N.Y. Education Law § 520: Duties of employer

§ 520. Duties of employer. 1. Each employer shall keep such records

and from time to time shall furnish such information as the retirement

board in the discharge of its duties may require.

2. a. Upon the employment of any teacher to whom this article may

apply, he shall be informed by his employer of his duties and

obligations in connection with the retirement system as a condition of

his employment. Every teacher accepting employment shall be deemed to

consent and agree to any deductions from his compensation required

herein and to all other provisions of this article.

b. Upon the employment of any teacher whose right to membership in the

system has been made optional by the retirement board pursuant to

subdivision two of section five hundred three of this article the

employer shall inform such teacher in writing of the right to join the

system. Each such teacher shall acknowledge the receipt of such notice

by signing a copy thereof and filing it with such employer. Provided,

however, the failure to inform such teacher shall not in any way be

construed to waive the requirement that membership for such a teacher

commences only when an application for membership is filed with the

system nor shall it be construed to waive any of the eligibility

requirements for previous service credit.

3. Notwithstanding any other law, rule or regulation affecting the

salary, pay, compensation, other prerequisites or tenure of any teacher

to whom this article applies, or shall apply, and notwithstanding that

the minimum salary, pay, compensation or other prerequisites, provided

by law for such teacher shall be reduced thereby, payment less said

deductions shall be a full and complete discharge and acquittance of all

claims and demands whatsoever for service rendered by such member during

the period covered by such payment.

4. During September of each year, or at such other times as the

retirement board shall approve, each employer shall certify to the

retirement board the names of all teachers to whom this article applies.

5. Each employer shall on the first day of each calendar month or at

such less frequent intervals as the retirement board may approve, notify

the retirement board of the employment of new teachers, removals,

withdrawals and changes in salary of members that shall have occurred

during the month preceding or the period covered since the last

notification.
