Full text of Oklahoma Oklahoma Statutes § 51-124 — Contributions by state employees, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 51-124. Contributions by state employees
(a) Every employee of the state whose services are covered by an
agreement entered into under Section 123 shall be required to pay
for the period of such coverage, into the Contribution Fund
established by Section 126, contributions, with respect to wages (as
defined in Section 122 of this title), equal to the amount of the
employee tax which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance
Contributions Act 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 the enactment of this act.
(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.
(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 agency shall prescribe.
