Subd. 2. Employee. The employee contribution to the fund is an amount equal to 5.0 percent of the salary of every coordinated member and 9.0 percent of the salary of every basic member. This contribution must be made by deduction from salary. Where any portion of a member's salary is paid from other than public funds, the member's employee contribution must be based on the entire salary received.

(b) If salary deductions and employer contributions were erroneously transmitted to the retirement fund and should have been transmitted to another Minnesota public pension plan, the retirement association must transfer these salary deductions and employer contributions to the appropriate public pension fund without interest. For purposes of this paragraph, a Minnesota public pension plan means a plan specified in section 356.30, subdivision 3, or the plan governed by chapter 354B.

(c) If a salary warrant or check from which a deduction for the retirement fund was taken has been canceled or the amount of the warrant or check has been returned to the funds of the employing unit making the payment, a refund of the amount deducted, or any portion of it that is required to adjust the salary deductions, shall be made to the employing unit.

(d) Any erroneous direct payments of member paid contributions or erroneous salary deductions that were not refunded in the regular processing of an employing unit's annual summary report shall be refunded to the member with interest computed using the rate and method specified in section 354.49, subdivision 2.
