Employees within the bargaining unit who do not authorize a deduction for Union dues may pay a service fee to the Union. During the term of this agreement, the Employer agrees to deduct a service fee on a bi-weekly basis from Employees who have provided written authorization of deduction.

The Employer shall not be responsible for the deduction of regular Union dues or service fees for any period of time when the Employee is not employed as or does not have earnings as a member of the bargaining unit. In the event that the payroll deductions are processed incorrectly for an Employee, the Employer shall be responsible for correcting the error within 10 business days of being informed of the error by either the Employee or the Union. The Employer shall also be responsible for collecting (through withholding) the missed or incorrect dues from the Employee for (1) the current semester and (2) the immediately preceding semester, for an Employee still being paid as an Employee, provided that withholding of past dues shall in no event reduce an Employee’s take-home pay below zero.

B. During the term of this Agreement, all employees shall pay either the monthly membership dues of the Union or the appropriate service fee, not to exceed the amount of the dues uniformly required of members of the Union.

The Union shall also certify to the representation service fees to be deducted. These amounts so certified and deducted shall be forwarded to the Union, provided that if an employee objects to the appropriate amount of the service fee, the amount of the deduction contested shall be placed in an escrow account as required by law until a determination of the appropriate amount of the deduction has been determined. A bargaining unit member contesting the appropriate amount of service fee assessed by the Union and to be deducted under the provisions of this Article must first exhaust the Union's administrative procedures in this context.
