The contribution rate to be applied to such amounts shall be determined pursuant to section 411.8 based on the rates in effect for the period or periods to which the amounts are allocated.

Interest due pursuant to this section may be waived by the system pursuant to rules adopted by the board.

If the system prevails in the civil action to recover unpaid contributions and interest, the court shall require the employer to pay the costs of the action.
