Each agency employing members of the retirement system shall deduct from
the compensation of each member for each payroll period subsequent to the
date the individual became a member, the percentage of his compensation due
under the rates prescribed in KRS 161.540. No later than fifteen (15) days
following the end of each payroll period, the agency shall forward all amounts
deducted to the Teachers' Retirement System. The retirement system shall
charge the employing agency interest at an annual rate not to exceed twelve
percent (12%) for deductions not remitted within the specified fifteen (15) days.
Payroll reports, contributions lists, and other data required by administrative
regulation of the board of trustees shall be submitted. Employers shall submit
an annual report, in compliance with requirements of the retirement system, of
member contributions and periods employed to the retirement system no later
than August 1 following the completion of each fiscal year. The retirement
system may impose a penalty on the employer not to exceed one thousand
dollars ($1,000) when the employer does not meet the August 1 reporting date.
The deductions shall be made notwithstanding the fact that the salary as a
result may be less than the minimum compensation provided by law. Every
member shall be deemed to consent and agree to the deductions, and the
deductions shall be considered as having been paid to the member. After
August 1, 1982, member contributions shall be picked up by the agency
pursuant to KRS 161.540(2).
If an employer fails to deduct the correct retirement contribution from a
member's compensation, the member may make the contribution that should
have been deducted by the employer and receive retirement credit for the
payment. For correction of omitted member contributions that occur more than
one (1) year after the year in which the error was made, the employer shall be
responsible for paying interest to the retirement system at a rate of eight
percent (8%) from the end of the year in which the service was performed to
the date of payment.
