This
is a tale of some of our travail in the past few years:
How
to File Those Forms
1.
Get Form SF-1187 Request for Payroll
Deduction
2.
Fill out 1.) Name, 2.)S.S.# 4.) HOME Address –
We need your HOME address ONLY! It is against the law for us to send an
election ballot to your office. Remember this is our only chance to get
your address right for elections and newsletters. 5.) Agency-USDA APHIS
PPQ
SECTION
A—Put down your branch number-- if known,
otherwise write the name of your work station. Currently dues are $7.50
per bi-weekly pay period.
Please do NOT sign authorized signature—that’s for the NAAE National
President.
SECTION B—This is for you! Please sign and
date (preferably in blue ink)
3.
Give your form to a National officer or see that the form gets mailed
to the NAAE National President for processing. His or her address is
always on the back of the newsletter (as well as all of the rest of
your NAAE National officers).
Where
to mail:
Sarah Rehberg, President
9080 Torrey Rd.
Willis, MI 48191
Remember—No
need to kill a lot of trees. We only need ONE original form to process
a dues withholding request. That old system of carbons and triplicates
is history and is just a bunch of environmental pollution- Don’t be a
dinosaur
Common Mistakes:
Some
folks have tried to send their dues forms directly to Management for
processing. This isn’t supposed to result in withheld dues, but
sometimes it does. Management is not supposed to process any forms
without an authorizing signature from the NAAE National President.
Bad
things that happen to unauthorized forms:
1. Management
hoards the unauthorized forms for about six months and then sends them
back to us unprocessed for “no signature”.
2. Unauthorized
forms are never processed, get thrown away, or otherwise “disappear”.
3. Management
processes the dues withholding, NAAE never knew you joined, we lose our
once in a lifetime opportunity to get your home address because we
never see the form, and you are angry you can’t vote and never get a
newsletter.
There
are plenty of other ways to mess dues withholding up, but we won’t
print them all here to avoid giving away too many of our best held
secrets. Just keep to the simple directions above and we should be able
to scale most any wall USDA can build. Happy recruiting |
