Response Notes

Responsive to this request, please find attached below a report of counts of HCPSS staff who paid fees or membership dues by bargaining unit as available per payroll deduction dates for June 2023 as indicated in the chart. For reference, the first full pay period in June will not include deductions for 10-month employees, therefore we have pulled the last pay period in May with a check issued date in June. Please note, membership and these deductions are voluntary at the discretion of the employee. Counts of HCPSS staff covered by bargaining unit as of the end of the first pay period in June are as follows:
Employees Covered by Bargaining Agreements
