| Comments | Wages and salaries include all sub items under item 01 in Central government fiscal account. Employers' social security contributions are paid only by a limited number of government entities. First of all this is the case for general government enterprises, but is also separately determined for other income-earning general government activity. Ordinary government units budget with net wages, which civil servants are paid. National Insurance Scheme receives a transfer from the Treasury which in principle should cover member contributions and employer contributions from the entities which do not pay this directly.
