The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues checkoff 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. In this connection, 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 said union dues must be made by the fifteenth (15) of the preceding month.
