NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement

Appendix M
Check-off Authorization for NFLPA Deductions


I hereby authorize and direct my present club, or any other NFL club by which I may be employed as a player in the future to deduct from my salary and to pay the National Football League Players Association any initiation fees, annual membership dues, or the required service fee, in the amounts from time to time certified by the National Football League Players Association to the club as properly authorized for each year of the operation of this authorization.

I direct that the initiation fee and the annual dues be deducted beginning on the 30th day following the beginning of my employment as a player in the National Football League.

I direct that the annual service fee in the same amount as any initiation fee and the annual dues required of members of the National Football League Players Association be deducted on the 30th day following the beginning of my employment as a player in the NFL.

The foregoing authorized deductions are to be checked-off in equal weekly or biweekly installments from each preseason and regular season pay check, beginning with the first pay check after the date of the first preseason squad cutdown. The club will forward such deductions within seven days of each check-off to the National Football League Players Association, 63 Gene Upshaw Place, 1133 20th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036.

This check-off authorization is irrevocable for a period of one year or until the expiration date of the currently effective collective bargaining agreement between the National Football League Players Association, the NFL and the Member Clubs of the National Football League, whichever date occurs first, and I agree and direct that this authorization shall be automatically renewed and shall be irrevocable for successive periods of one year each or for the period of each succeeding collective bargaining agreement between the National Football League Players Association, the NFL and the Member Clubs of the NFL, whichever shall be shorter, unless written notice is given by me to the National Football League Players Association and the club not more than twenty (20) and not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of each period of one year or of each collective bargaining agreement between the National Football League Players Association, the NFL and the Member Clubs of the NFL, whichever occurs sooner.
