The premium is being paid by the employer so it will increase the gross pay of the employee as the employee will receive the benefits. However, since the employee will not receive any increment in his cash payment, the pay will remain the same.

The amount of insurance premium will be added to employer’s payroll cost and therefore, total payroll cost will increase for the employer.
