Note: The annual salary amounts above exclude additional salary factors.

Dues and Agency Shop Fee amounts for employees who receive an increase to base salary, Increment or Longevity Pay with an effective date after January 1, 2017 will remain at the same amount for calendar year 2017.

Dues and Agency Shop Fee amounts for part-time, annual salaried employees are calculated based on the employee’s part-time percentage.

The deduction amount for hourly and per diem employees should have Dues (Code 475) or Agency Shop Fee (Code 476) deducted at 1.3% of biweekly gross salary, not to exceed $29.38 and exclude location pay and overtime.

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 is placed on Sick Leave at half pay. These amounts should be adjusted accordingly when a change in job status results in a salary decrease.
