(e) The board shall establish in the trust an individual
investment account for each participant in the plan. All
contributions by a participant or an employer for or on behalf
of a participant shall be credited to the participant's
individual investment account, together with all interest and
investment earnings and losses. Investment and administrative
fees, costs and expenses shall be charged to the participants'
individual investment accounts except as otherwise provided
under this act or as the county otherwise provides by
appropriations from the county general fund. Employer defined
contributions shall be recorded and accounted for separately
from participant contributions, but all interest, investment
earnings and losses, and investment and administrative fees,
costs and expenses shall be allocated proportionately.
(f) (1) A participant shall make mandatory pickup
participant contributions through payroll deductions to the
participant's individual investment account equal to a rate as
determined by the board. The employer shall cause those
contributions for current service to be made and deducted from
each payroll or on such schedule as established by the board.
(2) A participant may make voluntary contributions through
payroll deductions, through direct trustee-to-trustee transfers,
or through transfers of money received in an eligible rollover
into the trust to the extent allowed by IRC § 402. The rollovers
shall be made in a form and manner as determined by the board,
shall be credited to the participant's individual investment
account and shall be separately accounted for by the board.
(3) No contributions may be allowed that would cause a
violation of the limitations related to contributions applicable
to governmental plans contained in IRC § 415 or in other
