Yours is a case of "don't ask, don't tell".  The money doesn't show on
your pay stub so there's no need to account for it.  My employer does
include their contribution as a separate line on my pay stub, so I need
to account for it in the transaction for my paycheck.  Using Income:W2
and Income:Other makes it easy for me to double check year-to-date
salary numbers, and the year-end W2 paperwork.
