§2014. Payment of contributions; delinquency penalty; agreement to deductions
A. Each participating employer shall pay into the appropriate fund, with respect to earnings, at such time or times as the board may by regulation prescribe, contributions in the amounts and at the rates prescribed by R.S. 11:103.
B. Every employer required to make payments under Subsection A is authorized to impose upon its employees a contribution with respect to earnings as set forth in R.S. 11:62(8) and to deduct the amount of such contribution from earnings as and when paid. Contributions so collected shall be paid to the board in partial discharge of the liability of such employer. Failure to deduct such contribution shall not relieve the employee or employer of liability thereof.
C. Payments due under Subsections A and B of this Section shall be considered delinquent when not received by the system within fifteen days after the close of each fiscal quarter as determined by the Board. Delinquent payments shall, with interest at the rate of one and one-half percent per month compounded monthly, become due immediately upon determination of delinquency by the board and may be recovered by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the employer liable therefor or shall, upon due certification of delinquency and at the request of the board, be deducted from any other monies payable to such employer by any department or agency of the state.
The board may request its actuary to compute the accrued liability of the system resulting from the delinquent receipt of these payments. If, pursuant to that calculation, it is determined that the payment of interest, as specified in this Subsection, is insufficient to pay the amount which, on an actuarial basis, totally offsets the increase in accrued liability of the system resulting from the receipt of the credit by the employee for the delinquent payments, the board shall also collect an additional amount, sufficient, on an actuarial basis, to totally offset the increase in accrued liability.
This sum shall be due and owing and may be recovered as specified in this Subsection. The amount payable shall be calculated by use of the actuarial funding method, assumptions, and tables in use by the system at the time of the person's application for credit.
D. The deductions provided for herein shall be made notwithstanding that the minimum compensation provided for by law for any member shall be reduced thereby. Every member shall be deemed to consent and agree to the deductions made and provided for herein and shall receipt for his full salary or compensation. The payment of salary or compensation less said deductions shall be a full and complete discharge and acquittance of all claims and demands whatsoever for the services rendered by such person during the period covered by such payment, except as to the benefits provided under this Chapter.
The employer shall certify to the board on each and every payroll or in such other manner as the board may prescribe, the amounts to be deducted; and each of said amounts shall be deducted, and when deducted shall be paid into the respective annuity savings fund, and shall be credited to the individual account of the member from whose compensation said deduction was made.
