Payroll deduction for dues.
Official statutory text
(1) The state officer in charge of the payroll system shall deduct from the salary or wages of a state officer or employee an amount specified by the officer or employee for payment to a professional or trade organization for dues or membership fees if:
(1) (a) The professional or trade organization consents to payment of dues in this manner.
(1) (b) The employee requests in writing that payment of dues or membership fees be made in this manner.
(1) (c) The pay period during which the deduction is made, the frequency, and the amount of the deduction are compatible with the payroll system.
(1) (d) The following number of state officers or employees request the deduction for the same professional or trade organization:
(1) (d) One hundred or more state officers or employees employed outside the jurisdiction of the state board of regents, or employed at Iowa state university of science and technology or the state university of Iowa.
(1) (d) Fifty or more state officers or employees employed at the university of northern Iowa.
(2) The deduction may be made even though the compensation paid to an officer or employee is reduced to an amount below the minimum prescribed by law. Payment to an officer or employee of compensation less the deduction shall constitute a full discharge of claims and demands for services rendered by the officer or employee during the period covered by the payment. The request for the deduction may be withdrawn at any time by filing a written notification of withdrawal with the state officer in charge of the payroll system.
