Text

(a) The fees and charges provided in section 8
of this chapter for the clerk and sheriff shall be the property of the clerk
and sheriff, and, excepting additional payments to the sheriff provided
for in this section, shall be the only fees and charges payable for their
services relating to the warrants herein and shall be in lieu of all fees
and charges provided for in other statutes for services relating to
recording and serving of warrants and levying of executions, whether
such other statutes relate to clerks, sheriffs, governmental units, or
subdivisions thereof. Such costs shall be charged against the employing
unit and collected from it by the sheriff.
(b) In case the amount collected is sufficient to satisfy the entire
amount of the warrant and all costs thereon, the sheriff shall retain an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the assessment in addition to the
fees provided in section 8 of this chapter. If such amount is not
collected in full, the sheriff shall retain an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the amount collected.
(c) However, in instances wherein the sheriff makes no collection
upon a warrant and it has been returned to the department as
uncollectible and the warrant is thereafter paid voluntarily in whole or
in part by the employing unit to the clerk or to the department, the
sheriff shall not be entitled to either of the payments mentioned in
subsection (b), and the damages assessed in the warrant shall be
deposited in the unemployment insurance benefit fund.
