§ 19-11-113 — Contributions, payment during military service

Any employee may, at his option, pay the required employee
contributions to the retirement system, pension fund or employee
benefit plan applicable to his employment during his period of
service in the uniformed services if the payment of
contributions is permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. The
employee shall timely furnish his employer with sums equal to
that which would have been deducted from his compensation for
retirement system coverage as required under the public
retirement system or employee benefit plan. Upon receipt the
employer shall remit the employee contributions to the
applicable system or plan, including the employer contributions
that would have been contributed on behalf of the employee. The
employee shall notify his employer of his election to pay the
required employee contributions to the applicable system or plan
at the time he enters service in the uniformed services.
