2658 - Appraisers Union <br />2.3 For current Union members and those who choose to join the Union, the County agrees to <br />deduct Union dues once each month from the pay of bargaining unit employees who authorize <br />the County to do so. The County agrees to continue to do so for such time and on conditions set <br />forth in the authorization for payroll deduction until such time as the Union notifies the <br />Employer that the dues authorization has been properly terminated in compliance with the <br />terms and conditions of the payroll deduction authorization executed by the employee. <br />Authorization for deductions shall be electronic or in writing and filed with the County. <br />2.4 Employees may cancel their payroll deduction by written notice to the Union in accordance with <br />the terms and conditions of their signed payroll authorization card. The Union will provide <br />timely notice to the County of the cancellation of dues authorization by a bargaining unit <br />member. Every effort will be made to end the deduction effective on the first payroll, and not <br />later than the second payroll, after the County's receipt of notice of cancellation from the <br />Union. <br />2.5 When the Employer hires a new employee the Employer shall, as soon as practicable, but <br />preferably prior to the first date of employment, provide the Union representative with the <br />name of the employee, corresponding job title, department, and hire date. A Union official shall <br />be granted up to thirty (30) minutes during an employee's regular work hours to provide each <br />new employee a basic overview of the employees' rights and responsibilities regarding Union <br />membership, dues authorizations, and Union insurance, at no loss of pay to the employee. Prior <br />arrangements must be made to avoid disruption to the department. Should the employee and <br />Union representative determine that more time is needed, they will schedule additional time <br />outside the employees' scheduled work hours. <br />2.6 When provided a Union authorization form furnished by the Union and signed by an employee, <br />the Employer agrees to deduct from the employee's pay, the Union's applicable dues and/or <br />service fees, as prescribed by the Union.
