(Ord 3361: 09/05)

a.All recognized employee organizations shall have the right to have the regular dues of their members deducted from their paychecks at no cost. Dues deductions shall be made only upon the voluntary written authorization of the member. Dues deduction may be cancelled at any time by the member on written notice. This section may be superseded by a memorandum of Understanding provision.

b.All notices shall be to the Finance Director of the City on forms provided or approved by the City. The Finance Director shall regularly remit the amounts collected to the recognized employee organizations. The records of the City concerning those employees who have requested deduction and the amounts collected shall be open for inspection by the authorized members of the employee organizations at reasonable times.

c.The City shall have no obligation to deduct back or unpaid dues, nor any fine, penalty or special assessment levied by the employee organizations against their members. The City shall have no obligation to deduct dues where the employee’s net earning during the pay period for which dues are deductible are insufficient to pay the dues. Net earnings means the amount payable by the City to an employee for a particular pay period after all lawful deductions.

d.All employee organizations which receive dues checkoff shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless against any suit brought against the City on account of checkoff of employee organization dues. In addition, all such employee organizations shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence.
