- Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 5.01, the Employer will deduct from the gross earnings of each Employee covered by this Collective Agreement an amount equal to the dues as specified by the Union, provided the deduction formula is compatible with the accounting system of the Employer. Such deductions shall be forwarded to the Union, not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the month following and shall be accompanied by a list showing the name and classification and category [regular, temporary, casual (including Employees on recall)] of the Employees from whom deductions have been taken and the amount of the deductions and gross earnings of each Employee. Such list shall indicate newly hired and terminated Employees, and, where the existing computer system is capable, status of Employees, the increment level, Employees reclassified, promoted or transferred outside the scope of this Collective Agreement, and address of Employees.
- For the purposes of this Article, “gross earnings” shall mean all monies paid by the Employer and earned by an Employee under the terms of this Collective Agreement.
- If possible, the Employer will provide the monthly dues as outlined in Article 5.02(a), in electronic form.
- The Union agrees to indemnify and save the Employer harmless from any form of liability arising from or as a result of the deduction of authorized dues, fees or as a result of the deduction of authorized dues, fees or assessments, unless caused by Employer error. Where an adjustment is necessary to correct an over or under payment of dues, the Employer will effect it in the succeeding month.
- The Employer shall advise new Employees with the fact that a Collective Agreement is in effect and introduce a new Employee to their Local Unit Executive so that they can be advised of the terms and conditions set out in the Agreement.
- The Employer will record the amount of individual dues deducted on T4 slips issued for income tax purposes.
