All employees in the unit who have not authorized an Union dues deduction shall within the thirty (30) day period following notification of their obligation under this agreement execute an authorization for the payroll deduction of one of the following: (1) Union dues; (2) an agency fee in an amount not to exceed the standard initiation fee, periodic dues, and general assessments of the organization; or (3) if he/she qualifies, a charity fee equal to the agency fee to a tax-exempt charitable organization that has been agreed to. To qualify for the designated charity fee deduction, an employee must certify to the Union that he/she is a member of a bona fide religion, body or sect which has historically held conscientious objections to joining or. financially supporting public employee organizations. Such exempt unit employees will be required to submit to the Union a notarized letter certifying that person's membership in such a religion, body or sect, signed by an official of the bona fide religion, body or sect. If an employee fails to authorize one of the deductions, the City will deduct the agency fee amount from the employee's paycheck. 2. Forfeiture of Deductions If the balance of an employee's wages, after all other involuntary and insurance premium deductions are made in any one pay period, is not sufficient to pay deductions by this article, no such deductions shall be made for that period. 3. Financial Documentation a) The Union shall, within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year, make available to the City financial documentation, which shall meet the requirements of Government Code section 3502.2. b) The City agrees to provide the Union the name, department, class, and payroll deduction status of all unit employees on a monthly basis. 3
