How employer and employee shares worked in 2021

For employed members, the 13% regular contribution rate was shared between employer and employee. The employee paid the employee share, while the employer paid its own share plus Employees’ Compensation where applicable.

WISP started in 2021. For higher MSC brackets, the amount above the regular Social Security MSC ceiling was allocated to the provident fund portion.
