Common use of Fair Share Deduction Clause in Contracts

Fair Share Deduction. 5 Where a fair share agreement is authorized in a referendum certified by the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, the Employer agrees to deduct the “fair share” charge for the cost of the collective bargaining process and contract administration, as certified by the Union, from the earnings of the employees in the bargaining unit. Deductions for an employee may be one (1) of two (2) amounts, depending on whether the employee is more than half-time or half-time or less. The Employer will remit all such deductions and a list of employees who had such deduction to the Union Treasurer within ten (10) days after the payday covering the pay period of deduction. The list will include the departments, names, and amounts deducted. The Union shall provide the Employer thirty (30) days advance notice, in writing, of any changes in the certified Union dues deduction amount. Changes in deduction amounts shall be made effective at the start of an “A” pay period.
