Checkoff Clause Examples
The CHECKOFF clause authorizes an employer to automatically deduct certain amounts, such as union dues or other agreed-upon fees, from employees' wages. In practice, this means that with employee consent, the employer regularly withholds these payments and remits them directly to the designated organization, such as a labor union. This arrangement streamlines the collection process, ensures timely payments, and reduces administrative burdens for both employees and unions, ultimately facilitating consistent funding and compliance with collective bargaining agreements.
