Workplace benefit funding

Employer contribution is the portion of an employee benefit that the employer pays.

Most commonly it refers to retirement plans, where employers match or add to employee contributions: The company offers a 401(k) with a generous employer contribution.

It also applies to health insurance premiums, where employers typically cover a percentage of the cost.
