§88-222  Contributions by employees of
political subdivisions.  Each political subdivision required to make
payments under section 88-221, may, in consideration of the employee's
retention in, or entry upon, employment after June 10, 1953, impose upon
each of its employees, as to services which are covered by an approved plan, a
contribution with respect to the employee's wages (as defined in section
88-211), not exceeding the amount of the employee tax which would be imposed by
the Federal Insurance Contributions Act if such services constituted employment
within the meaning of that Act, and deduct the amount of such contribution from
the employee's wages as and when paid.  Contributions so collected shall be
paid into the fund in partial discharge of the liability of the political
subdivision or instrumentality under section 88-221.  Failure to deduct such
contribution shall not relieve the employee or employer of liability therefor.
