Fair Share Fee 1. The Board agrees to automatic payroll deduction, as a condition of employment, of a fair share fee amount as designated by the Association from all bargaining unit members who elect not to become members of the Association, or who elect not to remain members.
2. The Treasurer of the Board shall, upon notification from the Association that a member has terminated membership, commence the check-off of the fair share fee with respect to the former member, and the amount of the fee yet to be deducted shall be the annual membership dues less the amount previously paid through payroll deduction.
3. Payroll deduction of such fair share fee shall commence with the first payroll on or after January 15th of each school year.
4. Dues rates and fair share fee rates shall be transmitted by the Association to the Treasurer of the Board for the purpose of determining amounts to be payroll deducted, and the Board agrees to promptly transmit all amounts deducted to the Association.
5. The Board further agrees to accompany each such transmittal with a list of names of bargaining unit members for whom all such deductions were made, the period covered, and the amounts deducted for each.
6. Upon timely demand, non-members may appeal to the Association the payment of the fair share fee pursuant to the internal rebate procedure adopted by the Association, or such non-members may submit each appeal as provided by law.
7. The amount to be deducted from the pay of all non-Association members shall be the total dues as paid by members of the Association, and such deductions shall continue through the remaining number of payroll periods over which Association membership dues are deducted.
8. The Association agrees to indemnify the Board for any cost of liability incurred as a result of the implementation and enforcement of this provision provided that:
a. The Board shall give a ten (10) day written notice of any claim or action filed against the employer by a non-member for which indemnification may be claimed;
b. The Association shall reserve the right to designate counsel to represent and defend the employer;
c. The Board agrees to 1) give full and complete cooperation and assistance to the Association and its counsel at all levels of the proceeding, 2) permit the Association or its affiliates to intervene as a party if it so desires, and/or 3) not oppose the Association or its affiliates’ application to file an amicus curiae brief in the action;
d. The action brought against the Board must be a direct consequence of the Board’s good faith compliance with the fair share fee provision of the collective bargaining Agreement herein; however, there shall be no indemnification of the Board if the Board intentionally or willfully fails to apply (except due to court order) or misapplies such fair share fee provision herein.
9. The above fair share fee provisions shall be an exclusive right of the Association not granted to any other employee organization seeking to represent employees in the bargaining unit represented by the Association.
10. The Association and its state and national affiliates shall amend their internal rebate procedures to comply with the constitutional requirements of the current law and any subsequent decisions of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Employee Deductions A. Upon receipt of a written authorization voluntarily executed by an employee, the County will deduct monthly Association dues, if any, from the salary of an employee who so requests, and transmit said monies to the Association. The parties shall agree upon the form of the written authorization.
B. The Association shall indemnify and hold the County harmless against any and all claims, demands, costs (including attorneys’ fees), suits, and all forms of liability and damages (including, but not limited to, compensatory, consequential and punitive damages) which arise or may arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the County pursuant to paragraph A above.
Fair Share A. Each bargaining unit member who, as of October 1, fall semester and/or March 1, spring semester, or as a result of late start courses, meets the conditions of Association membership defined in Article I, 1.1 shall, as a condition of employment, join the Adjunct Faculty Association or pay a fair share fee to the Association equivalent to the amount of dues uniformly required of members of the Association, including local, state and national dues. Following the fifth pay period of the Fall and Spring semesters (Payrolls 5 and 15), the Administration will provide the Association a list of all adjunct and part-time faculty who have received teaching assignments. The Association will prepare a list of adjunct and part-time faculty to be given to the College who have either elected to have full (or local only) union dues and fair share fees deducted from their pay. The Adjunct Faculty Association President shall then submit to the Administration a list of adjunct faculty members who meet the conditions of Association membership due to courses that begin prior to Payroll 5 of the fall semester or Payroll 15 of the spring semester. The Association shall notify the Administration as soon as possible of the names of those adjunct faculty members who meet the conditions of Association membership due to late starting courses.
