No agreement by any individual to waive, release, or commute the individual's rights to benefits or any other rights under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law is valid. No agreement by any individual in the employ of any person or concern to pay all or any portion of an employer's contributions, required under the North Dakota unemployment compensation law from such employer, is valid. No employer may make, require, or accept, directly or indirectly, any deduction from wages to finance the employer's contributions required from the employer, nor require nor accept any waiver of any right hereunder by any individual in the employer's employ. However, this section does not impair the operation of section 52-06-06.1.
