61.560 Employee's contribution -- Rate -- Picked-up employee contributions. (1) Each employee shall, commencing on August 1, 1986, contribute for each pay period for which he receives compensation five percent (5%) of his creditable
compensation, unless he did not elect membership pursuant to KRS 61.545(3), and
except that members of the General Assembly, who elect the survivorship option
provided in KRS 61.635(13), shall each contribute six and six-tenths percent (6.6%)
of creditable compensation commencing with the payroll period immediately
following his election of the option. Any other provisions of KRS 61.515 to 61.705
notwithstanding, any reemployed retiree, as described in KRS 61.637, shall
contribute five percent (5%) of his creditable compensation, or the amount required
by KRS 61.592(3) if applicable, if he anticipates that he will receive more than the
maximum permissible earnings, as provided by the Federal Social Security Act, in
compensation as a result of reemployment during the calendar year. (2) Each employer shall cause to be deducted from the creditable compensation of each employee for each and every payroll period the contribution payable by each such
employee as provided in KRS 61.515 to 61.705. (3) The deductions provided for herein shall be made notwithstanding that the minimum compensation provided by law for any employee shall be reduced
thereby. Every employee shall be deemed to consent and agree to the deductions
made as provided herein; and payment of salary or compensation less such
deductions shall be a full and complete discharge of all claims for services rendered
by such person during the period covered by such payment, except as to any
benefits provided by KRS 61.515 to 61.705. (4) Each employer shall, solely for the purpose of compliance with Section 414(h) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, pick up the employee contributions
required by this section for all compensation earned after August 1, 1982, and the
contributions so picked up shall be treated as employer contributions in determining
tax treatment under the United States Internal Revenue Code and KRS 141.010(10).
These contributions shall not be included as gross income of the employee until
such time as the contributions are distributed or made available to the employee.
The picked-up employee contribution shall satisfy all obligations to the retirement
system satisfied prior to August 1, 1982, by the employee contribution, and the
picked-up employee contribution shall be in lieu of an employee contribution. Each
employer shall pay these picked-up employee contributions from the same source of
funds which is used to pay earnings to the employee. The employee shall have no
option to receive the contributed amounts directly instead of having them paid by
the employer to the system. Employee contributions picked up after August 1, 1982,
shall be treated for all purposes of KRS 61.515 to 61.705 in the same manner and to
the same extent as employee contributions made prior to August 1, 1982. Effective: July 13, 1990

Reviser of Statutes to read "KRS 61.635(13)." 2008 (1st Extra. Sess.) Ky. Acts ch. 1,
sec. 19, deleted KRS 61.635(13) and renumbered the subsequent subsections, but did
not make the necessary change to the reference in this statute. This oversight has
been corrected under the authority of KRS 7.136(1). Legislative Research Commission Note (7/13/90). This section was amended by two 1990 Acts which do not appear to be in conflict and have been compiled together.