B. The Board shall deduct the fair share fee from the wages of the non-member.
C. Such fee shall be paid to the Association by the Board no later than ten (10) days following deduction.
D. In the event of any legal action against the Employer brought in a court or administrative agency because of its compliance with this Article, the Association agrees to defend such action, at its own expense and through its own counsel, provided:
1. The Employer gives prompt notice of such action in writing to the Association and permits the Association intervention as a party if it so desires, and
2. The Employer gives full and complete cooperation to the Association and its counsel in securing and giving evidence, obtaining witnesses and making relevant information available at both trial and all appellate levels.
E. The Association agrees that in any action so defended, it will indemnify and hold harmless the Employer from any liability for damages and costs imposed by a final judgment of a court or administrative agency as a direct consequence of the Employer’s non-negligent compliance with this Article. It is expressly understood that this hold harmless provision will not apply to any claim, demand, suit or other form of liability which may arise as a result of any type of willful misconduct by the Board or the Board’s imperfect execution of the obligations imposed upon it by this Article.
F. The Association shall certify to the Board the amount of the annual fair share fee, not to exceed the dues uniformly required of members of the Association. The Association acknowledges its obligation to provide non-members with the basis for the calculation of the fair share fee. The Association shall further certify to the Board that “Notice of Fair Share” has been posted in accordance with IELRB rules and regulations. No payroll deduction of fair share fees shall be made until at least fourteen (14) days after such certification. Such fair share payments shall be deducted by the Board on a pro-rata basis from the earnings of the non- members on the same time schedule as Association dues and be paid to the Association. The amount certified by the Association shall not include any fees for contributions related to the election or support of any candidate for political office. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the non-member from making voluntary political contributions in conjunction with his or her fair share payment.
G. This fair share agreement shall safeguard the right of non-association of employees based upon bona fide religious tenets or teaching of a church or religious body of which such employees are members or a belief sincerely held with the strength of traditional religious views. Such employees may be required to pay an amount equal to their fair share under this Agreement to a non-religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee affected and the Association, or if no mutual agreement is reached, from an approved list of charitable organizations established by the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board.
H. Non-members who object to the amount of the fair share fee have the right to file objections with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board.
Earn-Out Payments (i) Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, are the obligors in respect of a portion of the Earn-Out Payment. Subject to Section 7.03(g)(ii), the Earn-Out Payments may be funded in any of the following manners (or any combination thereof) as determined by unanimous Board approval (provided that if unanimous Board approval is not obtained, the WME Member or the Company, as applicable, shall nevertheless be permitted to comply with their respective obligations to the Earn-Out Recipients under the Purchase Agreement): (A) for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, a special cash distribution by the Company to the January Capital Member in consideration of that portion of the Earn-Out Payment due to the January Capital Member, (B) a cash distribution to all Common Members on a pro rata basis to enable the Common Members (other than the Class B Members) to make Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that all such Common Members shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), (C) a special cash distribution by the Company to the WME Member to fund Earn-Out Payments by the WME Member to the Earn-Out Recipients (provided that the WME Member shall be required to make such Earn-Out Payment following receipt of such distribution), and (D) funding by the WME Member (and to the extent agreed to by the Sponsor Members, the Sponsor Members) for Earn-Out Payments to the Earn-Out Recipients.
