ANNEX 2
FORM OF NOTICE
TO BE GIVEN UNDER ARTICLE 3(2)
DEDUCTION
OF TRADE UNION SUBSCRIPTIONS FROM PAY
Following the coming into force of
the Deregulation (Deduction from Pay of Union Subscriptions) Order
1998 you no longer need to re-authorise payments of trade union
subscriptions by "check off" (deduction from pay by
your employer) every three years and your employer need not give
you advance written notice of any increase in the rate of deductions.
The law continues to require your written authorisation before
check off can start, and you continue to have the right to stop
paying by check off at any time, by giving notice in writing to
your employer.
This notice affects you if you
pay your union subscriptions by check off and you gave your current
authorisation before [date of coming into force of 1998
Order ].
If you are content for the new arrangements
to apply for you, you need do nothing.
If, however, you wish the previous
arrangements to continue to apply to you, you must complete the
form below and return it to [name and address of employer] within
14 days of receiving this notice.
If you do so, your current authorisation
will expire three years after you gave it. Any subsequent authorisation
will be subject to the new arrangements.
