Association Dues (a) Employees of the City of Reno may authorize payroll deductions for the purpose of paying Association dues. Upon written authorization to the City's Human Resources Department from an employee, the City agrees to deduct on a biweekly basis from the wages of said employee such sums as he/she may specify for United Fund, City of Reno Credit Union, Association Dues, City of Reno Group Insurance Plan, U.S. Savings Bonds, or such other purposes as the City may hereafter approve. No authorization shall be allowed for payment of initiation fees, assessments or fines. Each employee shall have the right to terminate such payroll deductions at any time upon his/her written request to the City's Human Resources Department. (b) The Association will indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any claims made and against any suits instituted against the City on account of any action taken or not taken by the City in good faith under the provisions of this Article. The Association agrees to refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error on account of the payroll deduction provision upon presentation of proper evidence thereof. (c) The employees' earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the appropriate Association dues. When a member in good standing of the Association is in 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 non-pay status during only part of the pay period, and the wages are not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deductions shall be made. In this connection, all other legal and required deductions have priority over Association dues. (d) Within thirty (30) days of signing of this Agreement, the total amount of biweekly payroll deductions for Association dues shall be remitted by the City to the Secretary- Treasurer of the Association by the deposit of said deductions to the designated bank account of the Association. Said deductions shall be deposited within seven (7) working days after the end of the pay period providing the Association's designated bank is a member of the Federal Reserve. If the Association's designated bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve, such deposit shall be made within thirty (30) days after the end of the pay period in question. The Association shall provide thirty (30) days written notice of a change in bank or bank account.
