Payroll Deduction of Professional Dues
In previous legislative sessions, the Texas Legislature passed a bill into law requiring school districts to allow employees to have professional dues deducted from their salary. Each PISD employee may, by written request, have an amount deducted from their salary for membership fees or dues to a professional organization. The deduction is to be continued until the employee requests in writing that it be discontinued. The District is allowed by law to charge a nominal fee for this service, but PISD has elected not to do so. The deduction will be made each pay period from August through July.
