Check-Off Procedure. Any additional item and/or issue which would subject itself to the checkoff procedure must first be submitted by the Association, accompanied by notarized endorsement of at least fifty percent (50%) of all eligible members therein, to the President for subsequent consideration of the request. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Board retains the right to accept or deny checkoff authorization not previously herein designated.
Check-Off Procedure. Except as otherwise provided, each member teacher shall authorize in writing the deduction of the total dues within thirty (30) days following the beginning of the school year. A non-member teacher may authorize payroll deduction of his representation fee in accordance with the procedure set forth hereafter. Teacher authorizations for the deduction of the total dues shall identify the teacher, the amount of each deduction, the period for which deductions are to be made, and be signed by each teacher. The Board shall deduct the authorized amount due from each teacher’s pay and transmit the total deductions to the Treasurer of the Association within fifteen (15) days following the deduction, together with a listing of each teacher for whom deductions were made. The deductions of dues shall be made from one regular paycheck each month for ten (10) months, beginning in September. If a teacher does not pay the applicable dues or representation fee to the Association, the Board shall deduct the amount from the teacher’s basic compensation and remit such amount to the Association as authorized under MCLA 408.477. If such involuntary payroll deduction procedure is deemed illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, the board shall, at the written request of the Association, terminate the employment of such teacher at the end of the semester after the teacher has exhausted his/her remedies under the MEA policy and procedures. The parties agree that the failure of any teacher to comply with the provisions of this Article is just cause for discharge from employment.
