Upon employment of an employee, the employer shall inform him or her of his or her duties and obligations in connection with the system as a condition of employment. (2) The agency reporting official of the county shall file the following at the retirement office on or before the tenth day of the month following the period being reported: (a) The employee and employer contributions required under KRS 78.610 and 78.635; (b) The employer contributions and reimbursements for retiree health insurance premiums required under KRS 78.5540; and (c) A record of all contributions to the system on the forms prescribed by the systems.

(b) Delinquent contributions, with interest at the rate adopted by the board compounded annually, or penalties may be recovered by action in the Franklin Circuit Court against the county liable or may, at the request of the board, be deducted from any other moneys payable to the county by any department or agency of the state. (4) If an agency is delinquent in the payment of contributions due in accordance with any of the provisions of KRS 78.510 to 78.852, refunds and retirement allowance payments to members of this agency may be suspended until the delinquent contributions, with interest at the rate adopted by the board compounded annually, or penalties have been paid to the system. (5) The system may at any time conduct an audit of the employer in order to determine if the employer is complying with the provisions of KRS 78.510 to 78.852. The system shall have access to and may examine all books, accounts, reports, correspondence files, and records of any employer. Every employer, employee, or agency reporting official of a county, as defined in KRS 78.510(3), having records in its possession or under its control, shall permit access to and examination of the records upon the request of the system. (6) Employers shall not be required to report any information or pay employer contributions on any individual serving as a volunteer who is receiving compensation from the employer equal to or less than a nominal fee as defined by KRS 61.510 and 78.510 if the compensation paid to the volunteer is excluded from the definition of creditable compensation as provided by KRS 61.510(13) or 78.510(13).
