Payroll Deduction and Transmittal of Fees. The deduction of the fair share fee by the treasurer of the Board from the payroll check of the bargaining unit member and its payment to the Association after the grace period, shall be automatic and does not require the written authorization of the bargaining unit member. The fee deductions shall be made on the same payroll days that Association dues are deducted, except as modified due to paragraph (a) above. The obligation of the Board to deduct the fee shall cease upon the removal of the bargaining unit member from the Board's active payroll for any reason. Bargaining unit members hired after the beginning of the school year shall be obligated for a pro rata portion of the "fair share fees" after the grace period. The Association shall certify in writing to the treasurer the prorated amount to be deducted for such bargaining unit members. Such fee shall be deducted from the remaining payroll deduction of dues and fees, to the extent funds are available in such paycheck(s). If dues deduction payroll checks have already occurred for the year, the bargaining unit member shall be obligated to make the deduction.
