Are they willing to kick in the employer/employee share

There is no such thing as an "employer share". An employer is willing to pay 1 dollar to get something done and the employee who does the work gets 85 cents. It's all the employee share.

What law are you reading? Under the SSA, the employer pays half and the worker pays half. How does that equal "employee share" being 100%?
