This is similar in the US. There are lots of additional costs beyond the salary for an employee. It's just never really advertised to the employee how much money the company actually puts up to pay the salary in your offer letter.

These should be eliminated, let the compensation flow to employees and then tax it in land values or consumption taxes, ideally. Then people can get an idea of just how much tax they are paying, and maybe Americans will stop thinking they're getting such a great deal. That said, it's still pretty remarkable how high US salaries are even with all these costs.
