Is that a US thing only? Because this sounds like double taxation. An employee have to pay Income tax, which is normal and standard across the globe, but employer also have to pay another "income tax" for its employees on top of pensions, medicals and others ?

In the USA at least, the employee pays taxes on their wages and the employer, also pays some taxes on the employee wages as well.

It's not an income tax, it's a payroll tax. and there is nothing in general saying you can't double-tax. plenty of double taxes in the us.
