Adding Employer Contributions to Social Insurance Premiums

Updated today

This guide explains how to reconcile employer contribution amounts for social insurance premiums.

What are employer social insurance contributions (= employer burden)?

  • For social insurance premiums such as National Pension, Health (Long-term Care) Insurance, Employment Insurance, and Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance, the premiums are split between the company and the employee.

    • National Pension: split equally between the company and the employee

    • Health (Long-term Care) Insurance: split equally between the company and the employee

    • Employment Insurance: consists of two types — unemployment benefits and employment stability/vocational skills development

      • Unemployment Benefits: split equally between the company and the employee

      • Employment Stability and Vocational Skills Development Program: borne by the company only

    • Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance: borne by the company only

Payroll Reconciliation – Employment Insurance Employment Stability and Vocational Skills Development Premium Reconciliation

While the National Pension and Health (Long-term Care) Insurance contributions are the same amount for both the company and the employee, the Employment Insurance Employment Stability and Vocational Skills Development premium is an amount borne solely by the company. To clearly display the employer contribution, a separate column has been added during reconciliation.

The Employment Stability and Vocational Skills Development premium is basically automatically calculated based on the employment insurance rate.

However, since it is back-calculated from the employee\'s contribution without changing the standard monthly remuneration, a small discrepancy may occur between the calculated amount and the actual billed employment insurance premium due to rounding. In such cases, please manually enter the amount to correct the premium.

FAQ

Are employer social insurance contributions also calculated for transferred payroll reconciliations?

The employer social insurance contribution is back-calculated based on the employee (member) contribution entered at the time of payroll transfer. In the payroll summary table, the corresponding amounts are combined and displayed together.

An error occurs when uploading the industrial accident insurance notice details EDI file and the upload fails.

If you attempted to upload the notice details file but encountered an error and the upload failed, please check the following.

  • Please verify that the resident registration number entered in each member\'s profile is correctly mapped to the resident registration number in the Excel file.

  • Please check that the employee ID is entered in the basic information section of the member\'s profile. For payroll reconciliation, entering the employee ID, resident registration number, wage contract information, and payroll payment information is mandatory!

    Even if you do not use employee IDs internally, if you plan to use the flex payroll reconciliation feature, please enter an arbitrary employee ID.
