Service Fee - Each employee covered by this Agreement who is hired on or after July 1, 1995, who fails voluntarily to acquire or maintain membership in the Union, shall be required to pay to OAPSE a service fee, which shall not exceed the dues paid by members of OAPSE who are in the bargaining unit covered by this Agreement; provided that any employee who has been declared exempt for religious convictions by the State Employment Relations Board (SERB) shall not be required to pay said fee. However, such employee shall pay, in lieu of such fee, on the same time schedule as Union dues are payable an amount of money equal to such fee to a non-religious charitable fund exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, mutually agreed upon by such employee and the OAPSE state treasurer. Such employee shall furnish to the OAPSE state treasurer written receipts evidencing payment to such agreed upon non-religious fund. The provisions of this Article shall be explained to the employee at the time of the hiring interview. A written statement explaining the Service Fee shall be provided, by the Board, at the time of hire. The provisions of the service fee shall not be applicable to new hires until completion of their first sixty (60) calendar days of employment or to any employees exempt from the bargaining unit by virtue of being supervisory, managerial, confidential or casual employees. The Union shall adopt an internal rebate procedure in accordance with Section 4117.09(c) of the Ohio Revised Code which complies with Federal law.

UNION DUES CHECK-OFF On a weekly basis the Employer agrees to deduct uniform dues and initiation fees from the paycheck of those covered employees whose individual written unrevoked authorizations are on file with the Employer and to transmit the amounts so deducted to the Union monthly. Said deduction authorizations shall be in such form as to conform with Section 302(c) of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947.
Agency Shop It is mutually agreed by the parties that this Unit is an agency shop Unit. It is the intent of the parties that the agency shop provisions in the Memorandum of Understanding comply with applicable state law (Government Code Section 3502.5).
Dues Checkoff The Employer agrees to deduct from the pay of all employees covered by this Agreement the initiation fees, dues and/or uniform assessments of the Local Union having jurisdiction over such employees. The Local Union will electronically provide the Employer a weekly amount to be deducted from each employee. The Local Union will individually specify the weekly amount to be deducted for initiation fees, union dues and/or assessments. For initiation fees and assessments, the Local Union will notify the Employer the number of weeks these deductions are to be taken from the employee. Notification of deductions to be made by the Employer for the benefit of the Local Union must be received at least one (1) month prior to the date the deduction is to be made. The obligation of the Local Union to provide this information shall be satisfied by the transmission of a computer file in mutually agreeable format. The Employer shall make no deductions that are not listed on the Local Union’s monthly or weekly checkoff statement in those locations which send a checkoff statement to the Employer. In the event the Employer improperly deducts too much dues money, the amount improperly withheld shall be remitted to the involved employee(s) on the second (2nd) scheduled workday following notification to the Employer. The Local Union(s) shall return any overpayment(s) to the Employer within one (1) week following written notification from the Employer. The Employer will provide a remittance to the Local Union within fifteen (15) days following the check date the deduction was taken. With each remittance, the Employer shall submit a report listing all employees alphabetically with their social security number and job classification. For those employees who had no deduction for the week, the Employer will provide a reason. In the event the Local Union does not want to receive a weekly remittance, the Employer will provide a monthly remittance by the fifteenth (15th) day of the following month. However, if this option is chosen, the Employer will still make weekly deductions as described above. Where law requires written authorization by the employee, the same is to be furnished in the form required. No deduction shall be made which is prohibited by applicable law. The Employer agrees to deduct from the paycheck of all employees covered by this Agreement voluntary contributions to DRIVE. DRIVE shall notify the Employer of the amounts designated by each contributing employee that are to be deducted from his/her paycheck on a weekly basis for all weeks worked. The phrase "weeks worked" excludes any week other than a week in which the employee earned a wage. The Employer shall transmit to DRIVE National Headquarters on a monthly basis, in one (1) check, the total amount deducted along with the name of each employee on whose behalf a deduction is made, the employee's Social Security number and the amount deducted from that employee's paycheck. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters shall reimburse the Employer annually for the Employer's actual cost for the expenses incurred in administering the weekly payroll deduction plan. The Employer agrees to deduct certain specific amounts each week from the wages of those employees who shall have given the Employer written notice to make such deductions. The Employer will remit amounts deducted to the applicable credit union once each week. The amount so deducted shall be remitted to the applicable credit union once each month or weekly. The Employer shall not make deductions and shall not be responsible for remittance to the credit union for any deductions for those weeks during which the employee's earnings shall be less than the amount authorized for deductions.
