The Association recognizes that the City has the legal obligation to meet with the individual employee to be accommodated before any adjustment is made in working conditions. The Association will be notified of these proposed accommodations prior to implementation by the City. Any accommodation provided to an individual protected by the ADA shall not establish a past practice in the grievance/arbitration procedure. Prior to disregarding any provision of this MOU in order to undertake required accommodations for an individual protected by the Act, the City will provide the Association with written notice of its intent to disregard the provision and will allow the Association the opportunity to discuss options to disregarding the MOU. SECTION 3 - ASSOCIATION SECURITY 3.1 Dues Deductions The Association may have the regular dues of its members deducted from the employees' paychecks; provided, however, that such dues deduction shall be made only upon the written authorization of the individual employee. Payroll deductions shall be for an amount specified by the Association and uniform as between employee members of the Association, and shall not include fines or fees. Authorization, cancellation or modification of payroll deduction shall be made upon forms provided by the City. The voluntary payroll deduction authorization will remain in effect until employment with the City is terminated or until canceled or modified by the employee by thirty (30) days advance written notice to the City. Amounts deducted and withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the officer designated in writing by the Association as the person authorized to receive such funds, at the address specified. The employee's earnings must be sufficient, after all other required deductions are made, to cover the amount of the deductions herein authorized. When an employee is in a non -pay status for an entire pay period, no deductions will be made to cover that pay period. In the case of an employee who is in a non -pay status during 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 required deductions have priority over the Association deduction. The Association hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless against any claim made and against any suit initiated against the City on account of checkoff of Association dues. In addition, the Association shall refund to the City any amount paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence.
