MEMBERSHIP DUES BASED ON 52 PAY PERIODS (weekly employees)

Dues Rate Based on 52 Pay Periods

The same dues structure applies to all members. No member is to be "grandfathered" at their old dues rate. No member

pays a flat fee.

One Dues Rate for all Members:

All members pay percentage rate dues of 1.6% of base salary (please reference page 21 for definition of

base salary).

The MINIMUM dues are $4.50 a week (based on 52 weeks employment per year).

The MAXIMUM is $16 per week (based on 52 weeks employment per year).

For all chapters where members are not on a 26 or 52 yearly payroll periods, dues are prorated at a 26 or 52

week rate.

How to Calculate Membership Percentage Dues Rate

Below is an example on calculating the 1.6% for weekly and bi-weekly base salary. See dues calculation chart for

detailed of the proposed dues structure based on your weekly, bi-weekly and annual salary.

3 Jane Doe $25,000 $480.77 $7.69

In this formula: 1.6% = membership percentage dues rate (do not change)

234 = minimum annual membership dues (do not change)

832 = maximum annual membership dues (do not change)

52 = represents the number of pay period (do not change)

C2 = represents the base salary for the current pay period (value can be changed to

reflect the Excel worksheet column and row)

Below is a sample formula on how to calculate

1.6% dues rate. This formula also takes into

consideration the minimum dues rate of $4.50 and

maximum dues rate of $16.00.




1.6% Calculation Reference Table (based on 52 pay periods)

This table is for reference only, no member shall pay a flat rate.

Employees making less than $14,625 per year ($281.25 per pay period) pay MINIMUM dues of $4.50 per

pay period.

Employees making $52,000 per year ($1,000 per pay period) or more pay MAXIMUM dues of $16.00 per

pay period.

Refer to this chart to determine if the 1.6% membership dues rate calculation is the correct range.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: What is the membership dues rate?

A: Dues are 1.6% of base salary, the minimum and maximum is prorated on the pay period.

Q: What is “Base Salary”?

A: Base salary is a fixed amount of money paid to an employee by an employer in return for work performed.

Base salary includes vacation time, sick time, personal day or PTO (Paid Time Off) excluding: overtime, shift

differentials, longevity payments and bonuses.

Q: What is excluded from base salary?

A: Overtime, differentials, longevity payments, and bonuses. If you are not sure if it is base salary, please email

Q: I calculated the dues of 1.6% for one of the hourly employees to be $10.80. Does he pay this amount

every pay period?

A: No. Hourly employees would pay 1.6% of the “Base salary” for hours worked. So if said employee worked 40

hours, and the following week he worked 32 hours, he would pay $10.80 for the week he work 40 hours and

$8.64 for the week he worked 32 hours.

Q: The software we use doesn’t offer an option to set up a minimum and/or maximum CAP?

A: Calculating dues is similar to calculating taxes, payroll databases are developed to calculate a percentage and

set a minimum and maximum. If you need further assistance we recommend contacting your software vendor

to help you set up the deductions. Please provide them with the dues formula in the “How to Calculate

Membership Percentage Dues Rate in Excel” section that reflects your pay period.
