Section: ACCOUNTING AND REMITTANCE
Subsection: UNION DUES REMITTANCE

  OUTLINE
    The Regional Pay System (RPS) is responsible for collecting Union Dues deductions on behalf of all unions and their members who participate in collective bargaining with the Federal Government. All Union Dues, current, arrears, insurance and insurance arrears are deducted on cycle 2 (second half of the month) pay, and remitted on a monthly basis. Remittances to all associations are required by the 10th working day of the next month after deductions have been taken.
    Magnetic Deduction Tapes: Deduction tapes are created for certain associations on a monthly basis. The release of the tape files will be handled by the Systems Control Unit each time the files are created. Some of the associations receive disk files rather than tape files. Some associations, because of their population size, receive only a listing and the associated payment on a monthly basis. The following list indicates which associations receive tape files, disk files or non-tape/disk files:
   
Tape File Unions--CATCA, PSAC, IBEW
Disk File Unions--PIPS, ESSA, ASFSFA
Non-Tape/Disk Unions--(Listings only):
   
  Canadian Union of Professional and Technical Employees,
  Council of Graphic Arts,
  Canadian Merchant Service Guild,
  Aircraft Operations Group,
  Canadian Association of Professional Radio Operators,
  Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers,
  Association of Public Service Financial Administrators,
  Communications, Energy and Paperworks Union,
  Research Council Employees Association.