Request for Dues Check Off Employees shall have the right to request and be allowed dues check off for the Exclusive Representative, provided that dues check off and the proceeds thereof shall not be allowed any employee organization that has lost its right to dues check off pursuant to the PELRA Upon receipt of a properly executed authorization card of the employee involved, the District will deduct from the employee’s paycheck the dues as specified by the Union.
Union Check-Off The Employer agrees to the monthly check-off of all Union Dues, Assessments, Initiation Fees, and written assignments of amounts equal to Union Dues. The check-off monies deducted in accordance with the above paragraph shall be remitted to the Union by the Employer within two (2) weeks of the end of each month. The Employer shall provide the Union's Provincial Office with a list of all employees hired, and all employees who have left the employ of the Employer (who shall be designated as terminated and shall include discharges, resignations, retirements and deaths) in the previous month along with a list of all employees in the bargaining unit and their employee status and the amount of dues or equivalent monies currently being deducted for each employee.
Agency Cross Transactions From time to time, the Advisor or brokers or dealers affiliated with it may find themselves in a position to buy for certain of their brokerage clients (each an "Account") securities which the Advisor's investment advisory clients wish to sell, and to sell for certain of their brokerage clients securities which advisory clients wish to buy. Where one of the parties is an advisory client, the Advisor or the affiliated broker or dealer cannot participate in this type of transaction (known as a cross transaction) on behalf of an advisory client and retain commissions from one or both parties to the transaction without the advisory client's consent. This is because in a situation where the Advisor is making the investment decision (as opposed to a brokerage client who makes his own investment decisions), and the Advisor or an affiliate is receiving commissions from both sides of the transaction, there is a potential conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities on the Advisor's part regarding the advisory client. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a rule under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, which permits the Advisor or its affiliates to participate on behalf of an Account in agency cross transactions if the advisory client has given written consent in advance. By execution of this Agreement, the Trust authorizes the Advisor or its affiliates to participate in agency cross transactions involving an Account. The Trust may revoke its consent at any time by written notice to the Advisor.
Agency Service Fee As a condition of employment during the term of this Agreement, every member of the bargaining unit who is not also a member of the Association shall pay or by payroll deduction shall have paid to the said Association an agency service fee that shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the then current rate of dues payable by a member of the said Association; provided, however, that no such payment or deduction shall include any amount that represents a cost not related by the provisions of Section 3 of Article IX of the Rules and Regulations Relating to the Administration of Chapter 150E of the General Laws as such rules and regulations have been promulgated, and as they may be amended from time to time by the Department of Labor Relations (DLR). Such fee so required to be paid shall be payable on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the beginning of employment of such member of the bargaining unit or on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the effective date of this Agreement, whichever shall be later. Such fee may be paid by payroll deduction if so authorized pursuant to an Agency Service Fee Deduction Authorization; provided, however, that such authorization shall be deemed to have effect only with respect to such sum as is herein provided. Any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, every unit member who shall have failed to fulfill the condition of employment as is herein prescribed shall be subject to immediate dismissal and shall be so dismissed by the Employer with effect no later than the end of the semester during which the Employer shall have acted to dismiss the unit member in accordance with the provisions of this Article; provided, however, that such dismissal shall be effected by notice promptly issued by the Employer or its designee to such unit member after the Association shall have notified the President that such unit member has not fulfilled the condition herein prescribed. The said notice shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall give such unit member fourteen (14) days from the date of its receipt to fulfill the said condition. Within the said fourteen (14) days, the Employer or its designees shall grant such unit member such opportunity to respond to the said notice as the Employer may from time to time prescribe for the purposes of this provision. Whenever such unit member shall not have fulfilled the condition herein prescribed within the said fourteen (14) days, the Employer shall act to dismiss the unit member at its meeting next following the expiration of the said fourteen (14) days; provided, however, that the Employer need not so act if such unit member fulfills the said condition prior to the date of such meeting. The Association shall reimburse the Employer for any expenses incurred as a result of being ordered to reinstate an employee terminated at the request of the Association for not paying the agency fee. The Association shall intervene in and defend any administrative or court litigation with respect to any unit member's refusal or failure to pay the agency service fee, including, but not limited to, actions or claims arising from an employee's termination or dismissal. In such litigation, the Employer shall have no obligation to defend the Association and the Association shall indemnify and hold the Employer harmless from any loss occasioned by such litigation. Any unit member who pays an agency service fee may on request obtain a rebate of part of that unit member’s agency service fee in accordance with General Laws, Chapter 150E, Section 12, and Association procedures.
