Paying your membership fees
There are two ways to pay your membership fees:
1) Your employer collects the membership fees directly from your salary
This is the easiest way to pay the membership fees. You only need to check your pay slip that your employer has deducted the membership fees correctly. The employer is obliged to give you a payslip.
Make a collection agreement with your employer
The employer can start deducting the membership fees as soon as you have made a written trade union membership fees collection agreement with your employer.
Fill here the collection agreement
Members of PAM fill in this form, when they authorize the employer to collect the membership fees directly from their wages.
Membership fees when changing jobs
The membership fee collection agreement between you and your employer only concerns one employer at a time. If you change your workplace, remember to make a new membership fees collection agreement with your new employer. The old fees collection agreement only concerns your previous employer, not the new one. You should agree your membership fees collection with your new employer in your new job.
If you have stopped working for a longer period and you return to the working life, remember to check your pay slip that your membership fees are collected from you earnings.
2) You pay your membership fees yourself
You take care of paying the membership fees yourself from all earnings paid to you.
If you want to pay the fees yourself, ask for a reference list from PAM
The reference list has its own reference for each month.
The membership fee is paid
- for all taxable earnings, benefits, bonuses and
- holiday compensationpaid by your employer as well as
- for part-time work, even if the unemployment fund collects a membership fee for the adjusted unemployment benefit for the same period.
- the unemployment fund deducts the membership fees from the allowances and benefits paid.
