ok, if it is deducted with the consent of the employee, how is the amount to get transferred to union account, please. Is it with the consent of the auditors and will it not appear in the balance sheet/trail balance? Clarify please.

In some areas, the check off system exists. As some of the members explained, in the check off system "the deduction of subscription is part of check off system". In any case, deduction of subscription for recognised associations in any organisation is an ideal situation.

Hi All,
This discussion is getting so interesting.
With due respecte to @ O. Abdul Hameed, @Raj Kumar and @Sh Srinivas and other members, I wish to add that such cases of deduction from employee salary as "Check off Facility" works well when the large employee strength,where Union find it pratically difficult to collect the funds from their memebers. As rightly pointed out, consent in writing is a must from memebers and has its own additional HR process for company to maintain such documents.
Pratical problem arise when there is a dispute by the worker with union or a new Union is formed and other issues which may arise later; if management agrees to deduct such payment on behalf of Union, I am sorry to say but , it's like asking trouble for self by gaining nothing. So, always its safe legal counsillor advice to manangement is "AVOID". Provided, the company has a employees strength like that of National Insurance company or Indian Railways etc, who are spread across the country, such things works as its got its own dynamics and benefits to employees as well.

Dear Friends
OK. Unauthorised deduction from salary is prohibited, But generally most of organisations are ready to deduct union fees from salary after consent of union or employees.
Practically this type deduction is being done during the wage settlement process and most of union are include clause of deduction of union fee from salary of arrears.

I have an interesting case. We do not deduct union fee from salary and there is no agreement to that effect. But now we have received letter from the Union giving consent of all workers through General Body meeting requesting us to deduct specified amount from each employee to support a worker (He is also the President of the Union) who is having prolonged health issues.
