Failure to Pay Fee. In the event an employee subject to the service fee payment requirement has previously failed to pay the total amount of fees due, the State will automatically deduct, as permitted by law, from the employee’s pay the arrears due to the Union in an amount which, in combination with the service fee due per pay period, equals ten percent (10%) of the employee’s gross pay until the arrears are paid in full, provided, however, that an employee may request the Union for a reduction in the percentage deducted for payment of arrears based on demonstrated financial hardship, which may be granted at the Union’s discretion. The Union must certify to the State the name of any employee whose request is granted and the amount of the percentage to be deducted for payment of arrears. The State has no obligation, in the event an employee fails to pay service fees or dues, to impose any adverse action (including dismissal) against any such employee.
