Companies must match your contributions. They pay 7.65% of your earnings under 104000. This includes payments to Medicare.
Your premise is wrong. FICA is paid on FICA wages (different than reportable income in many ways), and is paid by everyone up to a certain FICA wage limit, which increases with cost of living...currently about 102K a year. If your seldf employed, you pay essentially 2x as much as an employee...because the company of an employee pays half the total 15.3% total tax. (So the owner of your company pays 7.65% FICA for each of his employees).
Yes. If you work after retirement, your employer is still required to withhold 7.65% of your first $106,800 of gross income for FICA, and to pay a matching amount from company funds on your behalf.

Do I have to pay FICA and medicare tax on my pension if I retire early at age 55 and not working?No. A pension, like IRA and 401k distributions, is not considered earned income. You do pay income tax, but not FICA (Social Security and Medicare), on those sources.

You may be an independnet contractor, not an actual employee. If you are, the company/employer doe sNOT have to provide much for you plius YOU MUST pay many things, incl the 7.65% of the 15.3% FICA tax hey normally would.
All members of Congress and all other federal employees hired since 1984 pay FICA. Whether state and local employees pay varies by state.
