42 reduction in hours but remains on the employer's
43 payroll, and who would receive a reduction in the

9 2. The payment of the applicable contribution
10 amount under this section shall be treated as pick-up
11 contributions in addition to amounts picked up under
12 section 97B.11A. The member must notify the Iowa
13 public employees' retirement system and the member's
14 employer prior to the member terminating employment
15 covered under the system so that the appropriate
16 calculations can be made and the applicable
17 contribution amount for the member can be deducted
18 from the member's wages. The Iowa public employees'
19 retirement system shall have no liability for a
20 member's failure to notify the system and the member's
21 employer in time to make such calculations and deduct
22 the applicable contribution amount from the member's
23 remaining wage payments.
24 3. This section shall apply to employer-mandated
25 reductions in hours during the period of time
26 beginning on or after January 1, 2002, and ending no
27 later than June 30, 2003. The system is authorized to
