Resolution 07684CITY OF ALAMEDA RESOLUTION NO, 7684
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 7477 BY ADDING SECTION 10, "RULE 8,"
THERETO, AUTHORIZING DUES CHECK-OFF FOR EMPLOYEE ORGANIZATIONS
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ALAMEDA that Resolution No. 7477, adopted
May 20, 1969, be and hereby is amended by adding a new Section 10 - Rule 8, thereto, to read:
”Section 10. RULE 8 - DUES CHECK-OFF
Only a formally recognized employee organization (that is, the majority repre-
sentatives of employees in an appropriate unit) may be granted permission by the Municipal
Employee Relations Officer to have the regular dues of its members deducted from their
paychecks, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Municipal Employee Relations
Officer. Provided, however, this shall not preclude the continuation of dues check-off
heretofore granted to any employee organization.
Dues deduction shall be for a specified amount and shall be made only upon the
voluntary written authorization of the member. Dues deduction authorization may be can-
celled and the dues check-off payroll discontinued at any time by the member upon voluntary
written notice to the Municipal Employee Relations Officer. Dues deduction authorization
or cancellation shall be made upon forms provided by the Municipal Employee Relations Officer.
Dues deduction may be continued only upon voluntary written authorization of the member for
a period of time not to exceed one year. Employee payroll deduction authorizations shall be
in uniform amounts for dues deductions.
The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required
deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues check-off authorized. When a member in
good standing of the formally recognized employee organization is in a nonpay status for an
entire pay period, no dues withholding will be made to cover that pay period from future
earnings nor will the member deposit the amount with the City which would have been withheld
if the member had been in a pay status during that period. In the case of an employee who
is in a nonpay status during only a part of the pay period and the salary is not sufficient
to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. In this connection, all other
legal and required deductions have priority over employee organization dues.
Dues withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the officer designated in writing
by the employee organization as the person authorized to receive such funds, at the address
specified.
All employee organizations who receive dues check-off shall indemnify, defend, and
hold the City harmless against any claims made and against any suit instituted against the
City on account of check-off of employee organization dues. In addition, all such employee
organizations shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of
supporting evidence."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall be in force and become effective on
January 1, 1971.
