Introduction
• General Meaning
In general terms, employee contributions are any form of contribution that
employees make to their own benefits programs. They may not come with
matching contributions from employers. In most cases, employee
contributions come out of workers' paychecks before taxes, allowing them to
reduce tax liability in the short term and invest in a benefit that will pay out in
the long run. Employee contributions are voluntary but necessary if employees
wish to participate in employer-sponsored benefits programs.

Bottom line impact is one contribution indispensable employees make. Do you know
your bottom line impact? Following Expert Market’s approach, divide your employer’s

supporting sales via marketing, operations or administrative support? Do you keep
costs in line and therefore contribute more directly to profitability? Here are six other
contributions you can focus on to make yourself indispensable to your employer:

Indispensable employees are valuable to their company externally, not just internally. Whether
it’s having a client-facing role, such as sales or customer service, or it’s being a brand
ambassador for your company in recruiting, industry conferences or other professional events,
indispensable employees contribute to a halo effect for their employers. Wow, that employee is
impressive, therefore that company is impressive. Are you a brand ambassador to your
employer? Are you knowledgeable about your company overall? Can you compelling and
informatively explain to people why they should work at your employer or do business with
your employer?
