ASSOCIATION DUES AND SALARY CHECK-OFF PRIVILEGES. 1. Employees may authorize payroll deductions for the purpose of paying Association dues. The City agrees to deduct from the employee wages, on a bi-weekly basis, such sums as the employee may specify. No authorization shall be allowed for payment of initiation fees, assessments or fines. Each employee shall have the right to terminate such payroll deductions at the end of any payroll period upon timely execution of the proper payroll document filed with Payroll.
2. The Association will indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any claims made and against any suits instituted against the City on account of any action taken or not taken by the City in good faith under the provisions of this Article. The Association agrees to refund to the City any amounts paid to them in error due to the payroll deduction provision upon presentation of proper evidence thereof.
3. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the appropriated Association dues. When a member in good standing of the Association is in non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in non-pay status during only part of the pay period, and the wages are not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deductions shall be made. In this connection, all other legal and required deductions have priority over Association dues.
