Please check your paystubs – your deductions should be the total contribution divided by 21 pays. Full payers should be $34.05/pay, ¾ payers should be $22.85/pay, and ½ payers should be $17.02/pay. Your last pay in June will round the contribution up or down to bring you to the correct amount for the year. Please see Amy Sparrow Percy if you have any questions about your “Teacher Dues” deduction.
Remember that each individual’s contributions go to three places: NYSUT, AFT, and our local OATA. The amounts for NYSUT & AFT are set by those organizations, not by the OATA. Also – it is correct that AFT charges ½ the amount of full dues for both ¾ dues payers and ½ dues payers.
