Member’s Check-off Clause Samples
The Member’s Check-off clause authorizes an employer to automatically deduct union dues or other agreed-upon fees from employees’ wages and remit them directly to the union. In practice, this means that once an employee provides written consent, the employer regularly withholds the specified amount from each paycheck and forwards it to the union, ensuring consistent and timely payment of dues. This clause streamlines the dues collection process, reduces administrative burdens for the union, and helps maintain union funding by minimizing missed or late payments.