(ii) The Earn-Out Payments shall be subject to the following rules: (A) Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member will, to the extent permitted under the terms of any indebtedness and Senior Equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Annex A, and to the extent the WME Directors reasonably determine (after meaningful consultation with the full Board) that doing so would not have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, for so long as the January Capital Member is a Member, be distributed by the Company to the January Capital Member (subject, in each case, to clause (B) below) (provided that, for purposes of clarification, the January Capital Member shall not lose or waive its right to receive unpaid Earn-Out Payments solely because it ceases to be a Member; provided further that, if the Company is prohibited under the terms of any indebtedness or Senior Equity of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Annex A, or the Board otherwise determines that doing so would have an adverse impact on the Company or its Subsidiaries, and accordingly does not distribute Earn-Out Payments to the January Capital Member in accordance with this clause (A), then the January Capital Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect in writing to defer the payment of such Earn-Out Payment for a period of up to 24 months (the “Outside Earn-Out Payment Date”); provided further that the deferred Earn-Out Payment will be made to the January Capital Member on the earliest to occur of (A) the date on which the deferred Earn-Out Payment may be made by the Company in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this clause (A), (2) the date specified in writing by the January Capital Member (provided the January Capital Member provides written notice to the WME Member at least 60 days prior to the date on which the January Capital Member would like to receive the deferred Earn-Out Payment if such date is prior to the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date) and (3) the Outside Earn-Out Payment Date, (B) the Class B Members shall be grossed up so that they do not bear the effect of any Dilutive Adjustment (as defined below) or the Economic Cost of any Earn-Out Payments that are funded by distributions by the Company, (C) the Class B Members shall not bear any dilution arising from (x) the issuance of any Units that are issued in connection with the Earn-Out Payments or (y) any adjustment to the exercise price (a “Dilutive Adjustment”) of any securities or other interests convertible into Equity Securities of the Company resulting from any gross-up or true-up payment made in connection with, or that constitutes, any Earn-Out Payment, and (D) if any portion of the Earn-Out Payments are paid pursuant to clause (D) of Section 7.03(g)(i) by the WME Member and, if applicable, any Sponsor Members, the WME Member and such Sponsor Members (if any), will be issued Class A Common Units in respect of the amounts so paid thereby pursuant to such clause (D) at a price to be unanimously determined by the Board, which shall in no event be greater than Fair Market Value; provided, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on the price per Class A Common Unit, such Class A Common Units will be issued at Fair Market Value, as unanimously determined by the Board; provided, further, that if the Board does not unanimously agree on Fair Market Value, such value shall be determined by an investment banking firm of national reputation selected by the WME Member and reasonably acceptable to the SL Member, the KKR Member and the Company, whose expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(iii) Solely for purposes of this Section 7.03(g), “Economic Cost”, means, with respect to a Class B Member, such Member’s direct or indirect Percentage Interest of any Company cash or other Company asset that is distributed in a non-pro rata distribution to fund all or any portion of any Earn-Out Payment; provided, that, “Economic Cost” shall not include any diminution in value, lost profits or similar cost not relating to the immediate economic effect of the applicable non-pro-rata distribution.
Union Dues Deductions It shall be a condition of employment for all Nurses in the Bargaining Unit, that dues be deducted from their bi-weekly salary in the amount determined by the Union.

Catch-Up Contributions In the case of a Traditional IRA Owner who is age 50 or older by the close of the taxable year, the annual cash contribution limit is increased by $1,000 for any taxable year beginning in 2006 and years thereafter.
Salary Deductions Salaried employees (E-level classifications) who are permanently assigned to full-time job classifications are paid on a bi-weekly salary basis. Salaried employees are paid a bi-weekly salary based on a minimum of two (2) forty (40) hour workweeks. The bi-weekly salary received by salaried employees will not be reduced regardless of the number of hours the salaried employee actually works in any week in which the salaried employee performs any work except for the following deductions:
(A) Deductions from a salaried employee's salary may be made for any workweek in which the salaried employee performs no work.
(B) Deductions from a salaried employee's salary may be made when the employee absents himself from work for a full day or days for personal reasons, other than sickness or accident. This provision shall not prevent appropriate deductions from being made from any employee's vacation leave balance pursuant to Article 11 of this Agreement for absences of less than a day for personal reasons, other than sickness or accident.
