Section 11.45.12. Annual review of participating employees.

During September of each year, each participating qualified tuition program must supply the centralized payroll administrator with a certified list, in an acceptable electronic format, of all state employees who have a tuition contribution deduction through any state payroll system. The list must contain the same information as required in 45.3(2)“d” and will be used by the centralized payroll administrator to determine whether the qualified tuition program has 500 employees participating in the program.

The centralized payroll administrator will provide a copy of the certified list for each payroll system to the officer in charge of that payroll system for verification of employee status.

If the minimum qualification is not being maintained, written notification will be provided to the qualified tuition program, giving the qualified tuition program 90 days to meet the minimum qualification. If, at the end of the 90-day period, the minimum qualification has not been attained, the tuition contribution deduction for all participating employees in that qualified tuition program will be terminated.
