Section 31582 - Auditor to certify compensation earnable for safety members; advance payment of estimated annual contribution(a) The county auditor shall certify to the board at the end of each month or at the end of each pay period the compensation earnable, as defined in Section 31461, and the pensionable compensation, as defined in Section 7522.34, paid to all members of the retirement association and the auditor shall thereupon transfer from the appropriation to the retirement fund the applicable percentage of this amount determined pursuant to Sections 31453, 31453.5, and 31454. Until that determination, the amount of the transfer shall be 23.77 percent of the compensation earnable, as defined in Section 31461, and the pensionable compensation, as defined in Section 7522.34, paid to all safety members and 8.85 percent of the compensation earnable, as defined in Section 31461, and the pensionable compensation, as defined in Section 7522.34, paid to all other members.(b) The board of supervisors may authorize the county auditor to make an advance payment of all or part of the county's estimated annual contribution to the retirement fund, provided that the payment is made no later than 30 days after the commencement of the county's fiscal year. This subdivision does not prevent the board of supervisors from authorizing the county auditor to make an advance payment for the estimated annual county contributions for an additional year or partial year if the advance payment is made no later than 30 days after the commencement of the county fiscal year for which the advance payment is made. If the advance is only a partial payment of the county's estimated annual contribution, remaining transfers to the retirement fund shall be made at the end of each month or at the end of each pay period until the total amount required for the year is contributed. Transfers shall be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year to reflect the actual contribution required for that year.(c) A district subject to Section 31585 may also authorize an advance payment of all or part of the district's estimated annual contribution to the retirement fund, provided that the payment is made no later than 30 days after the commencement of the district's fiscal year. This subdivision does not prevent the governing body of a district from authorizing the district to make an advance payment for the estimated annual district contributions for an additional year or partial year if the advance payment is made no later than 30 days after the commencement of the district fiscal year for which the advance payment is made. If the advance is only a partial payment of the district's estimated annual contribution, payments to the retirement fund shall be made at the end of each month or at the end of each pay period until the total amount required for the year is contributed. This amount shall be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year to reflect the actual contribution required for that year.Amended by Stats 2017 ch 76 (SB 671),s 1, eff. 1/1/2018.Amended by Stats 2010 ch 158 (SB 1479),s 2, eff. 1/1/2011.Amended by Stats 2000 ch 203 (AB 2841), s 1, eff. 1/1/2001.
