You must first sign a collection agreement with your employer so that they can collect the membership fee. This collection agreement authorises your employer to collect the membership fee directly from you pay.
You can give Tehy the permission to submit the collection agreement to the employer’s payroll or you can submit it yourself.
Tehy submits the collection agreement to the employer
- Log in to e-services.
- Choose the option “Send the collection agreement to the employer”.
- If this is a new employer, fill in a notification of a new workplace and choose employer collection as the payment method.
- If this is your current employer, use the e-services to report a change in payment method. If the employer collects the membership fee, your membership payment method field has a link attached, called “Change to employer collection”. Click this to change your payment method to employer collection. The change will be forwarded to Tehy’s member services and we will send the collection agreement to your currently registered employer.
You submit the collection agreement to the employer
If you want to submit the collection agreement to your employer yourself,
- log in to e-services.
- Check your employment information and click the Submit button to send the collection agreement directly to your employer’s payroll.
Alternatively, you can print out a paper membership form through this link. It will also double as a collection agreement for your membership fee.
Employer collection with several employers
The collection agreement only pertains to one employer. If you change employers, you must enter into a new agreement with them. Similarly, if you have several employers, you will need to sign an agreement with each of them.
If you change jobs or locations while still working for the same employer, we recommend you to contact the payroll to check whether you need to send in a new collection agreement, or whether the previous agreement is still applicable.
Starting the membership fee collection
Collecting the membership fee usually starts from the beginning of the month following the one during which the agreement was made. Remember to check your payslip to make sure that the Tehy membership fee is shown on the line for union payment or membership fee and that it is at 1.1 per cent.
Ending the collection of membership fee
If you no longer want your employer to collect the membership fee directly from your pay, please contact your payroll clerk and state that the membership fee collection must be ended. Remember to always check your payslip to make sure that the membership collection does not continue during the pay term after your notification.
Please remember to also notify the Tehy member register of ending the collection if your membership with Tehy continues. In this case, we will update the payment method in the member registry to “self-payment”.
