thirty (30) days after the eligible non-Association member begins employment in a bargaining unit position, unless the eligible non-Association member previously served in a bargaining unit position and continued in the employ of the Board in a non-bargaining unit position, or was on layoff, in which event the deductions will begin with the first paycheck paid after the resumption of the non-Association member’s employment in a bargaining unit position, whichever is later.
Termination of Employment – If an eligible non-Association member who is required to pay an agency shop fee terminates his or her employment with the Board before the Association has received the full amount of the representation fee to which it is entitled under this Article, the Board will deduct the unpaid portion of the fee from the last paycheck paid to said employee during the membership year in questions.
Mechanics – Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the mechanics for the deduction of representation fees and the transmission of such fees to the Association will, as nearly as possible, be the same as those used for the deduction and transmission of regular membership dues to the Association. Said monies together with current records of any corrections, shall be transmitted by the Wildwood Crest Education Association by the 15th of each month following the monthly pay period in which deductions were made, to the extent practical.
Changes – The Association will notify the Board, in writing, of any changes to the lists provided in A:1 and B:1 above and/or the amount of the representation fee, and such changes will be reflected in any deductions made no later than the next full pay period after the Board received said notice.
New Employees – On or about the last day of each month, beginning with the month this Agreement becomes effective, the Association will submit to the Board of Education, a list of all individuals who began their employment in a bargaining unit position during the preceding 30 day period. The list will include names, job titles, and dates of employment for all such individuals and will indicate whether the new employee has joined the Association or will pay a representation fee as an eligible non-Association member.
The Association shall indemnify and hold the employer harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits and other forms of liability, including liability for reasonable counsel fees and other legal costs and expenses that may arise out of, or by reason of, any action taken or not taken by the employer in conformance with this article.
The Association will maintain, and notify all eligible non-Association members in writing of a Demand and Return system as required by law.
