Fair Share Fee In accordance with PELRA, any employee included in the appropriate unit who is not a member of the Association may be required by the Association to contribute a fair share fee for services rendered as exclusive representative. The fair share fee for any employee shall be in an amount equal to the regular membership dues of the Association, less the cost of benefits financed through the dues and available only to members of the Association but in no event shall the fee exceed 85% of the regular membership dues. The Association shall provide written notice of the amount of the fair share fee assessment to the Commissioner, the school district, and to each employee to be assessed the fair share fee. A challenge by an employee or by a person aggrieved by the assessment shall be filed in writing with the Director, the school district, and the Association within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notices. All challenges shall specify those portions of the assessment challenged and the reasons therefor but the burden of proof relating to the amount of the fair share fee shall be on the Association. The school district shall deduct the fee from the earnings of the employee and transmit the fee to the Association thirty (30) days after the written notice was provided, or, in the event a challenge is filed, the deductions for a fair share fee shall be held in escrow by the school district pending a decision by the Commissioner or Court. Any fair share challenge shall not be subject to the grievance procedure. The Association hereby warrants and covenants that it will defend, indemnify and save the school district harmless from any and all actions, suits, claims, damages, judgements, and executions or other forms of liability, liquidated or unliquidated, which any person may have or claim to have, now or in the future, arising out of or by reason of the deduction of the fair share fee specified by the Association as provided herein.
