FICA contributions, including various sub (categories of things like SS, Disability, Health, etc) are 15.30% of FICA wages. What is considered FICA wages differ from other wage considerations in many ways, (it has a top limit of about 97.5K, how pension contributions factored, State taxes, etc.).

If you are an employee, the employer MUST pay half of the contribution. If your self - employed, the amount normally paid by the employer is collected through something called the "self employment tax" when you file your income tax return.

Yes they do. All wages are subject to FICA and Medicare Taxes. The employer and employee each pay 6.2% of the gross income for Social Security Tax and each pays 1.45% of the gross income for Medicare Taxes. The number of hours works has nothing to do with whether or not taxes are taken out for these taxes.
