UD can identify union dues withheld from pay. The amount may be fixed, percentage-based or linked to hours or membership rules. It is a deduction to reconcile against the relevant authorisation and dues schedule.
How to read this entry
Use the meaning Union dues alongside the column heading. An earnings amount, an employee deduction and an employer-cost memo can have different effects even when their labels look similar.
Example on a pay statement
A $12 weekly dues deduction over four paid weeks totals $48. A fifth weekly payday in a month can increase the monthly total without a change in the weekly rate.
Examples illustrate the checking method. They are not a personal tax calculation or a promise of a particular benefit.
What to check with payroll
Check the dues schedule, deduction frequency and any separate initiation fee or arrears entry.
