(2)(A)(i) Each political subdivision required to make payments under subdivision (a)(1) of this section, in consideration of the employee's retention in, or entry upon, employment, is authorized to impose upon each of its employees, as to services which are covered by an approved plan, a contribution with respect to the employee's wages as defined in § 24-1-202.
