Assuming the employee paid via payroll deduction, most companies would post the P/R deduction as a credit to Insurance Expense (or a credit to a contra-account called something like Employee's Contributions to Insurance Expense) directly from the payroll entry. However, you could also post the P/R deduction credit to a liability account called Employee Insurance Payable. Then, when the insurance invoice was posted, half would be debited to Insurance Expense and half to the liability account. This would give you more cost control if you reconciled the payable account with each invoice.
