RS 2132 - Annuity savings fund; contributions to fund; amount of employee contributions
The annuity savings fund shall be a fund in which shall be accumulated contributions from the compensation of members to provide for their annuities. Contributions to and payments from the annuity savings fund shall be made as follows:
(1) Each employer shall cause to be deducted from the salary of each member on every payroll of such employer for every payroll period a percentage equal to the rate established pursuant to R.S. 11:62(13) of each member's earnable compensation. In determining the amount earnable by a member in a payroll period, the board of trustees may consider the rate of annual compensation payable to such member on the first day of the payroll period as continuing throughout such payroll period, and it may omit deduction from compensation for any period less than a full payroll period. To facilitate the making of deductions, it may modify the deduction required of any member by such an amount as shall not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the annual compensation upon the basis of which such deduction is to be made.
(2) The deductions provided for in this Section 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 in this Section and shall receipt for his full salary or compensation, and 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 by this Chapter. The employer shall certify to the board of trustees on each and every payroll or in such other manner as the board of trustees may prescribe, the amounts to be deducted; and each of said amounts shall be deducted, and when deducted shall be paid into said annuity savings fund, and shall be credited together with regular interest thereon to the individual account of the member from whose compensation said deduction was made.
