Cash contributions include those paid by cash, check, credit card, or payroll deduction.

Because repayments are limited to 9 per cent of any earnings over the 15,000 threshold, they are best seen as a relatively modest monthly payroll deduction.

In addition to voluntary methods of recoupment, employers commonly use payroll deduction, as well as offsetting the recoupment against future paper claims.

The hospital also initiated a payroll deduction option for the hospital's employees.

Products are also sold as an employee benefit through payroll deduction.
