and the employee portion is deducted every pay (bi-weekly). As of now, we create a cheque for the payment of the group benefits and that is screwing up the "Profit & Loss" since the cheque payment for the group benefits as well as the employer portion is also included there.

Also, we offer this to staff that is on maternity/illness leave and they would send an e-transfer mid-month for their portion. How can we post these payments and how it can be posted in box#40 at the end of the year?

 

Would greatly appreciate your help/assistance.