(C) Deductions from an employee's salary may be made when a salaried employee absents himself from work for a day (or days) for sickness or accident disability in accordance with the provisions of Articles 13 and 14 of this Agreement.

STRS PICK-UP The Board agrees, as a condition of employment, to tax shelter employee contributions to the State Teacher's Retirement System (STRS) in accordance with State Retirement System and Federal Internal Revenue Service guidelines and restrictions. This section in no way implies that the Board will contribute any portion of the employee's share of retirement contributions. For purposes of this paragraph, total annual salary and salary per pay period of each bargaining unit member shall be the salary otherwise payable under this Agreement, as amended. The total annual salary and salary per pay period of each member shall be payable by the Board in two parts: (1) deferred salary and (2) cash salary. A member's deferred salary shall be equal to that percentage of said member's total annual salary or salary per pay period which is required from time to time by the State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) to be paid as an employee contribution by said member as a pickup of the STRS employee contribution otherwise payable by said member. A member's cash salary shall be equal to said member's total annual salary or salary per period less the amount of the pickup for said member and shall be payable, subject to applicable payroll deductions, to said member. The Board's total combined expenditures for members' total annual salaries otherwise payable under this Agreement, as amended, (including pickup amounts) and its employer contributions to STRS shall not be greater than the amounts it would have paid for those items had this provision not been in effect. The Board shall compute and remit its employer contributions to STRS based upon total annual salary, including the "pickup". The Board shall report for Federal and Ohio income tax purposes as a member's gross income said member's total annual salary less the amount of the "pickup". The Board shall report for municipal income tax purposes as a member's gross income said member's total annual salary, including the amount of the pickup. The pickup shall be included in the member's total annual salary for the purpose of computing daily rate of pay, for determining paid salary adjustments to be made due to absence, or for any other similar purpose. The pickup shall apply to all payroll payments made after the effective date of this provision. Should the Board's payment of deferred salary cause an individual bargaining unit member's annuity contributions to exceed the IRS permissible level, any such individual shall have the right to adjust annuity deductions within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this provision.
Dues Deductions Prior to the preparation of the first payroll of the school year, the Association shall indicate to the District, in writing, the dollar amounts of individual dues and assessments of the Southside Education Association, National Education Association, Washington Education Association and Olympic UniServ Council, to be deducted during the school year to follow. These total deductions shall remain unchanged during the school year. The deductions, as indicated above, shall be deducted in twelve (12) equal amounts in paychecks to begin in September and continue through August; provided that the District has received a written authorization form from any such employee who desires to make said deductions; teachers who work less than a full year shall have their deductions pro-rated at one- twelfth (1/12th), of the total amount, for each month they are employed. Amounts may be prorated by the amount of FTE worked as agreed upon and presented in writing by the Southside Education Association. The District shall promptly remit all monies so collected directly to the Washington Education Association with a list of teachers from whom deductions have been made. The District shall notify the Association of any changes in said list due to teachers entering or leaving the employment of the District; such notification shall be before the monthly pay period. If the Association receives an amount for a teacher in excess of the proper amount to be deducted, the Association shall reimburse that teacher for any overcharge in dues. The Association will indemnify, defend and hold the District harmless against any claims, suits, orders, and/or judgments against the District on account of any check-off of Association dues. This dues deduction system is only for the collection of dues and shall not be used for the collection of any Association imposed fines, penalties, or assessments, nor will it be used for the collection of initiation fees or any other type of Association collection of monies. Employees who wish to revoke this deduction authorization may do so upon written notice to the District and the Association. The employee shall provide written notice to the Association and to the District of his/her wish to no longer have dues withheld from his/her paycheck. Teachers who decide to join the Association and currently have no deductions for dues may do so by signing and delivering, by the fifteenth of any month, a payroll deduction or revocation authorization form to the District office. This form shall authorize deduction of membership dues of the Associations (including NEA and WEA) and shall continue in force from year to year unless the teacher submits a written revocation to the District and the Association.
