Dues Information

  • Dues are owed each month you are active or the first 3 months of an unpaid leave of absence.
  • If your dues are not deducted in full for each month you will be invoiced for the difference.
  • The deductions that occur from your 5th and 20th paychecks each month apply to the month they are deducted.  Example: You received an invoice for September $50, this means that you did not have deductions from your 9-5 & 9-20 paychecks.
  • AFA does not deduct your dues, this is done by your payroll department.
  • Payments can be made online: afacwa.org/payment
  • If you have a question about your dues:  afacwa.org/dues_questions

Example: If you receive an invoice that states you owe dues for April, you will need to review your April 5th and 20th paycheck to verify if dues were deducted.
