Common use of PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS AND DUES Clause in Contracts

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS AND DUES. Payroll deductions as may be properly requested and lawfully permitted will be deducted from each employee’s pay check by the Controller biweekly, in twenty-four (24) increments annually from the salary of each employee in the unit where the Union has provided in writing to the Controller a list or individual notice of those individuals from whom Union-related deduction(s) should be lawfully taken. This list or notice shall constitute certification by the Union that the Union has and will maintain an authorization signed by the individual employee or employees from whose salary or wages the deductions are to be taken. Any amendment may be made by the Union in a complete list or individually. Remittance of the aggregate amount of all dues and other proper deductions made from the salaries of employees hereunder shall be made to the Union by the City Controller within thirty (30) work days after the conclusion of the payroll period in which said dues and/or deductions were deducted. For each pay period, the City Controller shall provide the Union with an electronic report itemizing each deduction for each employee. A fee of nine cents ($.09) per deduction may be assessed by the City Controller for the processing of each payroll deduction taken. The City Controller will deduct the aggregate amount of said fees on a biweekly basis. Such fee shall not be applicable to health benefits provided by UFLAC or the Los Angeles Firemen's Relief Association or to dental, life insurance and long-term disability insurance benefits provided by UFLAC. Except for errors caused by the City, the Union agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City for any loss or damages arising from the operation of this Article.
