Alabama § 45-37-123.80 - Payment of Contributions and Employer Contributions.

§ 45-37-123.80. Payment of Contributions and Employer Contributions.

(a) Employer contributions. Each payroll period, an amount equal to the total of all members’ employee contributions that is deducted from the members’ compensation pursuant to Section 45-37-123.82 shall be contributed by the county and shall be paid to the system. The system shall remit the contributions to the trust fund as soon as practicable, however the pension board may first pay any sums reasonably necessary to defray administrative expenses of the plan as determined in the sole discretion of the pension board subject to Section 45-37-123.194.

(b) Employer contributions upon reinstatement from qualified military service. If any member leaves the service of the county for the purposes of performing qualified military service and shall have been reinstated to the service of the county within 90 days after the member’s separation from the qualified military service, the county shall promptly pay to the system an amount equal to twice the employee contribution which the employee would have made if he or she had not been absent on such leave, and if his or her compensation had continued to be the same as he or she was earning at the time of the commencement of the leave; provided, however, that no part of the payment by the county shall be refundable to the employee pursuant to Section 45-37-123.104.
