CHECK-OFF 11.01 Subject to the provisions of this Article, the Employer will, as a condition of employment, deduct an amount equal to the monthly membership dues from the monthly pay of all employees. Where an employee does not have sufficient earnings in respect of any month to permit deductions made under this Article, the Employer shall not be obligated to make such deduction from subsequent salary.
Sick Leave Payoff Employee with accrued, unused sick leave may, at the time of separation, select one of the following options for reimbursement:
DUES CHECK-OFF The Board shall deduct current Union membership dues from the pay of employees whose names are submitted to the Board by the Treasurer of the Union provided that at the time of such deduction there is in the possession of the Board a written authorization for dues deduction executed by the employee. The Union is responsible for providing the Board with a copy of an employee’s written authorization. If changes are made to the written authorization for dues deduction form and a new written authorization is executed by an employee, the Union is responsible for providing the Board with a copy of the new written authorization for the employee. The Board intends to comply with the terms for deduction and revocation, to the extent permissible by law. Each employee’s written authorization shall continue in effect from year to year unless revoked as set forth in the written authorization signed by the employee or until termination of employment, whichever occurs first. In the event an employee revokes his/her authorization for dues deduction, the Union shall notify the Board in writing within seven (7) days of its notice of the employee’s revocation. The Treasurer of the Union or designee shall designate the amount of such deductions and the names of persons to whom such deductions apply to the Board in writing. The Union may change the method or amount of such deductions upon written notice to the Board provided such shall not be changed more than once per fiscal year. The amount specified shall be prorated and deducted from the employee’s paychecks. Term-limited faculty members who become members of the Union will have dues deduction prorated based on the length of the contract. The prorated dues shall be taken in entirety in the semester specified in the term-limited faculty member’s contract. Dues shall be remitted to the Union no later than fourteen (14) days after such deductions have been made. A list of employees from whose pay dues deductions have been made and the amount of each deduction shall accompany each remittance of dues to the Union. The list shall also include the employee’s address, telephone number (if available), and applicable bargaining unit job title. The Union shall refund directly to the Board any monies erroneously deducted and remitted to the Union within fourteen (14) days of the notice of the erroneous deduction. The Union shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Board, its members, agents, employees and representatives, from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or other claims or liability, including attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, that arise out of or by reason of action taken by the Board for the purpose of complying with this Section.
Union Check-Off The Employer agrees to the monthly check-off of all Union Dues, Assessments, Initiation Fees, and written assignments of amounts equal to Union Dues. The check-off monies deducted in accordance with the above paragraph shall be remitted to the Union by the Employer within two (2) weeks of the end of each month. The Employer shall provide the Union's Provincial Office with a list of all employees hired, and all employees who have left the employ of the Employer (who shall be designated as terminated and shall include discharges, resignations, retirements and deaths) in the previous month along with a list of all employees in the bargaining unit and their employee status and the amount of dues or equivalent monies currently being deducted for each employee.
Time Off The company recognises that sufficient time off to attend to personal matters and for recreation are important to the employee’s wellbeing, job satisfaction and overall productivity. Accordingly, time off may be taken with the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In considering the approval to have time off, the Parties will have regard to the current works programme and the urgency of the reason for time off. In the event that time off is to be taken, it will be the employee’s obligation to advise the Company in advance or as soon as practicable on the day of absence, recognising that unplanned absences can cause costly disruption to programmed works and are a major source of annoyance for the company, other employees and clients. The object of offering flexible working hours is that in return employees will take very seriously their obligation to turn up when they are expected. In view of the disruption caused by unplanned and or notified absenteeism, repeated failure to observe the protocol for time off would constitute misconduct.
Accumulated Sick Leave The Employer shall inform all employees at least once each year of the number of sick days accumulated and shall make the information available to an employee on request.
UNION DUES CHECK-OFF On a weekly basis the Employer agrees to deduct uniform dues and initiation fees from the paycheck of those covered employees whose individual written unrevoked authorizations are on file with the Employer and to transmit the amounts so deducted to the Union monthly. Said deduction authorizations shall be in such form as to conform with Section 302(c) of the Labor Management Relations Act of 1947.
Sick Leave Cash Out Eligible employees may elect to receive monetary compensation for accrued sick leave as follows: In January of each year an employee whose sick leave balance at the end of the previous year exceeds four hundred eighty (480) hours may elect to convert the sick leave hours earned in the previous calendar year, minus those hours used during the year, to monetary compensation. No sick leave hours may be converted which would reduce the calendar year end balance below four hundred eighty (480) hours. Monetary compensation shall be paid at the rate of twenty-five percent and shall be based on the employee’s current salary. All converted hours will be deducted from the sick leave balance. Employees who separate from University service due to retirement or death shall be compensated for the unused sick leave accumulation from the date of most recent hire in a leave eligible position with the State of Washington at the rate of 25%. Compensation shall be based upon the employee’s wage at the time of separation. For the purpose of this section, retirement shall not include vested out of service employees who leave funds on deposit with the retirement system. Former eligible employees who are re-employed within three (3) years of their separation from service shall be granted all unused sick leave credits, if any, to which they are entitled at time of separation.
Paid Sick Leave Employees shall earn and be granted paid sick leave according to the following provisions:
Sick Leave Buy Back To encourage and reward employees who maintain good job attendance, the parties agree to the following incentive award: Employees who utilize two (2) sick leave days or less each assigned school calendar year and year-round employees who utilize three (3) sick leave days or less during each assigned school calendar year - upon request – shall receive payment for up to eight (8) days of sick leave, provided the employee worked the full assigned calendar year.* The following procedures apply to the payment of sick leave under this section.
