Agency Actions

Notify affected employees.

Authorized CSEA Dues and Agency Shop Fee amounts are not adjusted if an employee receives a salary increase. However, agencies must adjust the Dues or Agency Shop Fee amount when an employee's percentage of time worked changes (i.e., from part-time to full-time, or vice-versa) or an employee goes on sick leave at half pay.
