I have an HSA account through my employer. My employer puts $750 into the account and also deducts from my paycheck to contribute to the account. Would contributions from payroll deduction count as Employer Contributions and qualify for the 6 month extension to withdraw excess funds from the tax deadline?

Underneath Excess Employer Contributions:
"Note: If you timely filed your return without withdrawing the excess contributions, you can still make the withdrawal no later than 6 months after the due date of your tax return, excluding extensions. If you do, file an amended return with “Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2” written at the top. Include an explanation of the withdrawal. Make all necessary changes on the amended return (for example, if you reported the contributions as excess contributions on your original return, include an amended Form 5329 reflecting that the withdrawn contributions are no longer treated as having been contributed)."
