II. CALCULATION METHOD
Union dues and agency fees for all state employee bargaining units represented by CSEA SEIU Local 2001 have been increased from a flat $20 biweekly amount to 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% | $20.00 | $25.00 |
Example 1: State employee earns a base annual salary of $45,000. One percent (1%) of $45,000 is $450 annually. $450 divided by 26 pay periods is $17.31. In this case, since $17.31 biweekly is below the minimum, this employee would pay the minimum $20 dues biweekly.
Example 2: State employee earns a base annual salary of $55,000. One percent (1%) of $55,000 is $550 annually. $550 divided by 26 pay periods is $21.15. In this case, the employee would pay $21.15 which is one percent (1%) of their biweekly base earnings. By this methodology, any employee one percent (1%) that are between $20 and $25 pay that amount.
Example 3: State employee earns a base annual salary of $70,000. One percent (1%) of $70,000 is $700 annually. $700 divided by 26 pay periods is $26.92. In this case, since $26.92 is above the maximum, this employee would pay the maximum $25 dues biweekly.
