DUES AND REPRESENTATION FEES. 11.1 Within five (5) days of execution of this Agreement or by September 10, whichever date comes last, the Association shall give written notice to the District of the dollar amount of dues required for Association membership and of representation fees. 11.2 Within ten (10) days of commencement of employment or the beginning of the school year, whichever date is later, each employee, with the exception of substitute employment, shall sign and deliver to the District an assignment of wages authorizing payroll deduction of Association dues or representation fees. Receipt of such individual assignment shall be a condition precedent to the District's obligation to deduct and transmit to the Association dues and representation fees. 11.3 If an employee fails to submit such assignment of wages within the above-stated time limits or if an employee revokes such assignment pursuant to Section 11.9 below, the District agrees to deduct from the salary of said employee a representation fee equivalent to the dues required for Association membership and to transmit such fee to the Association. 11.4 Employees who choose to pay Association dues by means other than payroll deduction shall do so within the above-stated time limits; the Association shall then notify the District about said employees whose pay shall not be subject to Association membership dues deduction. 11.5 The right of non-association of employees based on bona fide religious tenets or teachings of a church or religious body of which the employee is a member shall be recognized. Each such employee shall pay an amount of money equivalent to regular dues and fees to a nonreligious charity or to another charitable organization as mutually agreed upon by the employee affected and the Association. The employee shall furnish the District written proof that such payment has been made. If the employee and the Association do not reach agreement on the charitable organization, they shall submit the matter to the Public Employment Relations Commission, which body shall designate the charitable organization; the Association shall then notify the District of that designation. 11.6 Association membership dues or representation fees shall be deducted from each employee's pay beginning with the pay period for September and transmitted to the Association as provided by Section 11.8 below, unless 11.4 or 11.5 applies. 11.7 Dues and representation fees deductions for employees who commence contracted service after the beginning of the school year or who terminate before June shall be prorated at one-twelfth (1/12) of the total annual Association dues and representation fees for each month served. 11.8 The District shall transmit to the Association on a monthly basis the membership dues and representation fees from employees which have been deducted in accordance with this Agreement, using those forms provided by the Association, which may appoint for purposes of membership dues, representation fees, and insurance premiums collection by an Association affiliate. It is understood and expressly agreed that payment of such amounts shall not constitute District recognition of said affiliate as bargaining representative for employees, but shall merely authorize the District to pay such amounts to the Association affiliate as collection agent for the Association. 11.9 An assignment of wages authorizing payroll deduction of Association dues or representation fees shall continue in effect from year to year unless the employee submits a written revocation to the District and the Association between August 15 and September 30 in the school year for which the revocation is to take effect.
