(Approved by the President per delegation of authority Executive Order No. 9)
The following guidelines are established for use in determining when requests for authorization and revocation of payroll deductions will be granted by the University for union dues and fees. It is the responsibility of the Vice President for Human Resources to evaluate each request for a payroll deduction plan in light of the following guidelines.
This policy pertains to University employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement who may pay dues and/or fees in conjunction with the collective bargaining agreement.
Subject to all applicable laws and regulations, payroll dues deduction for employees in certified bargaining units is permitted in accordance with the following:
If the employer receives a request directly from an employee for authorization of deductions, the University shall as soon as practicable forward the request to the exclusive bargaining representative.
Upon receiving notice of the employee's authorization from the exclusive bargaining representative, the University shall deduct membership dues from the employee's salary and remit the amounts to the exclusive bargaining representative.
The employee’s authorization for dues deduction remains in effect until expressly revoked by the employee in accordance with following:
After the University receives confirmation from the exclusive bargaining representative that the employee has revoked authorization for deductions, the University shall end the deduction no later than the second payroll after receipt of the confirmation.
If the University and the exclusive bargaining representative enter into a collective bargaining agreement that includes requirements for deductions of other payments, the University shall make such deductions upon written authorization of the employee.
