Summary
This guide outlines the requirement on public-sector employers to publish information related to paid time spent on union functions by employees who are union officials. The guide also recaps the check-off process, which is an arrangement whereby public-sector employers can deduct trade union subscriptions from their workers' salaries and pay those subscriptions to the union.
