Common use of Union Security and Rights Clause in Contracts

Union Security and Rights. Section 2.1. Dues Checkoff While this Agreement is in effect, the Village will deduct from each employee's pay check once each pay period an amount no more than the appropriate portion of the regular monthly Union dues for each employee in the bargaining unit for whom there is on file with the Village a voluntary, effective checkoff authorization in the form set forth in Appendix A of this Agreement. The amounts so deducted shall be forwarded monthly by the Village within twenty (20) calendar days of the deduction, to the Union at the address designated by the Union, together with a list of names (and amounts) for whom deductions have been made. The actual amount deducted, as determined by the Union, shall be the same amount for each employee in order to ease the Employer's burden of administering this provision. If the employee has no earnings due for that pay period, or if the employee is on disability or receiving workers' compensation, the Union shall be responsible for collecting said dues. The Union agrees to refund to the employee any amount paid to the Union in error on account of this dues deduction provision. The Union may change the fixed, uniform dollar amount, which shall be considered the regular monthly dues once each year during the life of this Agreement.
