How many days in advance must the PBA notify PBSO of a dues change?

• A. 15 days prior
• B. 30 days prior
• C. 60 days prior
• D. 90 days prior

Answer: (B)

When adjustments to dues will impact payroll deductions, the agreement requires a 30-day written notice to PBSO. This lead time gives the payroll department a full cycle to process the change and clears enough time for members to review and prepare for the new deduction. A shorter window would strain payroll and member communication, while longer notice would add unnecessary delay. The 30-day requirement strikes a practical balance, supporting a smooth, predictable update process for both the employer and the members.
