II. CALCULATION METHOD

Union dues and agency fees for all state employee bargaining units represented by CSEA SEIU Local 2001 are a percentage of base pay (overtime excluded and premium pay excluded) with a biweekly minimum and biweekly maximum as follows:

% of base pay as dues	minimum biweekly dues/fees	maximum biweekly dues/fees
1.00%	$24.00	$34.00

Example 1: State employee earns a base annual salary of $60,000. One percent (1%) of $60,000 is $600 annually. $600 divided by 26 pay periods is $23.08. In this case, since $23.08 biweekly is below the minimum, this employee would pay the minimum $24.00 dues biweekly.
: Example 2: State employee earns a base annual salary of $75,000. One percent (1%) of $75,000 is $750 annually. $750 divided by 26 pay periods is $28.85. In this case, the employee would pay $28.85, which is one percent (1%) of their biweekly base earnings. By this methodology, employees would pay one percent (1%) of earnings between $24.00 and $34.00.
: Example 3: State employee earns a base annual salary of $95,000. One percent (1%) of $95,000 is $950 annually. $950 divided by 26 pay periods is $36.54. In this case, since $36.54 is above the maximum, this employee would pay the maximum $34.00 dues biweekly.
