A. All amounts deducted from a member's compensation as provided in § 38-736 and employer contributions required pursuant to § 38-737 shall be paid to ASRS for deposit in the ASRS depository.

B. Each employer shall certify on each payroll the amount to be contributed and shall remit that amount to ASRS.

C. Payments made by employers pursuant to this article or article 2.1, 7 or 8 of this chapter  1 become delinquent after the due date prescribed in the board's rules and thereafter shall be increased by interest from and after that date until payment is received by ASRS. ASRS shall charge interest on the delinquent payments at an annual rate equal to the interest rate assumption approved by the board from time to time for actuarial equivalency. Delinquent payments due under this article or article 2.1, 7 or 8 of this chapter, together with interest charges as provided in this subsection, may be recovered by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against an employer that is liable for payments or, at the request of the director, may be deducted from any other monies, including excise revenue taxes, payable to the employer by any department or agency of this state. The employer shall record delinquent payments that are recovered or deducted from other monies pursuant to this subsection pursuant to applicable accounting and financial reporting standards.
