4 The Employer will implement any change to a deduction 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. When an employee is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings. In the case of an employee who is in a non-pay status during only part of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. Thus, all other legal and required deductions have priority over union dues. In addition, in order to meet certain accounting deadlines, all payroll changes connected with the deduction of union dues must be made by the fifteenth (15) of the preceding month. D. The Union shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings or court orders, or any other liability that may arise out of or by reason of action taken or not taken by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department for the purpose of complying with any of the provisions of this check-off agreement. In addition, the Union shall refund to the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. However, the Union shall not be required to make reimbursements should discovery of the error occur twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of the error. 2.2 Communication with Employees A.
