(2) Florida Statutes require that each State employee filling an authorized, established position be a member of one of the State retirement systems (generally the Florida Retirement System). The Bureau is authorized to deduct the employee’s retirement contribution, if any, from the employee’s gross wage and to disburse the employer’s retirement contribution according to the rates established by the appropriate retirement plan administrator. Employee and/or employer retirement contributions are computed for all wage payments except:

(5) Any change in the retirement contribution rate must be in the form of a written notification to the Bureau from the retirement plan administrator. The written notification must cite the administrator’s authority to make the rate change.
