Under the accrual method of accounting, this account reports the employer’s portion of the health insurance cost incurred by the company during the period indicated in the heading of the income statement, whether or not the company has paid/remitted the insurance premiums within this time period. Since this account involves the warehouse function of the business, the health insurance expense should be reported in the same section of the company’s income statement as the warehouse salaries and wages are reported.

"Just had to write & say how much I love AccountingCoach and love being a PRO member! Love reading the material because the explanations are so clear and helpful. Years ago, I took a course at two different 2-year colleges, and I remember being frustrated and agonizing over how confusing and unclear both courses were to me. Having AccountingCoach's material to study heals the frustration and confusion and brings me hope and peace, and joy! Truly! I refer people to your site as much as possible knowing they'll be benefiting and very grateful. This is Education at its finest!" - Carol S.
