OSPS E-News ~ Union dues for SEIU to non-SEIU mid-month

[Announcements from OSPS to the users of the Oregon State Payroll Application]

Hello Payroll Professionals,

The topic of how union dues should be handled for SEIU to non SEIU mid-month changes recently came up and OSPS has confirmed with labor relations that the process has not changed.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

The following should occur if an employee transfers from SEIU-represented status to management service mid-month or transfers mid-month from SEIU-represented status to classified unrepresented status:

1)  The 1.7% SEIU dues is, in effect, prorated for the month during which the transfer occurs.  (This occurs as a result of the fact that the 1.7% percentage factor is applied only to the portion of the employee's earnings that are attributable to SEIU-represented status);

2)  The $2.75 additional dues (TDNN), however, is not prorated for the month in which the transfer occurs.  The employee is charged the full $2.75 for that month.

3)  The conversion to associate dues does not occur until the first of the month following the date of transfer.   The agency will begin deducting associate dues (currently $10 per month) starting with the month following the date of transfer.   There should be no deduction of associate dues for the month during which the transfer occurs.

4)  Once the employee is on associate dues, the $2.75 additional dues deduction does not apply.

Thank you,
