3.19. An employer is relieved of the obligation to deduct the contribution from the salary of an intermediate officer as soon as it ceases to pay that salary or an amount in lieu thereof, in particular following termination of the employment relationship, suspension without pay or leave without pay. The employer shall inform the association concerned that it has ceased to deduct the contribution from the intermediate officer’s salary at the same time as it sends the amounts collected for the accounting period in which the stoppage occurred. (T.B. 196312, s. 5)
