NV Rev Stat § 286.460 (2021)
2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 286 - Public Employees’ Retirement|NRS 286.460 - Remittance of contributions by public employers.

  1. Each participating public employer which pays compensation to its officers or employees in whole or in part from money received from sources other than money appropriated from the State General Fund shall pay public employer contributions, or the proper portion thereof, to the System from the money of the department, board, commission or agency.  2. Public employer contributions for compensation paid from the State General Fund must be paid directly by each department, board, commission or other agency concerned, and allowance therefor must be made in the appropriation made for each department, board, commission or other state agency.  3. All participating public employers that are required to make payments pursuant to this section shall file payroll reports not later than 15 days after the end of the reporting period, together with the remittance of the amount due the System. The 15-day limit is extended 1 working day for each legal holiday that falls within the 15-day period and is officially recognized by the public employer.  4. Payroll reports must contain accurate payroll information and be filed in a form prescribed by the Board. If the payroll reports are not filed or the amounts due are not remitted within the time provided, a penalty on the unpaid balance due must be assessed at a rate of 4 percent more than the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) for the first date the payment or report becomes delinquent. For purposes of calculating the penalty on the unpaid balance due, the unpaid balance due must be calculated based on the most recent payroll report submitted to the System by the public employer.  5. A notice of the penalty assessed must be mailed by certified mail to the chief administrator of the delinquent public employer. The public employer shall pay the assessment within 90 days after receipt of the notice or an additional penalty of 1 percent of the assessment per month must be imposed until paid. Refusal or failure by the public employer to pay the assessment within 12 months after receipt is a misdemeanor on the part of the chief administrator of the delinquent public employer. The Board may accept, no later than 30 days after the notice is received, an appeal from a public employer for waiver or reduction of a penalty assessed on account of extenuating circumstances and make any adjustment it deems necessary.  6. Except as otherwise required as a result of NRS 286.537, upon notification that a current employee was not properly enrolled in the System by the public employer, the public employer shall pay within 90 days all the employee and employer contributions and the interest that is due as computed by the System from the first day the employee was eligible for membership. The public employer is entitled to recover from the employee the employee contributions and interest thereon.  7. If an employer reports wages pursuant to this section that are ineligible pursuant to the definition of compensation under NRS 286.025, the public employer is responsible to the employee for the impact to the member’s benefit, if any, that results from the erroneously reported wages.  8. As used in this section, "reporting period" means the calendar month for which members’ compensation and service credits are reported and certified by participating public employers. Compensation paid during each month must be reported separately, and retroactive salary increases must be identified separately for each month to which they apply.
