If an employee is appointed to a position for a short duration and that position is represented by a union, does that employee have to pay the fee?
(Example: an employee is appointed for three months per year. Does he or she have to pay for three months, even though the employee won’t be getting the union benefits that a career or long-term employee would get? A: Yes. Even though the person is in a position covered by an exclusive representative (union) for only a short period of time, the person is covered by wage ranges negotiated by the university and union, and therefore must pay the agency fee while in the position.
