Dues Obligation as a Recalled Member

1. What are my dues obligations as a recalled member?

Furloughed members became dues obligated effective January 2010. If you have already signed a dues check-off card, your current dues will be deducted from earnings when you return to payroll. Past dues will not be payroll deducted and will you will continue to be billed by the APFA Dues Department for past dues.

In accordance with Article IV, Section 3.C. of the APFA Constitution, you may set up a payment plan to satisfy the obligation for back dues. The payment plan will be established by executing and signing a promissory note agreeing to pay all back dues within a period of time not to exceed twice the number of months dues accrued while furloughed.

The promissory note must be for all past dues accrued while on furlough and therefore should not be executed until returning to payroll if you did not pay your dues in full while on furlough. Upon signing and executing the promissory note, you will be considered a member in good standing and shall remain in good standing unless you fail to pay the monthly installment or incur an additional back dues obligation. If you accrue a new balance in any given month you must pay the newly accrued amount in addition to you payment plan amount to remain current.

For those members who will return to payroll on November 16, 2012, and wish to start the process to execute a promissory note, please contact the APFA Dues Department at [email protected] or 817-540-0108 ext. 8151.
