How to record a specific expense split in QBO

Hello:). I need to split an expense in QBO - half of it going to a traditional expense account and the other half needs to reflect that it is coming out of an employees paycheck.  I am trying to figure out how to do this in terms of categories/accounts.  We do our payroll in another system (not in QBO).  So, I am just looking to see what the best category/account is for the employee's share of the expense.  My aim is to show (from an accounting standpoint), that the business is only paying out for 1/2 of the expense.  Any pointers?
