A noncontributory pension or insurance plan is paid for by the employer only. You do not put your own money in. You may still receive the money later; the word is about who pays, not about who gets paid. The opposite kind is a contributory plan, where you and the employer both pay, or you pay and the employer adds a share. You meet this word in HR letters, pension booklets, and insurance small print — not in everyday chat. People sometimes stretch it to mean any scheme you do not fund yourself, even outside work. Though actually, a plan can look 'free' to you and still cost tax or a lower wage somewhere else; the label only tells you there is no staff contribution line.
非自提的、全由雇主提撥的（退休金／保險）
組成non- (not) + contributory (paying a share toward something). So: a plan you do not help pay for.
