Common use of Council Rights and Responsibilities Clause in Contracts

Council Rights and Responsibilities. 2.1 Employees may join the Council at any time by completing a membership application. The Board agrees to collect CASE dues from employees who complete a membership application and designate the payroll deduction option. The Council will provide the Office of Payroll with the names and employee identification numbers of employees who request dues deductions. Dues deduction will begin when the Council notifies the Office of Payroll in writing of new Council members. The Council will determine the dues amount on an annual basis and inform the Office of Payroll of the rate(s) and the effective date. Dues deduction remains in effect until revoked by the employee. The employee may withdraw from Council membership by notifying the Council in writing between July 1 and July 20. The letter must be post marked no later than July 20 to be considered valid. The Council will send a membership withdrawal list, for those seeking to withdraw whose dues had been payroll deducted, to the Office of Payroll as soon as possible after withdrawals are received, but no later than July 31. The Office of Payroll will deduct the unpaid balance of dues from the final pay of members who separate from service or the balance of one-half year dues if the employee separates prior to January 1 (for 12 month employee) or February 1 (for 10 month employee). No unpaid balance will be deducted from the employee’s final pay if the separation is due to death, retirement, or an unpaid leave of absence.
