What Is Employer Contribution?
Extra costs paid by an employer on top of gross salary — not deducted from your pay.
Definition
Employer contributions are additional payroll costs paid by the employer, typically on top of gross salary. They include employer social security, pension and health contributions. They affect the total employment cost for the employer but do not reduce the employee's gross or net salary.
