The Employer will implement any change to a bargaining unit employee's payroll deductions <br /> during the first full pay period following notification of such change by the Union. <br /> If a bargaining unit employees desires to revoke, cancel or change their prior dues deduction <br /> authorization, the Employer shall direct the employee to the Union. Any such dues deduction <br /> revocation, cancellation and/or change shall be effective only when submitted by the Union to <br /> the Employer and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the original payroll <br /> deduction/authorization. <br /> C. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions <br /> are made to cover the amount of the dues check-off authorized. When an employee is in a <br /> non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover that pay period <br /> from future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a non-pay status during only part <br /> of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction <br /> shall be made. Thus all other legal and required deductions have priority over union dues. In <br /> addition, in order to meet certain accounting deadlines, all payroll changes connected with the <br /> deduction of union dues must be made by the fifteenth(15)of the preceding month. <br /> D. The Union shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, <br /> demands, suits, proceedings or court orders, or any other liability that may arise out of or by <br /> reason of action taken or not taken by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department for the <br /> purpose of complying with any of the provisions of this check-off agreement. In addition,the <br /> Union shall refund to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department any amounts paid to it in <br /> error upon presentation of supporting evidence. However, the Union shall not be required to <br /> make reimbursements should discovery of the error occur twenty-four (24) months after the <br /> occurrence of the error. <br /> 2.2 Communication with Employees <br /> A.
