88167
. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the governing
board of each community college district, when drawing an order for
the salary or wage payment due to a classified employee of the
district, may, without charge, reduce the order by the amount which
it has been requested in a revocable written authorization by the
employee to deduct for the payment of dues in, or for any other
service provided by, any bona fide organization, of which the
employee is a member, whose membership consists, in whole or in part,
of employees of that district, and which has, as one of its
objectives, improvements in the terms or conditions of employment for
the advancement of the welfare of those employees.
The revocable written authorization shall remain in effect until
expressly revoked in writing by the employee. Whenever there is an
increase in the amount required for such a payment to the
organization, the employee organization shall provide the employee
with adequate and necessary data on the increase at a time
sufficiently prior to the effective date of the increase to allow the
employee an opportunity to revoke the written authorization, if
desired. The employee organization shall provide the public school
employer with notification of the increase at a time sufficiently
prior to the effective date of the increase to allow the employer an
opportunity to make the necessary changes and with a copy of the
notification of the increase which has been sent to all concerned
employees.
Upon receipt of a properly signed authorization for payroll
deductions by a classified employee pursuant to this section, the
governing board shall reduce the employee's pay warrant by the
designated amount in the next pay period following the closing date
for receipt of changes in pay warrants.
The governing board, on the same designated date of each month,
shall draw its order upon the funds of the district in favor of the
organization designated by the employee for an amount equal to the
total of the respective deductions made with respect to such
organization during the pay period.
The governing board shall not require the completion of a new
deduction authorization when a dues increase has been effected or at
any other time without the express approval of the concerned employee
organization.
(b) The governing board of each community college district, when
drawing an order for the salary or wage payment due to a classified
employee of the district may, without charge, reduce the order for
the payment of dues to, or for any other service provided by, the
certified or recognized organization of which the classified employee
is a member, or for the payment of service fees to the certified or
recognized organization as required in an organizational security
arrangement between the exclusive representative and a community
college district employer as provided under Chapter 10.7 (commencing
with Section 3540) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code.
However, the organizational security arrangement shall provide that
any employee may pay service fees directly to the certified or
recognized employee organization in lieu of having the service fees
deducted from the salary or wage order.
(c) This section shall apply to districts that have adopted the
merit system in the same manner and effect as if it were a part of
Article 3 (commencing with Section 88060).
