APS PAYROLL DEDUCTION AUTHORIZATION AGREEMENT

I hereby authorize APS to deduct from the compensation due me one (1) deduction per pay period representing Federation membership dues in the amount certified to the APS Board, in writing, by the Albuquerque Teachers Federation and remit to the ATF. Union dues may be discontinued or revoked by the employee by filing such notice with the ATF office with a copy to the District Payroll Department duly signed. APS Board assumes no responsibility in connection with this authorized deduction except to act as remitting agent in forwarding the amount deducted to the ATF.
SELECT DUES PER PAY PERIOD*
NOTE
By vote of the 2015 AFT NM Convention, a portion of ATF membership dues ($1.00 per month or $.50 per pay period) is now allocated to the AFT NM COPE (Committee on Political Education) Fund which can be used for political purposes. This is a voluntary designation and you may opt-out at any time by notifying ATF in writing. In opting out, your $1.00 per month will be allocated to the non-political AFT NM Organizing Fund. Neither designation increases dues.
