The company has paid the penalty but wants to charge it to employee by deducting his salary. What will be the accounting entries if the company does not want to show any penalty payments in its books.

It was an added expense which the company had to pay to complete the transaction . It was decided to charge it to the employee by deducting his salary. Can we make an entry in the books showing it as though the employee made the payment.
