Fringe Benefit Issues

Does anyone have a "best practice" suggestion for efficiently using Fringe Benefits?

I think there is a issue with the way Payroll currently handles Fringe Benefits. The process involves creating an Earning:Addition item so that the employee is taxed on the Benefit amount and then creating a Deduction item so that the employee does not actually receive the benefit amount.

The problem is that the Earning:Addition payroll item for the Benefit does not occur automatically while the Deduction offset does. In a company with hundreds of employees, the workaround of manually entering the earning item on each paycheck is simply not feasible.
