I have only been working for a pharmaceutical company in the finished drug manufacturing facility for a few weeks. Does my employer have to pay mandatory occupational pension contributions for me? If so, will he do it at his own expense or from my salary?

According to this list, your employer is obliged to transfer OPPV for you, provided that you are at least 80% of your working time engaged in the technological process of these industries:

The employer is the contributor to the OPEC. It is he who makes, at his own expense, mandatory professional pension contributions in favor of the employee.
Mandatory professional pension contributions are established at the rate of 5 percent of the employee's monthly income accepted for calculating pension contributions in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
I work under an employment contract in two organizations as a security guard. Are both companies obliged to transfer mandatory pension contributions to my UAPF account?

Accordingly, two organizations that have entered into employment contracts with an individual are required to transfer OPV to the UAPF, in favor of the employee.
