Controller: NCAE can keep state payroll deductions
While the North Carolina Association of Educators didn't show that it had more than 40,000 members, it can keep its payroll deduction under a separate provision, according to the state controller.
Posted — Updated"Therefore, my office will continue to process payroll deductions for state employees who are members of NCAE, work within State agencies, and are paid through the BEACON Payroll System," Combs wrote.
There is a question, however, as to whether the organization will still be able to be able to automatically collect dues from its members who work for local school districts. Those workers make up the bulk of the organization.
Removing the ability to do automatic payroll deduction could hobble a group that relies on public-sector members for dues.
NCAE has often found itself at odds with legislative Republicans over school funding. In 2012, members of the state House held an unusual post-midnight veto-override session to ban NCAE from taking advantage of the automatic dues deductions. However, a court overturned that law.
