(a) Except as
otherwise provided in Section
599.513 and subsection
599.512(e), the
employer shall contribute toward the cost of coverage for each enrolled
employee, annuitant, and family member, other than for periods during which the
enrollment of an employee is continued under the provisions of subsections
599.504(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), or
(g), or for a person who is eligible to
enroll only on the condition that he or she pay the total cost of his or her
coverage, exclusive of contribution made by the employer to the Public
Employees' Contingency Reserve Fund in the amount provided by law.
(b) The contribution of each enrolled
employee and annuitant toward the cost of coverage under the plan in which he
or she is enrolled shall be an amount equal to the gross contribution rate
established for the plan by contract, less the contribution to be made by the
employer under subsection
599.512(a). The
gross contribution rate shall consist of the basic contribution rate set forth
in the contract.
Where enrollment is continued under Section
599.504 and the employer does not
contribute under subsection
599.512 (a), the
employee shall remit monthly during such continuation the gross contribution
rate for his or her coverage under the plan to the carrier on or before the
tenth day of the month preceding the month for which the contribution was due,
or pursuant to any other arrangement agreed to by the Board. For all other
enrollments the gross contribution rate required less the contribution made by
the employer under subsection
599.512 (a) shall
be withheld from salary or retirement allowance warrants.
For the purposes of application of this subsection to
contributions due for enrollment in a prior year, the gross contribution rate
and the employer's contribution under subsection
599.512 (a) shall
be such a contribution rate for the year for which contribution is
due.
(c) Contributions shall
commence with the first salary or retirement allowance warrant payable to the
employee or annuitant preceding the effective date of enrollment, and shall be
made for coverage for a full period of one month. Contributions of the employer
shall commence on the effective date of enrollment.
(d) Contributions shall terminate with the
last contribution made immediately prior to the termination of
enrollment.
(e) Contributions for
an enrolled employee absent because of workers' compensation disability for
which he or she has applied for temporary disability compensation, who
continues enrollment under Section
599.504, shall be paid as follows:
(1) During the period of adjudication of his
or her application for compensation and thereafter during such time as he or
she receives temporary disability compensation which is not supplemented by
sick leave or vacation, or if such supplemental payments are not sufficient to
permit the deduction of his or her contribution, the employee shall pay the
total cost of coverage as provided under subsection
599.512
(b).
(2) Upon establishment of entitlement to
temporary disability compensation and his or her election to supplement such
compensation with sick leave or vacation, the employee shall be entitled to
receive payment of the employer's contribution for the period of adjudication,
and deduction of the employee's contributions from payroll and payment of the
employer's contributions shall continue thereafter so long as supplemental
payments permit deduction of the full contribution of the
employee.
