In some Local Unions or District Councils, the Benefits Office retains a Vacation Fund. Before sending checks to the Members, some Vacation Funds allocate money towards Dues for 6-12 months. When this happens one check is written to the Local and a report of member names and amounts is sent to the Local.
This report and dues money can be posted three different ways into IMSe.
- Individual Dues Payments – This is the same as if the member were to mail a payment into the Local – This is the slowest way to post a large set of payments from one check.
- Employer Remittance – This allows you to post payments to multiple people at the same time but there is still manual entry required. You will also need to create an Employer and Add All Members to the Employer before entering payment amounts.
- Third Party Administration – This allows you to upload a file of Payments to members without much data entry on your part. This is the fastest and easiest way to post multiple payments at one time.
