19-1-705. Deduction of employee contribution by political subdivision. (1) Each political subdivision required to make payment under 19-1-704 shall, in consideration of the employee's retention in or entry upon employment after February 20, 1953, impose upon each of its employees, as to services which are covered by an approved plan, a contribution with respect to his wages (as defined in 19-1-102), 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 shall deduct the amount of such contributions from his wages as and when paid.
     (2) Contributions so collected partially discharge the liability of the political subdivision or instrumentality under 19-1-704. Failure to deduct the contribution does not relieve the employee or employer of liability therefor.
