The City shall deduct from each bargaining unit employee's paycheck the total amount of dues certified by the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 per month or per pay period as applicable. The Employer shall immediately remit the total amount deducted, together with a list identifying each employee from whom a deduction was made and their mailing address, to the officer designated in writing by the President of the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 as the person authorized to receive such funds. The President of the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 shall notify the City's Human Resources Department in writing as to the amount of such dues uniformly required of all members of the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955. The Employer will implement any change to a bargaining unit employee's payroll deductions during the first full pay period following notification of such change by the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955. C. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues check -off authorized. When an employee is in a non -pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a non -pay status during only part of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. Thus all other legal and required deductions have priority over union dues. In addition, in order to meet certain accounting deadlines, all payroll changes connected with the deduction of union dues must be made by the fifteenth (15) of the preceding month. D. The PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 may request the City to provide an optional voluntary deduction for members of PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955. Such deduction shall be requested by the member in even dollar amounts. The optional PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 deduction shall be made only from the pay due to employees on the first payday of each calendar month. The member may discontinue the optional PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 deduction at any time by contacting their Union Representative. PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 agrees to refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error. E. The PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings or court orders, or any other liability that may arise out of or by reason of action taken or not taken by the City for the purpose of complying with any of the provisions of this check -off agreement. In addition, the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. However, the PCEA/AFSCME LOCAL 955 shall not be required to make reimbursements should discovery of the error occur twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the error. -5 -
