2008-2009 IFO MEMBER DUES AND FAIR SHARE FEES
All faculty teaching more than 3 semester credit hours or teaching more than one course during the academic year are employees in the IFO bargaining unit and pay either dues (must have submitted a membership application) or a fair share fee (if a non-member) according to the following schedule adopted by the Delegate Assembly in March 2008:
           

Faculty on sabbatical or phased retirement will pay reduced dues/fees if the sabbatical or appointment reduces salary below 75% of base salary. Faculty on unpaid leave must pay the adjunct rate to maintain membership status.

Payroll Deductions

Faculty with full-time, year-long 2008-2009 appointments will ordinarily have their dues or fair share fees deducted from their paychecks in 16 equal installments.  For most faculty, deductions will begin in September 2008 and extend into April 2009. For faculty with less than 75% of full-time assignments or faculty with other types of appointments deductions will follow a schedule determined by the Inter Faculty Organization.  Adjunct or community faculty will normally be deducted in three equal installments.

You may also choose to pay your dues or fair share fees in one lump sum by sending a check for the full amount for your appointment category.  Make the check payable to Inter Faculty Organization and send it to:

In order to avoid complications with the State payroll process, lump sum payment checks must be received by the IFO Office prior to September 1, 2008.
