SEMI-ANNUAL REALIGNMENT
UPDATED 01/20/2023
From time to time, dues realignments are necessary to capture contract wage increases, promotional increases, and true-ups for miscalculated or incorrectly submitted amounts. These changes typically occur in January and July of every year.
All members, regardless of FT/PT/Seasonal classification, will pay 2 hours worth of wages per month*
Any FT members CURRENTLY PAYING DUES as of 12/31/2022 who were below the 2 hours of wages obligation will see an increase of $1 or $2 per paycheck (depending on payroll cadence) with the upcoming realignment
All underpaying FT members will be subject to an annual dues increase not to exceed $54.00 until they are trued-up
Any PT members CURRENTLY PAYING DUES as of 12/31/2022 who were below the 2 hours of wages obligation will see an increase of $1 or $2 per paycheck (depending on payroll cadence) with the upcoming realignment
All underpaying PT members will be subject to an annual dues increase not to exceed $54.00 until they are trued-up
All current dues paying members will most likely see an increase in dues commensurate with the GWI raises from April and October of 2022.
*This is the formula currently used to calculate monthly dues: BIWEEKLY PAID EMPLOYEES: ((Hourly rate x 12 months) x 2 hours of work)/26 pay periods = Dues amount per check. eg: An employee making $18.00/hr pays $16.62 each pay period. eg: ((18.00 x 12) x 2)/26 = $16.62. WEEKLY PAID EMPLOYEES: If you work in the CitiBike system, the formula is ((Hourly rate x 12 months) x 2 hours)/52 pay periods because you are paid weekly.
