Title 9 - Retirement Systems
Chapter 5 - STATE RETIREMENT AND SOCIAL SECURITY ACT OF 1955
Section 9-5-410 - Contributions of employees; deduction from wages; refunds and adjustments.

(1) Every employee whose services are covered by an agreement entered into under Sections 9-5-210 to 9-5-230 shall be required to pay for the period of service with respect to which such agreement is effective, into the contribution fund established by Section 9-5-460, contributions with respect to wages equal to the amount of employee tax which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance Contributions Act if such services constituted employment within the meaning of that act. Such liability shall arise in consideration of the employee's retention in the service of the participating employer, or his entry upon such service, after February 17, 1955.

(2) The contribution imposed by this section shall be collected by deducting the amount of the contribution from wages as and when paid, but failure to make such deduction shall not relieve the employee from liability for such contribution.

(3) If more or less than the correct amount of the contribution imposed by this section is paid or deducted with respect to any remuneration, proper adjustments, or refund if adjustment is impracticable, shall be made, without interest, in such manner and at such times as the State agent shall prescribe.
