1998 Minnesota Statutes

     355.50 State employees, appropriation. 

    With respect to state employees, each department and agency 
 shall pay the amounts required by sections 355.41 to 355.60 from 
 such accounts and funds from which each department or agency 
 receives its revenue, including appropriations from the general 
 fund and from any other fund, now or hereafter existing, for the 
 payment of salaries and in the same proportion as it pays 
 therefrom the amounts of such salaries.  Such payments shall be 
 charged as an administrative cost by such units of state 
 government.  

    If the federal government increases the required 
 contributions for social security, and as a result of the 
 increase there are insufficient moneys in any such accounts or 
 fund or source of revenue to make the payments to the 
 contribution fund required by sections 355.41 to 355.60 by such 
 departments or agencies, there is hereby appropriated to such 
 department or agency from any moneys in the state treasury not 
 otherwise appropriated such moneys as are required to meet such 
 deficiencies.  The amount of each payment made pursuant to these 
 provisions shall be certified by the commissioner of employee 
 relations to the commissioner of finance at such times as the 
 commissioner of finance shall require.  The amount certified as 
 necessary to meet a deficiency caused by an increase in federal 
 contribution requirements shall be reported to the senate 
 committee on finance and the house committee on ways and means 
 before the commissioner of finance transfers any money to meet 
 the deficiency.  

    For those employees of the state or its instrumentalities 
 who as eligible members in the state employees retirement 
 association are employed by the state horticultural society, the 
 disabled American veterans, department of Minnesota, veterans of 
 foreign wars, department of Minnesota, the Minnesota crop 
 improvement association, the Minnesota historical society, the 
 armory building commission and the 
 Minnesota-Wisconsin-Minneapolis-St. Paul survival plan project, 
 these units of government shall also pay into the contribution 
 fund contributions with respect to wages equal to the sum of 
 taxes which would be imposed by the Federal Insurance 
 Contributions Act if the services covered by such agreement or 
 modification constituted employment within the meaning of that 
 act.
