Benefit payments by check

We are wondering how other organizations process benefit payments outside of payroll.  For example, when an employee is on unpaid leave and they want to continue to pay for their benefits via a check; how do we record so their historical information is correct?

The only premiums paid by personal check we record in Lawson are for health. We do this so it can be included in the cost of health coverage reported on the W-2.

For flexible spending (medical and dependent care) and HSA, our deductions have a descending balance on PR14 so this balance is reduced manually to reflect any payment made by personal check to prevent deductions in excess of the election.
