38-843.05. Retired members; return to work; employer contributions
A. An employer shall pay contributions at an alternate contribution rate on behalf of a retired member who returns to work in any capacity in a position ordinarily filled by an employee of the employer of an eligible group, unless the retired member is required to participate in another state retirement system and the retired member returned to work before July 20, 2011. For the purposes of this subsection, " returns to work in any capacity" includes a retired member who returns to work and is ineligible for benefits pursuant to section 38-849, subsection E.
B. The alternate contribution rate shall be equal to that portion of the total required contribution that is applied to the amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability for the fiscal year beginning July 1, based on the system's actuary's calculation of the total required contribution for the preceding fiscal year ended on June 30. The alternate contribution rate shall be applied to the compensation, gross salary or contract fee of a retired member who meets the requirements of this section.
C. The alternate contribution rate shall not be less than eight per cent in any fiscal year.
D. All contributions made by the employer and allocated to the fund are irrevocable and shall be used as benefits under this article or to pay the expenses of the system. Payments made pursuant to this section by employers become delinquent after the due date prescribed in section 38-843, subsection D, and thereafter shall be increased by interest from and after that date until payment is received by the system.
E. An employer of a retired member shall immediately notify the local board after the employment of a retired member and shall submit any reports, data, paperwork or materials that are requested by the board or the local board that are necessary to determine the compensation, gross salary or contract fee associated with a retired member who returns to work or to determine the function, use, efficacy or operation of the return to work program.
