Received a retroactive salary increase on the September 13, 2000 (Administration) or September 21, 2000 (Institution) paycheck and paid a PEF dues or agency shop amount of $24.62 (the current biweekly maximum) or $29.09 (maximum for pay basis code 21P)

AND

Are active or on paid leave when this dues adjustment is processed

When the PEF salary increases were processed, the biweekly dues maximum of $24.62 and $29.09 should not have been in effect. To compensate, a one time retroactive dues adjustment to recalculate the dues/agency shop for the September 13^th and September 21^st paychecks is being processed.

OSC will calculate an adjustment on all earnings subject to dues/agency shop.

OSC will subtract the amount paid in PEF dues on the September 13, 2000 or the September 21, 2000 from the adjusted amount to arrive at a "one time additional dues amount". This amount will be reflected in the "regular dues deduction code" for the period. A separate deduction code was not created for this one time adjustment.

Example: On the September check, an employee (pay basis code ANN) received a gross check of $4,756.01. The employee received regular earnings of $2,402.12, retro holiday pay of $10.07, retro OT of $108.22 and retro earnings of $2,235.60.

The employee previously paid PEF dues of $24.62. OSC will calculate the salary subject to the PEF dues adjustment which is the regular earnings ($2,402.12) plus the retro earnings ($2,235.60). Holiday pay and OT are excluded from the calculation of PEF dues/agency shop.

$4,637.72 Gross pay less Holiday pay and OT
x .008      PEF dues rate
$ 37.10
- 24.62
$ 12.48    (one time PEF dues adjustment)

In the November check OSC will add the $12.48 to the "regular" dues calculation for the period.

A listing identifying affected employees will be sent to the agencies. The list will include the "one time additional dues deduction" for the current check.
