  • Unemployment Insurance: These contributions are aimed at providing temporary financial assistance to employees who lose their jobs without fault of their own.
  • Work Injury Compensation: This deduction is used to compensate employees who suffer from work-related injuries or illnesses, covering medical expenses and loss of income during recovery.
