The Dues Deduction Form or Dues Deduction Form authorizes UBC to deduct union dues, initiation fees and any assessments as established by CUPE 2278 from your wages.
It is a mandatory requirement that every TA must complete every year whether this is your first year TA’ing or you are a returning TA.
You do not have to complete a Schedule B for EACH of your TA appointments in every given term, but you do have to complete a new Schedule B for each session you will be TA’ing. So to make things as easy as possible, I ask all of our Winter Session TA’s to complete and submit a Schedule B form before the September Orientation regardless if you are TA’ing in term 1 or term 2 or even both.
Please note: the Schedule B form requires an actual SIGNATURE. Please do not type or write your name on the line above “Signature of Employee” or leave the line blank – it needs a good old fashioned signature!
The Manager, Graduate Programs for LFS collects all Schedule B forms for TA’s who have been appointed up to August 9th and forwards these on behalf of the TA’s to CUPE 2278. If you are appointed AFTER August 9th during any Winter Session, it is your responsibility to complete this form and send it to the union with a copy to the LFS Manager, Graduate Programs.
Could you please send me your completed Schedule B form by Friday, August 28th? I prefer a scanned copy as I will be sending them to the union electronically.
Thank you!
