Termination of Deduction The University's responsibility for deducting dues and other authorized deductions from an employee's salary shall terminate automatically upon either (a) thirty (30) days written notice from the employee to the University, and to the UFF revoking that employee's prior deduction authorization, or (b) the transfer of the authorizing employee out of the bargaining unit.
Dues Deductions Prior to the preparation of the first payroll of the school year, the Association shall indicate to the District, in writing, the dollar amounts of individual dues and assessments of the Southside Education Association, National Education Association, Washington Education Association and Olympic UniServ Council, to be deducted during the school year to follow. These total deductions shall remain unchanged during the school year. The deductions, as indicated above, shall be deducted in twelve (12) equal amounts in paychecks to begin in September and continue through August; provided that the District has received a written authorization form from any such employee who desires to make said deductions; teachers who work less than a full year shall have their deductions pro-rated at one- twelfth (1/12th), of the total amount, for each month they are employed. Amounts may be prorated by the amount of FTE worked as agreed upon and presented in writing by the Southside Education Association. The District shall promptly remit all monies so collected directly to the Washington Education Association with a list of teachers from whom deductions have been made. The District shall notify the Association of any changes in said list due to teachers entering or leaving the employment of the District; such notification shall be before the monthly pay period. If the Association receives an amount for a teacher in excess of the proper amount to be deducted, the Association shall reimburse that teacher for any overcharge in dues. The Association will indemnify, defend and hold the District harmless against any claims, suits, orders, and/or judgments against the District on account of any check-off of Association dues. This dues deduction system is only for the collection of dues and shall not be used for the collection of any Association imposed fines, penalties, or assessments, nor will it be used for the collection of initiation fees or any other type of Association collection of monies. Employees who wish to revoke this deduction authorization may do so upon written notice to the District and the Association. The employee shall provide written notice to the Association and to the District of his/her wish to no longer have dues withheld from his/her paycheck. Teachers who decide to join the Association and currently have no deductions for dues may do so by signing and delivering, by the fifteenth of any month, a payroll deduction or revocation authorization form to the District office. This form shall authorize deduction of membership dues of the Associations (including NEA and WEA) and shall continue in force from year to year unless the teacher submits a written revocation to the District and the Association.
Deduction of Dues The Company shall deduct from the pay period which contains the twentieth (20th) day of the month, from wages due and payable to each employee coming within the scope of this Collective Agreement, an amount equivalent to the uniform monthly union dues of the Union, subject to the conditions and exceptions set forth hereunder.
31.01 The amount to be deducted shall be equivalent to the regular dues payment of the Union and shall not include initiation fees or special assessments. The amount to be deducted shall not be changed during the term of the Agreement excepting to conform with a change in the amount of regular dues of the Union in accordance with its constitutional provisions.
31.02 Membership in the Union shall be available to any employee eligible under the constitution of the Union on payment of the initiation or reinstatement fee uniformly required of all other such applicants by the Local Lodge. Membership shall not be denied for reasons of race, national origin, color, religion, sex or marital status.
31.03 Deductions shall commence on the first pay period which contains the twentieth (20th) day of the month in the month employment last commences in a position covered by this Agreement or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by the Company and the Union, subject to the provisions of Clauses 31.04 and 31.05.
31.04 If the wages of an employee payable on the payroll for the last pay period of any month are insufficient to permit the deduction of the full amount of dues, no such deductions shall be made from the wages of such employee by the Company in such month. The Company shall not, because the employee did not have sufficient wages payable to her on the designated payroll, carry forward and deduct from any subsequent wages the dues not deducted in an earlier month.
31.05 Only payroll deductions now or hereafter required by law, deduction of monies due or owing the Company, pension deductions and deductions of provident funds shall be made from wages prior to the deduction of dues.
31.06 The amounts of dues so deducted from wages accompanied by a statement of deductions from individuals, shall be remitted by the Company to the Union as may be mutually agreed by the Union and the Company, not later than twenty-one (21) calendar days following the pay period in which the deductions are made.
31.07 The Company shall not be responsible financially or otherwise, either to the Union or to any employee for any failure to make deductions or for making improper or inaccurate deductions or remittances. However, in any instance in which an error occurs in the amount of any deduction of dues from an employee's wages the Company shall adjust it directly with the employee. In the event of any mistake by the Company in the amount of its remittance to the Union, the Company shall adjust the amount in a subsequent remittance. The Company's liability for any and all amounts deducted pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall terminate at the time it remits the amounts payable to the Union.
31.08 The question of what, if any, compensation shall be paid the Company by the Union in recognition of services performed under this Agreement shall be left in abeyance subject to reconsideration at the request of either party on fifteen (15) days' notice in writing.
31.09 In the event of any action at law against the parties hereto resulting from any deduction or deductions from payrolls made or to be made by the Company pursuant to this Article of this Agreement, all parties shall cooperate fully in the defense of such action. Each party shall bear its own cost of such defense except that if at the request of the Union, counsel fees are incurred these shall be borne by the Union. Save as aforesaid, the Union shall indemnify and save harmless the Company from any losses, damages, costs, liability or expenses suffered or sustained by it as a result of any such deduction or deductions from payrolls.
Other Deductions Voluntary payroll deductions made to the Union for employee benefits will be submitted at the same time as regular dues deductions. No later than the fifteenth (15th) of each month, the Union shall receive a benefit register for each benefit listing each employee, the amount deducted, and the purpose of the deduction.
Return of Distributions In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to ARTICLE IV shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.
Other Payroll Deductions Upon appropriate written authorization from the employee, the Board shall deduct from the salary of any employee and make appropriate remittance for annuities, credit union, savings bonds, insurance, or any other plans or programs approved by the parties.
