CX 13: Contributions to superannuation schemes
or “Employer payments to your superannuation scheme”
You could also call this:

“Employer payments to health and life insurance funds count as a benefit”

You get a fringe benefit when your employer adds money to a fund that helps you if you get sick, have an accident, or die. This fund is called a sickness, accident, or death benefit fund. The money your employer puts into this fund for you is seen as an extra benefit on top of your regular pay.
