The Employer will implement any change to a bargaining unit employee's payroll deductions during the first full pay period following notification of such change by the Union. If a bargaining unit employees desires to revoke, cancel or change their prior dues deduction authorization, the Employer shall direct the employee to the Union. Any such dues deduction revocation, cancellation and/or change shall be effective only when submitted by the Union to the Employer and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the original payroll deduction/authorization. C. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues check -off authorized.
