contributions of employees - Payroll deduction.

School districts shall make payroll deductions for either or

both professional organization dues and political contributions at

the written request of any school employee and shall transmit

deducted funds to the organization designated by the school district

employee. Such deductions shall be on a ten-month basis unless

otherwise designated by the employee organization. However, a

school employee may request at any time in writing, including by

email or fax, for the school district to immediately terminate or

initiate payroll deductions to a professional organization. Upon

receipt of any written request, the school district shall within

five (5) business days or by the next pay period, whichever is

earlier, terminate or initiate any future payroll deductions of the

requesting school employee to a professional organization. Upon

receipt of a written request, the school district shall notify the

professional organization of the initiation or termination of

payroll deductions within fifteen (15) business days. If the

request is to terminate a deduction, the school district shall not

make any advance payments to any professional organization of any

future dues on behalf of the school employee. No school district

policy or negotiated agreement shall place any other conditions or

requirements, including but not limited to personal hand delivery,

upon any employee to initiate or terminate any payroll deduction to

a professional organization except for a written request as outlined

in this section. Any school district policy or provision in a

negotiated agreement that places additional conditions or

requirements on initiation or termination beyond those outlined in

this section shall be null and void. A school district which fails

to terminate payroll deductions for an employee in accordance with

this section shall immediately reimburse the employee the amount of

all payroll deductions made by the school district after the

employee's request, and the amount due the employee shall double

every thirty (30) days until paid in full.
