Section 36-28-7

Collection, etc., of contributions of state employees.

(a) Every employee of the state whose services are covered by an agreement entered into under Section 36-28-4 shall be required to pay for the period of such coverage into the Contribution Fund established by Section 36-28-8 contributions with respect to wages, as defined in Section 36-28-1, equal to the amount of tax which would be imposed by Section 3101 of Title 26, U.S.C.A., 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 or his entry upon such service after November 1, 1950.

(b) The contribution imposed by this section shall be collected by the state 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. The persons or department preparing the payrolls through which employees covered by the agreement are paid shall make such reports to the state Comptroller as are deemed necessary upon forms supplied by the Comptroller.

(c) 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 Comptroller shall prescribe.
