Section 11:3365 - Salary deductions paid into the fund by persons employed after December 31, 1967A. Five percent of the salaries of all members of the fire department employed after December 31, 1967, or of members employed before that date who elect to come under R.S. 11:3381 as set forth in R.S. 11:3384 thereof, shall be credited to an annuity savings account and invested by the board. Beginning July 1, 1973, six percent of the salaries of all members of the fire department employed after December 31, 1967, or of members employed before that date who elect to come under R.S. 11:3381 as set forth in R.S. 11:3384 thereof, shall be credited to an annuity savings account and invested by the board. Also beginning July 1, 1973, any member who becomes eligible for his normal minimum retirement benefits shall no longer have the above salary deductions collected monthly out of his salary nor shall he be liable therefor. This amount shall be deducted and collected monthly out of the salaries; provided that monies received as overtime pay, part time pay and holiday pay shall not be considered as salary for pension fund purposes; and further provided that the amount contributed by each such employee shall be held for his personal account and shall annually be credited with interest at a rate to be determined by the board.B. Upon retirement the accumulated amount in this fund, together with an amount taken from the pension accumulation account sufficient when combined to provide the present value of the pension to be paid as determined as an actuarial basis, shall be transferred to an annuity reserve account for said purpose.C. Should the employee leave the employment of the city fire department at any time, all of his accumulated contributions paid in after December 31, 1967, together with interest credited thereto, shall be paid to him in a lump sum if living, otherwise to his named beneficiary unless he is entitled to receive retirement benefits; and upon such withdrawal he shall forfeit all credit for service in this system. Should the employee later return to employment of the city fire department and remain in such employment for a period of four years, he may repay the amount he withdrew plus three and one-half percent compound interest and again be given credit for the service he forfeited when he withdrew.La.
