Our Constitution (Articles 7.06 and 7.07) sets out monthly dues for all members and/or employees. The only difference between part-time, full-time, and temporary employees is in determining whether dues will be collectible for any given month.
Part-time and full-time employees will owe a dues payment for every month, even when they are on Leave With-out Pay (LWOP). Temporary employees will only pay dues if they work in a month and arrears will NOT accumulate when they have not.
