Agency Service Fee. A. Subject to the terms and provisions of G.L. (Ter. Ed.) c 150E, s. 12 and regulations promulgated thereunder, the School Committee agrees to require as a condition of employment that all bargaining unit employees pay a service fee to the Association on or after the thirtieth (30th) day following the beginning of employment or the date of the signing of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, whichever is later. The amount of the service fee shall be equal to the amount required to become a member and remain a member in good standing in the Association. Resignation from the Association or failure to maintain good standing as an Association member shall require the employee to pay the service fee. B. If an employee does not pay a valid service fee after the bargaining agent has made a written demand to the employee for payment of such fee, the School Committee shall be required to, subject to the statute and its regulations promulgated there under: suspend the employee without pay for a period not to exceed five (5) working days. If the fee is paid within the five (5) working day period, the employee will return to work the next day.
