I'm not sure what you think by saying "pay tax" or employer!
If you are an employee (in short, you receive a W-2 not a 1099 reporting your earnings), then the employer MUST withhold income tax, in accord with how you legally instruct wby filing your W-4. That withholding is not his paying your tax. That is his not paying a part of your earnings TO YOU, but instead paying them over to the Fed/State?Local government, as an estimate of the tax you will need to pay. When YOU calculate how much, if any, you were required to pay and file a resturn, if too much was sent in on your behalf, you get it back (a tax refund), and if not enough was sent in, you pay the additional.
HOWEVER, there are many things that may look like taxes that an employer must pay out for an employee also. Some the employee may have to contribute too, dependening on what and where. Like unimployment insurance, worker compensation coverage, medical and life insurance policies, etc.
